Dietary Requirements, Intake, and
Adequacy Among Adolescents
 Energy needs of adolescents are influenced
by activity level, basal metabolic rate, and increased
requirements to support pubertal growth and
development. Basal metabolic rate (BMR) is closely
associated with the amount of lean body mass of
individuals. Because adolescent males experience
greater increases in height, weight, and lean body
mass, they have significantly higher caloric
requirements than do females. The estimated energy
requirements for adolescents are listed in Table. Due
to the great variability in the timing of growth and
maturation among adolescents, the determination of
energy needs based on velocity of growth(s) will
provide(v) a better estimate than one based on
chronological age.
 The DRI for energy is based by the assumption of a light to moderate
activity level, therefore adolescents who participate in sports those who are in
training to increase muscle mass, and those who are more active than average may
require additional energy to meet their individual needs. Conversely, adolescents
who are not physically active or those who have chronic or handicapping
conditions that limit their mobility will require less energy to meet their needs.
Physical activity has been found to decline throughout adolescence therefore
caloric needs of older adolescents who have completed puberty and are less active
may be significantly lower than those of younger, active, still growing adolescents.
Physical growth and development during
puberty is sensitive to energy and nutrient
intakes. When energy intakes fail to meet
requirements, linear growth may be retarded
and sexual maturation may be delayed. The
standard way to gauge adequacy of energy
intake is to assess height, weight, and body
composition (predicate) . If, over time, height
as well as weight for height continuously fall
within the same percentiles when plotted on
gender appropriate National Center for
Health Statistics growth charts, it can be
assumed that energy needs are being met.
If percentile of weight for height
measurements begin to fall or rise, a thorough
assessment of energy intake should be done,
and adjustments in energy intake should be
made accordingly. The (determiner) use (noun
head) of body fat measurements, such as
triceps and subscapular skinfold
measurements, can provide useful information
when weight for height does not remain
consistent. We remember that transient
increases and decreases in body fat are
commonly noted among adolescents during
puberty due to the variation in timing of
increases in height, weight, and accumulation
of body fat and lean body mass.
DESCRIPTION
Energy needs of adolescents(s) are influenced(v2) by
activity level, (passive voice) basal metabolic rate, and
increased requirements to support pubertal growth and
development (Simple Sentence). Basal metabolic rate
(BMR)(s) is(v) closely associated with the amount of
lean body mass of individuals (Simple sentence).
Because adolescent males experience greater increases
in height, weight, and lean body mass, they have
significantly higher caloric requirements than do
females (Complex Sentence-Active Clause-Past
Tense). The estimated (Future continue Tense) energy
requirements for adolescents are listed in Table. Due to
the great variability in the timing of growth and
maturation among adolescents, the determination of
energy needs based on velocity of growth(s) will
provide(v) a better estimate than one based on
chronological age (Noun Clause).
The DRI for energy is based (passive voice) by the assumption of a light to
moderate activity level, therefore adolescents who participate in sports
(compound sentence with a conjunctive adverb), those who are in training to
increase muscle mass, and those who are more active than average may require
additional energy to meet their individual needs. Conversely, adolescents who are
not physically active or those who have chronic or handicapping conditions that
limit their mobility will require less energy to meet their needs. Physical activity
has been found to decline throughout adolescence (Past Tense), therefore caloric
needs (Compound Sentence with a conjunctive adverb) of older adolescents
who have completed puberty and are less active may be significantly lower than
those of younger, active, still growing adolescents.
Physical growth and development during
puberty is sensitive to energy and nutrient
intakes (Simple sentences with adjective).
When energy intakes fail to meet
requirements, linear growth may be retarded
and sexual maturation may be delayed
(Adverb Clause). The standard way to gauge
adequacy of energy intake (s) is (v) to assess
height, weight, and body composition
(predicate) (Simple Sentence). If, over time,
height as well as weight for height
continuously fall within the same percentiles
when plotted on gender appropriate National
Center for Health Statistics growth charts, it
can be assumed that energy needs are being
met. (Noun Phrase)
If percentile of weight for height
measurements begin to fall or rise, a thorough
assessment of energy intake should be done,
and adjustments in energy intake should be
made accordingly (Verb Clause). The
(determiner) use (noun head) of body fat
measurements, such as triceps and
subscapular skinfold measurements
(Prepositional Phrases) (Noun Phrase), can
provide useful information when weight for
height does not remain consistent. We
remember that transient increases and
decreases (Noun Phrase) in body fat are
commonly noted among adolescents during
puberty due to the variation in timing of
increases in height, weight, and accumulation
of body fat and lean body mass.
