A Study on Characteristics of Different Obese Women's Body Types
초록
This study was carried out on 132 obese women who satisfied both of the conditions for the obesity: over 1.6 in Rohrer index and over 90cm in bust girth. The purpose of the study was to classify the body types of the obese women and find out their respective characteristics. The characteristics of the body shape were as follows. The one was that the height of the front waist was higher than that of the back waist. The other was that the depth of the front abdomen was high, which implies the protruding of the abdominal region. Five factors were extracted as the result of the factor analysis. Body types were classified 4 types(type 1 : long upper torso, type 2 : obese torso, type 3 : short and less upper torso, type 4 : obese arms and legs) according to the cluster analysis.
