Objective: The objective of the study is to analyze adult men's somatotype characteristics, age range from 20s to 50s comparing the direct anthropometric measurement values and to provide the basis information for developing clothing patterns. Background: The comparative study among the age groups is very fundamental to understand the body characteristics of each subjects group. Therefore, comparison of body measurements in age groups was applied in this study. Method: The anthropometric data from the $5^{th}$ Anthropometry of Size Korea(2004) and $6^{th}$ Anthropometry of Size Korea(2010) were applied for the data analysis. Results: As a result, the chest depth/chest width index(the value of chest depth divided by chest width) was increased and the waist depth/waist width index was decreased in all age groups. In addition, the hip depth/hip width index was decreased in age of 20's and 50's. This means that the chest width and hip width were decreased and the waist width were increased. From the data of the 5th Size Korea, the obese men(BMI: 25~30) in the 50s showed the highest percentage of 47.1%, and 44.8% of obese men(BMI: 25~30) in the 40s recorded the highest rate base on the data of the 6th Size Korea. Conclusion: It is concluded that the some differences were showed between the 5th anthropometric data and the 6th data. In particular, obesity tendencies of men in their 20's and 30's were observed significantly compared to other age groups. Application: These findings from the study can be utilized men's wear design and construction that reflect body characteristics.

인간의 발 형태와 보행특성은 보행습관과 질병에 의해 변형되어진다. 특히, 노인의 발은 장단기의 신발 착용이나 퇴행성관절염으로 인해 심한 발의 변형이 나타나, 청 장년층과는 발의 형태나 유형이 다르다. 그러므로 노인신발 설계 및 화형개발을 하기 위해서는 노인발의 정확한 인체 측정치와 발 형태분석 및 유형분류가 필요한 실정이다. 그럼에도 불구하고 노인신발 제작에 노인 발의 인체 측정치의 부재로, 청·장년충의 형을 그대로 사용하고 있는 것이 업계의 현실이다. 본 연구에서는 과학적 노인신발 제작을 위하여 발의 49개 인체 측정부위를 남녀노인 총 252명을 대상으로 하여 측정하였고, 발 너비 대 길이지수와 족선각을 이용하여 형태 및 유형 을 분류, 분석하였다. 연구결과 노인의 발은 젊은 청년에 비하여 가늘고 긴, 즉 세장화 경향을 보인다. 이는 고령 남성보다도 여성에게 더 두드러진다. 본 연구는 노인신발 설계를 위해 화형개발에 필요한 자료를 제공하고, 인간공학적 노인신발을 디자인하는데 활용되리라 생각된다.

Objectives: This was to examine and explore the elements of Size Korea 6th 3D head anthropometric database and to provide basic information for the selection of respirators in Korea. Methods: This was a pilot study for the first year of work in a two-year-project initiated at KOSHA in 2021. 3D head dimensions data were obtained from the Size Korea Center managing the Size Korea 6th 3D national anthropometry survey databases. The 3D head dimensions data, including 45 dimensions, were used in line with ISO standards (e.g., ISO/TS 16976-2) for examinations, comparisons, statistical analyses, etc. Results: A total of 3,088 subjects were finally determined in this study. The main features were: Male subjects were 52.5%; the highest age group was 15-29 at 36.7%; unhealthy weight group based on BMI was 31.7%; and survey area was the capital region. For the 6th 3D head dimensions data with 45 items, the means and standard deviations for 'Face length' were 115.9±7.5 cm for males and 107.3±6.9 cm for females respectively while those for 'Face width' item were not available since there was no such item in the data. Numerous findings were discussed accordingly. Conclusions: This study showed that there were likely requirements for improvements in the 6th 3D head anthropometric data as follows: Standardization of Korean and English terms; addition of head dimensions items missed in the Size Korea survey; and reliability of generalizability for subjects, suggesting that the study results can be used for further studies or improvement of respirator selection in Korea.

The purpose of this study was to offer objective information about standard of selecting and training fashion models by verifying anthropometric characteristics and comparing with general women. Total forty eight fashion models (M=20.08yr ; SD=1.7) were recruited by convenience sampling. Thirty eight items of participants were measured by manual of International Society for the Advancement of Kinanthropometric (ISAK). Mean and standard deviation of 38 items and also factor of somatotype (endomorph, mesomorph, ectomorph) were calculated. In the result, somatotype of fashion model was endomorphic ectomorphy, less muscle and taller height. Conclusionally, this study indicated that there is less mesomorphy rating related to muscle quantity, bone mass in somatoplot. However, it is necessary to provide the program enhancing the physical activity with model department.
