Anthropoecological approaches to evaluation of energy consumption with food
Daily energy consumption for an individual (i.e. standard metabolism + working consumption) is normally covered with fuel value of consumed food. The article suggests an evaluation method regarding energy food value for populations different in the way of life and climatic characteristics of a habitation region. The estimated results approximate to true food value among Komi (Zyrians) and Komi-Izhemtsyi from Sub-Arctic region, as well as Buryat and Russians from Trans-Baikal region in the 1920s (with divergence of 3-7 %). The method is good for anthropological and ethnological investigations.
