Basal Metabolism of Connecticut State College Students

Three Figures

E. Charlotte Rogers

Connecticut State College, Storrs

The average basal rate of the Connecticut State College women was found to be 2.3 Aub-DuBois; 1.9 Harris-Benedict, and -0.4 Boothby, Berkson and Dunn. The average for men students was -1.6 Aub-DuBois; +0.8 Harris-Benedict, and 2.5 for Boothby, Berkson and Dunn. For an individual, ranges in rate may be of as much or more physiological significance than average rate.

The excellent quality and quantity of food may be a factor in producing a relatively high average, and the extremes of range may correlate with overactivity or with emotional states common to college life.

Manuscript received 24 March 1939.
