Abstract
A new H-2/H-1 and O-18/O-16 equilibration device was tested, standardi zed and employed for the determination of total energy expenditure. It was shown that overweight men and women have increased resting metabo lic rate as well as increased total energy expenditure when compared t o their lean counterparts. The physical activity level (PAL)index was slightly decreased which possibly suggests a decreased physical activi ty in obese people.
