This study examined the relationship between Body mass index (BMI) classification and the occurrence of dyslipidemia using 3 years of health examination data from a university hospital in Changwon, and seeked to find other factors that affect dyslipidemia. Multivariate logistic regression analysis investigated the most common risk factors for developing dyslipidemia and used Kaplan-Meier survival curves to predict the probability of developing dyslipidemia according to BMI class. We then analyzed the effects of metabolic indicators such as smoking habits, alcohol consumption, blood pressure, glucose, hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), and insulin. The Type I error rate was controlled through Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons to extract reliable statistical data. in the present study, these results showed that the probability of developing dyslipidemia was high in the obese group, and confirmed that lifestyle habits such as smoking and drinking were highly correlated with the occurrence of dyslipidemia. Therefore, we suggest that dyslipidemia management and prevention strategies require public health policies that comprehensively manage lifestyle factors such as gender and weight management, smoking cessation, and drinking habits.

Purpose: 본 연구의 목적은 4주기간동안 횡격막 호흡을 적용한 기구 필라테스 운동이 20대 성인의 유연성, 복부 근 두께, 근육량, 체지방, 호흡에 미치는 영향에 대해 알아보고자 하는 것이다. Methods: 근골격계 질환이 없는 대상자 35명을 대상으로 수행하였으며, 횡격막 호흡을 하는 그룹과 횡격막 호흡을 하지 않는 그룹으로 나누었으며, 두 그룹 모두 필라테스를 수행하였다. 실험에 사용한 기기로는 Ultrasonography(US), Pulmonary function tests(FEV1 / FVC), Bioeletic Impedance Analysis, Sit and reach test를 사용하였다. 정규성 검증을 실시한 후, 반복측정분산분석 (repeated measures of ANOVA)를 사용하여 운동 전, 호흡을 적용한 운동, 호흡 비적용 운동을 비교하였다. 사후 분석을 위해 Fisher’s LSD를 실시하였다. Results: 필라테스 운동은 복근의 두께와 유연성에 긍정적인 영향을 미쳤습니다. SaR test는 운동 전과 호흡을 적용한 운동과 호흡을 적용하지 않은 운동 사이에 유의한 유의성을 보였다(P <0.05). 근육두께 측정 TRA, EO, IO 모두 운동 전보다 호흡 적용 운동과 비호흡 운동에서 유의한 차이가 있었고(P <0.05), TRA와 IO에서는 추가 시간 사이에 유의한 차이가 없었다. 호흡하지 않는 운동(P >0.05). 그러나 EO에서는 호흡운동을 추가한 시간과 호흡운동을 하지 않은 시간 사이에 유의한 차이가 있었다( P <0.05). Conlusion: 결론적으로, 횡격막 호흡을 이용한 필라테스 운동과 횡격막 호흡이 없는 필라테스 운동은 복근의 두께와 유연성에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 횡격막 호흡과 비횡격막 호흡 사이에는 큰 차이가 없었다.

The aim of this study is to explore diverse characteristics of females aged 25 to 49 years grouped according to Body Mass Index(BMI), and to investigate the effect of body satisfaction and self-esteem on involvement in dieting within each BMI group. In total, 549 females who participated in an online survey were divided into groups based on BMI(underweight, normal, and overweight). Results demonstrated three key factors, as follows. First, differences were identified among BMI groups according to demographic characteristics(age, household income, and marital status), although no difference according to education level was found. Second, differences according to BMI groups were found in body satisfaction and involvement in dieting, whereas were not found in self-esteem. Third, model testing for each BMI group showed, a positive correlation between body satisfaction and self-esteem in all three groups. However, there was a difference in causal relationships among variable across BMI groups. Body satisfaction negatively affected and self-esteem positively affected involvement in dieting for the underweight and normal groups, whereas there was no causal relationship between variables in the overweight group. Based on these results, basic information of groups segmented by the level of BMI was obtained, which could be used for both academic and practical implications.

