María José Martínez Sopena, María Paz Redondo del Río, Margarita Alonso Franch
We present an energy expenditure review, its components and mechanisms of evaluation focused on infantile and juvenile obesity. The initial theorical part is oriented to the correct comprehension of the study made in an population of obese children and adolescents (range 8-18 years) that we describe in the second part. Initial nutritional assessment included anthropometrics and bioimpedance. The resting energy expenditure (REE) was measured by indirect calorimetry and by the classics equations for the estimation of energy expenditure, giving rise to the total energy expenditure value (TEE) taking into account the physical activity (PA). We perform a multivariate analysis of the caloric intake estimated by, a three non consecutive day including a holiday, intake surveys the respiratory quotient (RQ) and the substrate oxidation.
