“…Preliminary analyses were performed both with and without participants with BMI <18.5 (suggestive of chronic energy deficiency) and, as there are no articles epidemiology reality. Although most of the extant studies did not utilize the DLW technique, there is substantial experience measuring EE in developing countries in order to ascertain energy intake requirements (26). A comprehensive review of these data concluded that there was no evidence to suggest systematically higher EE in developing countries (27).…”

Objective: Obesity is a prevalent condition in industrialized societies and is increasing around the world. We sought to assess the relative importance of resting energy expenditure (REE) and activity EE (AEE) in two populations with different rates of obesity. Methods and Procedures: Women of African descent between 18 and 59 years of age were recruited from rural Nigeria and from metropolitan Chicago. Total EE (TEE) was measured using the doubly labeled water (DLW) technique and REE by indirect calorimetry; AEE was calculated as the difference between TEE and the sum of REE plus a factor for the thermic effect of food. In the analyses all EE parameters were adjusted for body size using a regression method. Comparisons were made between the groups and associations between EE and adiposity examined. Results: A total of 149 Nigerian and 172 African-American women completed the protocol. All body size measurements were lower in the Nigerian women. Adjusted TEE and REE were higher in the Nigerian cohort but adjusted AEE did not differ significantly. Adjustment for parity, seasonality, and recent illness did not modify mean AEE or adiposity. In neither cohort was there a meaningful association between measures of AEE and adiposity. Discussion: In these cohorts of women from very different environments, AEE did not differ significantly nor was it associated cross-sectionally with adiposity. If generalizable, these findings suggest that reduction in AEE may have less of a role in the development of obesity than anticipated. The possibility remains that variation in type and duration of activity plays a role not captured by total AEE.

“…Unfortunately, as previous studies investigated only one of these PAIs for particular activities, it is impossible to compare the PAIs for different activities (Ferro-Luzzi, 2005). As described above, daily life consists of various kinds of activities, with these activities being classified roughly into weight-dependent, non-weight dependent and intermediate activities.…”

To express intensity of physical activity, energy expenditure is often divided by either body weight, resting metabolic rate, or fat-free mass. These calculations are used widely as the physical activity index. However, it is unclear how body size influences the valid estimation of intensity of various kinds of activities. In the present study, we investigated whether these indices are able to adjust for body size when calculating energy expenditure in various kinds of activities. In addition, we examined to what extent the error of index is introduced by differences in body size. Resting metabolic rates and energy expenditure during sitting light work, 4 lifestyle and 7 ambulant activities were measured in the postabsorptive state using indirect calorimetry in 71 healthy Japanese adults. We regarded an index as an inappropriate adjustment for body size when there was a significant correlation between it and body weight. Energy expenditure normalized by body weight correlated with body weight in all sedentary states; when normalized by lying resting metabolic rate it correlated with body weight in 3 ambulant activities; when normalized by sitting resting metabolic rate it correlated with body weight in 2 lifestyle and 5 ambulant activities; and when normalized by fat-free mass it correlated with only 1 ambulant activity. The indices caused errors in estimates of activity intensity of less thanϮ10% when body weight was more than 10 kg above average. In conclusion, the body weight-normalized index was inappropriate for sedentary activities and the other three indices were inappropriate for ambulant activities. However, the use of any of these indices introduces an error in the estimate of total energy expenditure of considerably less thanϮ10% for body weights within the normal range.

Abstract. Recent LHCb measurements of W and Z 0 boson production cross-sections, cross-section ratios and jet production in /γ * Z 0 → µ + µ − events are reported. Due to the high rapidity coverage and the low momentum trigger thresholds, the LHCb detector can probe previously unexplored regions of the (x, Q 2 ) space. This allows to further constrain the Parton Density Functions of the proton. Electroweak bosons are reconstructed in several leptonic decay channels, using up to 1 fb −1 of pp collisions at √ s = 7.Q 2
