Table 1.
Age, weight, height and energy expenditure of the study participants (n = 38).
| Variables | Mean ± SD | Range |
|---|---|---|
| Age (years) | 5.5 ± 0.1 | 5.2–5.7 |
| Weight (kg) | 20.6 ± 4.3 | 14.9–35.8 |
| Height (cm) | 114 ± 5 | 105–126 |
| BMI (kg/m2) | 15.6 ± 2.3 | 13.3–25.6 |
| TEE (kJ/24 h) | 6070 ± 690 | 4910–7700 |
| EI (kJ/24 h) 1,3 | 4670 ± 1430 | 1810–7480 |
| EI (kJ/24 h) 2 | 6025 ± 665 | 4515–7530 |
SD, standard deviation; BMI, body mass index; TEE, total energy expenditure measured via doubly labelled water; BW, body weight; EI, energy intake. 1 EI assessed using KidMeal-Q; 2 EI assessed using 24 h dietary recalls; 3 Significantly lower than TEE as well as EI from 24 h dietary recalls (both p < 0.001).
