Resumo

Introdução: A taxa metabólica basal (TMB) é a maior componente do gasto energético diário e é essencial para a manutenção do equilíbrio energético durante o crescimento infantil.

Objectivo: Este estudo avaliou a concordância entre a análise de impedância bioeléctrica (BIA) e equações preditivas comuns para estimar a TMB em crianças palestinianas dos 6 aos 9 anos de idade e teve como objectivo desenvolver uma equação específica para a população, baseada na massa livre de gordura (MLG).

Metodologia: Foram selecionadas aleatoriamente 1.100 crianças em 11 províncias da Cisjordânia. Foram realizadas medições antropométricas e de TMB, e as estimativas obtidas através de equações preditivas foram comparadas com os valores obtidos pela BIA.

Resultados: A TMB média foi de 1117,65 kcal/dia. A equação da OMS (1985) apresentou a maior concordância com a BIA. A massa livre de gordura (MLG) foi um forte preditor independente da taxa metabólica de repouso (TMR), resultando na seguinte equação:

TMR (kcal/dia) = 376.015 + (34.120 × MLG) (R² = 0,88).

Discussão: Os valores de crescimento e TMR estavam dentro do intervalo normal, embora as diferenças em relação aos padrões internacionais provavelmente reflitam fatores genéticos, nutricionais, socioeconómicos, climáticos e de atividade física.

Conclusão: A equação baseada na MLG oferece uma ferramenta prática para monitorizar o crescimento, orientar a nutrição e elaborar programas de atividade física para prevenir a obesidade e doenças relacionadas em crianças palestinianas.
