Human factors in aging consumers

Abstract

Human factors are a big issue when we talk about the general population and even more if talking about specific groups of users, as in the case of senior. These kinds of users are a group in great expansion with numerous associated specific needs that compete for the development of their well-being and maintenance of a high standard of comfort and health. Identifying the biggest changes seniors find in their bodies over time, how they view these changes, how they adapt to it, is a frequent issue for this type of users, who in many cases do not yet have clothing and equipment specifically adapted to their daily tasks and needs. A bibliographic review and analysis of some case studies will be conducted in order to obtain a more complete picture of the reality that surrounds this group of users and their needs in the choice of clothing.
