TI  - Marginal malnutrition in school-aged Colombian boys: metabolic rate and estimated 
      daily energy expenditure.
PG  - 113-26
AB  - Total daily energy expenditure (TDEE) and energy expenditure in activity (EAc) 
      were estimated in 114 free-ranging, nutritionally normal, and undernourished boys 
      6-16 yr of age by measuring basal and resting metabolic rates, average daily 
      heart rate while awake, and oxygen consumption and heart rate during exercise on 
      a treadmill. Mean daily heart rates were in the range of exercising heart rates 
      and gave reasonable estimates of TDEE and EAc. TDEE increased with age (p less 
      than 0.001) and was reduced in undernourished boys (p = 0.011). Results indicate 
      that nutritional group differences in TDEE were due to differences in body size. 
      EAc increased with age but did not show significant differences between 
      nutritional groups, indicating that in the marginal malnutrition of school-aged 
      children, reduced growth and associated economy of energy expenditure in 
      locomotion is sufficient physiological adaptation. Peer pressure in school and 
      play activities may interfere with the protective mechanism of reduced activity.
