Many biological and anthropological investigations have described the role between mass‐to‐surface area index (M/SA) and heat tolerance. No large M/SA database exists that can be used as a reference standard to interpret previous or future M/SA studies. This report presents the M/SA data of a large military cohort (1,170 males aged 17–54 years, 305 females aged 17–40 years). The effects of gender, ethnic group, and age on the distribution of M/SA, as well as the relationship between M/SA and other physical characteristics, were described. It was observed that the increase of M/SA with increasing age (over the 17–75 years category) were not significant. All descriptive characteristics (including M/SA) were different ( P
