Hunter-Gatherer Energetics and Human Obesity
Figure 1
Individual comparisons of TEE and FFM.
Energy expenditure for Hadza hunter-gatherers (red circles) was similar to that of Westerners (gray [19]–[26]). Bolivian women farmers (blue open circles [13], [31]) had higher TEE than either Hadza or Western women. Trendlines are ordinary least squares regressions through Western men (solid line) and Western women (dashed line).
