Westerterp K
Obes Rev
. 2018 Dec;
19 Suppl 1:8-13.
PMID: 30511504
Physical activity and body composition show a typical pattern over the lifecycle. Fat-free mass and physical performance generally peak in early adulthood. Here, evidence for a relation between physical activity...

Westerterp K
Eur J Clin Nutr
. 2016 Dec;
71(3):340-344.
PMID: 27901037
Energy expenditure is determined by body size and body composition and by food intake and physical activity. Body size and body composition are the determinants of resting energy expenditure. Higher...

Gielen M, Westerterp-Plantenga M, Bouwman F, Joosen A, Vlietinck R, Derom C, et al.
Genes Nutr
. 2014 Jul;
9(4):415.
PMID: 24996771
Twin studies with objective measurements suggest habitual physical activity (HPA) are modestly to highly heritable, depending on age. We aimed to confirm or refute this finding and identify relevant genetic...

Valenti G, Camps S, Verhoef S, Bonomi A, Westerterp K
Int J Obes (Lond)
. 2013 Oct;
38(7):1011-4.
PMID: 24166066
Background: Free-living physical activity can be assessed with an accelerometer to estimate energy expenditure but its validity in overweight and obese subjects remains unknown. Objective: Here, we validated published prediction...

Plasqui G, Bonomi A, Westerterp K
Obes Rev
. 2013 Feb;
14(6):451-62.
PMID: 23398786
The field of application of accelerometry is diverse and ever expanding. Because by definition all physical activities lead to energy expenditure, the doubly labelled water (DLW) method as gold standard...

Westerterp K
Eur J Clin Nutr
. 2012 Dec;
67(5):443-5.
PMID: 23232582
Weight changes in response to a change in energy intake are smaller than calculated from the excess or deficit of energy intake. Digestion efficiency is not affected by intake level...

Kinnunen H, Tanskanen M, Kyrolainen H, Westerterp K
Physiol Meas
. 2012 Nov;
33(11):1841-54.
PMID: 23110981
We assessed the ability of the Polar activity recorder (AR) to measure energy expenditure (EE) during military training. Twenty-four voluntary male conscripts participated in the study and wore an AR...

Heitmann B, Westerterp K, Loos R, Sorensen T, ODea K, McLean P, et al.
Obes Rev
. 2012 May;
13(10):910-22.
PMID: 22642554
The 9th Stock Conference acknowledged the complex background of genetic, cultural, environmental and evolutionary factors of obesity. Gene-environment interactions underlie the flexibility in body-weight and body-fat regulation, illustrated by the...

Bonomi A, Westerterp K
Int J Obes (Lond)
. 2011 May;
36(2):167-77.
PMID: 21587199
Obesity represents a strong risk factor for developing chronic diseases. Strategies for disease prevention often promote lifestyle changes encouraging participation in physical activity. However, determining what amount of physical activity...

Int J Obes (Lond)
. 2010 Nov;
35(8):1124-30.
PMID: 21102553
Background: Air-displacement plethysmography (ADP) may be a valid and practical technique to assess body composition in a clinical setting. Objective: This study aimed to assess longitudinal changes in body composition...
