N2 - The objective of the present study was to compare resting energy expenditure (REE) calculated by different predictive equations (McDuffie, Derumeaux, Tverskaya, Schofield, FAO/WHO/UNU, Harris-Benedict and Lazzer-Sartorio) to REE measured in severely obese Caucasian children and adolescents. Two hundred and eighty-seven obese children and adolescents (121 males, 166 females, mean age: 14.5 yr, mean body mass index (BMI) z-score: 3.3) participated in this study. REE was measured (MREE) by indirect calorimetry and body composition by bioelectrical impedance analysis. The FAO/WHO/UNU equations showed the lowest mean difference between predicted resting energy expenditure (PREE) and MREE (+0.2%, p=ns), but the higher SD (±1.16 MJ) and the PREE were accurate in 26% of subjects. The Tverskaya, Derumeaux and Harris-Benedict equations significantly underestimated REE in all children and adolescents (-7.6, -4.1. and -2.4%, respectively, p
