A questionnaire survey was administered to two groups (278 subjects each) Consisting of mothers and daughters to determine: (1)self-perceptions of their own individual physiques, (2) their ideals of physique, and(3) their behavioral and dietary problems relevant to health. (1) The results obtained by the questionnaire on seIf-awareness of physiques were summarized and a factor analysis applied to 26 items related to body trunk, extremities, and neck. The first and second factors were interpreted as awareness of the girth of body trunk and legs. The behavior of Japanese adult women was found to be effected by a self-awareness of the girth of one's own physique. (2) The results obtained by the questionnaire regarding one's ideal physique were summarized and the composite ideal body size was compared with measurement values. There was found to be a trend among Japanese adult women to want to be slimmer in the waist and hip girth, to be taller, and to be lighter. 40 % of the "daughters' group" defined their ideal physique in terms of the modern-fashion model. Moreover, they perceive it is valuable to be good looking. The ideal Rohrer index was calculated with values of height and weight reported as their ideal value. The ideal Rohrer index is very small in comparison to the real Rohrer index calculated from the measurement values of height and weight on the national sample. The daughters' and mothers' groups showed a strong aspiration to be slim. (3) In the age of consumption economics, modern women exhibit a desire to be slimmer and to be "good looking." When such modern women try to slenderize themselves beyond reasonable standards of good health, it falls to the scientific community to comment on harmful trends and to offer useful guidance, substantiated by sound reason, for the promotion and maintenance of good health.
