Book excerpt: Abstract: A report of a 1981 workshop by the International Union of Nutritional Sciences Committee on Protein-Energy Requirements reviews the current state of world research findings on protein-energy requirements. The 35 technical papers discuss research studies conducted on a variety of sub-populations and ethnic groups. The papers are organized under 6 principal categories: (1) general methodological studies for assessing human protein-energy requirements; (2) studies assessing adult protein requirements using (a) the standard nitrogen balance protocol, (b) long-term studies, and (c) large sample populations; (3) energy expenditure studies; (4) studies on protein-energy interactions; (5) nitrogen balance studies in children; and (6) ancillary studies concerning miscellaneous aspects that influence protein-energy requirements. Two expert reports are appended: (1) a 1977 FAO/WHO report on energy intake and protein requirements, and (2) a 1980 report reviewing collaborative research on protein requirements and energy intake.
