Physiological Characteristics in Relation to Climatic Preference

Audrey F. M. Driver 1

1 From the Department of Physiology, University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong

An investigation of eight selected Chinese males showed that those who preferred the tropical summer of Hong Kong had higher blood pressures in both seasons than those who preferred the cool winter. The summer difference was statistically significant. No differences in change with season were observed between the basal metabolic rates, metabolic rates of the subjects sitting, or oral temperatures of the two groups. Statistical evaluation showed no difference in change in B.M.R. nor was any real difference found between the mean oral temperatures. The amount of unevaporated sweat produced during exercise was related to weight and not to climatic preference.
