title: Calculation of resting energy expenditure in obese children.
abstract: For the calculation of resting energy expenditure, which is the main part of total energy expenditure in children with low physical activity, Fusch et al. have developed an equation.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This equation might be useful for research but not in daily work with obese patients.
