Validation of predictive equations for resting energy expenditure in obese adolescents

H. Hofsteenge, Geesje; Chinapaw, Mai J.M.; A. Delemarre-van de Waal, Henriette; Weijs, Peter JM (Lectoraat Voeding En Beweging)

Background: When the resting energy expenditure (REE) of overweight and obese adolescents cannot be measured by indirect calorimetry, it has to be predicted with an equation. Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the validity of published equations for REE compared with indirect calorimetry …
