ABSTRACT
Sixty two adults, including forty one males (16-36 yrs.) and twenty one females (16-25 yrs.), were studied by closed circuit method as regards their B.M.R. Males showed a greater lowering of metabolism than the females when compared to MF and AD standards. The females actually showed a higher B.M.R. than the RR standards. Both the sexes had a higher basal metabolism than the value reported from other parts of the country. The difference, however, was significant only in the case of females. Winter metabolism was not sigificantly higher than the summer value in either sex, though females showed some what greater variation.
