Details and patient eligibility

About

The investigators will retrospectively analyze and compare data of 2 groups of overweight and obese patients: subjects who followed a diet based on Resting Energy Expenditure (REE) measured by indirect calorimetry and subjects who followed a diet based on REE estimated by the Harris-Benedict equation. Propensity score adjustment will be used to adjust for known differences between the 2 groups

Description:

Group who performed indirect calorimetry. REE measured by indirect calorimetry.

Diagnostic Test: Indirect calorimetry

NO Indirect Calorimetry group (NO-IC group)
