Eligibility

Age
18 Years to 99 Years

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: - Age between 18 and 75 years - Complete or incomplete SCI at or below C5 (i.e. not on a ventilator) - Chronic (>1 year) SCI

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: - Presence of metabolic syndrome - Pregnant - Presence of menstruation period at day of measurement - Recent presence (39 degrees)

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Body composition measured by DXA, Bod Pod, and BIA. DXA and Bod Pod will be used as gold standard to determine fat mass, fat percentage and fat free mass, while the outcomes of BIA will be used to compare with the standard and develop a new formula to predict the fat free mass in people with SCI. Resting energy expenditure in Kcal/day measured by indirect calorimetry. Fat mass and fat free mass will be included in developing predictive REE formulas for SCI populations. Primary outcome measures: - resting energy expenditure in Kcal/day - Fat mass (kg) - Fat free mass (kg)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Anthropometrics: body mass (kg), height (cm), Bodymass index (BMI), waist circumference (cm), Fat free mass (kg and %), fat mass (kg and %). Gender, age, lesion level and motor completeness, time since injury, educational level, present co-morbidities, alcohol consumption, smoking habits and ethnicity.
