Over one-quarter of all American children are overweight or obese. This study was designed to determine why some children become obese and others do not. The major aims of the study are: 1. To determine if children who become obese have lower energy expenditures (adjusted for fat free mass) in comparison with children who do not become obese. 2. To determine energy requirements for children based on their total energy expenditure. The study included measurement of the following variables: total energy expenditure using doubly labeled water, resting metabolic rate, body composition using dual energy x-ray absorptiometry, anthropometry, and dietary intake using the multiple-pass 24-hour recall. The Vermont portion of the study is part of a larger longitudinal cohort study based at the University of Alabama in Birmingham. All Vermont children have been tested. The data are now being compiled and prepared for statistical analysis. The Vermont data will be combined with data from both Caucasian and African-American children residing in Birmingham, Alabama and the surrounding area.

超过四分之一的美国儿童超重或肥胖。 这项研究旨在确定为什么有些孩子会变得肥胖，而另一些则不会。本研究的主要目的是：1. 确定肥胖儿童的能量消耗是否低于未肥胖儿童（根据无脂肪质量调整）。2. 根据儿童的总能量消耗来确定他们的能量需求。该研究包括以下变量的测量：使用双标记水的总能量消耗，静息代谢率，使用双能X射线吸收测定法的身体组成，人体测量法和使用多次通过24小时回忆的饮食摄入量。 这项研究的佛蒙特州部分是伯明翰亚拉巴马大学一项更大的纵向队列研究的一部分。 所有佛蒙特州的孩子都接受了测试。 目前正在对数据进行汇编和准备，以便进行统计分析。 佛蒙特州的数据将与居住在伯明翰、亚拉巴马及周边地区的白人和非洲裔美国儿童的数据相结合。
