Introduction: The knowledge of basal energy expenditure measurement is essential for prescription of nutritional interventions in children and adolescents with obesity, in order to improve their nutritional status. Aim: Assess the accuracy prediction of diverse equations to estimate basal energy expenditure in comparison with indirect in children with overweight and obesity in Morelos, Mexico.
Material and methods: Cross-sectional study in children and adolescents with overweight or obesity. Body weight, height and body composition by air-displacement plethysmography were measured. Basal energy expenditure was measured by indirect calorimetry and predicted by diverse equations; FAO/OMS, Harris Benedict, Tverskaya, Schofield, Mifflin St Jeor and Lazzer.
Results: Eighty four patients of 11.3 ± 3.2 years old were included. By BMI, 20% were overweight and 80% obese. No statistical differences were observed in body composition parameters between boys and girls. Harris Benedict and Mifflin St. Jeor equations show the best accuracy and agreement.
Conclusion: Equations did not accurately predict basal energy expenditure in the study sample. It is needed to develop specific equations particularly in obese population.
