Comparative analysis of an thropometric data of Kazakhstan women adults depending from the age factor

Introduction                                       Therefore, this study was conducted to

This work was supported by the Foundation Grant of Ministry of education and researchof theRepublic of Kazakhstan. These data obtained on the basis of mass measuring of the women population.

Size characteristics of frames of consumers of the Republic of Kazakhstan nowadays regarding industrial manufacturing of clothes are determined by the industry-specific standards of 1981- 86 years [1].

Garment enterprises of Kazakhstan nowadays apply old ‘soviet’ size typologyof the population, old-fashioned (of 1986 year) size anthropometric standards, which do not provide symmetry and proportionality of the products, manufactured by them on frames of Kazakhstan peoples [2].

As for the classification of frames’ types developed in 2007 in the Russian Federation for men, women and children population is applicable for only Russian manufacturers, as it reflects only size characteristics of Russians [3]. Manufacturers from Kazakhstan need own size characteristics for muss production of clothes.

The present moment there is no information about modern size typology of the population of Kazakhstan, which adequately reflects size characteristics of different age groups, including shapes of women, men and children [4].

compare the body characteristics between Kazakhstan and old ‘soviet’ size characteristics (1986 year) by utilizing body measurements [5].

These data obtained by measurement methods using measuring tapes and calipers.

Methods

Anthropometric measurement data of 1500 Kazakhstan women adults were analyzed in this study.

To determine the structure of the choice population sample method was applied. Complied with all requirements for sampling: in accordance with percentage of age groups; randomness; accounting of the population, working in various spheres of activity (mental and physical).

As of January 1, 2012 year number of the female population in the Republic of Kazakhstan represents 52% of the total number, including 38% of the adult male population. 14% - is the number of the female population with age 1-17 year.

Kazakhstanwomen were categorized into 4 age groups because statistical data of adults of Kazakhstanwomen was fixed at 4 age groups.

Demographic distribution of subjects by age groups, which corresponds to percent distribution on ages in Kazakhstan, is shown in

40-49	295	7,5
more 50	474	12,0
	1500	38

For expansion of knowledge of population structure concerning morphological structure of separate groups, in the course of collecting materials detailed questioning was made.

Sixty one measurements were selected which are used in production of clothes (Table 2). All measurements were taken according to same measuring techniques.

Results and Discussion

illustrates the body measurementsof Kazakhstanfemales.

Many measurements were different deviations between old ‘soviet’ size typology (1986 year) and Kazakhstan (2012 year) females. In most of the dimensions, the averages of the old ‘soviet’ size typology1986 year were larger

than now 2012 year.

The almost identical size of inside leg length is peculiar to the different height. Consequently, to the modern woman of Kazakhst

an characteristically more short lower limbs (inside leg length) as compared to a old ‘soviet’ size typology. The greater value of height, less value of bust, waist and hip girthis characteristic

the women ofKazakhstan.

shows the differences of the each age group in Kazakhstan females.

Only head girth with age practically does not change.

Conclusions

Sixty one measurements were summarized in this study. These results will be useful for the design and manufacturing of garments. Also, these results will be useful for projecting test dummies. First, it was determined that measurements of Kazakhstan females such as girth, width measurements were significantly smaller than dimensions of the old ‘soviet’ size typology1986 year. However, cross back width and shoulder width of Kazakhstan females practically does not change.

Second, the subjects were categorized into 4 age groups: 18-29, 30-39, 40-49, higher than 50.According to the comparison analysis of Kazakhstan females by age groups, all measurements had significant differences among the age groups.

Third, with age significantly increasesgirth and width. But, head girthdoes not change.

Fourth, with age height measurements is decreased.

This research will be useful for companies as background information in the planning and manufacture of clothing. The statistical information will also be a valuable database for the future research in projecting test dummiesof women apparels, designing of corselets.
