摘要

We studies 300 healthy citizen of Kaohsiung City, Taiwan, to discover factors that affect body shape, and expecially body weight. It´s our hope that we could find an objective evaluative index to assess obesity that would be suitable for use in out-patient clinics.
During the study period, 300 healthy, under 50 years old volunteers were participated in our study. All the participant were asked to completed a questionnaire and anthropometric measures for analysis.
The result of our study showed that age, sex and drinking habit all were significantly affected body shape. We also found that relative body weight and subscapular skinfold thickness are best predictor of body fat composition. Therefore, we suggest the combined use relative body weight and subscapular skinfold thickness as an index for ssessing obesity in out-patient clinics.
