Abstract

Due to the aging problem of China's population, elderly-oriented design has been paid more and more attention. There are still many deficiencies in the storage products for Chinese elderly, which will lead to low efficiency and safety problems. By investigating the kitchen environment and storage habits of Chinese elderly, using the method of combining literature research, user research and practical research, and through the data comparison of 30 groups of users, this study summarized the problems of kitchen storage and the storage habits of Chinese elderly, which plays an important role in improving China's kitchen storage and even in the healthy development of China's kitchen industry.
