Article Synopsis
- Determining energy requirements is crucial for the growth and nutrition of children, and there are various predictive equations to estimate their energy expenditure at rest.
- A systematic review identified 39 studies with predictive formulas for energy expenditure in healthy children, those with overweight or obesity, and those with specific clinical conditions that provide insights into which equations are most effective.
- The review compiles these equations, helping clinicians effectively evaluate and apply them in practice for pediatric patients across different health statuses.
