Low variability of resting metabolic rate among early, middle, and late achievers of steady state suggests a shortened indirect calorimetry protocol for young children
Objective
Standardized protocols for measuring resting metabolic rate (RMR; kJ/d) in children, using indirect calorimetry (IC), are lacking. In this cross-sectional, observational study we aimed to determine, in a diverse group of children, variability of RMR-associated measurements after achieving steady state (SS) with a shortened IC protocol. RMR of 120 conveniently sampled healthy Southern African children 6 to 9 years (60 black [32 girls], 60 white [37 girls]) was measured via IC (Quark RMR, Cosmed).
Methods
Measurements, without a prior rest period, continued for 15 to 20 minutes. Participants were categorized according to time when machine-generated SS was achieved: early achievers <5 minutes, middle achievers ≥5 and <10 minutes, late achievers ≥10 minutes. Readings before achieving SS were eliminated. Intra-individual percentage coefficient of variation of the mean RMR (kJ/d), VCO2 (mL/min), VO2 (mL/min), and respiratory quotient (VCO2/VO2) was determined for each SS category for the remaining measurement period.
Results
For 113 (94%) participants, usable data were obtained. Mean (min; max) time to reach SS was 5.7 minutes (0.0; 16.2). Nineteen (17%; 6 black; 10 girls [3 black]) did not achieve SS, with no significant difference between sexes (P = 0.290). Significantly (P = 0.048) more white (12%) than black (5%) participants did not achieve SS. Forty-seven (50%) were early, 29 (31%) middle, and 18 (19%) late achievers of SS. There was no significant difference in the sample distribution of SS categories between sexes (P = 0.955) and race/ethnicity categories (P = 9.758).
Conclusions
After achieving SS, percentage coefficient of variation for all RMR-related variables remained ≤2.89%, well below the recommended <5% to 10% for adults. A shortened IC protocol can be considered for diverse groups of 6- to 9-year-old children.
期刊介绍:
Nutrition has an open access mirror journal Nutrition: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.
Founded by Michael M. Meguid in the early 1980''s, Nutrition presents advances in nutrition research and science, informs its readers on new and advancing technologies and data in clinical nutrition practice, encourages the application of outcomes research and meta-analyses to problems in patient-related nutrition; and seeks to help clarify and set the research, policy and practice agenda for nutrition science to enhance human well-being in the years ahead.
