Research data was obtained from 2950 women 26 to 45 years of age whoparticipated in the SizeUSA study. A 26 to 35 years of age group and a 36 to 45 years of age group were selectedfrom the data pool. A total of 26 measurements important for body shape classification and for apparel productdevelopment was used for the data analysis. Five factors accounted for the US women’s body measurements. Thebody shapes of women were categorized into 4 types: Obese A-Shape, Overweight Y-Shape, Obese H-Shape, andNormal S-Shape. Normal S-Shape was the most common body shape type. More women in the 26 to 35 years ofage group had Normal S-Shape type than women in the 36 to 45 years of age group. More women in the 36 to45 years of age group had Obese A-Shape, Overweight Y-Shape, and Obese H-Shape than women in the 26 to 35years of age group.
