By the comparative measurement and analyse concerning the growth ratio, physique and nutrition index in accordance with the year and age on the bases of the measured results of the height, weight and chest (during the periods of 1913-1922 and 1976). Which was made public by the governmental authorities and other societies for the purpose of the study on the physical development of the Korean, Japanese and Taiwan students, the following results are obtained.
1. The value of physical measurements.
1) The performance of spurt was resulted between 15 years of age and 16, during the periods of 1913-22, and between 14 and 15 in the period of 1976 (in case of the korean and Taiwan students). And also, in case of the Japanese students, the performance of spurt was resulted between 13 years of age and 14.
2) The physical development curve comparatively presents the status of stability despite of the status of unstability in the Korean and Taiwan students during the periods of 1913-22.
3) The growth ratio rapidly progress to the high level between 13 years of age and 15 in any countries separately.
4) The yearly measurement of physique, weight and chest shows that the Japanese students are predominant and the Korean and Taiwan are similar in any case.
5) The average growth value according to the age of the physique measurement of the Korean students for about 60 years shows 13.7cm in the height (Japanese-16.3cm Taiwan-15.1cm), 9.5kg in the weight(Japanese-10.7kg, Taiwan-11.1kg), and 9.0cm in the chest (Japanese-7.6cm, Taiwan-8.0cm)
2. Physique and nutrition index.
1) All the indices are on the low level during the period of 1913-22. The indices of the korean and Taiwan make the high differences comparing with that of the Japanese students, In 1976, however the general indices present the status.
2) Rohrer, Broca, and pignet index between 15 years of age and 17 during the period of 1913-22 shows the opposite status to the index in 1976.
3) The yearly nutrition index shows that the Japanese students are more predominant and the Korean and Taiwan students are similar to each other.
4) The physical status and nutrition index of the Korean, Japanese and Taiwan students are influenced by the historical background.
