ABSTRACT Energy Expenditure; Systemic Lupus Erythematosus This study aimed to characterize energy expen- diture patterns using the tri-axial accelerometer 1. INTRODUCTION and to identify the association of energy exp- enditure with clinical parameters in patients with Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic auto- systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Estimates immune disease characterized not only by the activation of energy expenditures represented by total ac- of T and polyclonal B cells but also by a wide variety of tivity calorie (TA), physical activity calorie (PA), immunologic abnormalities [1]. Previous studies demo- total activity calorie per body weight (TABW), nstrate that SLE patients present with limitations in ex- and physical activity calorie per body weight ercise capacity and reduced quality of life due to various (PABW) of 49 female SLE patients were ass- clinical complaints [2].
