Abstract
Objective: To evaluate whether the doubly labeled water (DLW) method is precise under conditions required for a large-scale evaluation of dietary intake instruments.
Design: Energy expenditure was measured in 484 subjects (main study). Subjects received one of five different weight DLW dose bottles prepared in advance of the study. A repeat energy expenditure measure was obtained in a subset of 24 subjects (substudy). DLW measures of energy expenditure were performed over a 2-week interval with urine collection at the beginning and end.
Setting: Free-living environment with three clinic visits in the Maryland suburban area of Washington, DC.
Subjects: A total of 484 subjects (261 men and 223 women) aged 40–69 y, 24 of whom (13 men and 11 women) participated in a substudy in which DLW was administered a second time.
Results: The coefficient of variation of the DLW energy expenditure measurement was 5.1%. This included a 2.9% analytical and a 4.2% physiologic variation. Based on observed initial isotopic enrichment, the preweighed dosages were optimal in 70% of the main study subjects, and 9% received a dose that was less than optimal. Only six subjects (1%) were excluded because the final isotopic enrichment was too low to conduct precise measurement.
Conclusions: Use of preweighed DLW dosages did not compromise the precision of the DLW method. The DLW method is a reliable measure of energy expenditure for large-scale evaluations of dietary intake instruments.
