TI  - Marginal malnutrition in school-aged Colombian girls: dietary intervention and 
      daily energy expenditure.
PG  - 93-104
AB  - Total daily energy expenditure (TDEE) and energy expended in activity (EAc) were 
      estimated in 24 control (nutritionally normal) and 20 marginally undernourished 
      girls, 8-11 years of age, before and after a dietary intervention which supplied 
      an average of approximately 600 kcal/d only to the undernourished subjects. In 
      the latter, the velocity of weight gain was significantly increased after dietary 
      supplementation as were skinfold thickness and mid-arm circumference. EAc was not 
      diminished in the undernourished subjects nor did it increase following dietary 
      supplementation. It is suggested that in school-aged children, peer pressure to 
      keep up with activities in school and play may attenuate the reduced activity 
      sometimes seen in preschool and adult subjects as a response to restricted energy 
      intake. Instead, at marginal levels of malnutrition, reduced growth in the 
      school-aged group may be the first level of response with reduced physical 
      activity seen only at more severe levels of nutritional deprivation.
