1. An International Comparative Study of 3D Scanned Female Anthropometric Data
The purpose of this research is to provide useable data for application in American and Korean apparel industry. This data was developed by analyzing information on Korean and American boy sizes obtained from "SizeUSA Project" and "Size Korea Project".
The Subjects were 6,306 American females and 1988 Korean females over 18 years old. Thirty different types of measurements and 14 computed values that were considered critical in making garments were selected based on applicability. In addition, descriptive analysis, percentile analysis and t-test were used as statistical methods for analyzing measurements and computed value between the two countries.
The results were as follows.;
It was determined that American women are larger and bigger than Korean women in all measurement and computed values except for "Shoulder Slope". We verified American women had a distinct tendency towards obesity.
Through the comparison of drop values, ratio values and BMI comparison between the two countries, we determined that American women’s body figures were more shapley than Korean women. American women had risen hips and long leg length for their height compared Korean woman. Furthermore, Korean women’s back shapes were flatter than American women, BMI values indicated American women were relatively over-weighted than Korean women.
Finally, t-test of principal body dimension in the same Bust Girth Groups revealed that some of Korean females’ body measurements such as "Waist Girth", "Crotch Length Total", "Cross Back Width", etc. were larger than Americans in same Bust Girth Groups. American women were relatively tall and dramatic in shape of body while Korean women were short and flat in shape of body.
2. An International Comparative Study of 3D Scanned Male Anthropometric Data
The purpose of this research is to provide useable data for application in the American and Korean apparel industries. This data was developed by analyzing information on Korean and American body measurements obtained from the "SizeUSA" and "Size Korea" projects.
Measurement data was gathered for 3,691 American and 1,945 Korean male subjects over 18 years of age. Thirty different types of measurements and 4 computed values that were considered critical in making garments were selected for the comparison based on applicability. In addition, descriptive analysis, percentile analysis, and t-tests were used as statistical methods for comparing the measurements and computed values between the two countries.
It was determined that American men were larger and bigger than Korean men in all measurements and computed values, except for Shoulder Slope. Based on BMI values, we determined that American men had a distinct tendency towards being overweight.
Through the comparison of drop values (i.e. the difference between Hip and Bust Girths or Hip and Waist Girths), Body Mass Index (BMI) between the two countries, we determined that American men’s figures were shapelier than Korean men’s. American men had higher hip heights and longer leg lengths for their height compared to Korean woman. Furthermore, the back shapes of Korean men were flatter than American men and BMI values indicated American men were relatively more overweight than Korean men.
Finally, t-tests of principal body dimensions in the same Bust Girth Groups revealed that some of the Korean males’ body measurements such as Waist Girth, Crotch Length Total, Cross Back Width, etc. were larger than Americans in the same Bust Girth Groups. American men were relatively tall and dramatic in shape of body while Korean men were short and flat in shape of body.
