Low variability of resting metabolic rate among early, middle, and late achievers of steady state suggests a shortened indirect calorimetry protocol for young children
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.
