| Background This study attempted to analyze the lower body shape of 60-69-year-old males using index values based on height and weight, and set up clusters to present the characteristics of each body type. Through this, we would like to present basic data necessary for making ready-to-wear clothes suitable for the lower body of elderly men in 60s.
Methods This study analyzed 30 items related to the lower body of the direct measurement data of 142 elderly men aged 60-69 years from the 7th Korean human body size survey data of Size Korea. The SPSS 26.0 program was used for analysis.
Result The items related to height, width, circumference, length and weight of elderly men in their 60s all showed significant positive (+) correlation. However, it was found that the thickness item had no significant correlation with height. There was a very high correlation between height and lateral leg length. The lower body shape factor was extracted as the lateral size of the lower body to body weight, the height and length of the lower body to height, and the thickness of the lower body to body weight. The body type was classified into two types: one with a longer lower body compared to height and moderate obesity, and one with shorter lower body compared to height and higher obesity at the abdomen and waist.
Conclusion As body shape change increases with aging, it is thought that a study on the pants prototype and size system for elderly men in their 60s should be conducted according to the results of the analysis of the lower body shape. In addition, it is thought that it will be important to analyze the lower body shape and standardize it according to the development of ready-to-wear clothes to improve the fit of the lower body clothing. |
