One of the most important things in making garments is to make good paper patterns that are fit well to one's body. It is necessary, therefore, to know one's body type, accurate measurements of the parts of the body and also the bodily changes according to one's bodily movement. In 1969, 118 students of Hiroshima Bunka Women's Junior College aged 18-20 were measured. In 1972,536 adult men and, in 1973,543 adult women, who lived in Hiroshima city and its suburbs, were measured. The data were examined by age groups 25-29; 40-44; 55-65 and the results of our examination were reported in respective years. In the present report, 296 girl students of S Private Senior High School in Hiroshima city were measured and their shoulder length and shoulder slope were examined. The measurement was taken in May, 1974. The measurement items were shoulder length (right and left), shoulder slope (right and left), shoulder width, neckbase girth, stature and weight. The apparatus used were a steel tape measure, a body angle gauge (the Makino make), a Martin height measure and a weight gauge. The result of our examination is briefly summarized as follows: The mean value in shoulder length was 12.8-13.3 cm. There was no remarkable difference of value by age or by the right or the left shoulder except that the left shoulder length was larger than the right. The values were distributed 10.8-14.8 cm (right) and 10.8-15.3 cm (left) with a maximum distribution of 12.8 cm (right) and 13.3 cm (left). The range where 75% of the subjects were distributed was 11.8-13.8 cm (both right and left shoulders). The differences between the two shoulder lengths (the right minus the left) were distributed between -1.5-1.9 cm with a maximum distribution of 0-0.4 cm; right = left, 22.6%; right > left, 22.6%; right < left; 54.8%. The mean value in shoulder slope was 21.6-24.9°. It was found that the right shoulder slope was larger than the left in all ages. The distribution was 14.5-32.5° (right) and 12.5-32.5° (left) with a maximum distribution of 24.5° (right) and 20.5° (left). The ranges where 75% of the subjects were distributed were 18.5-30.5° (right) and 16.5-28.5° (left). The differences between the two shoulder slopes (the right minus the left) were distributed -12-14° with a maximum distribution of 2°; right = left, 11.8%; right> left, 70.0%; right < left, 18.2%. A dispersive analysis of the tendency of increase and decrease of values among the measurement items showed that in shoulder length (right and left) it was significant at 5%. The ratios of the right shoulder length to other items were as follows: to shoulder width, 32.9%; to neckbase girth, 34.6%; to stature, 8.3%. The ratios of the right shoulder slope to shoulder width, neckbase girth and to stature were 62.9%, 66.2% and 15.8% respectively. Remarkably high correlation ship was seen between the two shoulder lengths, between the right or the left shoulder length and shoulder width and also between shoulder width and neck base girth, stature or weight. Relatively high correlation ship was seen between the two shoulder slopes and also between the right or the left shoulder length and the right or the left shoulder slope. The relationship was all significant at 1-5%. |
