In this study, a survey focusing on the status of clothing interest, inconveniences resulting from clothing, preferred design items, etc. was conducted on 364 elderly women to suggest aesthetically and functionally appropriate indoor wear design for at home elderly women aged 60 years or older. The survey results showed that in general, the respondents' interest in clothing was high, and more respondents in their 70s or older had difficulty in the action of opening and closing. With respect to considerations when purchasing clothes, color was considered more important than design as respondent's age increased, and size was regarded as the most important factor especially among those in their 80s. The preferred top styles were T-shirts and blouses among those in their 60s and 70s, and T-shirts and shirts among those in their 80s. The preferred sleeve lengths were "below the elbow" and "above the wrist" in all age groups. The preferred sleeve hem type was "tightening" in all age groups. The most preferred bottom styles were "straight-leg pants" and "elastic waistband." This study suggests the design items of indoor wear, including top, bottom, and overgarment for warmth, appropriate for elderly women at home based on the survey results. The study results are expected to serve as basic data necessary for the revitalization of the clothing industry for elderly women.

본 연구에서는 노화에 따른 노년 여성 체형을 보정해주고 체형변화를 지연시킬 수 있는 보정용 ZIGTECHnology 의복을 개발하고자 하였다. 척추의 만곡 등 노화 및 질병에 의해 발생하는 어깨, 등, 허리의 굽어짐 등의 증상별 체형을 분석하여 증상을 완화시키고 체형의 변화를 지연시킬 수 있는 움직임이 용이한 노년 여성용 보정 의복을 개발 제시하고자 하였다. 개발된 ZIGTECHnology 의복 디자인 1, 2, 3에 대한 착의 평가 결과, 기능성에서는 디자인 1이 등각도를 3.17° 정도 완화시켜 우수한 것으로 평가되었으나 맞음새 등을 고려하였을 때 디자인 3이 가장 우수한 것으로 평가되었다. 노년 여성의 의복에서는 신체적 단점을 보완해주는 의복의 필요성이 증대되므로 지속적인 체형완화 장치의 개발이 이루어져야 할 것으로 생각된다.
