This study analyzed the lower body type of women aged 20 to 30 to understand their respective characteristics. The research method was restricted to the use of direct measurements data and 3D measurements data of the Sixth Size Korea. Factor analysis, cluster analysis, ANOVA, Duncan's test, discriminant analysis, t-test, and ${\chi}^2$-test were performed for the statistical analysis of the data using SPSS Win 20.0 program. The results of this study are as follows. Lower body type based on 3D measurements were classified into 3 types (obese lower body, long lower body, and small lower body). Lower body type based on direct measurements were classified into 3 types (obese lower body, thick and long lower body, and small lower body). Lower body type based on the direct measurement of sitting pose were classified into 3 types (obese lower body, long and thin lower body, and short lower body). The age differences in the lower body types could be analyzed by an evaluation of the 3D simulation of the lower body.

오늘날 지체장애인의 수는 후천적 원인으로 인하여 점점 증가하는 추세에 있다. 이에 본 연구는 훨체어를 사용하는 하반신마비자 중 성인남성을 중심으로 인체계측을 통해 적합성이 높은 바지를 개발하는데 목적이 있다. 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 인체계측 결과 하반신마비자들은 정상인과 비교했을 때 허리둘레 및 배둘레에서 유의한 차이를 보여 새로운 치수체계가 필요로 함을 알 수 있었다 또 자세 변화에 따른 둘레항목의 치수 변화와 피부 신축율에 의해 허리선의 변화가 고려되어 평상시의 휠체어에 앉은 자세에서 계측한 항목으로 원형이 설계되어야 할 필요가 있다고 분석되었다. 2. 연구원형은 기성복화 하기 위한 방법으로 먼저 기준치수(98-102)를 선정하고, 원형 각 부위는 절대치로 수치화 시켜서 제시하였다. 뒤밑위길이선은 허리선에서 8cm 늘이고 앞밑위길이선은 허리선에서 6cm 줄여 앉은 자세에서 편안함을 확보할 수 있도록 하였다. 기준치수의 경우 바지길이 107cm, 밑위길이 26cm, 밑위선 28cm, 엉덩이둘레선은 밑위선 위로 8.5cm, 바지부리는 10.5cm이고 외관과 기능성 평가 결과 대부분의 항목에서 우수한 평가를 받았다. 3. 계측 대상자 계측치를 근거로 치수의 출현율을 고려하여 연구 치수체계를 기본 신체부위인 앉은 허리둘레와 앉은 엉덩이둘레의 순으로 적용하여 총 7개의 치수로 설정하였다. 기준치수(98-102)의 연구원형을 마스터 패턴으로 하고 구체적인 원형 부위별 절대치로써 치수 차를 검토하여 연구 그레이딩 룰을 설계하였으며 기준치수 보다 작은 사이즈 88-93과 큰 사이즈 108-111의 적합성을 검증하였다.

This study helps out-size consumers purchase ready-made clothes and improve fitness by classifying the lower bodies of abdomen-obese adult males in their 20s and older; in addition, it creates a size system based on each size interval of obesity type. The criteria for the 559 male subjects surveyed in this study were over $25kg/m^2$ of BMI, over 90 cm of waist, and over 0.85 waist hip ratio. The results are as follows. First, the higher the age group, the higher the degree of abdominal obesity in each age group. The degree of obesity then decreases somewhat as their age increases; however, the risk of abdominal obesity also increases. Second, 3 clusters were categorized by cluster analysis, into abdominal obesity, larger oval-type, trapezoid-type and small cylinder-type. Third, the size system establishment according to lower-body types resulted in basic body sizes and reference body sizes being different according to types even in commonly-appeared size names in the sections of respective types. The above research findings show it is necessary to understand obesity types according to waist and hip sizes that represent basic sizes and to design patterns in consideration of the characteristics of obese body shapes when lower-half body clothes are designed among obesity groups.

This study aimed to analyze the characteristics of the lower-body shape of middle-aged males with abdominal obesity by type and consider dimensional distribution to present a suit-pants size. The criteria were having a waist circumference greater than 90 cm and a waist-to-hip ratio(WHR) greater than 0.90; a total of 566 middle-aged males were surveyed. The findings revealed that, first, compared to standard lower-body types, the average body size of abdomenobese middle-aged males was significantly larger, especially in the horizontal area than in the vertical ares. Second, through a cluster analysis, a total of three categories of abdominal obesity were defined: small oval, large cylinder, and trapezoid type. The coverage rates of each type were 93.8%, 75.9%, and 93.0%, respectively. Finally, the suit-pants size system established according to lower-body types indicated the basic body size and reference body size were different for each type and also for the KS K 0050 male adult's garments size system. According to the definition of abdominal obesity, the types of abdominal obesity and the dimensions of each area are different, even if they belong to the same obesity group, suggesting that it is necessary to develop a pattern based on the analysis of obesity types.

The aims of this study is to classify the lower somatotype of adult women and appearance analysis on the shape of flare skirts by using the image processing. Also We have made skirts in order to analyze the various types of appearance of flare skirts by using the image processing. The subjects for our wear test lower somatotype, who were controlled in their waist, abdomen and hip shapes. The flare skirts used for wear test were 112 types(combinated 14 fabric type and 8 lower somatotype). The effect of lower somatotype on the shape of flare skirts was determined by the horizontally hem line section shape and the silhouette of flare skirts with image processing. The data were analyzed by using analysis of variance and Turkey, Duncan multiple range test. The results obtained are summarized as follows: It is shown that the fabric weight elongation differs in fabrics properties, in direction of textures. The shape horizontal section of flare skirt hem line has differed with the number of nodes, wave-height of nodes and breadth of silhouette by fabrics properties and lower somatotype. It is noticed that the breadth of flare skirts by the silhouette has high correlation with the drape ability of fabrics and lower somatotype. Results for our flare skirts show changes in amplitude and mean with fabrics, somatotype. Therefore we can say that gray-level histograms are correlated with changes in appearance, differences in drape spacing and related fabric properties and their somatotype.
