背景：本研究旨在建立不同年龄、体重和乳房大小的女性乳房体积的规范数据，并确定年龄和体重指数（BMI）对乳房体积的影响。方法：采用俯卧位三维扫描测量356例女性（年龄18.1 ~ 83.7岁，BMI 18.4 ~ 54.5 kg/m(2)）的乳房体积。结果：乳房体积范围为48 ~ 3100 mL，虽然乳房体积受年龄影响不显著，但受BMI影响显著，超重和肥胖女性的乳房体积是BMI正常女性的2 ~ 3倍。结论：建议胸罩罩杯必须设计成能够支持女性所表现出的大范围和不断增加的乳房体积。从业者总结：这项原创性研究为胸罩设计师和制造商提供了关于女性乳房体积范围和BMI对乳房体积的显著影响的证据。胸罩罩杯的设计需要支持女性乳房的大范围和不断增大的幅度。
Background: This study aimed to establish normative breast volume data for women of varying ages, body masses and breast sizes, and to determine the effect of age and body mass index (BMI) on breast volume.Methods: The breast volume of 356 women (age range: 18.1-83.7 years; BMI range: 18.4-54.5 kg/m(2)) was measured using three-dimensional scanning in a prone position.Results: Breast volumes ranged from 48 to 3100 mL. Although breast volume was not significantly affected by age, it was significantly affected by BMI, with the breast volume of overweight and obese women being two-to-three times greater than women with normal BMI's.Conclusion: It is recommended that bra cups must be designed to support the wide range and increasing magnitude of breast volumes exhibited by women.Practitioner summary: This original research provides evidence for bra designers and manufacturers on the range of breast volumes of women and the significant effect of BMI on breast volume. Bra cups need to be designed to support the wide range and increasing magnitude of breast volumes exhibited by women.
