Abstract

The manual measurements of 182 unmarried women subjects in their 20s was classified 4-breast types. For the breast type classification, 4 factors were identified, such as overall breast factor, upper breast internal shape factor, breast volume factor, and lower breast external shape factor. The breast shapes were 'breast with well-grown upper part', 'flat breast', 'breast with well-grown lower part', and 'protruded breast'. The breast types can be differentiated in 10 items of actual anthropometric dimension the length between frontal neck point and nipple point, length between lateral neck point and nipple point, length between the breast inner points, nipple to nipple breadth, diameter below the breast, inner depth of breast, outer length of breast, length below the breast, length between breast outer point and upper breast point, and contour line length below the breast.

20대 미혼 여성 182명의 직접 계측치를 이용한 유방유형 분류에 유방전체 형상 요인, 유방상부내측형상 요인, 유방볼륨 요인, 유방하부외측형상 요인 등 4가지 요인이 추출되었다. 군집분석을 통해 '상부발달 유방', '밋밋한 유방', '하부 발달 유방', '돌출한 유방' 등 4유형의 유방유형으로 분류하였다. 유방유형은 목앞점~젖꼭지점길이, 목옆점~젖꼭지점길이, 유방안쪽점 사이간격, 젖꼭지 간격, 유방아래직경, 유방내측깊이, 유방바깥쪽길이, 유방아래길이, 젖가슴가쪽점~젖가슴위쪽점길이, 젖가슴 밑 윤곽선길이 등 10개 항목으로 판별 가능하다.
