Body composition of sixty-one Japanese men and sixty-two women aged 18 to 24 yrs. was determined by underwater-weighing method. Fat storage rate (%fat) was calculated using Brozek et al's equation (1963). Mean values of %fat were 13.0% for men and 22.3% for women. Japanese men's value was similar to South African's. European's, and Canadian's, but lower than American's. Women's values were not very different from one another, excluding Indian's. Adipose tissue mass (ATM) per 1 m of height in the present study were 4.7 kg/m for men and 7.5 kg/m for women, and the similar tendencies as %fat were found in ATM/height values in comparison with the previous studies. Namely, there were not so large differences in body fat between Japanese and other peoples. But, LBM/height in the present study were 31.2 kg/m for men and 25.6 kg/m for women, which were lower than those of most white peoples. This means that young Japanese adults have poor muscularity.
