Research On The Body Build Of Middle-and-old-aged Female In Chengdu

In this research, the middle-and-old-aged females in Chengdu from age 45 to 60 were targeted for the measurement and study of the body build. On the basis of summarizing and generalizing the existing theories on body build, the research selected given subject as subject investigated, for its obvious pertinence. Through further studying on the segment group and extracting practical conclusions at last, the work can supply some basic information and clue for further study and clothing developing, and also has contributed to promoting the development of costume industry.Through the static measuring of human body for 200 middle-and-old-aged females in Chengdu from age 45 to 60, who selected as samples by using random sampling method, data including 36 indexes of body build were collected. The chief measurements and contents aimed at the human torso over the hip. The data were analyzed by statistical means of description analysis, correlation and regression analysis, factor and K-Means cluster analysis, and four types of body build indexes were computed based on the data, then the characteristics of body build about the middle-and-old-aged female in Chengdu were described qualitatively and quantitatively in different respects. Further applicable research based on these conclusions. the data was transacted with SPSS software. By combining qualitative analysis with quantitative analysis, this paper draws conclusions well.According to computed four types of body build indexes, it indicated that obesity possess the research object. Compared with the average level of national females from age 45 to 60, the middle-and-old-aged females in Chengdu are shorter and wider, look fatter. The increase of torso circumferences lead to the chief changes of body builds. The lateral factor has the biggest contribution to body build; the cumulating contribution rates of the torso factor and the fat factor increase with age.In accordance with the existing national standard set for body build classification, the proportion of type B in the middle-and-old-aged females in Chengdu is over two fifths, the proportion of type A is only 7.21%, as well as the type C over 10%. Based on the existing body build classification, the research objects show a larger number of fat body, which is different from the average level of adult female in the nation and three adjacent provinces.Using correlation and regression analysis,15 linear regression relationships about the main parts of body were obtained. Based on the body characteristics, a new standard suggested for the body build classification that includes 5 types was established, which expressed as ZY, ZA, ZB, ZC, ZD in turn. The coverage rate of the new classification reaches 99.44%. Based on the classified results, the research developed a amendatory draping model 153/91 Type ZB, and set a new body prototype special for the middle-and-old-aged females in Chengdu.
