Abstract
The purpose of this study is to establish initial data for developing a well-fitted pattern by categorizing and analyzing body types based on 3D body scanning data of women in their 30s. The results are as follows: First, according to analysis and comparison of 3D measurements from the 5th (2004) and 6th (2010) Human body measurement investigation conducted by Size Korea, the vertical lengths taken in 2010, which indicate the height measurements of body, was much higher than that of in 2004, and the values related to body volume and degree of obesity such as width, thickness and circumference showed lower values in 2010, compared to the measurements taken in 2004. Second, analysis by age group based on 3D measurements from the 6th investigation presented that women in their early 30s have the highest values in height and length measurements, and their width, thickness and circumference measurements continue to increase as they get closer to their late 30s. Third, according to the results of the factor analysis, there are five body factors: Factor 1, the `body volume and horizontal measurement`; Factor 2, the `vertical torso length`; Factor 3, the `size of shoulder`; Factor 4, the `upper body length`; Factor 5, the `hip length`. Fourth, the results of the cluster analysis showed that there are three distinctive body types. The largest number of the study subjects was related to Type 2 (43.20%), followed by Type 1 (25.84%) and Type 3 (20.80%), respectively. For distribution of age groups by body type, Type 1 was most common among the early 30s and Type 2 was evenly distributed across all 30s, while Type 3 appeared most frequently among the late 30s. Therefore, body measurements should be divided into early, middle and late 30s in accordance with changes in their bodies and reflected in making patterns.
