国际组织目前的假设是，生活在相同环境中、具有相同生活方式的相同体型的个人，无论其种族如何，其能源需求都相同。关于能量摄入量非常低的报道经常受到质疑。为了研究可能的种族差异，在相同的实验条件下，测量了欧洲、亚洲和非洲男性标准化活动的能量成本。受试者的身高、体重和克托莱指数密切匹配。每项活动的能量消耗，躺，坐，站，是显着较高的，由10- 17%，在欧洲人相比，亚洲人和非洲人，谁之间没有发现差异。这些差异是否是形态或代谢进行了讨论。能量需求的差异确实存在于身体大小和活动之外。
The assumption is currently made by international organizations that individuals of the same size living in the same environment and having the same mode of living will have the same energy requirements whatever their race. Reports of very low energy intakes are frequently doubted. To investigate possible racial differences the energy cost of standardzed activities was measured in European, Asian and African males under the same experimental conditions. Subjects were closely matched for height, weight and Quetelet index. The energy cost of each activity, lying, sitting and standing, was significantly higher, by 10-17%, in Europeans as compared to Asians and Africans, between whom no differences were found. Whether these differences are morphological or metabolic is discussed. Differences in energy requirements do exist over and above those due to body size and activity.
