The purpose of this study is to analyze the body type characteristics of tall adult men aged 20 to 69 years to present base material on body dimensions for men's clothing companies. The research method comprised statistical analysis of 3D measurements after selecting items from the 8th Korean human body size survey related to the torso body types of 495 adult men who were at least 178cm tall. As a result, six factors were extracted, and the total explanatory variable of the entire factor was shown to be 80.499%. As a result of cluster analysis using this as an independent variable, three types were derived: Type 1, "a normal body type with an oval cross-sectional shape" (37.6%), with a larger vertical size and an oval chest cross-sectional shape compared to other types; Type 2: a "cylindrical thick body shape" (31.1%), which is the first stage of BMI obesity, with narrow shoulders and a cylindrical shape with a round cross-section; Type 3, "a body shape with broad shoulders and developed chest parts" (31.3%), with a horizontal size similar to Type 2 above the waist, but similar to Type 1 below. The results of this study are expected to be used as a basis for a clothing dimension system and clothing development for tall men reflecting the characteristics of the torso.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the characteristics of older women's torso shapes. The data was collected from the 7th Size Korea, which featured 453 women between the ages of 70-85. A factor analysis was performed of 31 indices, including seventeen based on height and length measurements, eight based on circumference measurements, and six based on torso flattening. The torso shape was determined from seven factors: torso flatness ratio, shape of the side upper torso, vertical size of upper torso, silhouette of the torso, silhouette of the bust and abdomen, shape of the hip, and the vertical size of the back of upper torso. The torso shapes of older women were classified into three types based on the results of the factor analysis. Type 1 is called the large rectangle type. They have the lowest degree of forward bend in the torso, the largest vertical and horizontal size, a round body shape, and the upper torso is gently curved. Type 2 is called the inverted triangle type. They also have a round body shape, but the abdominal size is relatively small compared to the size of the bust, and also have an open and drooping bust, and the biggest degree of forward bend in the torso. Type 3 is called the square type. They are characterized by drooping hips, the smallest vertical and horizontal sizes, and the gentlest curve of the torso.

Based on the method of marking the size of children's wear suggested by Korean Agency for Technology and Standards, this study classified the heights of school-aged girls by 10cm. The purpose of this study is to provide foundational material by analyzing and comparing the characteristics of torso types. The author analyzed the height section of 130 to 139.9cm, which the majority of subjects fell into, and concerning the method of research, this study statistically analyzed body sizes and calculated items related to 162 persons' torso types out of the 6th Korean Body Size Data. According to the results, eight factors were extracted, and the total explanatory variate of all the factors was found to be 81.93%. According to the results of cluster analysis with it as an independent variable, three types were drawn. Type 1 (41.4%) was found to be the thickest in the torso and round and severely curved in the sectional form of the circumference item. RegardingType 2 (25.9%), the horizontal size of the torso is similar to that of Type 1: the upper body is long, and the sectional form of the circumference item is oval-shaped. Regarding Type 3 (32.7%), mean values are similar to those of Type 2 overall: the upper body is short, and the body is the most upright. In conclusion, according to the results of analyzing torso types, the types and average values indicate significant differences in the height section of 130~139.9cm. This implies that when making ready-made clothes, it is necessary to come up with the sizes of more detailed items in relation with height. It is expected that the findings of this study will be utilized as basic data when children's wear companies develop prototypes and use grading variances according to the variations of size.

본 연구는 복부가 비만한 노년 여성의 의복의 패턴설계를 위한 기초 자료를 제공하기 위한 목적으로 수행되었으며 이들의 체형특성을 분석하고 일반 노년 여성과의 상반신 및 하반신 체형특성의 차이점을 파악하고자 하였다. 연구대상은 60세 이상 서울 및 서울 근교에 거주하는 노년 여성 318명-복부비만 251명, 일반인 67명-이며 직접측정을 실시하였다. 복부비만의 기준은 허리엉덩이둘레비(WHR)가 0.85 이상인 피험자로 하였다. 높이항목, 두께항목, 너비항목, 길이항목 및 몸무게로 구성된 총 33개 측정치 및 측정치를 토대로 한 계산치 및 지수치를 이용하여 기술통계분석, 상관분석, T검정을 실시함으로써 이들의 복부돌출요인에 따라 의복구성에 고려해야 할 체형특성을 파악하고, 이를 일반 노년 여성과 비교분석하였다. 연구결과 복부비만 노인은 일반 노인보다 높이항목과 어깨너비 등 어깨관련항목을 제외한 두께, 둘레, 길이 항목에서 유의한 차이를 보이며, 로러지수와 버벡지수, 체간부의 편평률에서도 유의차를 보여 전체적 인 비만도가 높으며 체간부 형태가 원통형을 나타낸다. 또한 복부비만 노년 여성의 경우 상관관계 분석결과 엉덩이둘레보다 배둘레나 엉덩이외포둘레가 패턴 설계에 필요한 주요 항목들과 더 높은 선형적 상관성을 보이므로 패턴의 기준항목 설정시 이를 고려하여 제작하여야 할 것이다.
