Abstract
Thirty-seven variables, including those representing skeletal size, lean body mass, fat mass, water content, and total mass of the body, were measured in 100 male students 18–20 years old. The relationships of the above body components to basal oxygen intake showed weight, water-free mass, and lean body mass to be better reference standards than body surface area for the comparison of basal metabolic rates.Keywords
