TEE: total energy expenditure (kcal/day; average between dry and wet season where available); RMR: resting metabolic rate (kcal/day); AEE: activity energy expenditure =TEE-RMR; AEE/wt: activity energy expenditure divided by weight in kcal/kg/d; data from a[44, 45]; breviewed by [45]; data from c[50]; d[51]; e[52]; f[53]; g[54]; h[55]; i[46]: BMRs estimated using formula (3.5 mL/kg/min O2) * 4.9; j[56]; k[57] values derived from Ph.D. thesis [58]; l[59]. †Significantly different between farming and Western populations. Values for Western TEE, AEE, and AEE/wt used in statistical analysis derived from artificial dataset derived from means, standard deviations, and subject numbers as reported in [42]. No significant differences between hunter/gatherer and Farming populations. |
