이 연구는 비만 유병율이 급격하게 증가되는 중년남성을 대상으로 비만 정도에 따른 신 체 활동량 차이를 알아보고, 비만도에 따른 대사적 건강 상태를 비교하여 비만 정도에 따 른 운동 실천율과의 연관성을 알아보고자 진행되었다. 연구에 활용된 자료는 2022년 국민 건강영양조사에 보고된 설문 원시자료이며, 연구 대상자는 중년남성(40세~64세)에 해당하 는 470명으로 선정하였다. 비만도에 따른 신체적 요인, 신체 활동량, 운동 실천율, 혈액요인 의 변인을 변인의 특성과 연구의 목적에 적합하도록 일원분산분석과 ²검정으로 분석하여 결과를 도출하였다. 비만도에 따른 체중, 허리둘레, 체질량지수, 나이 요인에서 유의한 차이 가 나타났고, 중성지방, 당화혈색소, 고밀도지단백 요인에서도 유의한 차이가 나타났다. 반 면 비만도에 따른 모든 집단에서 신체 활동량과 운동 실천율은 유의한 차이가 나타나지 않 았다. 결론적으로 중년남성의 비만도에 따른 신체 활동량 및 운동 실천율과의 연관성은 나 타나지 않았다. 이러한 결과로 국내 중년 남성에게 있어서 비만도는 일상의 영양 섭취, 수면, 스트레스 등과 같은 생활 습관의 변인 및 정신적인(심리적인) 변인의 중요성이 더 강조 될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

The aim of this study was to investigate the actual conditions underlying frequency of eating breakfast and nutritional attitudes in elementary school students in Chungnam area. Students had the highest ratio for eating breakfast everyday and spent 10-20 minutes eating breakfast. Students went to bed at 10-11 PM and woke up at 7-7:30 AM in the morning on average. The biggest reason for skipping breakfast was insufficient time in the morning. Additionally, favorite breakfast menu of subjects was a Korean style meal. The number of elementary students that recognized necessity of nutritional education was highest among subjects. Favorite educational method of subjects was education by teachers. Additionally, number of female students that recognized effect of breakfast on health status was significantly higher than boy students. Ratio of eating breakfast everyday was dependent on BMI value. Most subjects preferred video learning materials as the main nutritional education method. Overweight subjects showed the highest ratio for eating with loss of willpower compared to other students when they skipped the breakfast. Female subjects ate a greater variety of foods compared to male students, and showed better nutritional attitudes towards a desirable dietary life than male subjects. To prevent undesirable food habits and improve intake of various nutrients, systematic nutrition education is required to regulate breakfast of elementary students.

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between intake experience of mother’s milk intake/baby food intake, present eating habits, and atopy symptoms in elementary school students in Chungnam province. More frequent intake of mother’s milk was associated with less atopy symptoms. Subjects who had good attitudes for baby food in the past had less unfavorite foods. In addition, subjects that ate fruits and vegetable-baby food had better eating attitudes for a balanced diet. Unbalanced diet was associated with worse behavior characteristics. Frequency of eating breakfast affected behavioral characteristics. As this study had regional and size limitations, it is necessary to further investigate the relationship between past intake experience of mother’s milk/attitude towards baby foods and present eating habits/physical growth. Based on these results, past intake experience of mother’s milk/attitude towards baby foods might affect present physical growth/development and eating habits of subjects.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the changes of obesity and depression level of obese children on body weight control program. The body weight control program included nutrition education, psychotherapy and exercise for weekly session during 9 months. The results from this study were as follows. A total of 27 obese children participated in this study. The average age of children was 11.7 years, 70% of children had regular exercise. Average exercise time was 1.2 hours and watching television time was 1.8 hours. Children's serum composition were within normal ranges. Rohrer index(RI) was significantly decreased to 163 from 167(p<0.001) and BMI was significantly decreased to 23.9 from 24.5(p<0.01) after body weight control program. There was not significant difference in depression score after body weight control program and there was not significant correlation between obesity and depression level. The response tendency of depression items indicated obese children had negative depression feelings and couldn't have hopeful mind to the future. But there were significant increase(p<0.05) in depression and hopeful mind in factor analysis. The suggestion and limitations of this study were discussed. These results suggest that body weight control program including nutrition education, exercise and psychotherapy may be effective for helping obese children.
