The optimal estimate for energy requirements in adult patients with the m.3243 A > G mutation in mitochondrial DNA.

CONCLUSION: TEE is lower in these MD patients than the recommendations for healthy adults because of their lower physical activity. In MD patients six predictive equations for REE provide a reliable alternative for IC, with an accuracy in the range of 71-76%. As PAL is highly variable and not reliably estimated by patients, measurement of PAL using accelerometery is recommended in this population. This article is protected by copyright.