본 연구는 체육전공 남녀 신입생들을 대상으로 체질량지수(Body mass index; BMI), 신체이미지, 식사태도 및 신체활동량의 차이와 상관관계를 규명하는데 있다. 남녀 체육전공 신입생 595명(남녀: 341 vs. 254)이 본 연구에 참여하였고, 대상자들은 신체이미지(Body sahpe questionnaire; BSQ), 식사태도(Eating attitude test-26; EAT-26), 및 신체활동(International physical activity questionnaires; IPAQ)에 대한 설문지를 작성하였다. 체질량지수에 따라 분류하였을 때 정상체중은 67.2%로 나타났으며, 저체중은 5.4%, 과체중과 비만이 17.8%, 9.6%로 나타났다. 남학생들의 57.7%와 여학생들의 78.7%는 정상체중으로 분류되었다. BSQ 검사 결과 총 대상자 중 불만족의 비율은 48.2%로 나타났으며, 남학생 22.9%와 여학생 82.3%가 불만족으로 나타났다. EAT-26 검사 결과 전체 20.2%가 비정상적인 식사태도를 가지고 있었으며, 남학생과 여학생의 비율은 7.3% vs. 37.4%로 나타났다. 신체활동량 조사 결과 99%의 대상자들이 활동적으로 조사되었다. BMI, BSQ, EAT-26, 그리고 신체활동량은 남녀 간에 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다. 신체이미지와 식사태도는 남녀 대상자 모두에서 유의한 상관관계를 보였으며, 체질량지수는 남자 대상자들에서만 신체이미지와 식사태도와 유의한 상관관계가 있었다. 그러나 신체활동량은 남녀 모두에서 다른 변인들과 상관관계가 없었다. 결론적으로 체육전공 대학생들의 신체불만족과 비정상적인 식사태도의 비율이 높으며, 신체이미지의 불만족이 높을수록 비정상적인 식사태도를 가지고 있는 것으로 조사되었다. 따라서 이에 적합한 교육과 사회적 인식의 전환이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the eating patterns, nutrient intakes, blood levels, and health status of male college students in Seoul according to body mass index (BMI). In this study, we classified subjects into normal weight (n=240), under weight (n=11), and obese (n=46) groups according to BMI. The weight and BMI were significantly higher in the obese group compared to other groups (p<0.0001). The obesity was associated with overeating and frequent eating. The under weight group showed significantly higher consumption of fast food, snacks, and fried foods compared to the other groups (p<0.05). The intakes of milk, meat, fish, eggs, and fried food and preference ratios were higher in the obese group (p<0.05). The male college students in this study showed insufficient intakes of calories, vitamin C, folic acid, and calcium. The plasma LDL-cholesterol levels in the obese group were higher compared to the other groups. In conclusion, intake of nutrients among male college students is found to be insufficient and requires nutritional education. The under weight group showed regular eating habits and increased nutrient intake. The obese group was shown to need more exercise with higher intakes of vegetables and fruits.

The purpose of this study was to compare the validity of obesity indices among the body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), and body fat percentage (BF%), and to determine which is the most useful index to predict the risk of chronic diseases of elderly people. This study was conducted as a cross-sectional study at welfare centers in Seoul. The total number of subjects was 261 (68 men and 193 women) with age ≥60 years. The distribution of obesity using 3 obesity indices in the subjects with hypertension, diabetes, or arthritis was BF%>WC>BMI in elderly men and WC>BF%>BMI in elderly women. In elderly women, odds ratios (ORs) for hypertension in BMI and WC quartiles were significantly increased in quartile 2 and 3 (p<0.05). The ORs for hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and arthritis in BF% quartiles were significantly increased in quartile 3 and 4 (p<0.05). The BF% was sensitive obesity index for predicting the occurrence of chronic disease in men, and the WC was sensitive index in women. Our results suggested maintaining BMI less than 23.5 kg/m2, WC less than 82 cm, and BF less than 35% in order to prevent chronic diseases in elderly women.

