Effect of Environmental Temperature on Energy Expenditure and Caloric Requirements

J. A. LeBlanc 1

1 From the Physiology Section, Defence Research Northern Laboratory, Fort Churchill, Manitoba, Canada

The caloric requirements of persons living and taking part in simulated military exercises in the Arctic have been investigated. From food intake evaluations these requirements are found to be about 3900 Cal/man/day. Direct and indirect evidence is reported which shows that there is no correlation between environmental temperature and caloric requirements at least for temperatures encountered in temperate, subarctic and arctic regions. Some stimulating effect on appetite has, however, been observed in an isolated military post located in the Arctic.
