- Applied nutritional investigation Effect of age on resting energy expenditure in patients with cancer(2022) SOUZA, Micheline Tereza Pires de; OZORIO, Gislaine Aparecida; OLIVEIRA, Giovanna Nunes de; LOPEZ, Rossana Veronica Mendoza; ALVES-ALMEIDA, Maria Manuela Ferreira; KULCSAR, Marco Aurelio Vamondes; RIBEIRO JR., Ulysses; SINGER, Pierre; WAITZBERG, Dan L.Objective: Because older patients with cancer are at high risk for developing malnutrition, it is critical to understand their energy needs and to feed them appropriately. The aim of this study was to determine whether there are differences in resting energy expenditure between younger and older adults with cancer and in various age groups of older patients. Methods: This retrospective, observational, and descriptive study from a single center included adult ( 60 y) and older ( 0.001). The REE of older patients (1263.3 [234.1] kcal/d) was lower than that of patients 60 y, an REE greater than those for individuals 60 to 69 y, 70 to 79 y, and 0.001). REE in patients 60 to 69 y was greater than for those 0.001). When compared with the Harris-Benedict formula, the REE intraclass correlation coefficient for all older patients was 0.514 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.064-0.736); for ages 60 to 69 y it was 0.527 (95% CI, 0.126-0.733), and for ages 70 y, it was 0.466 (95% CI,-0.080 to-0.756). Conclusion: Measured REE in patients with cancer decreases with age. This finding is critical for appropriate caloric provision for older patients with cancer. ?? 2022 Elsevier Inc.
