3. Assessment and prognostic importance of nutritional status and body composition in liver transplantation
Sammanfattning : Chronic liver disease and liver cirrhosis are progressive diseases closely linked to metabolism and nutritional status. Weight loss is a result of negative energy balance and is therefore a good measure of risk of malnutrition. LÄS MER
4. The effect of protein intake and physical exercise on energy turnover and substrate utilisation at energy balance in man
Sammanfattning : The principal goal of the thesis has been to evaluate the effect of protein intake and physical exercise on energy turnover and substrate utilisation. Body composition assessment is of importance as an indicator of the energy balance. Therefore, in the first study the aim was to develop new models to estimate body composition more accurately.
