Who needs more energy older adults or younger children?

Younger children generally require more energy relative to their body size compared to older adults, as they are in a rapid growth phase and have higher metabolic rates. Children need energy to support their growth, development, and high levels of physical activity. In contrast, older adults typically have lower energy needs due to decreased metabolism and physical activity levels. However, individual energy requirements can vary based on factors such as health, activity level, and overall lifestyle.
