a BMR = Predicted basal metabolic rate (FAO/WHO/UNU, 1985).
b Mean energy intakes expressed as a multiple of mean predicted BMR.
c Excluded from Table 31 because x BMR was < 1.28 or > 1.79.
d (M) = Median (NCHS) weights at mid-year.
e Mean energy intakes (MJ/d) calculated from recorded energy intake (kJ/kg/d) and median (NCHS) weights.
f Median weights reported.
