aAverage value used in this study from sample (S1) – 18+ weight from bis 67 kg and thought to be comparable with the average weight from this study (65.99 kg), therefore no corrections were necessary. bValues obtained from47 based on average weights per age (4–18) on the 50th centile line. c Values obtained from46 based on average weights per age (0–4) on the 50th centile line. dCalorie values from Table 1.
