Abstract

To understand the body characteristics of Chinese adult males, a sample of males aged 18–60 in China was selected. Using factor analysis, two common factors influencing male body types were extracted from 22 measurement items. Based on correlation analysis, five characteristic variables were selected. The k-means clustering method was then applied to classify Chinese adult male body types into six categories. This study on the analysis and classification of Chinese adult male body characteristics can provide a foundation for constructing different types of human body models.
