Cumulative data of 40,000 people over 45 years of Japanese women ~

Arrived at Tokyo Midtown Hall.


It was displayed on the built-in screen that it was a press conference for the latest research.


The recital started.


President and CEO Tsukamoto who talks about the results of his continued research sincerely is today's announcement.


Next, greetings from Mr. Akihiro Shinozaki of Human Sciences Institute Director who is an executive officer and director.


A brief explanation of the institution named Human Science Research Institute that conducted the research on the content to be announced this time is that the image of underwear company Wacoal is strong. It is an institution that gains new knowledge by science of human beings, goes to product development and consulting, and is Wacoal's "underwhelming power".


From 1964 adopted world standard "Martin measurement". It seems to measure at least 158 ​​places from at least 100 places per person.


There is also a device that scans the human body with a laser as fast as 5 seconds and can analyze it three-dimensionally. The first thing was that improvements were added to what I had scanned about 30 seconds. It is quite a hi-tech.


We also produce dummies for underwear design. Data is taken every age, and for each age, it is made by taking an average for data of about 100 subjects.


It was exhibited in the lobby, but this dummy was pretty close to genuine, it was soft and soft.


Using this dummy, we will perform a three-dimensional cutting of the brassiere.


A dummy of each age and a product made accordingly. If the dummy is not done firmly it affects the product's performance as well.


According to the results of anthropometry, I made a dummy and asked the monitor to wear underwear. Data collection seems to be doing quite extensive investigation from women of as much as 40,000, trying on monitor from 1000 people.


Target of analysis of data to be announced this time is explained using a table. The numbers in the box represent the measured age. It means that he chased after 25 years of people born in the 1950s to change the mingling.


In addition, from this, we measured the 100 persons of the same person every 5 to 10 years and narrowed down.


By announcing this achievement, I will conclude with a smile "We should be able to spend the aging enjoyable happily".


A baton touch took place here and Mr. Kenji Kamiya, a researcher at the Human Sciences Research Institute who actually researched, made a presentation after this.


It consists of two subjects' photographs of body form from 20's to 50's. It is a study of aging (change in body shape with age).


It is a graph of time series changes of women born in the 1950s. As a result of continuing human body measurements for 45 years, it is possible to gather such data. The analysis result that it is in "the tendency that waist and tummy change is the largest and the abdomen becomes the same thickness as bust after 50 years old" is quite impressive.


There are individual differences in these changes, varying from a great change to a small person. However, it is common to all people to change their physical form through the same order.


Changes in the shape of hips. Every step you step, the top of the hip goes down and the meat moves inside. The age at which change begins is different, there are people in step 2 even in their twenties, there seem to be people in step 0 even in their forties. However, once it changes, a word that it does not return to the original is heavy.


Looking at changes in aging with motion graphics is incredible force.

Actually, as you go through age the bust seems to become increasingly soft. Also reports that the bust of the bust has begun in his twenties. It is the same as hip that changes with aging, and once it changes it will not return to the original ... ....


If you summarize the tendencies of hip and bust it will be such an item. The hips tend to flow inward, while the bust tends to flow outward, contrary to the hip, the bust has more change due to age. After all, it is impossible to return the aged body to the original, so this fact seems to deeply approach all women.


Why is it easier for busts to change than hips, because there is no muscle in what constitutes the bust. I can not train it by exercise, for example.


Variations due to aging seem to influence the bust shape change. Especially because the shake damages the bust, wearing a brassiere plays a role in preventing shape change.The company's survey on the necessity of wearing a sports bra during sportsBut the same thing is said.


In the case of not brushing and not doing, the way of shaking varies greatly.

However, the effect will be low unless it is a brassiere that matches your body firmly.

However, only 14% will buy a bra after surely measuring. For that reason, 71% of women are misunderstanding their size and seem to be wearing the wrong size bra.


It is not such a thing to say even if you just need to grasp the size, but as you can see from the fact that Torso was made by age, the shape of the brassiere that fits the age is different even for the same size. When a person in their forties gets a brassiere for 20's, the cup will float and the underwear will dig into the back.


Because the composition of the breast changes with aging, it means that you have to choose a bra that corresponds to the shape or softness that has changed.


By attaching a brassiere suitable for that age, you can firmly support the bust.


After seeing so far, I will explain how to make a beautiful body by wondering as "the law of beauty".


It is like this when it is in a state not attached anything ......


Once you put on a bra that fits the body, you will feel well organized.


By putting underwear on, the women in their twenties took a sharp stance.


Women in their 40s are stomach and clean.


Women in their 60s have a beautiful posture.


And the secret to maintain your figure is obvious.


Compare the two groups of people who are maintaining their bodies and those who are not.


I heard that they conducted such physical examinations and interviews in both groups.


As a result of the interview, those who maintain their body seem to be well aligned with their own underwear and living and meals.


Case 1 is a person who experienced birth and became mother of 1 child. It seems that consciousness is quite conscious, such as adjusting the meal and checking weight every day.


Case 2 is the person who became the mother of 3 children. I use the stairs as much as possible, I check my appearance reflected on the glass and seem to be correcting my attitude. It seems that you are increasing your momentum, paying attention to the daily minor movements.


There seems to be a possibility that there is something in common between health and keeping a beautiful figure.


Today's summary is like this. It was particularly impressive that bust's "softness" changes with aging.


The goal of Wacoal was displayed and it ended. There were no silver bullets for maintaining body shape, and an exemplary result was derived that it is better to use healthy living using underwear suited to yourself. It is also a fact that if you do not choose underwear etc. at present, it will be inexpensively gotten at sundry shops as well. Considering that the aging change that occurred once does not return, I felt that changing women's wisdom from common sense to wearing underwear is necessary to keep women's "because it is beautiful."
