Energy metabolism and body composition Building 46, Room 226

In the "Energy Metabolism and Body Composition" laboratory, various parameters of individual nutritional status are determined using anthropometric measurements, body composition and energy metabolism analyses. Together with the laboratory chemical parameters determined in the nutritional physiology laboratory, conclusions can be drawn about the type and amount of food consumed, energy and nutrient requirements and health status. The tests are carried out, analysed, discussed and documented according to instructions.
