Summary

Assess the relationship between body composition, metabolism, and dietary needs in people with spinal cord injury compared to their healthy controls that are age and sex matched.

Detailed description

This study will quantify body composition and resting metabolic rate and then compare these parameters to results from a nutritional analysis. Participants will have two study visits that include physical exam, blood draws, resting metabolic rate, Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) scan, and dietary assessments.
