This study suggests apparel sizing systems for obese women in their twenties to fifties. Size Korea body measurement data were used for sampling the obese subjects by obesity judgment indices. A total of 7 obesity judgment indices frequently used in the clothing field were inspected and the measurement data of 499 females defined as "obese" by over 5 obesity judgment indices were analyzed. The results of the study were as follows: A total of 2,212 female body measurement data for the Size Korea Project were collected. These were compared with the 499 data of the obese women in the study. Except for all heights and some lengths correlating with heights, the measurements of obese women were larger than the entire group of females. Bust girth, hip girth, and height were selected as control dimensions of the outerwear covering the upper body; waist girth and hip girth were selected as control dimensions of the outerwear covering the lower body. In each crosstabulation table, 3cm pitches and 5cm pitches by bust girth, waist girth, and hip girth were compared in the aspects of coverage and coverage efficiency. Finally, sizing charts for outerwear covering the upper body and the lower body of obese women were established in the study through the comparison of the coverage and the coverage efficiency. These Size charts were given by 5cm pitches as final sizing systems. Size number of outerwear covering the upper body was 10 and size number of outerwear covering the lower body was 9. In addition, the body measurements of control dimensions and referable dimensions for making garments are given.

This paper proposed the sizing system for womens lower clothes. The sizing system was classified according to 4 body types and 5 age groups. The size intervals of waist girth, hip girth, stature, and slacks length were 3cm, 4cm, 8cm, and 5cm respectively. Frequency distribution analyzed with waist girth, hip girth, and stature showed that the most frequent sizes were 86-100-158 in the fattest-medium length H type, 77-92-158 in the fat-short M type, 68-92-158 in the balanced-long A type, and 65-88-158 in the balanced-medium length A type. The number of the sizes for lower clothes, which had frequencies more than 4∼5%, was 33 and each size was presented with slacks length, skirt length, thigh girth, and knee girth. Also frequency distribution analyzed with waist girth, hip girth, and slacks length showed that the most frequent sizes were 86-100-90 in the fattest-medium length H type, 74-96-90 in the fat-short M type, 68-92-90 in the balanced-long A type, and 65-88-90 in the balanced-medium length A type. The sizing system classified by age group had 21 cases in the early twenties, 21 cases in the late twenties, 18 cases in the early thirties, 16 cases in the late thirties, and 8 cases in the forties. This result will contribute to clothing fitness and efficient production.

산업화로 인한 급속한 경제성장과 증가하는 여성들의 사회진출은 의생활에서 보다 편 하고 간소화된 생활양식을 추구하게 되고, 이에따라 의복의 구입에 있어서도 맞춤복보다 는 시간, 경제면에서 유리한 기성복을 선호하게 되었다. 불특정다수를 위한 기성복의 생산에 있어서 개개인의 체형에 보다 적합성이 좋은 제품의 개발을 위해 다수인의 다항 목계측치에 근거한 치수체계의 설정은 무엇보다 중요한 문제가 된다. 우리나라에서는 1979년 공업진흥청에 의해 제 1차 국민표준체위조사가 실시되었으며, 1986년에는 제 2차 조사가 실시되어 그 결과를 토대로 한국 공업규격의 의류치수 규격이 제정 발표되었다. 그러나 이것은 연령에 따른 신체적 변화를 고려한 체형분류가 되어 있지 않으며, 제품 호수에 따라 동일한 간격을 둔 체계였다. 1992년에는 제 3차 국민표준체위조사가 실시 되어 그 결과가 발표되었다. 의복은 인체계측에 의한 신체 각 부위의 치수와 형태를 기초로 2차원적인 소재에 적절한 원형을 사용하여 재단, 봉제과정을 거쳐 3차원의 입체 로 구성하고 인체에 대응시킨 것이므로 기성복에 대하여 소비자의 치수적합성을 만족시 키기 위해서는 체형의 특징을 고려해야 할 것이다. 특히, 성장이 완료된 성인 여성은 출산후 중년에 접어들면서 신체적 특성이 변하여 체형이 바뀌는 경향이 있으므로 전 여성에대한 의류치수규격보다는 연령의 구분과 체형의 분류가 필요하다고 본다. 더우기 의류업체들의 판매대상의 세분화는 이를 더욱 뒷받침해주고 있다. 따라서 체형의 분류는 의복 치수 규격에 적용되어 의복의 종류에 따라 대다수의 불특정 다수 에게 보다 잘 맞는 의복 치수를 제공할 것이며, 그 치수의 정확성을 증대시키게 된다. 김성득(1991)은 소비자의 기성복에 대한 구매확률을 높이기 위해서는 규격치를 등간격 으로 하기 보다는 소비자의 분포밀도가 높은 곳일수록 규격치 간격들을 좁게 설정함으 로써 생산자 입장에서 총손실을 줄이고, 상대적 비용절감효과를 갖게할 수 있다고 하였다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 성인 여성기성복의 치수적합성을 높이기위하여 출산 후 중년에 접어 들면서 체형이 변화되는 것을 고려하여 연령을 분류하고(18세-34세, 30세-51세), 각 연령 집단에 따른 체형을 각각 3가지로 분류하였다. 이에 따라 의복 생산시의 총손실을 줄이기위한 상의, 하의생산시 필요한 부위별 최적규격치 간격을 제시하였다.

