Abstract

|
|
The author investigated the modified Broca´s index that could be applied to Korean adults, what is called Korean Broca´s Index, with 2322 apparently healthy subjects of 20-59 years old in order to obtain the index which could be used to estimate the standard body weight of Korean adults.
The obtained results were as follows:
1. Linear regression equation of body weight to height was Y (weight in kg) =0.7195 X (height in cm) -57. 9746 in male, and Y (weight in kg) =0.4288 X (height in cm) -16. 6528 in female.
2. Estimated constant that could be applied to Korean Broca´s Index K=4s 0. 93 in male and 0.89 in female, and these sexual difference was statistically significant. (P<0.01)
