Energy Balance Teens: A Measurement Error Approach to Estimating Energy Balance in Free-Living Adolescents

Completed

Conditions studied: Childhood Obesity

In brief

There is a critical need to develop an affordable, valid, and reliable techniques to assess free-living energy expenditure (EE), energy storage (ES), and energy intake (EI). The purpose of this project is to develop and evaluate statistical procedures to model, quantify and adjust for the measurement error of and consumer (e.g., Garmin) activity monitors and body composition scales to estimate EE and ES, and use the 'calibrated' values to estimate free-living EI.
