Abstract
There are two ways for the evaluation of the nutrition status of human organism; subjective and objective. In this study we attempted to establish the standard for evaluating the nutritive condition with Rohrer, Kaup and Kawahata Index and tried to make the study on the relationships between the subjective and objective evaluation. 1) In Kaup, Kawahata Index, as the age grows, the indices are likely to increase, but in Rohrer Index to decrease. 2) In order to make the norm for their evaluation, we considered that the mean should be adopted because the variation of means due to different ages was comparatively smaller than that of mode and median in all indices. 3) The variation of means in each Index gets smaller in such order as Rohrer, Kawahata and Kaup Index. 4) The distribution curve of each Index was symmetric, but of little skewness. But high or low Kurutosis was observed, so the definite tendency might not be concluded. 5) In the multiple correlation between the subjective and objective ways of evaluation the Index which linearly combined with Rohrer, Kaup and Kawahata was the largest. Considering the practicability of evaluation, however, we should adopt Kawahata Index in elementary school, but Rohrer or Kaup in junior high school.
