다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In this study, the trunks of adult females were classified into several kinds of somatotypes and their distribution according to the age groups was shown. The subjects were 343 females of 18 to 49 year-old. The results were as follows: 1. The trunk somatotypes were classified into 5 types. From factor scores and anthropometric values according to each somatotype, it was shown that the somatotype was classified by the relation between the variables of vertical size and those of horizontal size. 2, As the characteristic of the classified somatotype was represented by the scale and its lateral silhouette was suggested, the characteristic of the classified somatotype was Quickly undertook. 3. By suggesting the canonical discriminant function with the unstardardized canonical coefficient, individual trunk somatotype could be discriminated from the measured anthropometric data without modifying the data. 4. From the frequency distribution of the somatotypes in each age group, the dominant somatotype of each age group was shown differently.
