Novel Resting Energy Expenditure Prediction Equations for Multi-Ethnic Asian Older Adults with Multimorbidity.
Article in Nutrients, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/
objectivesMalnutrition is prevalent among hospitalized older adults with multimorbidity, leading to adverse health outcomes and increased healthcare costs. An accurate assessment of resting energy expenditure (REE) is crucial because an inaccurate estimation of energy needs may result in unintentional underfeeding or overfeeding, both of which can worsen nutritional status and clinical outcomes. While indirect calorimetry (IC) is the preferred method, its clinical applicability is limited. Prediction equations are commonly used, but their accuracy in older Asian patients with multimorbidity remains unclear.
methodsThis multicenter, cross-sectional study enrolled 400 patients aged ≥65 years from March to December 2023 in Outram Community Hospital (OCH) and Sengkang Community Hospital (SKCH). Participants' REE was measured using indirect calorimetry. We compared the performance of the newly developed novel prediction equations (PEs), derived from readily accessible or easily measured anthropometric data, against established equations. Statistical analysis included the calculation of R
resultsA high prevalence (85%) of multimorbidity was observed among the participants. REE increased progressively with body mass index (BMI) across all groups (865.6-1269.4 kcal in females; 889.1-1269.4 kcal in males). The novel PEs (RMSE: 186-191; ICC: 0.5-0.52) demonstrated improved accuracy and stronger reliability compared to conventional equations (RMSE: 222-258; ICC: 0.271-0.460).
conclusionsOur newly developed PEs offer potentially valuable tools for precise REE estimation in hospitalized older Asian patients with multimorbidity. Further external validation and investigation in diverse populations are necessary to confirm these results.
