SizeUSA National Sizing Data Available
SizeUSA - The National Sizing Survey conducted by [TC]² (TC Squared) has been released with more body measurement data than has previously been available. It will take time for [TC]² and the SizeUSA sponsors to analyze this data and decide what actions, if any, they need to take in their product development.
The following table summarizes SizeUSA “Average Body” data. Some preliminary observations from this data are:
• People in this survey get larger as they get older.
• Black women are larger than White and Hispanic women of similar ages.
• Waists increase the most with age.
• Women's hips are larger than their bust, so they are more pear shaped.
• Men's chests are larger than their hips.
These are general observations. Significant factors not shown here, such as height and weight will enhance the understanding of body shapes and sizes.
