Abstract
Following the previous paper, the relations between the form of the upper arm, the shape of the armscye line and many other items of body measurement were clarified by using the canonical correlation analysis. It was shown that the height and the girth of young women were related, while no such relation was found in the case of older women.
In order to classify the form of the upper arm and the shape of the armscye line, the factor analysis was made respectively and three factors were obtained for the former and five for the latter. By using these factor scores obtained from the above mentioned analysis and through cluster analysis, the form of the upper arm and the shape of the armsye line were classified.
Regarding the form of the upper arm, each of the two women groups has a large cluster in which all of the three factor scores are low. The ratio of the cluster of the young women in which the length above the level of armscye point is longer is 41.4%, while the ratio of the cluster of the older women in which the length under the level of armscye point is longer is 41.3%.
Regarding the shape of the armscye line, there are some clusters of the older women in which the length in the vertical direction is longer. They include a cluster in which the width of the armscye points is longer.
