It is frequently observed that consumers' behavior and performance in their weight control are greatly affected by the degree of self-control by the consumers themselves. In other words, effective weight control behavior is only possible when the consumers invest a substantial amount of endeavors and self-control. The present study empirically investigated the effect of the self-image congruence and subjective norm formed by self- concept reflected in weight control behavior on weight control attitude formation, actual behavior, and performance. For more in-depth research, rather than simply showing differences in performance based on self-control, the present study divided the subjects into high and low self-control groups for a comparative purpose. Based on empirical research employing general consumers and those who were engaged in an actual weight loss program at professional weight control centers as subjects, the study found the following results: First, for both high and low self-control groups, self-image congruence significantly affected attitude toward weight control, but not the actual weight control behavior. The results indicate that in weight control, the actual behavior must be preceded by the attitude. Second, subjective norm directly affected both attitude toward weight control, and behavior for the low self-control group while it affected the behavior only for the high self-control group. The results show that the lower self-control is, the more powerful the effect of referents is. Third, weight control attitude positively affected weight control behavior only for the high self-control group. Fourth, weight control behavior significantly affected the performance for both high and low self-control groups. Compared to the low group, the high self-control group showed more powerful effect of behavior, suggesting the crucial role of self-control in successful weight control. The results also imply that the role of referents is relatively more important for the low self-control group.

뚱뚱한 아이들이 늘고 있다. 어린이 비만의 문제는 아이들이 뚱뚱하다는 것에서 그치지 않는다. 흔히 얘기하는 성인병을 어릴 때부터 앓게 하는가 하면, 어른이 되어서도 여전히 성인병의 늪에서 헤매이게 하는 커다란 원인으로 작용한다. 이렇게 무서운 어린이 비만을 해결하기 위해 한국사회체육센터(강동구 둔촌동 482-1105)에서는 비만아 체력단력교실을 ‘84년부터 열어오고 있다. 이 교실은 단기간에 살을 뺀다는 의미보다는, 비만아들에게 움직이는 것을 즐겁게 생각하도록 하고 자신감과 사회성을 갖도록 해주는데 더 큰 목적이 있다. 치료 위주가 아닌 예방의학적 차원의 건강관리와 밀접하게 접목되는 사회체육의 의미를 보여준 비만아 체력단련 교실의 프로그램과 의의를 소개한다.

비만이 대장암의 주요 위험인자인 것처럼, 복부비만은 대장 선종성 용종 발생에 영향을 미친다. 국내 한 연구진의 연구 결과, 복부비만이 있으면 선종성 용종 발생 위험이 약 1.5배 증가하는 것으로 나타났다.

세상이 뚱뚱해지고 있다. 수많은 국가에서는 비만 인구 비율이 지난 몇 십 년 만에 두 배가 되었다. 미국의 성인 절반이 비만이다. 멕시코 성인의 3분의 1이상, 호주와 영국 성인의 4분의 1 이상이 비만이다. 사하라 이남의 아프리카에서 조차도 도시 주민들 사이에서 비만인구가 급속히 증기하고 있다는 연구 결과가 있다.

Background: The purpose of this study is to analyze the effects of an abdominal obesity management program in middle-aged women in Korea. Methods: Examination of databases, including the Research Information Sharing Service, Database Periodical Information Academic, and Korean Studies Information, resulted in identification of 772 studies performed up to 2014, of which 43 satisfied the inclusion data. Data analysis was performed using R version 3.2 to calculate the effect sizes, explore possible causes of heterogeneity, and check for publication bias, using a funnel plot and its trim-and-fill analysis. Results: The mean effect size of the management program was small (g=0.22), along with the anthropometric index (g=0.18), metabolism index (g=0.21), fat-distribution (g=0.36), and inflammatory index (g=0.36). Moderator analysis was performed to determine heterogeneity, but no significant differences were found between the randomized controlled trial (RCT) group and non-RCT group. In addition, the length of the session was found to be statistically significant after performing a meta-regression. Finally, a funnel plot with a trim-and-fill analysis was produced to check for publication bias, but no significant bias was detected. Conclusion: Based on these findings, the abdominal obesity management program affects middle-aged women in Korea. Further research is needed to target other age groups with abdominal obesity.

