본 연구의 목적은 비만 남자고등학생의 교복바지에 대한 착용만족도를 높이고 맞음새가 좋은 교복바지의 패턴개발을 위한 자료를 제공하는 데 있다. 이 연구는 사이즈코리아(2015)의 직접 측정 데이터 중 BMI 지수가 18.5이상인 17~19세 남자 745명의 데이터를 분석 자료로 활용하였다. 비만 남자고등학생의 체형분류를 위하여 표준체형과의 신체치수 비교를 위해 기술통계를 실시하였으며, 비만 남자고등학생의 체형분류를 위한 요인분석, 군집분석, 분산분석 등의 통계방법이 사용되었다. 그 결과, 비 만 남자고등학생의 체형분류 요인으로는 하반신 부피요인, 하반신 길이 요인, 복부 부피요인, 밑위 길이요인의 4개 요인이 도출되었다. 또 군집 분석의 결과로 4가지의 비만체형 유형이 분류되었다. 유형1은 분류된 비만체형 유형 중 하반신의 길이가 가장 짧고 왜소한 비만체형이며 유 형2는 비만 유형 중 허리둘레가 가늘고 복부의 부피가 작아 약간 왜소 한 비만체형이다. 유형3은 하반신 길이는 보통 이상이며, 하지와 하반 신 둘레, 복부의 부피 등의 모든 항목에서 가장 큰 값을 보여 부피가 큰 고도 비만체형이다. 유형4는 4가지 비만 유형 중 하반신 길이는 가 장 길고, 복부의 비만 정도가 유독 큰 복부 비만체형으로 정의할 수 있으며, 비만 체형의 특징을 반영한 교복바지의 설계방법에 대한 후속 연구가 진행될 예정이다.

The purpose of this study was to classify the upper torso body types of obese Korean adult women using the 7th Korea National Anthropometric Study data and compare the body type differences according to three age groups: 20s～30s, 40s～50s, and 60s. A total of 548 adult women whose BMI was in the obese range of 25 or higher and whose age ranged from 20s to 60s were selected from the anthropometric database. Twenty-nine body measurements related to torso and arm areas important for torso and sleeve pattern development were chosen. Five drop values by differences between bust, waist, and hip circumferences were also chosen for analysis. The number of obese women increased with age. The results revealed seven factors according to the factor analysis and three obese body types based on the cluster analysis. Body type 1 (47.3% of obese women) was characterized by narrow shoulders, a small or medium torso, and a straight waist. Body type 2 (42.4% of obese women) was characterized by a defined waist and a larger lower torso than upper torso. Body type 3 (10.3% of obese women), the largest obese body type among the three types, was characterized by a large bust, large abdomen area, and long upper torso. Women in their 20s to 30s were most likely to have body type 2, women in their 40s to 50s were evenly distributed between body types 2 and 3, and women in their 60s were most likely to have body type 1.

As a preliminary research of body characteristics analysis of Korean obese woman, this study aims to select optimal obesity judgment tools for reliable sampling of obese subjects from 2,425 female measurement data out of 2004 Size Korea project’s raw data. From previous researches related to obesity, 7 obesity judgment tools were chosen. 2007 obesity rate(26.3%) of Korean female adults was refered in selecting optimal obesity judgment criteria in the study. The results are as follows. Firstly, it was verified that BMI was the most suitable in judging and sampling the obese subjects by the percentile analysis. Röhrer index was also reliable in grouping the obese subjects from a population. Secondly, it was concluded that the obesity ratios of relative weight 120 and higher group, Röhrer index 1.6 and higher group and waist girth 80cm and higher group were the most similar to obesity rate of Korean female adults by 2007 National Health & Nutrition Survey. Thirdly, 30 direct measurements, age, 2 drop values and 6 ratios of 7 groups by the obesity judgment tools showed the significance each other at p<0.001 level. On the other hand, “bust point to bust point” and “waist to hip length” measurements didn’t show the significant differences among 7 groups. Conclusively, 4 to 5 satisfactions out of 7 obesity judgment criteria were adequate and sufficient in sampling the obese subjects. If it is needed the strict criteria for judging the obesity, 5 satisfactions and higher group will be the best choice as the obese subjects. However 4 satisfactions and higher group generally, will be adequate for sampling of the obese subjects.
