• Age‐related decrease in energy expenditure at rest parallels reductions in mass of internal organs

  This study explores to what extent the mass of internal organs may impact the age‐related decrease in energy expenditure at rest (EErest). The relationship between direct measurements of EErest in elderly women and predicted EErest based on equations deriving from the metabolic activity in tissue from younger women were also elucidated. Body composition of elderly women was measured by an impedance method. EErest was measured by the Douglas bag m…

• Organ weights in healthy and apparently healthy Danish infants

  The weights of brain, heart, liver, kidneys, spleen, lungs, and thymus were registered in 222 forensic autopsies of Danish infants aged 1 week to 0.99 year (137 males, 85 females), who prior to death were healthy or apparently healthy based on clinical evidence. Variability of organ weights was estimated, and the relationship between individual organ weights and age, body weight, and body length, and the sum of organ weights was evaluated in rela…
