This study aimed to evaluate the agreement of commonly reported energy metabolism measurements obtained from two different whole-room indirect calorimeters (WRICs). Nine healthy adult volunteers were evaluated over four separate 24-hour periods in a crossover design, twice in two different WRICs of different sizes, each operated according to the Room Indirect Calorimetry Operating and Reporting Standards published in 2020. The reproducibility of repeated measurements was quantified by the coefficient of variation (CV) and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). The CVs between and within each WRIC for average 24-hour carbon dioxide production rate (VCO2 ) and oxygen consumption rate (VO2 ), 24-hour energy expenditure (EE), and respiratory exchange ratio ranged from 1.5% to 3.6%, whereas sleep EE ranged from 3.1% to 5.5%. CVs for macronutrient oxidation rates and spontaneous physical activity were higher, ranging from 9.2% to 38.1%. ICCs of VCO2 , VO2 , 24-hour EE, and energy expenditure at zero activity were >0.95, indicating excellent reproducibility, whereas ICCs for lipid oxidation, awake and fed thermogenesis, and sleep EE ranged from 0.55 to 0.92, indicating moderate to high reproducibility. ICCs for respiratory exchange ratio and carbohydrate and protein oxidation rates were lower (<0.70). Spontaneous physical activity showed high reproducibility within chambers (ICC = 0.88) but differed substantially between chambers (ICC = 0.23). Cross-chamber reproducibility is high for common outcome measures assessed in the respiratory chamber. The results support efforts to promote standardization across WRICs to allow multicenter studies.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010084 Oxidation-Reduction A chemical reaction in which an electron is transferred from one molecule to another. The electron-donating molecule is the reducing agent or reductant; the electron-accepting molecule is the oxidizing agent or oxidant. Reducing and oxidizing agents function as conjugate reductant-oxidant pairs or redox pairs (Lehninger, Principles of Biochemistry, 1982, p471). Redox,Oxidation Reduction
D010101 Oxygen Consumption The rate at which oxygen is used by a tissue; microliters of oxygen STPD used per milligram of tissue per hour; the rate at which oxygen enters the blood from alveolar gas, equal in the steady state to the consumption of oxygen by tissue metabolism throughout the body. (Stedman, 25th ed, p346) Consumption, Oxygen,Consumptions, Oxygen,Oxygen Consumptions
D002153 Calorimetry, Indirect Calculation of the energy expenditure in the form of heat production of the whole body or individual organs based on respiratory gas exchange.

D015203 Reproducibility of Results The statistical reproducibility of measurements (often in a clinical context), including the testing of instrumentation or techniques to obtain reproducible results. The concept includes reproducibility of physiological measurements, which may be used to develop rules to assess probability or prognosis, or response to a stimulus; reproducibility of occurrence of a condition; and reproducibility of experimental results.

D018592 Cross-Over Studies Studies comparing two or more treatments or interventions in which the subjects or patients, upon completion of the course of one treatment, are switched to another. In the case of two treatments, A and B, half the subjects are randomly allocated to receive these in the order A, B and half to receive them in the order B, A. A criticism of this design is that effects of the first treatment may carry over into the period when the second is given.
