FIGURE 40.1
Height vs. weight charts for (A) males with type I OI and (B) females with type III OI. The data show the significant increase
in weight for individuals to age 20 (multicolored) and adults >age 20 years (black). Of interest is the relative correspondence for height and
weight for type I and III until age approximate 20 years, when a significant increase in weight is apparent for both genders and both OI types.

is consistently less than energy expenditure leads to
weight loss, while intake in excess of expenditure results
in weight gain. It should be noted that for individuals
with OI who have smaller body size or limited mobility,
the EER is likely to overestimate their kcaloric needs.
The goal for adults with OI is the same as for all
adults: to meet their energy needs to support physical
activity and health, while achieving and maintaining a
healthy bodyweight. Children with OI also must meet
their needs for adequate growth and development.
No research has investigated whether the total
energy expenditure (TEE) of individuals with OI is
similar to that of individuals without OI. For a person
with mild type I OI, it is likely that the TEE is similar to
that of a matched individual without OI, and therefore
the EER is a reasonable place to start when estimating
energy needs. For an individual with more severe OI
that affects height, mobility and/or places limitations
on physical activity, EER estimates may not be accurate.
In general, decreased mobility and curtailed physical
