Abstract: Objective: To analyze the metabolic equivalent and energy consumption of adults with different somatotypesin lying down, sedentary, sleeping and exercising behaviors to provide a reference for reasonable energy intake and intervention of unbealthy lifestyle. Methods: One hundred and forty healthy adults aged 1860were enrolledthrough self-rated health assessment scale (SRHMS) and data screening. Basal metabolism (BM) and energy consumptionin lying down, sedentary, sleepingand exercisingbehaviors were measured by energy metabolism chamber. Results: (1) Male adults of different somatotypes showed no significant difference in BR, while there was a significant difference among women(P<0.05). (2) The average value of metabolic equivalent of both male and female adults in each behaviordecreased gradually from normal somatotype through overweight somatotype to obese somatotype, and there was a significant difference in metabolic equivalent among adults with different somatotypes in lying down, sedentary and sleeping behaviors (P<0.05). (3) The average value of net energy consumption of both male and female adults in each behaviorincreased gradually from normal somatotype through overweight somatotype to obese somatotype, and there was a significant difference in net energy consumption among adults with different somatotypesonly in fast walking (P<0.05). Conclusion and suggestions:Adults should actively control their weightonceoverweight, especially for women. Overweight and obese people, who have greater energy consumption than people with normal somatotype in the same exercise, can give priority to increasing exercise while reducing lying on the back and sitting for a long time.In addition, obese people also need to properly control their sleep time.

Key words: different somatotypes, lifestyle, metabolic equivalent, energy consumption, basal metabolism
