OBJECTIVE: To measure activity related energy expenditure in Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) corrected for body size. SUBJECTS: 17 PWS subjects (10 females, seven males, age 7.5-19.8 y) and 17 obese controls, matched for gender and bone age. MEASUREMENTS: Basal metabolic rate (BMR) was measured by venti...
