Abstract

The anthropometric measurements containing thirty one items such as body weight, body height, sitting height and others were carried out for about twenty thousand male Japanese selected from a certain group, which consisted of 160.000 male adults and distributed all over in Japan.<br>The correlation coefficients between every two measures were calculated from the randomized samples of three hundred individuals.<br>The results were as follows.<br>1) The correlation coefficient of length to length was larger than that of length to girth and that of length to width.<br>The correlation coefficient of girth to girth was larger than that of girth to length and girth to width and no remarkable values were found for width to width.<br>2) The correlation coefficient values of weight to lengths, weight to girths and weight to widths were large. Among these, the coefficients for weight to girth were the largest, then that for weight to length and the smallest were the values for weight to width.<br>3) Most of the correlation coefficient showed positive value, except a few showing negative, and the significance of these negative cases were discussed.