포란 기간 동안에 대양성 바다새들은 기아생태로 포란함으로써 커다란 몸무게 변화를 겪는다. 포란 동안에 몸무게의 심각한 변화를 겪는 슴새목 조류에서, 몸무게 조절은 포란 기간 동안에 그들의 포란 행동을 결정하는 중요한 요소로 작용할 것이다. 이 연구는 2013년 6월부터 8월까지 제주특별자치도 제주시 추자면에 위치하고 있는 무인도서인 사수도에서 번식하는 슴새를 대상으로, 포란 기간 동안 개체의 몸 크기, 몸 상태 그리고 포란 행동이 그들의 몸무게 조절에 어떠한 영향을 주는 지를 연구하였다. 연구결과를 보면, 포란하는 슴새 개체의 일별 몸무게 감소량은 그들의 몸 크기나 몸 상태와 관계가 없었으나, 둥지 내에서 포란 시도 횟수가 증가함에 따라 일별 몸무게 감소량도 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 또한, 몸 크기가 큰 개체일수록 일별 포란 시도를 많이 하는 경향을 보이고 있었다. 결과적으로 포란하는 개체의 몸 크기와 몸 상태는 그들의 일별 몸무게 감소와 관계가 없었지만, 일별 몸무게 감소량에 영향을 주고 있는 포란 시도 횟수는 그들의 몸 크기에 따라 조절되고 있었다. 따라서 포란 기간 동안에 번식 개체들의 몸 크기는 그들의 포란 행동을 결정하는 중요한 요소 중에 하나로 작용하고 있다.

This study is a cross-sectional study for conscripts with chronic low back pain, where it is designed to investigate general characteristics that conscripts with chronic low back pain carry, and it is also aimed to analyze the correlation as well as discrepancy within pain, depression and body mass index depending on their ranks. In this study, 90 Korean conscripts with chronic low back pain participated. And in order to analyze general characteristics as well as pain, depression and body mass index of the subjects, this study adopted a survey questionnaire upon general characteristics, and it also employed Visual Analogue Scacle(VAS) and Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression(CES-D) Scale which have proven their credibility, where BMI values for the subjects were calculated based on 'Asian Pacific standard' Body Mass Index(BMI). From the general characteristics exhibited by the subjects through this study, average age and average height of the subjects were 20.78±1.41 and 175.97±5.34 respectively; and corporals displayed the highest ratio of 42% with the chronic low back pain while 40% of the total subjects experienced the duration of the illness less than 6 to 9 months. Moreover, 57.8% of all subjects were reportedly suffering moderate pain, and 48% exhibited depression while 49% carried BMI value between 18.5 and 22.9kg/m2(normal range). Based on the analysis of correlation among pain, depression, discrepancy of BMI depending on the ranks and each independent variable, it appears that there is no significant difference amongst the ranks, and there is no correlation between independent variables; however, it was obvious that all groups divided by the ranks had a moderate pain(45-74mm), depression(≥16) and BMI value in normal range(18.5-22.9).

The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors influencing body mass index of 618 university students located in the Gwangju area, from Nov. 20th to 30th, 2002. The subjects included 301 males(48.7%) and 317 females(51.3%). This survey was conducted using a self-administered questionnaire. The percentage of students who were underweight, normal and overweight based on their body mass index(BMI) was 3.7, 88.0 and 8.3 for the males, and 29, 71 and 0 for the females, respectively. Most students (73.8%) skipped breakfast. This was because of lack of time(65.1%) of the cases. Self-reported eating habit problems were eating irregular meal(52.4%), overeating(21%), prejudiced meal(12.4%) and skipping meal(7.4%). The type of favorite snack was biscuit(31.9%) and cup Ramyon(31.9%). The type of favorite beverage was juice(23.3%). The coffee intake was higher in males compared to females. The rates of alcohol drinking in male and female students were 88.0% and 85.8% respectively, and the rates of smoking were 35.9% and 2.8% respectively. Percentages of weight control experience were 30.2 and 51.4 in the male and female, respectively. The BMI of students living in home and eating breakfast was higher than that of the other students. The BMI of students eating cup Ramyon and water increased. The BMI of students taking regular exercise and weight control tended to be higher than that of subjects not doing so. When the amount of pocket money available and the rates of coffee intake, alchol drinking and smoking increased, the BMI was increased. Therefore, nutritional education for university students is needed so as to improve their health and to modify life habits and nutritional education program should be developed to meet the various needs of these students.

