Abstract ▼ AI-Helper

Anthropometric studies and multicultural research on body changes are fundamental and important data for domestic apparel industry and for globalization of women's clothing marketing. The objective of this study is to compare the general body measurements and shoulder angles of Korean and U. S. elderly women to supply basic data for the apparel design. The anthropometric data was collected including both direct and indirect measurements of 272 women over the age of 55 in Korean (subject = 123) and the U.S (subject = 149). The statistical methods used for the analysis of measurement data are the factor and cluster analysis respectively. The results of the factor analysis indicated that 5 factors can be extracted in Korean and 4 factors can be extracted in the U. S. from 15 body measurements to explain the variance. The results of cluster analysis by shoulder slope angle and forward displacement of the shoulder of Korean and the U. S. women classified them in three groups, cluster 1, cluster 2 and cluster 3 respectively.

문제 정의

The objective of this study was to research data consisting of linear measurements, shoulder angles, and general body types of Korean and U.S elderly women to describe fundamental anthropometric data for the apparel industry. The anthropometric data includes both direct and indirect measurements of 272 women over the age of 55 in Korea and the U.
These studies addressed body images based on cultural ideals of beauty for young women and the apparel price and quality; no studies on body measurements focused on shoulder angles of women aged fiftyfive and older. Therefore, the objective of this study is to compare the general body measurements and shoulder angles of Korean and U. S. elderly women to supply basic data for the apparel design.

00 and does not exceed 25% of the total variance. After researching anthropometric characteristics between Korean and the U.S. using factor analysis, the cluster analysis is performed to classify subjects by shoulder shape. The method of cluster analysis is hierarchical cluster analysis using Ward’s minimum variance.
women from 15 body measurements to explain the variance. The results of cluster analysis by shoulder slope angle and forward displacement of the shoulder of Korean and the U. S. classified them in three groups, cluster 1, cluster 2 and cluster 3 respectively. Based on these results, differences exist both among and between Korean and U.
To clarify body characteristics, factor analysis was performed of the measurements. The results of the factor analysis indicated that 5 factors can be extracted in Korean and 4 factors can be extracted in the U. S. women from 15 body measurements to explain the variance. The results of cluster analysis by shoulder slope angle and forward displacement of the shoulder of Korean and the U.
To clarify body characteristics, factor analysis was performed of the measurements. The results of the factor analysis indicated that 5 factors can be extracted in Korean and 4 factors can be extracted in the U.
women respectively. To clarify the body characteristics, factor analysis was performed using the mean of measurements. For Korean women, the result of factor analysis indicated that of 5 factors extracted from 12 body measurements, these factors account for 76.

대상 데이터

S (subject = 149). A total sixteen body measurements (3 circumference, 3 length, 2 depth, 4 width, 2 calculated items, 2 angles) were taken on each women. The measured items and calculated items are shown in [Figure 1].
The period of data collection was 2000, June to October. Cornell University, the University of Colorado, the University of Minnesota, and the University of California at Davis research groups took the measurement data for the U.S women from 149 Caucasian subjects.
Subjects measured for this study included 123 women in the area of Kwangju, Chonnam and 149 women in the U. S. over the age of 55. The period of data collection was 2000, June to October.

이론/모형

The measured items and calculated items are shown in [Figure 1]. Direct and indirect measurements were taken using R. Martin measuring tools. Angle measurements were calculated from linear measurements taken using a device designed at Cornell that measured the distance of the acromion from the cervicale in the horizontal direction (Ruler C), the vertical direction (Ruler A), and the forward direction (Ruler B).
The statistical methods used for the analysis of measurement data are the factor and cluster analysis respectively. The analysis of variance and Duncan test is used to clarify the characteristics of each somatotype. T-tests are used to compare mean differences between the Korean measurements and the American ones.
using factor analysis, the cluster analysis is performed to classify subjects by shoulder shape. The method of cluster analysis is hierarchical cluster analysis using Ward’s minimum variance. The number of clusters was decided by root-mean-square standard deviation, semi-partial R-squared, distance between two clusters.

성능/효과

The T-test comparing of body measurements between Korean and the U.S women showed significant differences (p ≤ .001) among center back length, back width, waist to hip length, waist to floor length, bust and hip circumference, Ruler A, B, C, and forward angle of the shoulder.

. Therefore, further studies to obtain the data of the body measurement from wider regional subjects in Korea according to the age group are required.
