Abstract

The purpose of this study is to measure energy consumption according to physical activity. The subjects were healthy Korean women who are from 30s to 50s. Estimated by anthropometric measurements, blood pressure, and clinic tests, their health status was good. There were no significant difference in energy consumption according to physical activity. Only the women in their 4os had more responsibilities in the house work than the women in 30s and 50s. The daily energy consumption tends to decrease with age. So it is important to consider physical activities when we establish daily energy reguirements.
