Energy balance
Patients with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) have a different relationship between resting metabolic rate (RMR) and body weight compared to lean and obese controls.
Practitioners should consider the unique metabolic characteristics of PWS patients when assessing energy expenditure.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
The relationship between RMR and body weight and between RMR and FFM was different for patients with PWS than for lean and obese controls.
Why this rating
The study involves a comparison of metabolic rates across different groups.
