SIZE KOREA updates body measurement data every five years, providing essential information for the fashion industry. This anthropometric data is widely used to diagnose consumer body shapes and develop optimal clothing sizes. Artificial intelligence, particularly machine learning, excels in predicting such body shape classifications. This study seeks to enhance the suitability of clothing design by applying the new analytical methodology of machine learning techniques to better capture and classify the unique body shapes of Korean women. In this study, machine learning techniques such as K-means clustering, Silhouette analysis, and Decision Tree analysis were used to classify the lower body shapes of Korean women in their twenties and identify standard body shapes useful for slacks design. The results showed that the lower body of the age group could be classified into three categories: 'small stature' (the majority), 'tall with an average lower body volume,' and 'medium height with a fuller lower body' (the smallest share). The three-cluster approach is validated through Silhouette analysis, which minimizes misclassification. Decision Tree analysis then further defines the criteria for these clusters, highlighting waist height and hip depth as the most significant factors, achieving a classification accuracy of 90.6%. While this study is not directly related to Robotic Process Automation, its detailed analysis of body shapes for slacks patterns can aid RPA in clothing production. Future research should continue integrating machine learning in human body and fashion design studies.

The purpose of this study was to classify body type for ready-to-wear sizes. The subjects were 300 women ages of 18-24. they were measured direct anthropometry. The body types for sizing system were divided by Rohrer Index. KS drop value and ISO drop value. The results of this study were as follows. 1. By adapting the Rohrer Index. we classify 3 types from anthropometric measurements. The thin type covered 39.3%, the standard type 51.0% and the obesity type 18.7%. The characteristics of clusters were as follows. Thin type was characterized by tall. slender type and slim. The standard type was characterized by middle sized. The obesity type was characterized by short. fat type. and large bust. 2. By adapting the KS system drop value. we classify 3 types from anthropometric measurements. The H type(drop 0) covered 25.6%. the N type(drop 6) 65.2% and the A type(drop 12) 9.2%. Type H was slightly tall large bust. and curved from waist to hip. Type A was slightly thin. large hip and smaller bust than type N. Principal factor components were bust size. The height could be divided into three groups. The Petite(l50cm) covered 5.5%. the Regular(l60cm) 64.7% and the Tall(l70cm) 29.8%. Through the crosstab of height and body type. we extracted regular height by N type 46.2% the largest cell. The body type was the higher order of N type. H type and A type. The tall was the higher order of Regular. Tall and Petite. 3. By adapting the ISO system drop value. we classify 3 types from anthropometric measurements. The H type(drop 0) covered 15.0%. the M type(drop 6) 41.0% and the A type(drop 12) 44.0%. Type H was slightly short. slightly fat and large bust. Type A was slightly tall. slight thin than type M. The height could be divided into three groups. We adjust the height section after allow for height distribution. The Short(152cm) covered 12.8%. the Regular(160cm) 66.9% and the Long(168cm) 20.3%. Through the crosstab of height and body type, we extracted regular height by M type 29.3% the largest cell. The body type was the higher order of M type, A type and H type. The tall was the higher order of Regular, Long and short.

