This is a series of study about the deformed body of elderly women. The first study had come up with a set of criteria for assessing the deformation of lateral body by computing the sum and the difference of the thickness of the front and back in five body parts, the angle of the knee. And the 39 subjects who had body deformation were chosen among 220 elderly women who were over 60 years of age and distributed across the country. The purpose of this study was to classify the body type of 39 subjects who have deformed body according to their distinctive body deformation and to analyze each body characteristics. Based on the deformation criteria and an observation of the lateral photographs of 39 subjects, they have been classified in accordance with the distinctive deformation. There were eight deformed body types, and they included ``bent knee``, ``bent knee and bent back``, ``bent knee and curved body``, ``bent knee and bent waist``, ``bent back``, ``curved body``, ``bent waist``, and ``lateral obese`` types. The characteristics of each deformed body type were analyzed comparing body measurements. The comparison and analysis of the size and height proportion of the deformed body type to a comparable lateral normal body type that had little deformation has been done in order to find out the body characteristics that is necessary for designing the pattern for the deformed body type and for manufacturing clothing. It was verified that there appeared a clear difference between the deformed and normal body type in terms of size, shape, posture, and height proportion. If the posture characteristics and height proportion for each deformed body type as suggested in this study are reflected in the pattern design and clothing manufacturing, then a great enhancement could be observed in how clothing will look on elderly women.
