Obesity is a major health issue in both developed and developing countries. The balance between energy intake and exercise is important, and measurements of both energy intake and energy expenditure are required. Many studies have attempted to monitor energy intake via wearable technology, but no standard methods have yet been developed for this purpose. This is in marked contrast to the long history of measurement and estimation of energy expenditure. Indirect calorimetry is commonly used in the laboratory. Energy expenditure associated with daily activity is the most important measure, although a number of alternative measures have also been proposed. This mini-review discusses the current status of energy expenditure measurement.
肥胖是发达国家和发展中国家的一个主要健康问题。能量摄入和运动之间的平衡很重要，需要对两者进行测量。许多研究试图通过可穿戴技术来监测能量摄入，但目前尚未为此目的开发出标准方法。这与长期以来对能量消耗的测量和估计形成鲜明对比。间接测热法在实验室中常用。与日常活动相关的能量消耗是最重要的测量指标，尽管也提出了一些替代测量指标。这篇迷你综述讨论了能量消耗测量的现状。
