Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study was to clarify the characteristics of the resting metabolic rate, total energy expenditure (TEE) and physical activity level for 27 adults (mean age: 64.7±7.8 years) with motor disabilities, and to present useful basis data for nutritional care. During the measurement period of TEE by the doubly labeled water method, we conducted resting metabolic measurement, anthropometric measurement and 3-day weighed food records (2 weekdays and 1 weekend day). It was clarified that the resting metabolism and TEE per lean body mass of the cerebral palsy group were significantly higher than those of the stroke group. From the above, in a support facility for people with disabilities, it is important to create a nutritional care plan in consideration of the characteristics of the energy metabolism of the underlying disease.
