This work directly relates to the doctoral research titled “Adaptation of Clothing for Elderly Women Dependent on Care, Considering Their Anatomical Modifications,” conducted in 2017 at the University of Minho, Portugal. The study aims to present adaptable clothing suggestions, emphasizing comfort features to suit the physical and postural conditions of plus-size elderly women. The term “plus-size” in this article refers to the bodies of elderly women classified as overweight or obese according to medical standards. Observations were made regarding posture, movement, and the time spent in a seated position by plus-size elderly women. These observations could significantly contribute to material recommendations and clothing adaptations, focusing on sensory, thermophysiological, psychological, and, more specifically, ergonomic comfort. The research adopts a descriptive and qualitative approach with conceptual reviews, highlighting authors such as Hoff (2016), Li (2001), Zhang (1992), Slater (1985), Gill (2011), Romeo (2013), Aires (2019), among others, who support the study with suggestions on materials, methods, and techniques that enhance product comfort. In conclusion, the study emphasizes comfort in various aspects: ergonomic comfort through body-fitted modeling; sensory comfort through the fibers and soft touch of the fabric; thermophysiological comfort regarding warmth and coolness; and psychological comfort through the aesthetic function of clothing, highlighting the beneficial effect that color triggers on the behavior of plus-size elderly women. The relevance of the
topic in the current context is also underscored.
