192 A BIOMETRIC STUDY OF BASAL METABOLISM IN MAN. 



TABLE 74. Comparison of average deviation (in calories, without regard to sign] from, the actual coloric- 

 output, of heat-production calculated on the one hand from multiple regression equations involving 

 body-weight, stature, and age and on the other from (a) the mean heat-production per unit of body- 

 weight and of surface by the Du Bois height-weight chart, from (b) the regression of total heat on 

 body-weight and on body-surface, and from (c) the regression of total heat-production on stature and 

 body-weight. 



* The differences in these columns are obtained from the first column of this table and the entries of the 

 preceding tables as follows: column II from III of table 61; column III from III of table 67; column IV from 

 I of table 61; column V from I of table 67; column VI from I of table 71. 



TABLE 75. Comparison of square root of mean-square deviation (in calories) from the actual caloric-output 

 of heat-production calculated on the one hand from multiple regression equations invoking body-weight, 

 stature, and age, and on the other from (a) the mean heat-production per unit of body-weight and of 

 surface by the Du Bois height-weight chart, from (b) the regression of total heat on body-weight and on 

 body-surface by the Du Bois height-weight chart and from (c) the regression of total heat on stature 

 and body-weight. 



* The differences in these columns are obtained from the first column of this table and the entries of pre- 

 ceding tables as follows: column II from III of table 62; column III from III of table 68; column IV from I 

 of table 62; column V from I of table 68; column VI from I of table 72.
