Seasonal variation of the energy metabolism of Japanese was measured on the following items. 1) Seasonal variation of the basal metabolism by sex and age-group, and by intensity of work on some age-groups. 2) Seasonal variation of the rest metabolism by age-group on male. 3) Seasonal variation of work metabolism and relative metabolic rate (R. M. R.). 4) As supplement, influence of menarche on variation of basal metabolism. In general, it is shown that the energy metabolism of Japanese variates under the influence of seasonal variation of Japanese climate, as basal metabolism of adult is low in summer and high in winter. But basal metabolism of infant shows two peaks in a year. And rest metabolism of infant and school age children have different seasonal variation from those of adult and aged. On work metabolism, aged subjects showed more variance than other age-groups.
