Due to the fact that blood gathering is not readily accepted by people, it has been difficult to make a full-scale study on zinc through blood analysis. For that reason, in this paper, a correlation of zinc contents in serum and hair was studied to find out whether only hair, which is relatively easy to collect, can be used for a measurement of zinc content. The subjects were 47 healthy female collegians selected at random whose average age was 22, mean height 159.1cm and average weight 49.7kg. The mean zinc value in serum of subjects was ${107.1}pm{29.0}{mu}g{/100ml}$, while the mean value in hair was ${150.2}pm{42.7}ppm$. Correlation analysis shows that there was a significant correlation in zinc contents of serum and hair ( p<0.01). The results shows that measuring zinc level by using only hair samples would be satisfactory. But the use of hair sample for a measurement of zinc level has one demerit. That is, the method is more likely to be subjected to contamination because it makes more complicated procedures in sample preparation than the method of using blood sample.
