Analysis of pre- and post-patrol body weight of 670 men from the crews of seven submarines showed that 32% of the men gained weight, 52% lost, and the 12% did not change. From the magnitude of individual weight losses, it was inferred that as many as a third of the men may have been actively dieting. These data do not support the widespread belief that men tend to gain weight during submarine patrols. (Author)
