In the questionnaire encompasses general characteristics, daily life style factors, dietary habits, attitude toward body type and weight control, and subjective fatigue symptoms. As a results, the affecting factors on the subjective fatigue symptoms were selected various factors such as frequency of the one food, frequency of dining out, having dinner, frequency of instant food intake, frequency of cereal, ice-cream intake, frequency of bean, soybean product intake, frequency of milk, milk product intake, consider excessive intake of sugar, consider excessive intake of salt, self-perception on body type and desire to control weight. Therefore, we can find out that their subjective fatigue symptoms are correlated to the factors in dietary habits, attitude toward body type and weight controls. It is concluded dietary habits and attitude toward body type and weight control themselves cause one's subjective fatigue symptoms, not because of each variables. So, it need efforts of having regular diets, making balanced body and controling body weights by objective ranges.

본 연구는 여자대학생을 대상으로 식생활 습관, 체형 및 체중조절태도와 피로자각증상과의 관련성을 검토할 목적으로 대전광역시의 6개 대학에 재학하고 있는 1~4학년 여자대학생 508명을 대상으로 2012년 4월 1일부터 5월 31일까지의 기간 동안에 자기기입식조사표(self administered questionnaire)에 의해 설문조사 하였다. 조사내용은 조사대상학생들의 기본적 속성 및 일상생활 상황, 식생활습관, 체형 및 체중조절 태도, 피로자각증상에 관한 항목으로 구성하였다. 연구결과, 피로자각증상에 영향을 미치는 변수로는 한 가지 음식만의 식사. 외식 빈도, 저녁식사의 섭취상황, 인스턴트식품 섭취빈도, 시리얼 및 아이스크림 섭취빈도, 콩류 및 콩 제품류 섭취빈도, 우유 및 유제품류 섭취빈도, 설탕의 과잉섭취에 대한 주의, 식염의 과잉섭취에 대한 주의, 체형의 자기평가, 체중조절의 지향 등의 식생활습관, 체형 및 체중조절 태도에 관련된 여러 변수들이 유의한 변수로 선정되었다. 따라서 건전한 식생활습관을 하기 위한 노력이나 보다 더 객관적인 평가에 의한 체형 및 체중조절의 자기평가가 이루어지도록 노력하는 것이 필요하다고 본다.
