Determining energy expenditure by measuring the body's oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production is known as __________.

As the score on the Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool increases, risk of malnutrition increases.

The increase in energy expenditure following the consumption of food is known as the __________.

Arm muscle area can be a useful index of total body muscle in children and adults.

Which one of the following is the preferred approach for determining energy expenditure in free-living research subjects?

The Dietary Reference Intake value which is defined as the average dietary energy intake predicted to maintain energy balance in a healthy person of a defined age, gender, weight, height, and level of physical activity consistent with good health is the __________.

In clinical settings such as hospitals, the energy requirements of patients are generally estimated using one of several available prediction equations.

A patient is admitted to a hospital ward with a current body weight of 53 kg. The patient reports that his usual weight is 65 kg. What is the patient's percent weight change?
