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 …

The doubly labeled water (DLW) method is considered the reference method for the
measurement of energy expenditure under free-living conditions. However, the …

The accuracy and noninvasive nature of the doubly labeled water (DLW) method makes it
ideal for the study of human energy metabolism in free-living conditions. However, the DLW …

Objectives: To estimate the total (CV t), within-subject (CV w) and between-subject (CV b)
variation in free-living energy expenditure as measured by the doubly-labelled water (DLW) …

The doubly labeled water (DLW) method is currently the most relevant, albeit expensive,
method for measuring free-living energy expenditure in animals and humans. The DLW …

Abstract Background/Objectives The doubly labeled water (DLW) method is the gold
standard methodology for determination of free-living, total daily energy expenditure (TEE) …

The doubly labeled water (DLW) method was developed 50 years ago, but nearly 40 years
passed before it became a major tool for human nutrition research. Its use has grown …

Scientists have been measuring energy expenditure by using gas exchange for the past 200
y. This technique is based on earlier work in the 1660s. Gas exchange in respirometers …

Of> 250 studies on energy metabolism using the doubly labeled water (DLW) technique,≈
12 full papers describe work performed in the Third World. Unfortunately, the term “Third …

The global increase in the prevalence of obesity has dramatically increased interest in
understanding the factors that influence human total energy expenditure (TEE). This in turn …
