Studies on the Basal Metabolism of Infants

Part III. On the Standard Amounts of Basal Metabolism of the Japanese Infants

Abstract

The basal metabolic rate of 64 infants (1-4 years of age) in the Hokuriku-District was measured by the helmet-mask method, and the process of these changes by age were observed. In consequence, the new research data on the basal metabolic rate of Japanese infants were reported.
