Energy Expenditure And Nutrient Adequacy Of Institutionalized Female Adolescents
ABSTRACT
The study was carried out to
determine the Energy Intake (E.!) and Energy Expenditure (E.E) of 60 female
students in a boarding school in Umuahia. The students used for the study were
aged 10-15 years. The study was carried out for 3 days, 2 week days and one
weekend day. Energy expenditure was determined by factorial method and food
intake by weighed inventory. Body composition was determined by anthropometry.
The subjects mean daily energy intake was found to be 2342. 71 ± 313.58 kcal/d
while mean energy expenditure was 2218± 352.2 kcal. The percentage contribution
of carbohydrate, protein and fat to energy intake were 67.1%,11.98%., 20.9%
respectively. The mean values for height, weight and arm circumference obtained
were 148.28 ± 18.91 cm, 44.32 ± 7.57kg, 21.98 ± 1.2cm respectively. Values of
Body composition parameters studied include Body fat 15.01 ± 3.63kg, Lean Body
Mass (LBM) 29.75 ± 3.86kg and Body Mass Index (BMI) 19.79 ±2.l5kglm2 . The
results showed that the subject met their energy requirement.
