Study Overview: Energy Expenditure in Sarcopenia Patients Using the Doubly Labeled Water Method
Introduction
Sarcopenia, characterized by the progressive loss of muscle mass and strength, is a significant health issue among older adults. It leads to impaired physical function, reduced quality of life, and increased risks of falls and fractures, often resulting in higher healthcare costs. While nutritional therapy plays a critical role in the prevention and management of sarcopenia, there is limited data on optimal energy intake levels for these patients. This study seeks to address this gap by determining the total energy expenditure (TEE) in pre-sarcopenia and sarcopenia patients using the doubly labeled water (DLW) method, which is the gold standard for measuring energy expenditure in free-living conditions.
Objectives
The primary objective is to clarify the TEE in sarcopenia patients under unrestricted living conditions. Secondary outcomes include exploring relationships between TEE and factors like physical function, nutrient intake, and physical activity.
Study Design
This is a multicenter, observational study conducted across institutions, including Fukuoka University and the National Institute of Health and Nutrition. The study involves participants aged 60 to 85 years who are diagnosed with pre-sarcopenia or sarcopenia. A total of 60 participants will be recruited.
Methods
Doubly Labeled Water (DLW) Method
Participants will consume water labeled with stable isotopes of hydrogen and oxygen. By measuring the rate at which these isotopes are excreted through urine, researchers can accurately calculate the TEE over a 14-day period. This method provides a highly reliable estimate of energy expenditure under real-life conditions.
