Body composition indexes of a load-capacity model: Gender- and BMI-specific reference curves
Download2015
Broyles, Stephanie, Heymsfield, Steven B., Prado, Carla M., Katzmarzyk, Peter T., Wells, Jonathan C. K., Mire, Emily, Siervo, Mario
Fat mass (FM) and fat-free mass (FFM) are frequently measured to define body composition phenotypes. The load–capacity model integrates the effects of both FM and FFM to improve disease-risk prediction. We aimed to derive age-, gender- and BMI-specific reference curves of load–capacity model...

Ford, Katherine L., Trottier, Claire F., Wismer, Wendy V., Sawyer, Michael B., Siervo, Mario, Deutz, Nicolaas E.P., Prado, Carla M., Vallianatos, Helen
Background Dietary changes often accompany management of a cancer diagnosis, but how and why patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) make dietary decisions requires further investigation. Objective To learn about patients’ food-related beliefs and understand whether and why dietary changes were...

Exploring Relationships with Food after Dietary Intervention in Patients with Colorectal Cancer: A Qualitative Analysis from the Protein Recommendations to Increase Muscle (PRIMe) trial
Download2024-06-07
Ford, Katherine L., Quintanilha, Maira, Trottier, Claire F., Wismer, Wendy, Sawyer, Michael B., Siervo, Mario, Deutz, Nicolaas E.P., Vallianatos, Helen, Prado, Carla M.
Purpose Patients with cancer often experience nutritional challenges and are vulnerable to muscle mass loss. While substantial research is directed towards understanding how nutritional interventions affect clinical outcomes, insights into patients’ personal experiences during these trials remain...

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...

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...
