| All patients exhibit severe cachexia. Monitoring took place over a 7 day period. The Activity Score is a dimensionless value calculated by integrating the recorded values of sedentary time (sitting/lying), quiet standing time and stepping time into a single value which reflects the typical energy cost of these activities. An Activity Score of 1.4-1.5 is typical of a sedentary working person. It can be seen that only two of the patients approach this minimum level of activity. The minimum Activity Score attainable is 1.25. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