목 적 : 소아에서 비만 유병률 증가와 함께 비알콜성 지방간염도 증가하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 청소년에서 혈청 아미노 전이 효소 상승 빈도를 조사하고 체지방 분포 및 혈청 인슐린 농도와의 관계를 알아보고자 한다. 방 법 : 3,636명을 대상으로 하였고 이들의 평균 연령은 $15.7{\pm}0.7$세였다. 대상자로부터 신장, 체중, 허리둘레, 둔위를 측정하고 혈액검사를 통하여 AST, ALT및 공복시 인슐린을 측정하였다. 비만 및 과체중군은 성별, 연령별 체질량지수와 비교하여 각각 95 백분위수 이상, 85-94 백분위수로 정의하였다. 결 과 : 비만군은 324명으로 8.9%였으며 과체중군은 414명(11.4%)이었다. 허리둘레와 둔위 및 허리-둔위비는 남녀학생 모두에서 각 군간에 유의한 차이를 보였다. ALT 평균치는 각 군간에 유의한 차이를 보였다(비만군 : $32.1{\pm}34.3U/L$, 과체중 : $19.6{\pm}13.6U/L$, 대조군 : $12.7{\pm}6.7U/L$, P<0.001). AST 평균치 또한 각 군별로 유의한 차이를 보였다(비만군 : $27.8{\pm}16.5U/L$, 과체중군 : $22.8{\pm}8.6U/L$, 대조군 : $20.8{\pm}8.5U/L$, P<0.001). AST 및 ALT는 체질량지수, 허리둘레, 둔위, 허리-둔위비 및 혈청 인슐린 농도와 각각 유의한 상관 관계를 가졌다. 다중회귀분석결과 여러 신체 계측치와 인슐린 농도 중에서 ALT와 유의한 상관 관계를 갖는 것은 허리둘레, 체질량지수, 인슐린 농도 였으며(r=0.435, P<0.001), AST에 영향을 주는 인자는 허리둘레였다(r=0.234, P<0.001). 결 론 : 비만군 및 과체중군에서 혈청 아미노 전이 효소 증가대상자의 비율이 의미 있게 증가되어 있었고 허리둘레는 AST 및 ALT 증가를 예측하는데 유용한 지표로 사용될 수 있다.

본 연구에서는 대구 경북지역 20, 30대 남성근로자 224명을 대상으로 BMI에 따른 신체적 특성, 건강상태를 조사하였다. BMI는 20대 $23.67\;kg/m^{2}$, 30대 $23.95\;kg/m^{2}$로 조사대상자 모두 대한비만학회에서 제시한 정상 범위인 $18.5{\sim}23\;kg/m^{2}$에서 벗어난 과체중으로 조사되었다. BMI에 따른 신체적 특성은 체중, 이상체중비율, BMI 모두에서 유의적인 차이(p<0.001)를 나타냈다. 그리고 신체둘레 측정 결과 허리 둘레, 엉덩이 둘레, 허리/엉덩이 둘레비는 비만군, 과체중군, 정상군 순으로 유의적인 차이(p<0.001)를, 허리/엉덩이 둘레는 30대가 20대보다 크게(p<0.01)나타났다. 체구성성분 측정 결과 체지방률{body fat(%)}과 체지방량{body fat(kg)}은 비만군, 과체중군, 정상군 순으로 유의적인 차이(p<0.001)를 보였다. BMI가 증가함에 따라 관리요망군과 질환의심군의 비율이 유의적으로(p<0.001) 증가하였고, 평균 혈압은 비만군이 정상군 및 과체중군보다 높은 유의적인 차이(p<0.001)가 있었으며, 공복시 혈당은 30대가 20대보다 높은 유의적인 차이(p<0.05)를 보였다. 간질환의 유무를 알 수 있는 지표인 SGOT, SGPT 및 $\gamma-GTP$는 BMI별로 보면 비만군은 정상군 및 과체중군보다 높아 유의적인 차이(SGOT, SGPT; p<0.001, $\gamma-GTP$; p<0.01)를 보였으며 비만군의 SGOT는 43.58 U/L로 정상범위에서 벗어났다. $\gamma-GTP$를 연령별로 보면 30대가 34.74 U/L로 정상군에는 속하지만 20대의 28.06 U/L보다 높은 유의적인 차이(p<0.05)를 보였다. 건강상태와 음주 및 흡연 유무에 따른 생화학적 상태를 살펴보면, 건강상태에 따른 수축기혈압은 관리요망군, 질환의심군, 정상군 순으로 유의적인 차이(p<0.01)를 보였으며, 확장기혈압, 총콜레스테롤, 공복 시 혈당, SGOT, SGPT 및 ${\gamma}-GTP$는 정상군 및 관리요망군과 질환의심군 간에 유의적인 차이(p<0.001)를 보였다. $\gamma-GTP$는 음주 근로자가 33.79 U/L, 비음주 근로자가 26.64 U/L로 집단 간의 유의적인 차이(p<0.05)를 보였고, 수축기 혈압과 헤모글로빈은 각각 흡연 근로자가 124.65 mmHg, 15.82 g/dL이고, 비흡연근로자는 120.43 mmHg, 15.38 g/dL로 나타나 집단 간의 유의적인 차이(p<0.01)를 보였다. 체중이 많이 나갈수록 BMI, 이상체중비율(%), 허리둘레 및 엉덩이둘레, 허리/엉덩이 둘레비, 체지방량, 체지방률(%)이 높으며, 이에 따라 수축기혈압과 확장기혈압, 총콜레스테롤, 공복 시 혈당, SGOT, SGPT, $\gamma-GTP$ 모두 높아진다(p<0.001, p<0.01, p<0.05). 이상의 결과를 종합해보면, 조사대상자인 20, 30대 남성 근로자 대부분이 과체중에 속하며, 체중이 증가할수록 BMI, 허리둘레, 엉덩이둘레, 체지방률(%) 등이 증가하고 BMI가 높아질수록 수축기혈압과 이완기혈압, SGOT, SGPT, $\gamma-GTP$ 등의 생화학적 수치들이 높아져 건강상태가 좋지 않게 된다. 음주와 흡연 역시 혈압, $\gamma-GTP$ 등을 높여 건강상태 악화에 한 몫을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 20, 30대 남성근로자들의 연령 및 비만도의 증가에 따라 건강상태가 나빠지며 성인병 유병률의 가능성이 높아짐을 인식하고, 이러한 건강 위험요인들을 개선할 수 있는 노력이 필요할 것이라 사료된다. 정기적인 건강검진과 더불어 규칙적인 운동과 음주, 흡연, 업무 과중, 스트레스와 같은 생활습관 및 불규칙한 식습관을 개선할 수 있는 방안의 모색이 요구된다.

