Table 1 Anthropometric characteristics of subjects

From: Greater body mass index is related to greater self-identified cold tolerance and greater insensible body mass loss

  1. “a,” “b,” and “ab” represent statistically classified groups by ANOVA
  2. aHTO: I am tolerable to heat only
  3. bCTO: I am tolerable to cold only
  4. cNHC: I am intolerable to both heat and cold
  5. dBMI (body mass index) = body weight (kg)/height (cm)2
  6. eBSA (body surface area) = height (cm)0.725 × body weight (kg)0.425 × 72.46
