| Abstract |
New estimates for the energy requirements of young children have been derived by combining the energy deposited during growth with measurements of total energy expenditure obtained by use of the new doubly-labelled water (2H2(18)O) method in 355 healthy infants aged 0-3 years. The resultant values of 110, 95, 85, 83, 83, 84, and 85 kcal/kg/day at 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 24, and 36 months, respectively, are substantially lower than current Department of Health and Social Security and FAO/WHO/UNU recommended dietary allowances. Evidence from diet surveys suggests that changes in infant feeding practices are largely responsible for the apparent reduction in energy requirements. Dietary guidelines may need to be reappraised, to avoid overfeeding of infants. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 9. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 09 October 2019.
All research outputs
#3,799,086
of 25,374,917 outputs
Outputs from The Lancet
#17,535
of 42,665 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#743
of 12,985 outputs
Outputs of similar age from The Lancet
#13
of 85 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,917 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 83rd percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 42,665 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 67.9. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 56% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 12,985 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 89% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 85 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 77% of its contemporaries.
