This paper is a contribution to the problem of an optimum forecast of body mass by means of the skeletal dimensions stature and chest circumference. Application of the basic equation valid for allometric functions made it possible to estimate the power of chest circumference in the forecast formula as approximately 1.7 for males and 1.6 for females. In such a formula the respective body mass index seems to be almost independent of age, for both males and females. Reliability of the procedure under consideration will be the object of an evaluation in another study.