This study established a lower garment sizing system for abdominal obesity adult women aged 30-59 based on 277 females selected from the 7th Size Korean Anthropometric survey. The criteria for subjects in this study were over 25 kg/㎡ of the BMI, over 85 cm of waist, and over 0.8 waist hip ratio. The results are as follows. The lower body analysis of abdominal obesity adult women showed that average circumference items were larger than the ordinary size, and the average length items were smaller. The standard deviation was applied around the average values of waist circumference and hip circumference for the suggestion of a lower garment sizing system for abdominal obesity adult women. The interval between the designation was ±1.5 cm with a waist circumference of 100 cm and ±2.5 cm with an average hip circumference of 100 cm. We established 13 designation sections in consideration of the cover ratio and cover efficiency. The cover ratio in the 13 nominal sections was 71.5%. The segmental distribution rate presented in the results will also be useful for production planning in specific sizes that helped enable rational production.

The purpose of this proper is to set up the sizing system of the lower, which would be a guide for obese women for selecting ready-to-wear of suitable size. This study was carried out on 130 obese women and was done by cluster analysis with two(waist girth and hip girth) or three(abdomen circumference, hip girth and crotch length) variables. The results were as fellows: First, it was found that 3-5 sizes were suitable by cluster analysis with two variable. Second, 3-4 sizes were suitable with three variables. Finally, the number of sizes to product was 5 with two variables as a feasible solution, and 4 with three variables.

General anesthesia has been researched and developed in dentistry as on type of management technique to sedate patients who may be uncontrollable or require medical consideration. There has been continuous research into this area, but analysis of large set of patients over a sustained period of time is lacking. Thus, this study analyzes the records of patients who received general anesthesia at the Yonsei University Dental Hospital Department of Pediatric and Clinic for the Disabled. 1. Patient's age ranged from 1 to 66, with under 5 being the largest group with 410 members(38.5%). The study included more men than women, with 695 male members(65.3%). 2. Type of dental procedure performed were as follows(per person) : 5.6 Dental restoration; 2.3 Endodontic treatment of deciduous and primary teeth; 2.5 preformed crowning; and 1.6 extractions. Procedures took an average of 100 minutes. 3. 1022 patients(95.9%) received dental care under general anesthesia once and 43 patients(4.1%) received dental care under general anesthesia two or more times. Dentistry under general anesthesia has the many benefit. However, without appropriate post-treatment care, it is difficult to maintain good oral health. Therefore, it is important to improve the efficiency and safety of general anesthesia through future research.