The purpose of the this study was to investigate the dietary behavior and the food habits of university freshman according to body mass index. Questionnaire were completed by 532 students in university freshman. The data were analyzed by SAS program. The results were as follows : The means of normal group's height, weight were 175.00±5.98cm, 72.93±10.20kg for male students and 162.00±4.75cm, 51.97±4.98kg for female students. Under 20 of BMI(body mass index) among students were 69.7% for male and 9.6% for female. Twenty~twenty five(20~25) of BMI were 21.9% for male and 40.2% for female. The consumption of milk, oil and animal fat were significant according to BMI. There was high significant difference in the score of exercise and activity. In the self recognition of body shape 59.0% of male and 52.6% of female in normal weight group answered that their weight had to be a little thin. Self satisfaction rate was significantly higher in under weight group compared to normal weight group. This study suggest that a comprehensive nutrition education program is need for university students to improve desirable food habits and recognition of rate of figure.

In this study, vertical acceleration of center of mass was observed along normal gait phases in 9 healthy male volunteers (aged ). The developed wireless accelerometric device was attached on the intervertebral space between L3 and L4 using a semi-elastic waist belt. A three-dimensional motion analysis system, synchronized with the accelerometry, was used for detecting gait phases. There was no significant correlation between the body weight and the acceleration. The first peak curve covered loading response phase. The second downward peak point was matched accurately with the opposite toe-off. In mid-stance and terminal stance, the acceleration curve highly resembled the vertical ground reaction force curve. There was no significant difference in timing between the final upward peak point and the initial contact. Therefore, the developed accelerometry system would be helpful in determining determine temporal gait pattems in patients with gait disorders.

This study was designed to investigate food consumption patterns and nutrient intakes of college students, divided into subgroups of normal weight men (no.=140), normal weight women (no.=101), and underweight women (no.=155) by body mass index. Frequency of food eaten, nutrient intakes from each meal, percentages of RDAs, and nutrient densities were analyzed using 24-hour recall records. It was very interesting in these results as follows. Normal weight men ate on the whole more frequently than other groups. Underweight women had higher intakes of nutrient than did normal weight women. However normal weight women consumed food of greater nutrient density than did other college students. Consequently, it is desirable to suggest nutrient density of food than learn RDAs for adequate diet in nutritional education programs.

This study was undertaken to investigate the relationship between body mass index and the food habits of college students. For this purpose, 1030 students of Seoul National University were asked to fill out the questionnaires for the food habit and weight control. Actual weights were also measured, on the spot. The results obtained were as follows. 1. Average height and weight were 173.15 cm, 63.83 kg for male, and 160.52 cm, 52.73 kg for females. The prevalence of underweight, normal and overweight was 32.3, 61.7, 5.5%, respectively. 2. Food habit scores of obese females were lower than normal or underweight females. Male subjects did not show significantly different scores among three groups. 3. Female obese subjects have lower scores than the other groups on the balanced intake of five basic food groups and on the regular meal intakes. Male obese subjects have cholesterol-rich food and animal fat more frequently than normal and underweight males. Male underweight subjects have lower food habit scores on the balanced intake of five basic food groups. 4. Males want to gain weight slightly and females want to lose 4.65 kg weight. All females want to lose weights. Obese males and females want to lose 10 kg weights.

