Expected body weight in adolescents: comparison between weight-for-stature and BMI methods.
Pediatrics. 2012; (6): e1607-13
To test the hypothesis that the weight-for-stature (WFS) and BMI methods are not equivalent in determining expected body weight (EBW) in adolescents with eating disorders and to determine the sensitivity, specificity, and positive predictive value of each method to detect those <75% EBW. We hypothesized that differences in EBW would be greatest at the extremes of height.
