Abstract

|
The author has measured the body surface areas by DuBois’ formula, triceps, subscapular and suprailiac skinfold thicknesses and hearts on teleroentgenogram by Moritz method in 221 male and 158 female Korean students to determine their parameters and calculated the correlation coefficients among those items. The following conclusions were drawn from the study. 1. The averages of the body surface area were 16427.3㎠ in male and 14704.8㎠ in female. 2. The correlation coefficients between the body surface area and the stature were 0.42 in male and 0.36 in female. 3. The correlation coefficients between the body surface area and the chest girth were 0.57 in male and 0.42 in female. 4. The correlation coefficients between the body surface area and the body weight were 0.95 in male and 0.94 in female. 5. No correlation between the body surface area and skinfold thickmesses were found in male, but the coefficients of 0.20 to 0.39 were generally indicative of moderately correlated condition in female. 6. No correlation between the body surface area and % fat were found in both sexes. 7. No correlation between the body surface area and the heart measurements were found in male, but the coefficients of 0.21 to 0.58 were generally indicative moderately correlated condition in female.
