A systematic review on use of a handheld indirect calorimeter to assess energy needs in adults and children

Article Abstract:

The validity and reliability of a handheld indirect calorimeter (the "Gem") in determining daily energy needs in adults and children are evaluated through comparative and reference studies. Results show that the Gem is a valid and reliable device for energy assessment in children and adults.
