Ability of Anthropometric Measurements to Predict Metabolic Health among Patients in Alberta: A Cross-sectional Study in Primary Care
Download2023-03-08
Ghosh, Sunita, Purcell, Sarah A., Martin, Ken, Lima, Isac, Prado, Carla M.
Purpose: This study compared anthropometric and body fat percent (BF%) equations in relation to measures of metabolic health. Methods: BF% calculations (Bergman, Fels, and Woolcott) and anthropometric measurements were used to determine obesity among a sample of patients attending primary care in...

Protein Recommendation to Increase Muscle (PRIMe): Study protocol for a randomized controlled pilot trial investigating the feasibility of a high protein diet to halt loss of muscle mass in patients with colorectal cancer
Download2021-02-01
Ford, Katherine L., Sawyer, Michael B., Trottier, Claire F., Ghosh, Sunita, Deutz, Nicolaas E. P., Siervo, Mario, Porter Starr, Kathryn N., Bales, Connie W., Disi, Ilana Roitman, Prado, Carla M.
Background Severe muscle mass (MM) loss is a defining feature of cancer observed across all types and stages of disease and is an independent predictor of poor clinical outcomes including higher incidences of chemotherapy toxicity and decreased survival. Protein is essential to build MM, yet the...

Skeletal muscle anabolism is a side effect of therapy with the MEK inhibitor: Selumetinib in patients with cholangiocarcinoma
Download2012
Ghosh, Sunita, Doyle, L. Austin, Baracos, Vickie E., Prado, Carla M., Sawyer, Michael B., Bekaii-Saab, Tanios, Shrestha, Suraj
background: Cancer cachexia is characterised by skeletal muscle wasting; however, potential for muscle anabolism in patients with advanced cancer is unproven. methods: Quantitative analysis of computed tomography images for loss/gain of muscle in cholangiocarcinoma patients receiving selumetinib...

Total energy expenditure assessed by 24-h whole-room indirect calorimeter in patients with colorectal cancer: baseline findings from the PRIMe study
Download2023-08-01
Ford, Katherine L, Pichard, Claude, Sawyer, Michael B., Trottier, Claire F, Disi, Ilana Roitman, Purcell, Sarah A, Ghosh, Sunita, Siervo, Mario, Deutz, Nicolaas E. P., Prado, Carla M.
Background Total energy expenditure (TEE) determines energy requirements, but objective data in patients with cancer are limited. Objectives We aimed to characterize TEE, investigate its predictors, and compare TEE with cancer-specific predicted energy requirements. Methods This cross-sectional...
