Abstract
The purpose of this study was to offer typical facial shapes Korean women in their 20's to 50's. We used facial photographs of 600 Korean women obtained from $2003\sim2004$ Size Korea Project and we measured these photographs indirectly in this study by utilizing the Venus face2D program. Total 62 measurements on the face were measured and analyzed by statistical methods. The results were as follows. First of all, the mean of face length was 196mm, top face length was 62.3mm, middle face length was 68.9mm, bottom face length was 66.5mm, mean of forehead width was 125.1mm. As based on those average sizes, we proposed a average facial size and shape of Korean women and a average facial size and shape of 20's, 30's, 40's and 50's in this study. When examined characteristic of 20's facial shape, it was recognized that the width of forehead was wider and the width of gnathion was smaller than other age groups. In the characteristic of 30's facial shape, the ratios of facial length, top of face, middle of face and bottom of face were balanced well, as comparing with other age groups. Overall, the values of facial measurement of 30's were similar to the averages of total women. In the facial shape of 40's, mean length and width of face each were the smallest among each age group. The eye shape of 40's was more drooped than the average eye shape and the protrusion of the zygomatic bone was significantly different. In case of the facial shape of 50's, it was similar to the facial shape of 40's, but mean lengths and widths of 50's face were slightly larger than the values of 40's. The eye shape of 50's was more drooped than average group and the eye length was the smallest among all age groups.
본 연구는 2003년에서 2004년에 실시된 제 5차 한국인 인체치수 조사사업을 통해 확보된 측정사진 중 성인여성 20, 30, 40, 50대 각 150명, 총 600명의 정면과 측면 얼굴사진을 대상으로 얼굴의 연령별 특성을 파악하는데 필요하다고 판단되는 62개의 측정항목과 보다 세부적인 얼굴형태의 분석에 활용될 수 있는 21개의 지수 및 계산항목 총 83개 항목을 본 연구자가 선정한 후 Size Kroea 사업 중 얼굴의 측정 프로그램으로 사용되었던 "Venus face2D"를 이용하여 2차원 간접 측정하였다. 간접 측정기간은 2006년 3월 1일부터 6월 30일까지였다. 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 성인여성의 주요 측정항목에 대한 평균 측정치는 얼굴길이 196mm, 상안 62.3mm, 중안 68.9mm, 하안 66.5mm이었고, 이마너비는 125.1mm, 눈살수평너비는 141.2mm, 옆광대점너비 150.8mm 턱아래점너비 124.4mm였다. 이를 바탕으로 우리나라 성인여성 얼굴의 세부항목에 대한 연령집단별 차이를 분석하였으며, 전체 성인여성의 평균 얼굴형과 더불어 각 연령집단별 평균 얼굴형을 제시하였다. 본 연구는 정량화된 수치와 비율을 이용하여 우리나라 성인여성 및 각 연령별 평균 얼굴형을 제시하고, 연령별 얼굴특성을 분석하였다는데 연구의 의의가 있다.
