A su:-vey on the nutritional state was conducted from June 11 to Nov. 30, 1971, on 673 women workers "1625 yrs) Dorking in a factory of food industry. Total body fat content was measured by skin-fold thickness (S. F T.) with caliper at three regygy on of the body. And it was ca´culated by regression equation, with the following conclusion; we:, abtained.
1. The m -an with standard deviation body height and weight of the Korean women workers were 155. 0-`--1. 21 cm and 50. 1 X5.31 k: respectively.
Their mean skin-fo:d thickness with their standard deviat on>, triceps region of upper arm,
Subscapular r ,ion, 18.05. 57mm; Abd urinal region, 19.3-1-4.87 mm and total avenger, 17.2 3. The body fat content; according to body fat weight regression equation were;fat weight, 10.7 kg, fat-free weight, tk ; Iat weight/ fat-free weight, 27.5%; fat-free mass/ total body
mass 7. and fat weight;´ total body mass,21.60.
4. Since the slcnin-fold thickness between the triceps and upper abdominal region and between the former and Subscapular region were correlated with the coefficients of 0.838 and 0.615 respectively. and the following regression equations were established.
a) S. F. T. of Subscapular region (mm)=0.929XS. F. T. of triceps region (mm)-+-4.707.
b) S. F. T. of abdominal region(mm) =1.24 X S. F. T. of triceps region(m.m) + 1.50. Nutritional survey on the women workers in a fact ory of food industry, performed as above
by the S. F. T. method, elucidated the fact that their nutritional state is as good as the control
healthy female, and that their energy uptake may well be said to be satisfactory.
