The assessment of body composition in patients with cirrhosis
Morgan, M Y; Madden, A M (1996)Very little information is available on body composition in patients with cirrhosis. Difficulties arise in studying these patients because they tend to retain fluid and this results in changes in tissue density and in the ... -
A comparison of skinfold anthropometry and bioelectrical impedance analysis for measuring percentage body fat in patients with cirrhosis
Madden, A M; Morgan, M Y (1994)Percentage body fat was determined by skinfold anthropometry and bioelectrical impedance analysis in 60 patients with cirrhosis, 30 of whom had overt fluid retention, and in 60 age- and sex-matched healthy volunteers. In ... -
Patterns of energy intake in patients with cirrhosis and healthy volunteers
Madden, A M; Morgan, M Y (1999)Fuel utilization and N economy are optimized in patients with cirrhosis by provision of several small meals throughout the day and a late-night snack of complex carbohydrate. Currently, however, only limited information ... -
The potential role of dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry in the assessment of body composition in cirrhotic patients
Madden, A M; Morgan, M Y (1997)Very little information is available on body composition in patients with cirrhosis. Difficulties arise in studying these patients because they tend to retain fluid and this results in changes in tissue density and in the ... -
Resting energy expenditure should be measured in patients with cirrhosis, not predicted
Madden, A M; Morgan, M Y (1999)Measurements of resting energy expenditure (REE) can be used to determine energy requirements. Prediction formulae can be used to estimate REE but have not been validated in cirrhotic patients. REE was measured, by indirect ... -
Taste perception in cirrhosis : its relationship to circulating micronutrients and food preferences
Madden, A M; Bradbury, W; Morgan, M Y (1997)Impairment of gustatory acuity may influence nutrient intake and hence nutritional status. The aim of this study was to evaluate gustatory acuity in patients with cirrhosis and its relationship to circulating concentrations ... -
Validation of a computer based system for assessing dietary intake
Levine, J A; Madden, A M; Morgan, M Y (1987)Dietary intake was assessed in 50 patients in hospital by using a dietary history method and computer based system for data collection and standard food tables to calculate the composition of nutrients. The results were ...
