한국여성의 체표면적에 관한 연구 ( 제1보 ) - 체표면적 및 그의 안분비율에 (按分比率) 대하여 - = A Study on the Body Surface Area of Korean Women ( Part Ⅰ ) Body Surface Area and It's Rational Rate

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of study was to measure to body Surface area and the rational rate of Korean adult`s women. The subjects are 20 years old to 49 years old women (Their bust width ranges from 74.5 to 101. 5 cm, the height from 144.6 to 163. 3cm, the weight from 44. 2 to 74.0 kg, Rohrer Index from 1. 02 to 1.89). As the experimental method, both the gypsum method, by which the shape of body can be copied as it is, and weighing method, from which planed body surface area can be measured with consistant thickness of polypropylene film used. The results were obtained as follows. 1. After dividing the Korean adult`s women into four groups (single and married women in their twenties, those in their thirties, those in their fourties). The change of body surface area was reviewed in accordance with age groups. No great difference among age group was showed in whole body surface area. 2. The average value of body surface area is 1, 514m₂ and the part of trunk shows the biggest difference to the age groups. 3. After dividing the middle of body into two groups, the relation of symmetry of each parts is reviewed with difference in body surface area. The results shows that the part of head & neck and lower limbs are symmetrical. The part of trunk and upper limbs are unsymmetrical. 4. Regional rates of each part of whole body surface area are follows. head 4.98%, each-lobes 0.46%, neck 2.01%, face2.48%, upper trunk 19.64%, lower trunk 13. 91%, upper armpits 1.76%, lower armpits 12.52%, , hands 4.64%, thighs 18. 89%, lower legsl 3.10%, feet 6.01%.
