Inter-district diferences, reported in studies carried out about 40 years ago, no longer exist. Diferences between games for the variables weight, TH, SH and total body fat are significant for both genders, and for the variable BMI in the case of males. There has been a positive point, only 53perc. of women and 77.9perc. of men are categorised as being energy adequate. It is concluded that the BMR of Sri Lankan adults is probably lower than the values by the FAO/WHO in calculating energy requirementsItem Size at birth of Sri Lanka(The Sri Lanka Medical Association.