최근 우리나라는 활동량은 적어지고 식생활의 서구화로 열량섭취가 증가하여 성인뿐만 아니라 소아에서도 비만증이 급격하게 증가하고 있다. 소아 및 청소년의 비만은 대개 증식형 비만 형태로 지방세포수가 일단 증가하면 체중조절이 어렵고, 특히 복부비만은 성인 비만으로 이행하기 쉬우며 실제로 어렸을 때 비만에 걸리면 그 중 60~80%가 성인 비만으로 이행된다고 보고되는 바 사회적 관심이 요구된다. 또한 성인과 마찬가지로 소아 비만 자체로도 고혈압, 고지혈증, 심혈관질환, 당뇨 등 다양한 합병증뿐만 아니라 우울증 및 다른 정신적 문제를 동반할 수 있어 보다 적극적인 치료가 필요하다.

전세계적으로 비만의 유병율이 빠르게 증가하고 각종 만성질환과의 관련성이 밝혀짐에 따라 세계보건기구는 1996년 비만을 치료가 필요한 질환으로서 인류의 건강을 침해할 주요 보건문제로 제안하였다. 우리나라의 비만 인구도 지속적으로 증가하여, 1998년도 국민건강영양조사에 따르면 약 26%가 비만이며, 또 매년 약 3%씩 증가하는 추세라고 한다. (중략)

Objectives : The risk of weight gain is high when using antipsychotic drugs, and the prevalence of obesity in people with mental illness is high. Obesity management in psychiatric patients is important because obesity causes various complications and lowers treatment adherence and quality of life. Methods : In this review, we summarized the management strategies for obesity that can occur when using antipsychotic drugs through a web search. Results : Evaluate obesity-related risk factors and related indicators from the beginning of treatment, and conduct regular monitoring. If an antipsychotic drug is used and obesity is induced, a change to a drug with a low metabolic risk may be attempted. Sufficient interventions are also needed on the need to manage obesity, a healthy diet, and exercises in patients and their families. If weight loss is not achieved and obesity-related complications are associated, the use of anti-obesity drugs may be considered. Pharmacological treatment approaches should be carefully considered. Conclusions : Non-pharmacological and pharmacological therapies can be applied to manage weight gain and obesity caused by the use of antipsychotic drugs. When using anti-obesity drugs, the characteristics of mental disorders, drug safety, and drug interactions should be considered.

우리나라의 비만아동의 문제는 이미 그 규모와 분포 면에서 미국이나 유럽아동에 못지 않은 심각한 수준에 이르고 있다. 아동비만은 청소년기 비만, 장년기 비만으로 이어지며, 이는 곧 만성퇴행성 질환으로 이어지는 보건영양문제로서 그대로 방치할 것이 아니라 교육이나 건강행위실천을 통해 미리 적극적으로 예방해야 하는 문제이다. 또한 비만아동에게는 자신감 상실, 우울증, 부정적 자기 신체상 등과 같은 사회 정서적 문제들이 나타날 수 있으므로 몸과 마음이 모두 건강한 국민 체력향상 차원과 국가 경제의 안정을 도모하는 차원에서 비만 아동을 적극적으로 관리해야 할 필요가 있다.

The obesity is a medical condition in which excess body fat has accumulated to the extent. It may have an adverse effect on health, leading to reduced life expectancy and increased health problems such as lifestyle disease, hypertension, and diabetes. Furthermore, it may cause the mental illness such as depression, bipolar disorder, anorexia, hyperphagia, and so on by shrinking psychologically. So, it is regarded as the serious worldwide social problem. Recently, although there are many general obesity care methods with various approaches, these can't be the radical obesity care because of the side effects such as surgery aftereffect, drug addiction, and so on. For these reasons, a methodical approach with a consideration of individual obesity pattern is strongly demanded. In this study, complex obesity care and management system which is overcome the weakness of non-surgical obesity treatment is proposed. And the individually adapted obesity treatment system with the far-infrared therapy module, oxygen therapy module, color therapy module, and microwave therapy module was developed. The complex obesity treatment system which is proposed in this study, could improve the efficiency of treatment by suggesting the various treatment protocols. And proposed system could be the foundation of the high quality obesity treatment system.
