INTRODUCTION: Little is known about the energy needs in @entity2033 ( @entity2033 ). The aims of this study are to analyze and compare the total energy expenditure (TEE) and energy balance (EB) in a representative sample of @entity2033 @entity1 with healthy controls. METHODS: This is an observational, case-control single-center study. Food caloric energy intake (EI) and TEE were considered for estimating EB. A dietary recall questionnaire was used to assess the EI. TEE was computed as the sum of resting energy expenditure (REE), measured by indirect calorimetry and physical activity (PA) monitored by an actigraph. RESULTS: A total of 22 @entity1 were included (36% @entity1 , mean age 50.3    15.6 years, motor Unified @entity2033 Scale 27.9    23.7, total functional capacity 11.0 (7.0-13.0), EI 38.6    10.0 kcal/kg, PA 5.3 (3.0-7.4) kcal/kg, REE 30.9    6.4 kcal/kg, TEE 2,023.4 (1,592.0-2,226.5) kcal/day) and 18 controls (50% @entity1 , mean age 47.4    13.8 years, EI 38.6    10.3 kcal/kg, PA 8.4 (5.0-13.8) kcal/kg, REE 30.8    6.6 kcal/kg, TEE 2,281.0 (2,057.3-2,855.3) kcal/day). TEE was significantly lower in @entity1 compared to controls (p = 0.03). PA was lower in @entity1 compared to controls (p = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS: Although @entity1 with @entity2033 appeared to have lower energy expenditure, mainly due to decreased @entity3457 , they were still able to maintain their energy needs with an adequate food intake.    2015 S.
