다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

For the purpose of providing basic data for the development of size specifications for middle-aged women in Busan, one dimensional measurements were made with the subjects, ranging 45 to 59 in age. The following are the conclusions: 1) According to ages, the middle and elder groups of the middle-aged women shared similar body types, having shorter height, more lowered bust, and increased upper-body depth and girth factors, compared with the earlier middle-aged women group. But the thigh girth of the elder middle-aged group (age: 55∼59) was the lowest, maybe owing to the aged lower-body muscles. 2) In the comparison with national averages, armhole girth, elbow girth, wrist girth, back waist length, side neck point-B.P.-waist line, and sleeve length showed great differences. This is problematic in that the national size standards fail to reflect each region`s peculiar body type characteristics. 3) Even though body types were classified according to drop value criteria suggested by KS specifications, 23.05% did not belong to the criteria. They were thus classified as A. N, and H body types, following the distribution of the present experiment. 4) In consideration of the economy factor of the production and sales of the clothes industry, the combinations of height and chest girth for the middle-aged Busan women were as follows: 155cm-85cm (Body Type A), 150cm-88cm (Body Type N). and 155cm-94cm (Body Type H).
