[Data on the exact definition of standards for physiological energy requirements for the adult population capable of working].

It has been shown that there is no necessity in dividing the population capable of working into groups according to their age, as gradual ontogenetic decrease in the cellular metabolism takes place in the presence of parallel physiological growth of body mass. The authors have divided the population capable of working into groups of intensive work depending on their daily energy requirement, with an interval of 400 kcal. It is recommended that the data presented be used for the development of an exactly defined variant of physiological nutrition standards.
