In conclusion, this study showed that there is a wide variation in the accuracy of predictive equations for REE in overweight and obese adolescents. Whenever available, the use of indirect calorimetry is the best option in overweight and obese adolescents; however, 3 of 4 adolescents were accurately predicted by the Molnar equation based on weight, height, age, and sex. Assessment of FFM does not improve REE predictions in overweight and obese adolescents.
