Energy expenditure at rest was determined twice in 10 healthy subjects with a 2-d interval at a relative humidity of 32 and 66 per cent respectively. The relative humidity over the 2 d preceding each observation was estimated to be about 32 per cent. The average (+/- s.e.m.) difference between the RMR at a relative humidity of 32 and 66 per cent respectively was found to be 0.3 +/- 1.2 watt. The results presented here justify the commonly used practice of neglecting variations in humidity when reporting on results of observations of resting metabolic rates in apparently healthy subjects.
在10名健康受试者中，分别在相对湿度为32%和66%的条件下，间隔2天对静息能量消耗进行了两次测定。每次观察前2天的相对湿度估计约为32%。结果发现，相对湿度分别为32%和66%时的静息代谢率之间的平均（±标准误）差异为0.3±1.2瓦。此处给出的结果证明了在报告明显健康受试者静息代谢率观察结果时，通常忽略湿度变化这一做法的合理性。
