Analyzing Changes in Elderly Bodies and the Case for a New Standard of Measurement

This study analyzes the tendency of human posture bias in the front and side of the body in the 20s versus the elderly years. By examining the distance between the vertical lines lowered from the reference point, we were able to get a complete picture of the front and side posture of the body. The results revealed that gender and age play a role in how the posture declines differently in the elderly. Body shape analysis studies were done based on the assumption that the human body is symmetrical on the right side. However, considering this study’s gender and age factors, the standard anthropometric terms and methods are not symmetrical. We observed a need for a standard that measures both sides of the human body true to the subject’s physical being. Our results also revealed that in the elderly, where posture has changed in the front and the side, it is necessary to have a body shape analysis approach that considers both the left and right sides.
