Energy Expenditure and Body Composition of Infants and Young Children (6-24 Months Old) in Asia

Body Composition Clinical Trial

Official title:
Determination of Energy Expenditure and Body Composition of Infants and Young Children (6-24 Months Old) in Asia Using the Doubly-Labelled Water (DLW) Technique

Clinical Trial Summary

This project is a collaboration between International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), FAO Regional Office for Asia and The Pacific, and Mahidol University, Thailand to carry out the study on doubly-labeled water for assessment of total energy expenditure and body composition among infants and young children aged 6-23 months old. Thailand conducted a longitudinal study with participation from 4 other countries, namely, Pakistan, Philippines, Sri Lanka and Vietnam, in undertaking the same assessments in a cross-sectional design.

Clinical Trial Description

The current international recommendations on energy requirements for children aged 6-24 months were established based on data from the Western populations. More human data of healthy children from the developing countries where the living conditions may not be as favourable for child growth and development would be needed to ascertain the validity of the global recommendation. The role of the doubly-labelled water (DLW) technique in measuring total daily energy expenditure to derive energy requirements for humans was also highlighted. Low and middle income countries in Asian countries have undergone the nutrition transition and malnutrition on both ends of the spectrum emerge as significant nutrition challenges during this critical period of growth. Unfortunately, data on body composition, i.e., the relative amounts of fat and lean or fat-free tissue which constitutes quality normal growth beyond anthropometric measurements are scarce. These data will also be needed to guide the infant and young child feeding (IYCF) recommendations for good nutrition and health and to prevent all forms of malnutrition in the region. This project addressed the need to fill the information gap for the region, and potentially be included for making revision on energy requirement recommendations for infants and young children (IYC) for Asia and beyond. Building on the previous technical cooperation between institutions in Southeast and South Asia with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) on stable isotopic techniques for health and nutrition well-being, this project is a collaboration between IAEA, FAO Regional Office for Asia and The Pacific, and Mahidol University, Thailand to carry out the study on doubly-labeled water for assessment of total energy expenditure and body composition among infants and young children aged 6-23 months old. Thailand conducted a longitudinal study with participation from 4 other countries, namely, Pakistan, Philippines, Sri Lanka and Vietnam, in undertaking the same assessments in a cross-sectional design. ;
