Basal energy expenditure in obese and normal weight schoolchildren.

摘要: . The present study was performed using indirect calorimetry to test the hypothesis of a reduction basal energy expenditure in obese prepubertal children. and control children studied were comparable regarding age, height fat-free mass (FFM). Total weight body fat percentage significantly greater Plasma insulin glucagon concentrations higher than In two groups metabolic rates (BMRs) both absolute values adjusted for FFM, age gender utilizing multiple regression analysis. most important variable predict BMR followed by age. correlated with children, also when combined. conclusion, our data do not support idea that child's obesity is maintained increased efficiency at least conditions.
