    Recently the criterion of Body Mass Index (BMI), which classifies obese and lean people by height and weight, has come into daily use. However, the criteria of the Ministry of Health and Welfare have also been used in medical examinations at Osaka health centers.
    To investigate whether the Ministry of Health and Welfare criteria are appropriate, we compared the incidence of obesity in medical examinations determined variously according to the criteria of the Ministry of Health and Welfare, Body Mass Index and Matsuki's method.
    The Ministry of Health and Welfare criteria produce more thin and less obese people because the standard weight applied differs by age and is heavier than that of other criteria. There is significantly greater disagreement between the Ministry of Health and Welfare criteria and Body Mass Index than between Body Mass Index and Mastuki's method.
    Thus, the standard weight used in the Ministry of Health and Welfare criteria for obesity and thinness is inappropriate and the criteria of BMI seem to be the most reasonable of these methods.

    The lifestyle of young adults has been receiving attention with a view to improving it for the sake of preventing coronary heart diseases (CHD) in later life. In this study, to determine the influence of different lifestyles on serum phospholipid level, we carried out surveys and laboratory studies on the effects of nutritional intake, physical activity, and smoking or alcohol consumption of 131 young female adults on their serum phospholipid levels. The nutritional survey indicated a significant correlation between serum phospholipid level and animal protein intake (p<0.05). In the survey of physical activity, no significant relationship was found between energy expenditure per kg body weight and serum phospholipid level. No significant relationship was found between smoking or drinking and serum phospholipid level. Body mass index was found to have effects on both serum phospholipid and total cholesterol levels.

    Adsorption-desorption behavior of water vapor on activated carbon and charcoal was investigated to assess the humidity-control capacity (HCC) of microporous carbon. The amount of water vapor adsorbed (W1) was measured for 26 microporous carbon samples at 25°C and relative pressure of 0.55. Relative pressure was increased to 0.90 and the amount of water vapor adsorbed (W2) was measured. Relative pressure was then lowered to 0.55 again and the amount of water vapor adsorbed (W3) measured again. W2-W3(≡W4) expresses HCC; microporous carbon with high W4 is desirable.
    HCC of commercial charcoal was 20-30mg/g and less than that of commercial activated carbon. HCC of activated carbon was dependent on raw material and activation method. Activated carbon produced by chemical activation with zinc chloride had higher HCC than other types of activated carbon made by gas activation. Activated carbon obtained from coconut shell had lower HCC than activated carbon produced from wood or coal.
    The relationship between adsorption-desorption behavior and porosity of carbon was examined. HCC of microporous carbon increased with pore volume.
