CORE--ENERGY BALANCE AND NUTRITION ASSESSMENT

描述(改编自申请)：自1988年成立以来， 能量平衡核心为进行研究的调查人员提供服务 关于能量代谢与健康和疾病的关系。核心的特点是 最先进的室内量热计和测力平台，便于准确 测量总能量消耗，评估日常活动和 锻炼身体。Core还将其服务扩展到测量衬底 氧化以及体能和体能测试。我们现在的目标是 提供持续卓越的能量代谢服务，并加强 为寻求使用身体成分的调查人员提供的营养评估服务 和饮食评估方法在他们的调查。为了 强调这些不断增长的服务能力核心已更名为 能量平衡和营养评估核心。 孙明博士于1990年加入CORE，并于1991年成为CORE董事。他的 研究兴趣一直集中在能量平衡和肥胖问题上。他有广泛的知识 计算机和电子仪器在生物医学中的应用体会 研究。戈登·延森博士于1998年加入Core并成为其联席主任。 他的研究兴趣是老年人的营养筛查和评估 与职能地位有关的人员。他提供身体方面的专业知识 成分和饮食评估。核心的其他非常重要的补充 布霍夫斯基博士、陈博士和埃克-克莱门斯博士。布霍夫斯基博士的研究重点是 能量平衡和一般体力活动的营养方面，以及 尤其是当它们与镰状细胞疾病有关时。陈博士的兴趣在于 健康人和疾病人的能量平衡以及发育和发育中的能量平衡 改进能量消耗、摄入量和身体的测量技术 组成。埃克-克莱门斯博士的研究检查了饮食评估方法和 特别是，女性饮食摄入量自我报告中的生物行为偏差。

DESCRIPTION (adapted from the application): Since its inception in 1988 the Energy Balance Core has provided services to investigators conducting research on energy metabolism in relation to health and disease. The Core features a state-of-the-art room calorimeter and force platform which facilitate accurate measurements of total energy expenditure, and assessments of daily activity and exercise. The Core has also extended its services to measure substrate oxidation as well as fitness and physical performance testing. We now aim to provide continued excellence in energy metabolism services and to enhance nutrition assessment services for investigators seeking to use body composition and diet assessment methodologies in their investigations. In order to emphasize these growing service capabilities the Core has been renamed the Energy Balance and Nutrition Assessment Core. Dr. Ming Sun joined the Core in 1990 and became its Director in 1991. His research interest has been in energy balance and obesity. He has extensive experience in applying computers and electronic instruments to biomedical research. Dr. Gordon Jensen joined the Core and became its Co-Director in 1998. His research interests are in nutrition screening and assessment of older persons in relation to functional status. He provides expertise in body composition and diet assessments. Other very important additions to the Core were Drs. Buchowski, Chen, and Eck-Clemens. Dr. Buchowski's research focuses on nutritional aspects of energy balance and physical activity in general, and particularly as they relate to sickle cell disease. Dr. Chen's interest is in energy balance in healthy and diseased humans as well as in developing and improving measuring techniques in energy expenditure, intake, and body composition. Dr. Eck-Clemens research examines diet assessment methodology and in particular bio-behavioral biases in self-reports of dietary intake in women.
