THE CALORIC COST AND FLUID AND ELECTROLYTE BALANCE IN SIMULATED SUBARCTIC SURVIVAL SISTUATIONS
Field investigation was undertaken in 1961-62 to determine the physiological changes concomitant with starvation in an arctic or sub-arctic environment. The results of these experiments indicate that man increases his caloric expenditure to 2300 kcal/Msq./24 hours, as is expected, but that he also d...

The results of these experiments indicate that man increases his caloric expenditure to 2300 kcal/Msq./24 hours, as is expected, but that he also displays a severe dehydration. This dehydration is accompanied by a marked loss of electrolytes, primarily sodium, and it is this isotonic dehydration that causes the severe malaise and apathy typical of starvation in the cold.
