Background: Roughly 200 million women become pregnant every year - most of them living in developing countries in Asia and Africa - many of these women suffer from ongoing nutritional deficiencies, contributing to the estimate of half a million maternal deaths a year. Educational programs teaching on …

Deployment and management of environmental infrastructures, such as charging infrastructure for Electric Vehicles (EV), is a challenging task. For policy makers, it is particularly difficult to estimate the capacity of current deployed public charging infrastructure for a given EV user population. While …

Background & aims: In dietary practice, it is common to estimate protein requirements on actual bodyweight, but corrected bodyweight (in cases with BMI <20 kg/m2 and BMI ≥30 kg/m2) and fat free mass (FFM) are also used. Large differences on individual level are noticed in protein requirements using these …

Since the first release of modern electric vehicles, researchers and policy makers have shown interest in the deployment and utilization of charging infrastructure. Despite the sheer volume of literature, limited attention has been paid to the characteristics and variance of charging behavior of EV users. …

On any given day in the Netherlands there are 25,000 children who have an incarcerated parent. This is an estimate based on the average birth rate in relationship to the imprisoned population.

STUDY DESIGN: Cross-sectional study. OBJECTIVES: This study: (1) investigated the accuracy of bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) and skinfold thickness relative to dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) in the assessment of body composition in people with spinal cord injury (SCI), and whether sex …

Background & aims: Overweight and obesity can cause several health risks, and weight loss can help reduce them. However, weight loss in older adults is associated with loss of muscle mass and bone mineral density. To prevent this, it is important to monitor changes in FFM. Bioelectrical impedance analysis …
