In order to study body composition by Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry, the authors selected randomly 31 adult women as subjects, who were from 21 to 25 years old and had complete growth and development, and measured their physiques(body height, body weight, chest girth and sitting height) and skinfold thickness from September 1, 1991 to March 31, 1992. On the basis of these measurements, the author calculated physical indices and total fat percent. On the basis of the results fo bone densitometry, the authors analyzed body fat weight, body composition between left and right sides, body composition according to body position, bone mineral content, bone mineral density and total bone calcium, and compared the difference between the fattiness which was calculated indirectly and that gained from the bone densitometry. After that, the authors analyzed correlation of results from two methods.
