Benedict and Talbot, Carnegie Inst. Wash. Pub. No. 302, 1921, table 36, p. 206. 



TABLE 21. 



Basal heat-production per 

 kilogram per 24 hours, 

 predicted from age, for 

 girls from 12 to 17 years 

 of age. 



TABLE 22. 



Formula for predicting basal heat-production 

 of males per 24 hours. 



h =66.473 + 13.752w> +5.003s -6.755a 

 h = heat-production per 24 hours. 

 w = weight in kilograms, 

 s = stature in centimeters. 

 a =age in years. 



TABLE 23. 



Formula for predicting basal heat-production 

 per 24 hours for women. 



h = 655.096 +9.563w> + 1.850s -4.676a. 

 h = heat-production per 24 hours. 

 w = weight in kilograms, 

 s = stature in centimeters. 

 a age in years.
