Metabolic rate analysis of healthy preterm and full-term infants during the first weeks of life
American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 10/20/09

Bauer J et al. – Resting energy expenditure (REE) values increased in all gestational age groups from the first week to 5–6 wk of postnatal age, with the most pronounced increase in the smallest infants (+140%) and the smallest increase in the full–term neonates (+47%). Univariate calculations showed that for each postnatal week, REE increased by 6.93–9.64 kcal · kg–1 · d–1 with each additional kcal administered, for an average increase of 0.701 kcal, and increased by 1.78 kcal for each 1 g gain in weight. Postnatal age was the strongest predictor to influence REE. This study provides comprehensive data on longitudinally determined REE values of healthy premature and full–term infants. Results may serve as a basis for comparative studies that address various disease states as well as different nutritional protocols.