Girls' school uniform evaluative criteria and their uniform modification were investigated. The data were collected by questionnaire from 579 middle and high school girls living in Incheon during the fall of 2003. The uniform evaluative criteria consisted of five dimensions: aesthetics, comfort, economy, management, and status concealment factor. The uniform evaluative criteria were used to cluster the students into five groups: economic, practical, aesthetic, negative, and active. The uniform modifications were investigated in regard to sleeve length, sleeve width, breast width, jacket length, skirt length, hip width, and waist width. The aesthetic and the active groups intended to modify uniforms less in sleeve length and skirt length than the other three groups. There were significant differences in the uniform modifications among demographics: school years, height, weight, spending money, satisfaction/dissatisfaction with spending money, and clothing expenditures.

The bone mineral density(vertebrae Ll-4, femoral neck, Ward's triangle and trochanter) of 160 healthy adult women aged 29-45 was measured and general characteristics, anthropomentric measurements, and dietary intake were also studied to determine the main factors affecting the bone mineral density(BMD) of adult women. The nutrient intake of the subjects was adequate to RDA level except energy, Ca, Fe, and vit A. The BMD of vertebrae L24 showed significant positive association with nutrient intake such as animal protein, P, Ca(animal) and Fe(animal). The BMD of the femoral neck correlated significantly with anthropometric measurements such as height, weight, waist circumference, hip circumference, body fat and body mass index. The BMD of both sites(vertebrae L24 and femoral neck) were significantly related to vertebrae L24 was daily Ca intake and that of femoral neck was daily energy expenditure. In conclusion, adequate nutrient intake, especially protein, P, Ca and Fe as well as increases in physical activity were suggested to prevent the loss of bone mineral density in adult women.

The "China Zun" tower in Beijing will rise to 528 meters in height and will be the tallest building in Beijing once built. Inspired by an ancient Chinese vessel, the "Zun", the plan dimensions reduce gradually from the bottom of the tower to the waist and then expand again as it rises to form an aesthetically beautiful and unique geometry. To satisfy the structural requirement for seismic and wind resistance, the structure is a dual system composed of a perimeter mega structure made of composite mega columns, mega braces, and belt trusses, and a reinforced-concrete core with steel plate-embedded walls. Advanced parametric design technology is applied to find the most efficient outer-perimeter structure system. The seismic design basically follows a mixed empirical and performance-based methodology that was verified by a shaking table test and other specimen lab tests. The tower is now half-way through its construction.
