The relation between caloric intake, body weight, and physical work was established in a group of 213 mill workers in West Bengal. These workers covered a wide range of physical activity, from sedentary to very hard work. It was found that caloric intake increases with activity only within a certain zone ("normal activity"). Below that range ("sedentary zone") a decrease in activity is not followed by a decrease in food intake but, on the contrary, by an increase. Body weight is also increased in that zone. The picture is similar to that previously found in experimental animals.
