The gas fraction is important for understanding the formation and evolution of galaxies. It is found that there are linear correlations between the atomic-gas-to-stellar mass ratio (G/S) and stellar population properties (age, metallicity and stellar mass) of galaxies. However, only a nearby galaxy sample was used. This work investigates how the correlations change with the redshift limit of galaxies, using three volume limited galaxy samples selected from Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). It shows that there are linear correlations between the G/S and logarithmic values of stellar age, metallicity and mass, for all galaxy samples. It also shows that the linear correlation between G/S and stellar age is much better than others and possibly can be used in future studies. In addition, the scatters of the fitted correlations are found to increase with upper redshift limit of sample galaxies.
