A
Correlation analysis
Causal relationships can be examined using the techniques of correlation analysis. In other words, correlation analysis estimates the likelihood that one variable being observed (such as body weight) is causally influenced by another (such as height or age). The least squares techniques of linear and nonlinear regression can be used to identify a mathematical model of the
relationship. Linear regression is used to identify a straight line relationship (y = a + bx). Nonlinear regression is used to identify curvilinear relationships
such as y = a + bx2.75.

20-25 kcal/kg
Declining plasma free thyroxine (T4) concentration is accompanied
by a reduction in basal metabolic rate (BMR; resting energy expenditure).
Resting energy expenditure (REE), also called basal metabolic rate (BMR) or resting metabolic rate (RMR), estimates the maintenance energy required to sustain the basic processes of sedentary, inactive life (including normal growth in children and the energy cost of digesting and absorbing food nutrients). The amount of dietary energy required to fulfill this function in healthy individuals may be calculated according to the Harris- Benedict equations:
Estimates of REE should be modified according to the relative proportions of bone, lean tissue and fat-free mass present (in other words, body weight alone is not an accurate predictor of basal energy expenditure). REE declines with increasing age in adults, largely as a result of decreased resting energy expenditure in the brain.

Pantothenic Acid (vitamin B5) plays a critical role in the utilization of fats and carbohydrates, in the oxidation/reduction reactions of energy production, in the manufacture of adrenal hormones and in the metabolism of red blood cells (following its conversion to coenzyme A). Good food sources of pantothenic acid include yeast, whole grains, egg yolks, organ meats (liver, heart, kidney), potatoes, peas, beans, and saltwater fish. The pantothenic acid content of foods is reduced by exposure to light, storage of milk in cartons or glass bottles, heat, evaporation, pasteurization, canning, cooking, and milling. Chronic pantothenic acid deficiency produces fatigue, nausea, and “burning feet syndrome” (numbness and shooting pains in the feet). There is no known upper safe limit of pantothenic acid intake (daily intakes of up to 10 g are safe). Large intakes may accelerate wound healing and reduce joint inflammation.

Phosphorus is involved in the regulation of energy metabolism, provides large amounts of biochemical energy in the forms of high-energy intermediates (such as adenosine triphosphate, adenosine diphosphate, guanidine triphosphate, and cyclic adenosine monophosphate), acts as the major intracellular and circulating proton buffer, is required for neurotransmission and neuromuscular transmission, is a major mineral component of bone and tooth structure, is a major mineral component of membrane phospholipids, and is required for proper kidney functioning. The bioavailability of phosphorus is reduced by concurrent ingestion of aluminum or calcium and is enhanced by concurrent ingestion of vitamin D. Caffeine may increase the urinary excretion of inorganic phosphorus. Good food sources of phosphorus include processed foods and soft drinks, foods high in protein content, cereal products, and many food additives. The phosphorus content of foods is enhanced by most techniques of food processing. Severe chronic phosphorus deficiency produces hemolytic anemia, respiratory failure, proximal myopathy, anorexia, ataxia, coma, glucose intolerance, osteomalacia, and multiple cardiac and renal dysfunction. Typically, no symptoms of phosphorus deficiency appear until plasma phosphorus concentration falls below 1.0 mg/dl. Early symptoms of mild phosphorus deficiency include irregular breathing, fatigue, numbness, weakness, weight changes, bone pain, and anorexia. Acute severe phosphorus excess may cause increased urinary excretion of calcium, shortness of breadth, irregular heartbeat, seizures and coma. Chronic ingestion of calcium and phosphorus in a ratio less than 1:2 causes hyperphosphatemia and nutritional secondary hyperparathyroidism.

Copper
Copper is a cofactor associated with a number of oxygenases and is required for the proper functioning of many metalloenzymes, including monoamine oxidase and tyrosinase. As an integral component of many proteins and enzymes, copper participates in iron metabolism and erythropoiesis, glucose metabolism, iron absorption, the formation of bone marrow, the pigmentation of hair, skin and eyes, wound healing and connective tissue repair, maintenance of the integrity of myelin, skeletal mineralization, thermal regulation, the oxidation of iron, the synthesis and cross-linking of elastin and collagen, oxidative phosphorylation, melanin formation, myelin formation, glucose homeostasis, and antioxidant protection. The bioavailability of copper is enhanced by amino acids, protein and other chelating agents and is reduced by fructose, alcoholic beverages, and zinc. Good food sources of copper include nuts, whole grains, legumes and liver meats. Chronic copper deficiency decreases immune function and increases serum total cholesterol concentration, impairs glucose tolerance, inhibits new bone formation, produces irregularities in heart beat and increases tissue susceptibility to auto- oxidation. Copper generally is non toxic; daily intakes up to 0.5 mg/kg of body weight are considered safe. In some individuals, intakes > 10 mg can produce nausea, vomiting or abdominal pain.

Iron
Iron is the most abundant micromineral in the body and its most important role is to provide, as a component of hemoglobin and myoglobin, oxygen transport within blood and muscle. As an essential enzyme cofactor, iron also facilitates electron transfer during energy metabolism and participates in a number of oxidation/reduction reactions. Depending on local conditions, iron may produce oxygen free radicals. Iron is necessary for catecholamine metabolism, neutrophil function, cell proliferation and immune defense. The bioavailability of iron is increased by the concurrent ingestion of vitamin C, dietary sugars, and amino acids. The bioavailability of iron is reduced by the concurrent ingestion of tea, cobalt, manganese or dietary fiber and by vitamin B6
deficiency. Good food sources of iron include legumes, meats, organs, and baked beans.
Iron Status is reflected in the hematocrit and plasma hemoglobin concentration. Hematocrit is a measure of the concentration of red blood cells within the blood (the proportion of blood volume consisting of red blood cells). Hematocrit and plasma hemoglobin concentration are two of the most reliable indicators of the degree of anemia or polycythemia. Serumtransferrin concentration determines the capacity of the red blood cells to carry iron (total iron-binding capacity); transferrin is formed by the liver and is responsible for transporting iron obtained from dietary sources and from the breakdown of red blood cells in the spleen. Transferrin saturation indicates relative iron reserves, as does the serum concentration of ferritin, an important iron-storage protein.

Manganese
Manganese is a cofactor associated with a large number of enzymes, including pyruvate carboxylase, acetyl CoA carboxylase and the enzymes of the tricarboxylic cycle, mitochondrial respiratory chain and nucleic acid metabolism. Manganese also participates in bone mineralization and demineralization, reproduction, and nerve cell function. The bioavailability of manganese is reduced by concurrent ingestion of calcium, phosphorus, iron or cobalt and is enhanced by concurrent ingestion of histidine and citrate. Good food sources of manganese include whole grains and cereals, nuts, beans, egg yolks, and bananas. Food preparation and processing have little effect on the manganese content of foods. Chronic manganese deficiency impairs glucose tolerance and produces beta-cell granulation in the pancreas, hypocholesterolemia, impairment of lactation, fetal retardation, and skeletal deformities. Manganese is relatively nontoxic with adverse effects (impaired iron metabolism, anorexia, insomnia and muscle pain) at intakes greater than 10 mg/day.
