The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of abdominal massage, on abdominal bloating and the recovery of bowel movement after sleep colonoscopy. The study design is the time difference before and after the non-equality control. The subjects were 22 patients each in experimental group and control group who recieved sleep colonoscopy at the G hospital in C city, The data collection period was from June 1, 2018 to August 25, 2018, and the control group's data were first collected with time difference from the collection of experimental group's data to prevent the spread of the experiment. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS 24.0 and tested by independent sample t-test, $x^2-test$ and Fisher's exact probability test to verify the homogeneity of general characteristics of the subjects. Shapiro-Wilk was used to verify the normality of the abdominal circumference changes in the experimental and control groups. Mann-Whitney U test was used to verify the pre-homogeneity of the abdominal circumference of the subjects. The experimental results were verified by Fisher's exact probability test, Friedman test and Mann-Whitney U test. These results suggest that the abdominal massage can be used as a nursing intervention after sleep colonoscopy by reducing the gas discharge time($x^2=19.75$, p<.001) and abdominal bloating($x^2=29.93$, p<.001).

Background: Abdominal obesity as measured by waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) may have stronger and inverse associations with cardiovascular (CV) health than overall obesity as measured by body mass index (BMI). However, there was some challenges for controversies. We aimed to examine the associations of WHtR and BMI with CV health among Korean children using data of the 2010-2012 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with the sample of 2,363 children by analyzing by gender and two-age groups (10-12 and 13-18 years). Overall obesity was categorized into 3 groups by BMI percentile: non-overweight (<85), overweight (${\geq}85$), and obesity groups (${\geq}95$). Abdominal obesity was categorized into 2 groups by WHtR: normal (<0.5) and abdominal obesity groups (${\geq}0.5$). The CV health score was defined as a z-score by calculating the sum of 7 CV factors. Results: The overweight/obesity groups had significantly lower CV health scores than the normal group (P<0.05) in boys and girls aged either 10-12 years or 13-18 years after adjusting for covariates. The abdominal obesity group also showed significantly lower CV health scores than the normal group (P<0.05) in all the groups; this significant association remained significant in boys aged 13-18 years even after further adjusting for BMI category (P<0.01). Conclusions: Among boys aged 13-18 years, abdominal obesity as measured by WHtR was significantly and inversely associated with CV health, independent of BMI category. Therefore, it should be considered to assess the level of abdominal obesity as a measure of CV health in late adolescent boys.

대사증후군은 비만, 이상지혈증, 고혈압, 당뇨병이나 내당능 장애가 동반되어 나타나는 증후군이다. 근래 들어 우리나라도 점차 비만 인구가 증가함에 따라 대사증후군의 유병률이 빠르게 증가하는 추세를 보여. 대사증후군에 대한 간단한 개념 정리를 하였다. 먼저 대사증후군의 정의와 진단기준을 살펴보았다. 1998년 대사증후군을 명명하고 진안기준을 제시한 WHO 진단기준, NCEP-ATP III 진단기준, 인슐린 저항성 증후군의 진단기준을 살펴보고, 기타 인종에 따른 허리 둘레 기준 및 IDF 정의를 살펴 보았다. 또한 대사증후군과 관련된 여러 인자들도 다시 확인해보고, AHA/NHLBI 진단 기준도 살펴 보았다. 우리나라는 대부분 연구에서 NCEP-ATP III 기준을 적용하고 있는데, 그 내용은 복부 비만 허리둘레 남자 102cm 이상, 여자 88cm 이상, 중성 지방 150mg/dl 이상, HDL-콜레스테롤 남자 40mg/dl 미만, 여자 50mg/dl 미만, 혈압 130/85 mmHg 이상, 공복 혈당 110mg/dl 이상이다. 복부 비만의 경우는 2000년 제정된 WHO 서태평양 지역 기준인 남자 90cm, 여자 80cm 이상으로 적용하고 있다. 다음 치료의 기본 개념을 간단히 언급 하였는데, 가장 중요한 치료는 우선적으로 생활 습관의 개선을 꼽을 수 있으며, 기타 약물요법 및 인슐린 저항성 개선제 등이 있다. 우리나라 에서도 심혈관계 질환과 당뇨병이 점차 사망 원인의 우위를 차지 하고 있으므로 대사증후군을 초기에 진단하고 관리하는 노력이 매우 필요할 것으로 생각되며, 생명보험사도 대사증후군을 하나의 증후군으로 인식하여 대사증후군의 전반적인 이해가 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of an abdominal obesity management program on dietary intake, stress index, and waist to hip ratio (WHR) in abdominally obese women. The subjects were 195 adult abdominally obese women (WHR ${\geq}$ 0.80) who had been participating in a nutrition education (total of nine times) and dietary habits and life style modification programs (total of six times) for 12 weeks. The abdominal obesity management program focused on the nutrition provided by breakfast, lunch, and dinner, proper dietary habits, and practices to improve life style. The subjects were divided into a WHR decrease group and a WHR increase group according to changes in the WHR. Daily nutrient intake was assessed with a 3-day food record, body measurements and blood vessel age, stress index, and a health index that were measured at baseline and after 12 weeks. After the intervention, weight, waist circumference, hip circumference, WHR, and body mass index (BMI) decreased significantly in the WHR decrease group. Energy intake increased from 1486.2 kcal to 1541.4 kcal with a significant improvement in nutrient density for animal protein, total fat, animal fat, fiber, calcium, phosphorus, zinc, vitamin $B_6$, vitamin C, vitamin E, and saturated fatty acids in the WHR decrease group. Additionally, dietary diversity increased significantly in the WHR decrease group compared to that in the WHR increase group. The WHR decrease group showed a significant improvement in the stress and health indices. Changes in WHR were correlated with changes in nutrient intake (animal protein, total fat, animal fat, plant fat, fiber, calcium, iron, potassium, vitamin A, vitamin $B_2$, vitamin $B_6$, vitamin C, and folate) and medical index profiles (stress and indices) adjusted for age, birth status, baseline BMI, and baseline WHR. These results show that an abdominal obesity management program was effective not only for reducing the WHR but also to improve dietary intake and the stress index in abdominally obese women.

