한국인 청년체격계측치의 상관관계에 관한 연구

Abstract

The author has measured the stature. sitting height. chest girth and body weight of the adolescent Koreans and calculated the correlation coeffi cients among the items. The following conclusions were drawn from the study. 1. The coefficients of 0.8 in male and 0.7 in female between stature and sitting height are indicative of highly correlated condition. 2. The coefficients of 0.4 in male and 0.3 in female between stature and chest girth are indicative of low correlated condition. 3. The coefficients of 0.6 in both sexes between stature and body weight are indicative of moderately correlated condition. 4. The coefficient of O. 9 in male between sitting height and chest girth is indicative of highly correlated condition but that of 0.4 in female is indicative of low correlated condition. 5. The coefficient of 0.4 in male between sitting height and body weight is indicative of low corre lated condition and that of 0.6 in female is indicative of moderately correlated condition. 6. The coefficient of 0.6 in male between chest girth and body weight is indicative of moderately correlated condition but that of 0.8 in female is indicative of highly correlated condition. 7. No differences are found in the coefficients between the whites and Koreans.
