Abstract
BACKGROUND: To study the predictive factors of resting energy expenditure (REE) and evaluate the accuracy of predicted equations with indirect calorimeter (IC) in Chinese school-age children, particularly for the obese population. METHODS: Recruited children were from the department of child healthcare in Nanjing children's hospital during July 2014-September 2015. Anthropometric parameters and body composition were measured by bioelectrical impedance. Measured REE was assessed by IC. Predicted REE was estimated using ten published equations. RESULTS: 248 children aged 7-13 years were recruited, including 148 obese [body mass index standard deviation score (BMISDS) = 2.48 ± 0.91] and 100 non-obese (BMISDS = - 0.96 ± 1.08). The unit mass of REE (REE/kg) in obese group (29.06 ± 5.74) was lower than that in non-obese group (37.51 ± 6.56). The stepwise regression showed that age, BMISDS and fat-free mass (FFM) had a major impact on REE/kg as the regression equation: Y = 54.41 - 1.36 × X1 - 2.25 × X2 - 0.16 × X3 (Y REE/kg, X1 age, X2 BMISDS, X3 FFM; R = 0.633, R2 = 0.401, P < 0.01). The accuracy of predicted REE in obese subjects was 62.16% by the new predictive equations. CONCLUSIONS: The REE/kg in obese children was lower and closely correlated with age, BMISDS and FFM. It is necessary to validate the new predictive equation in a larger sample to estimate energy requirements, particularly for children with obesity.
