Energy balance
Reduced fat-free mass (FFM) is not the sole explanation for the lower energy expenditure seen in patients with PWS.
Practitioners should consider multiple factors affecting energy expenditure in PWS patients.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
These results also suggest that reduced FFM is not the sole explanation for the lower energy expenditure seen in patients with PWS.
Why this rating
The study provides insights into metabolic rates beyond just FFM.
