Kurazumi et al.(1994) paid attention to the change in the Japanese physique and the figure and proposed the calculation formula for the body surface area of the human body that made body height and weight a component. Kurazumi et al. measured the total body surface area, and about ten years passed through more. Though the human body continues a change by the various factors, I did the examination that could conform to the present Japanese adult as well that the calculation formula for the body surface area of the human body of Kurazumi et al. passed through about ten years. I measured the body surface area of the human body as a subject by six healthy adult men and women, and compared the body surface area calculated values with the results of actual measurement. As a result, as for the calculation formula of DuBois and Fujimoto-Watanabe, a significant difference was shown between the calculation value and the result of actual measurement, and made clear that it was necessary to pay attention to the use. On the other hand, as for the calculation formula of Kurazumi et al., the man of Kurazumi et al. and the woman of Kurazumi et al., a significant difference was not recognized between the calculation value and the result of actual measurement value, and it confirmed that it conformed with the actual measurement value.<br>
