Effects of familial predisposition to obesity on energy expenditure in multiethnic prepubertal girls.

The American journal of clinical nutrition - 1 Apr 2000

Treuth M S, Butte N F, Wong W W

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The prevalence of childhood obesity is increasing and the causes of this are unknown. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to determine whether energy expenditure (EE), measured by 24-h calorimetry and doubly labeled water, differed in normal-weight-for-height, multiethnic prepubertal girls with or without a familial predisposition to obesity. DESIGN: Normal-weight, prepubertal white (n = 52),...
