FIGURE 4.

Estimates of TDEE for AA and white women using doubly labeled water and a published maternal energy intake model (19). Data are presented as means ± SEMs, by method of TDEE measurement and race. Estimates for EE are derived from the current maternal energy intake model (Model, grey bars) and from the double isotope dilution method, adjusted for body mass and body composition (Adjusted, black bars). The horizontal lines indicate the overall mean for AA (n = 32) and white (n = 32) women. *Statistically significant difference. Comparisons between AA and white women were analyzed if the interaction term Method × Race was confirmed to be statistically significant (P < 0.05). AA, African American; EE, energy expenditure; TDEE, total daily energy expenditure.
