Figure 4.

Seasonal variations of ambient temperature and seasonal effects for TEE, BEE, AEE, PAL, body mass, fat-free mass, fat mass, adjusted TEE, adjusted BEE, adjusted AEE, adjusted PAL (adjusted for fat-free mass, fat mass, age, and age²)

Plots A to J are shown as double plots to illuminate the seasonal trends, and all error bars are present as SE.

(A) average temperature (^oC).

(B) maximum temperature (^oC).

(C) minimum temperature (^oC).

(D) Total energy expenditure (MJ/d).

(E) Basal energy expenditure (MJ/d).

(F) Activity energy expenditure (MJ/d).

(G) Physical activity level.

(H) Body mass (kg).

(I) fat-free mass (kg).

(J) fat mass (kg).

(K) adjusted TEE.

(L) adjusted BEE.

(M) adjusted AEE, and (N) adjusted PAL.

(O) repeated measures of adjusted TEE. Lines join repeat measures of the same individual in different months. Unadjusted and adjusted TEE, BEE, and AEE are in MJ/day, and each data point is a different individual.
