Chez l'adulte en bonne santé, le bilan d'énergie cumulé sur une semaine est maintenu en équilibre grâce à des mécanismes régulateurs qui permettent de disposer des réserves à peu près constantes (homéostasie énergétique). Le poids et la composition corporelle sont donc relativement stables autour d'une certaine valeur dite «valeur de consigne» ou «set point». Différents facteurs peuvent modifier cette valeur, tels que les caractéristiques génétiques individuelles et chez un individu donné, l'âge, le statut hormonal, l'environnement, les contraintes psychologiques ou sociales. 1, record 1, French, - valeur%20de%20consigne
