Abstract
The present paper describes the effect of age and sex on both of data anthropometric measurement and physical capacity of 1176 aged (males and females) for the past four years. The sliding scales are made based on these data to investigate the characteristics of aged shape. Moreover, the relation between physical capacities and daily household working capacities is searched.
The results show that both the values of anthropometric measurement and physical capacity decrease with aging and these tendencies are remarkably observed in females. The span (both hands extend laterally to their maximum length) is the better index than height to indicate the physical characteristics of aging. It is found that the proportion of height and physical capacity have correlations both with chronic disease and working capacity.
