Analysis of Human Figures by Using Cross Sections of Aged Females
The main objective of our study is to measure and analyze 3-D shapes of the aged from the view point of planning more comfortable garments. Fifty-two females aged from sixty to seventy-eight were measured three- dimensionally and six cross sections were extracted from the trunk part of each subject. A set of geometrical properties were calculated from each cross section as variables for principal component analysis. The results of the analysis showed that forty-eight percent of the total variance as the 1st component was interpreted as size factor in which volume around the abdomen was prominent. The other twenty-five percent of remaining variances, which were explained as 2nd, 3rd and 4th components were interpreted as the variation of the shoulder shape and that of the posture in the side view. These interpretations were determined considering the total balance of the whole body. With these interpretations, we could extract typical body types and schematic views of aged female bodies, named as follows; Obese, Skinny, Roundness, Thin, Straight back, Stoop, Lean forward and Lean backward. A 3-D dress form model which was generated by using body types will help make better garments which correspond to individuals. And such a garment pattern for the aged will be useful for the education of inclusive design for garments.
