Effect of Using the Food Quotient as a Proxy of the Respiratory Quotient in the Calculation of Energy Expenditure by the Doubly Labeled Water Method in Older Adults
Self-reported dietary intake data may provide a more context-specific estimate of the FQ than relying solely on RQ from indirect calorimetry or the fixed RQ of 0.85 in DLW-based TEE calculations. Although the resulting differences in TEE are modest, they can lead to overestimation of energy requirements over time.
