WHO: World Health Organization; IOM: Institute of Medicine.
* The WHO estimates are based on assumed physical activity levels of 1.45 to 1.85 mJ/day (boys, increasing with age), and 1.4 to 1.7 mJ/day (girls, increasing with age), considered "moderate physical activity" (rather than light or vigorous physical activity).
¶ The IOM estimates for children 3 to 18 years are based on assumed physical activity coefficients of 1.6 to 1.9 mJ/day, considered "active" (rather than sedentary, low active, or very active).
