Introduction 5 working days a week and wellness trends, that allows more consumers to actively enjoy outdoor activities, has led to a rapid growth in the outdoor clothing market. Buyers of outdoor clothing perceive them as causal and functional clothes that they can wear comfortably in daily life as well as for outdoor activities such as hiking and fishing (Park et al., 2002). There is an increased interest in outdoor activities by seniors who engage in various hobbies for health. Active seniors are energetic retirees who actively enjoy their retirement. They have emerged as a new consumer group in the inactive culture market (such as travel and the performing arts) due to their enjoyment of activities (such as language study, computer education, cosmetic/beauty treatments and sports) that is different from previous generations of older people (Korean Economic glossary, 2014). The most striking characteristic of active seniors is their generous investment in self-development based on secure assets and retirement income. Many studies have been done on senior citizens based on age that have examined body types (Ahn, 2003; Kim, 1995; Lee & Kim, 2007) and original clothing forms (Lee, 2003; Nam & Choi, 2002; Moon, 2008). However, these studies did not fully reflect the needs of active seniors interested in clothing. Additionally, most studies were conducted on female seniors with few studies on male seniors. It is necessary to accept and understand changes in the body types and physical functions of seniors body types and physical functions that accompany age and changing aesthetic sense with styles that are differentiated from existing elderly groups in regards to clothing for active seniors. A study on older men's body classification (Kim & Lee, 2003) indicated that the characteristics of older men's body types were not fully considered because a clothing sizing system was not separately established for older people. Most outdoor clothing companies produced patterns for a young generation. This study was conducted on the outdoor jacket wearing pattern of active male seniors. The results of this study can be used to design outdoor jackets that are produced at a reasonable price with a wearable function useful for outdoor activities and daily life.

목적: 본 연구는 노안의 직업과 굴절상태에 따른 누진다초점 안경 착용 실태를 분석하고자 실시되었다. 방법: 2008년 1월부터 2008년 12월까지 부천과 서울지역의 안경원을 방문한 40~70대 노안 가운데 노인성 안질환과 전신질환이 없고 누진다초점 안경을 착용하는 332명을 대상으로 선정하여 원거리 굴절이상도를 확인한 후 굴절이상이 있는 경우 원용굴절이상을 완전교정하고 평소 주시거리에서 근용가입도를 측정하였다. 결과: 연령과 가입도의 크기가 유의한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났으며(p=0.001), 직업과 가입도의 크기도 유의한 차이가 있는 것으로 조사되었다(p=0.001). 직업별 누진다초점 안경 착용률은 주부가 46.1%, 사무직이 24.1%, 공무원이 13.0%로 주부가 가장 많이 착용하는 것으로 조사되었고, 굴절상태에 따른 누진다초점 안경 착용률은 정시가 18.4%, 직난시가 7.8%, 도난시가 35.8%, 사난시가 17.8%, 단순굴절이상안이 20.2%로 난시안에서는 도난시가 누진다초점 안경을 가장 많이 착용하는 것으로 조사되었다. 결론: 누진다초점 안경을 착용하는 노안 가운데 주부와 사무직(공무원 포함)이 상당한 비율을 차지하고 있었고, 굴절상태에서는 정시와 도난시안의 착용률이 높았다.

The purpose of this studyis to conduce the survey of three groups of college women living in different residential districts, Seoul, Gyeonggi-do and a district, each other, analyze the actual condition of wearing blue jeans, comparative investigate actual condition in each residential district of wearing blue jeans and cognition by change of crotch length and trend through comparison of cognition on dressed blue jeans with short crotch length. By which investigation, it was intended to understand their condition and propose of blue jeans as may offer fit with short crotch length. As the result of this study, it presented college women had hipbone blue jeans in order of 2～3 and more than 4 in all of residential districts, they purchased hipbone blue jeans with crotch length in order of for middle crotch(23 ㎝) and short crotch(21㎝) commonly in all of residential districts, and they care a lot for exposing back waist and hip of hipbone blue jeans without reference to residential district. They had a bad feeling for exposure, and as an alternative to deal with this, they answered mostly on ‘wearing hipbone underwear’ or ‘wearing long upper garment’, and there was significant difference between residential districts in silhouette and exterior fitness of crotch length among important factors when wearing hipbone blue jeans.
