The few studies analyzing Resting Energy Expenditure (REE) in GD involved mainly untreated patients and supported a hypermetabolic condition possibly due to the associated inflammatory state. Definitive conclusions could not be drawn also because of the heterogeneity and the small size of the samples investigated. In order to expand current knowledge concerning, in particular the condition of patients under Enzyme Replacement Therapy (ERT), we evaluated the nutritional status of a relatively large sample of GD patients followed at Federico II University Hospital in Naples, Italy. (2) Methods: The study, having a cross-sectional design and involving 26 patients on ERT, included routine biochemical analyses, bioelectrical impedance analysis, indirect calorimetry, and administration of food frequency and physical activity questionnaires. The results in GD patients were compared with those from an appropriate control group. (3) Results: GD patients had normal biochemical parameters in 80% of cases, except for HDL-cholesterol, consumed a hyper-lipidic diet, and had a 60% prevalence of overweight\/obesity. Body composition did not differ between patients and controls; however, measured REE was significantly lower than predicted and was reduced in comparison with the healthy controls. (4) Conclusions: This study provided novel elements to the present knowledge about REE and the nutritional status of GD patients under ERT. Its results warrant confirmation in even larger GD population samples and a more in-depth investigation of the long-term effects of treatment superimposed on the basic pathophysiological disease condition.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nu14153180","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,3]],"date-time":"2022-08-03T23:33:01Z","timestamp":1659569581000},"page":"3180","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Evaluation of the Nutritional Status of Gaucher Disease Type I Patients under Enzyme Replacement Treatment"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2205-5446","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Paola","family":"Iaccarino Idelson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Medicine and Surgery, Federico II University of Naples Medical School, 80131 Naples, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3241-1897","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Enza","family":"Speranza","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Medicine and Surgery, Federico II University of Naples Medical School, 80131 Naples, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Maurizio","family":"Marra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Medicine and Surgery, Federico II University of Naples Medical School, 80131 Naples, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4224-7821","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fabrizio","family":"Pasanisi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Medicine and Surgery, Federico II University of Naples Medical School, 80131 Naples, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rosa","family":"Sammarco","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Medicine and Surgery, Federico II University of Naples Medical School, 80131 Naples, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ferruccio","family":"Galletti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Medicine and Surgery, Federico II University of Naples Medical School, 80131 Naples, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Pasquale","family":"Strazzullo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Medicine and Surgery, Federico II University of Naples Medical School, 80131 Naples, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4660-821X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Antonio","family":"Barbato","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Medicine and Surgery, Federico II University of Naples Medical School, 80131 Naples, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1263","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(08)61522-6","article-title":"Phenotype, Diagnosis, and Treatment of Gaucher\u2019s Disease","volume":"372","author":"Grabowski","year":"2008","journal-title":"Lancet"},{"doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Stirnemann, J.\u00d4., Belmatoug, N., Camou, F., Serratrice, C., Froissart, R., Caillaud, C., Levade, T., Astudillo, L., Serratrice, J., and Brassier, A.
