Abstract

The purpose of this study was to survey body image according to BMI. The subjects were 600 students, data were collected by questionnaire surveys using convenience sampling and analyzed by the SPSS 20.0 program. Body mass index(BMI) and body image between high school and college students were significantly different. Although significant difference between two groups, BMI of high school and college students among women were not significant difference. BMI and body image according to gender were significantly different. Body image according to BMI between men and women were significantly different and expecially subjects of under weight had highest body image(F =15.86, p <.001). These results mean that body weight misunderstood by the early adulthood. It is needed to revise of perception on their own body weight in order to improve body image.

일개 지역 남녀 고등학생과 대학생의 신체질량지수에 따른 신체상을 파악하기 위한 서술적 조사 연구로 D광역시 소재 남녀 고등학생과 대학생을 대상으로 2010년 3월 22일부터 4월 1일까지 설문조사를 실시하여 600부를 본 연구에서 사용하였다. 자료 분석은 SPSS 20.0 program으로 분석하였다. 연구결과는 신체질량지수에 따라서 고등학생과 대학생, 남녀 모두 신체상은 유의한 차이가 있었으며(F =15.86, p <.001), 신체상에서 남학생은 고등학생과 대학생 사이에 유의한 차가 없었으나 여학생은 대학생의 신체상이 고등학생에 비해 유의하게 낮았다. 이상의 결과로 볼 때, 비만인 대상자보다도 정상체중인 대상자의 신체상이 더 낮은 것을 고려한다면 고등학생과 대학생의 올바른 체중에 대한 인식변화가 필요함을 알 수 있으며 이를 위한 교육프로그램 개발이 요구된다.