최근 우리나라의 암 발생률은 꾸준히 증가추세에 있고 그 중에서도 전립선암은 갑상선암을 제외했을 때 남성에서 가장 높은 증가 추세를 보이고 있는 암이다. 전립선암은 그 동안 선진국에서 주로 발병하는 것으로 알려진 암 종이지만 서구화된 식습관과 생활 행태 변화로 인하여 국내에서도 발생률이 증가하는 것으로 추정하고 있다. 따라서 국내 환경에 맞는 내장 지방 분포와 같은 정확한 비만도 측정을 통해 우리나라에서 증가율 1위를 보이고 있는 전립선암 발생의 원인 관계를 찾고자 한다. 본 연구는 환자와 정상군 비교를 하는 환자-대조군 연구이고 본 연구를 위하여 임상시험 윤리위원회 (IRB) 승인을 받았다 (NCC2014-0124). 환자군은 2014년 8월 1일부터 2015년 1월 6일 까지 국립암센터를 방문하여 전립선암을 진단받고 수술과 항암치료 그리고 방사선 치료를 시작하지 않은 초진을 대상으로 하였고, 정상군은 2009년 11월부터 2014년 9월 30일까지 공단검진을 목적으로 국립암센터를 방문한 정상인을 대상으로 하였다. 전립선암 연구는 환자 총 52명에 평균 66세 (51 - 82세)이고 정상군은 총 50명에 평균 64세 (59 - 75세) 이다. 모든 연구 대상자들의 생활 요인 평가를 위하여 암 가족력, 흡연, 음주 상태, 운동, 등을 추가적으로 설문 조사하였다. MRI 영상의 배꼽 주위에서의 내장 지방과 피하지방을 전용 분석 컴퓨터를 활용하여 측정 하였다. 복부비만율은 환자군과 정상군에서뿐만 아니라 (p = 0.03), 전립선암 악성도와 (Gleasonscore; p = 0.001)도 통계적 차이를 나타냈다. 하지만 BMI 결과와는 전립선암 발생과 악성도에서 무관함을 보인 것에 반해 허리둘레는 전립선암의 발생에 영향을 미치는 결과를 나타났다. 한편 전립선암의 또 다른 악성도 지표인 PSA는 비만 측정치와의 상관성이 Gleason score와 보다 대체적으로 낮게 나타났다. 학력, 운동량, 흡연, 음주 상태와 같은 생활 특성에 따른 전립선암 발생의 영향 관계는 뚜렷하지 않았다. 결론적으로 본 연구를 통해서 전립선암의 발생 위험도와 악성도 지표로 복부 비만도가 유용함을 나타냈고 간단한 신체 계측 지표 활용으로는 BMI보다 허리둘레 측정치가 더 암 발생의 연관성이 높음을 보였다.

Abdominal obesity is increasing due to a decrease in physical activity and westernization of diet in busy daily life. Therefore, in order to satisfy the desire for body shape management, a management program with high efficiency versus time is needed. In this study, the diet-gel (i.e., slimming cosmetics) with the electrical muscle stimulation therapy was used to promote the effect of reducing waist circumference and body fat mass (or abdominal fat). For men and women in their twenties, the subjects simply applied diet-gel to their waist, wore EMS, and massaged for 20 minutes twice a day after waking up and before going to sleep. The experiment period was carried out for 2 weeks. The reduction of subcutaneous fat was observed using non-contrast CT, and it was confirmed by measuring waist circumference and body fat mass. In conclusion, the developed EMS and diet-gel combination program showed excellent waist management effects by reducing waist circumference by about 3 cm (p<0.001) and body fat mass by about 1 kg (p<0.01). This result suggests that the use of EMS shows a massage effect by muscle stimulation, and plays a role in promoting fat decomposition by helping the absorption of diet gel.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of wild ginseng complex (WGC) pharmacopuncture combined with hyperthermia on abdominal obesity in post-menopause women. Two post-menopausal women were treated 5 times in 2 weeks with WGC pharmacopuncture on abdominal acupoints and 30 minutes of hyperthermia on abdominal area. Before treatment and after 5 treatments were finished, body weight (BW), body mass index (BMI), body fat ratio, waist circumference (WC), waist hip ratio, thickness of abdominal subcutaneous fat (ASF) were measured. In case 1, BW, BMI, WC, and ASF were reduced by 0.6 kg, $0.2kg/m^2$, 6 cm, and 18 mm respectively. In case 2, BW, BMI, WC, and ASF were reduced by 0.4 kg, $0.17kg/m^2$, 4.6 cm, and 12 mm respectively. This suggest that combined therapy of WGC pharmacopuncture and hyperthermia might be an effective treatment for abdominal obesity in post menopause women.
