Metabolic analysis involves the comprehensive evaluation of an individual’s metabolism on various levels, providing essential insights for treatment planning and preventive measures.
There are different methods to conduct a metabolic analysis, including examinations of blood, saliva, exhaled air, or body resistance. Each type of analysis has its advantages and disadvantages, necessitating a careful consideration before application.
A correctly conducted metabolic analysis provides precise information about the following parameters:
- Exhaled amounts of oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2)
- Actual utilization of inhaled oxygen from the ambient air
- Combustion and utilization of sugar and fat in the diet
- Daily energy requirements
