Trial Outcomes & Findings for Females, Aging, Metabolism, and Exercise (NCT NCT01712230)

NCT ID: NCT01712230

Last Updated: 2019-11-22

Results Overview

PAEE will be calculated as: TEE - REE - TEF, where TEE is total energy expenditure (measured by doubly-labeled water), REE is resting energy expenditure (measured by indirect calorimetry), and TEF is the thermic effect of feeding (estimated using a constant).

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Change from baseline to 6 months

Population: Placebo: One participant dropped because they got a new job. GnRH agonist+exercise: One participant dropped because of a health problem unrelated to the study. Results from five participants were not included in the analysis because they did not meet the exercise compliance threshold (completed \<70% of exercise sessions).

PAEE will be calculated as: TEE - REE - TEF, where TEE is total energy expenditure (measured by doubly-labeled water), REE is resting energy expenditure (measured by indirect calorimetry), and TEF is the thermic effect of feeding (estimated using a constant).