본 연구는 자동노출제어 (AEC; Automatic Exposure Control)를 이용한 복부 일반 X선 검사에서 체질량지수 (BMI; Body Mass Index)가 입사표면공기커마 (ESAK; Entrance Surface Air Kerma)에 미치는 영향에 대해 알아보았다. 연구방법은 AEC를 이용하여 복부 일반 X선 검사를 시행 받은 321명을 대상으로 키, 몸무게, BMI와 ESAK의 관계 및 BMI범주 (Underweight, Normal, Overweight, Obese 1, Obese 2)에 따른 평균 ESAK값을 비교하였다. 연구의 결과 몸무게 (R2=0.777, p<.001)와 BMI (R2=0.835, p<.001)는 ESAK와 양의 상관관계가 있었던 반면, 키 (R2=0.075, p<.001)와 BMI는 뚜렷한 상관관계를 확인할 수 없었다. BMI범주에 대한 평균 ESAK는 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였으며, 사후분석을 통해 유의수준 0.05에 대해 5개의 부집단이 존재하여 모든 BMI범주 간 ESAK값의 차이가 있는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 인접한 BMI간 ESAK값 증가폭이 Underweight에서 Obese 2로 갈수록 점차 늘어나 BMI가 증가할수록 피폭선량이 급격하게 증가되는 것을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 복부 일반 X선 검사에서 AEC를 사용할 경우 BMI가 증가함에 따라 과도한 선량이 조사될 수 있음을 인식하고 검사조건을 고정하여 촬영하는 등의 노력을 통한 선량저감화가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

비흡연자와 한국형 알코올 선별 검사법 (AUDIT-K)설문지 척도점수에 따라 적정음주군(10점 이하)을 연구대상으로 하여 뇌 백질의 손상 유무를 파악 할 수 있는 확산텐서영상을 검사하고 영상을 획득 한 후 Tract-Based Spatial Statics(TBSS)방법으로 뇌 백질 부위의 신경섬유로의 비등방도 FA(fractional anisotropy)값을 측정 분석한 결과 연령과 체질량지수(BMI)의 변인에 따른 뇌 백질 모든 영역에서 FA값은 통계적으로 유의하지 않았으며 본 연구의 결과 값으로 추측하자면 즉, 연령과 체질량지수(BMI)는 뇌 백질의 미세구조성 변화에 크게 영향을 미치지는 않는다고 할 수 있다.

본 연구는 신체활동과 심리수정을 토대로 한 비만관리 프로그램이 남자비만청소년들의 체중감소와 신체 활동수준 및 심리적 변인을 변화시키는데 효과가 있는지를 확인하는데 그 목적을 두고 수행되었다. 서울시 N구에 소재한 C중학교 남학생중, 체질량이 25kg/m2인 비만학생 86명이 자발적으로 비만관리 프로그램에 참여하였다. 비만관리 프로그램은 12주간 줄넘기 운동 (주 3회)과 심리수정 전략(주 2회)으로 구성되어 있으며, 1회 40분씩 실시되었다. 여가시간 신체활동 질문지, 운동자신감 질문지, 의사결정균형질문지가 연구참여자들의 신체활동 및 관련된 심리적 변인의 변화를 측정하기 위하여 사용되었다. 연구 참여자들의 일반적 특성은 기술분석에 의해 제시되었으며, 비만관리 프로그램의 효과를 검증하기 위하여 반복측정분산분석이 수행되었다. 비만청소년들의 체질량은 비만관리 프로그램을 통해 유의하게 감소 하였고 (F=4.89, p=.007), 신체활동량은 유의하게 증가하였다 (F=3.87, p=.025). 또한, 비만청소년들의 신체활동 자신감(F=4.38, p=.016)과 신체활동이득에 대한 지각 (F=4.07, p=.021)은 유의하게 증가한 반면, 신체활동의 지각된 장애요인 (F=4.15, p=.023)은 유의하게 감소하였다. 본 연구는 비만과학 및 운동과학 영역에서 비만관리 프로그램을 계획하고 적용하는데 있어 신체활동 뿐만 아니라, 신체활동에 영향을 주는 다양한 심리적 특성의 중요성을 고려하여야 한다는 것으로 제안한다.
