The torsos of 48 elderly women were measured using a three-dimensional(3D)method. The shape of the torso was represented by a 3D model of torso which was constructed using 126 points on the neck line and shoulder seam line site and the horizontal cross sections of five sites; shoulder, across-back, armpit, bust and waist sections. A model of an average torso of elderly Japanese women was obtained. Compared with the torsos of young women, the elderly women's torsos showed several differences: the neck line was positioned 1.5 cm forward; the front-back depths of the horizontal sections were larger; the widths of the torsos were narrower at the upper sections and wider at the lower sections; the armpit and bust sections were lower; and the angles measured on the torsos indicated a more inclined upper back and less protrusion of the bust. The principal components that characterize individual shapes were obtained, such as the inclination of the upper back, the concavity of the lumber part, the convexity of the front part, and the wider waist with age in elderly women. These data, which reveal the differences of young and elderly women and individual characteristics of torsos, will help in the making of dress dummies and improve the apparel fit for elderly women.
