현대사회에서 청소년기에 발생하는 영양문제 중 가장 빈번히 나타나는 청소년기 비만은 성인 비만으로 이행되기 쉬우며, 당뇨병, 지방간, 고혈압과 같은 각종 성인병의 발생과도 관련이 있다. 또한 체형에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있는 현대사회에서 편견의 대상이 됨으로 인한 심리적 장애를 발생시키기도 한다. 이에 따라 비만인의 체중조절을 위한 다양한 교육프로그램들이 실시되고 있는데, 현재까지의 실시되고 있는 프로그램들은 강의식교육이 주류를 이루고 있어 적극적인 교육효과를 이끌어 내는데 많은 한계점을 가지고 있었다. 이에 본 연구자들은 지역보건소를 중심으로 2박 3일간의 청소년 캠프 프로그램을 통하여 VTR감상, CAN-Pro를 이용한 섭취 식단의 평가 및 영양상담, 영양뷔페, 역할극, 다양한 영양지식 응용게임, 일상생활에서 활용가능 한 운동교육, 비만의 원인과 건강과의 관련성 및 식사요법 등에 대한 강의를 실시하였다. 캠프 참가자들은 부천시에 거주하는 중학생으로 사전에 신장과 체중에 대한 조사를 바탕으로 비만으로 판정된 총 42명(남 28명, 여 14명)으로 하였다. 캠프 시작전과 후에 설문조사를 통하여 영양지식, 영양태도, 자아만족도에 관한 조사를 실시하여 프로그램 직후의 효과를 판정하였고, 일상적인 영양소섭취상태를 평가하기 위해 24시간 회상법을 통하여 캠프참가 전날의 식이섭취 조사를 실시하였다. 대상자의 평균 연령은 13.9세로 남녀학생 간에 유의적인 차이가 없었으며, 신장은 남학생이 160.7cm, 여학생이 156.8cm였다. 체중, 체질량지수, 비만지수, 허리엉덩이둘레비 및 체지방 함량은 남학생이 각각 75.5kg, 29.1kg/$m^2$, 30.1, 0.89, 33.3%이었고, 여학생이 각각 67.8kg, 27.5kg/$m^2$, 25.3, 0.81, 34.6%였다. 영양소 섭취량에 대한 분석결과 열량의 경우 남학생이 2137.7㎉, 여학생이 2059.7㎉ 섭취수준을 보였으며, 총열량에 대한 당질, 단백질, 지질의 섭취 비율은 남학생 57:14:29, 여학생 60:13:26으로 남여학생 모두 총열량에 대한 지질의 섭취 비율이 높았다. 프로그램의 효과 평가를 위하여 남녀중학생을 모두 합하여 비교하였을 때 프로그램 실시 후 영양태도가 유의적으로 향상되었으며(p<0.001), 자아만족도 및 영양지식에 있어서는 유의적인 변화가 나타나지 않았다. 그러나, 성별로 분류하여 비교 시 남학생은 영양태도(p<0.01)와 영양지식(p<0.05)이 유의적으로 향상되었고, 여학생의 경우에는 영양태도(p <0.01)에서만 유의적인 향상을 나타내었다. 이상의 결과에서 2박 3일간의 청소년 캠프는 남녀 비만중학생에 있어 영양태도의 향상을 가지고 왔으며, 남학생의 경우에는 영양지식에도 유의적인 향상이 나타났다. 그러나 영양교육의 효과가 실제적인 영양소섭취 및 비만도의 변화에 영향을 미치는지를 알아보기 위해서는 지속적인 추적 관리를 통한 효과판정이 필요한 것으로 보여진다.

This study (1) explores female consumers' attitudes toward fat people and perceptions about plus-size models, (2) addresses female consumers' responses to models with different body sizes, and (3) examines the effect of plus-size model presence on female consumers' body image. We collected an online questionnaire from a total of 600 female participants in their 20's and 30's. Stimuli included six full-colored photo images of models with thin and plus body sizes (three in each group). Images were captured from the online shopping site of the fashion brand currently providing both average and plus-size clothes. Respondents were randomly assigned one of the groups by model size. Results support the sociocultural perspective that a thin/ideal body of models has a negative influence on female viewers' sociocultural attitudes toward appearance, mood state and body satisfaction. Findings also suggest that exposure to plus-size models can reduce negative media effects on females body image perceptions, regardless of individual body size.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between obesity indices, nutritional knowledge, nutritional intake status, and some blood parameters in obese middle-school students. Anthropometric measurement, 24-hour recall for dietary intake, blood analysis and Questionnaire response including nutritional knowledge, nutritional attitude, and self-satisfaction were conducted in 42 obese middle-school students (28 male and 14 female) participated in the nutritional camp program carried by Bucheon district public health center in Kyunggi-do. The mean age of subjects was 13.9 years. The average body weight, BMI, obesity index, WHR and percent body fat were 75.5 kg, 29.1 kg/$m^2$, 30.1, 0.89 and 33.3% in male subjects, and 67.8 kg, 27.5 kg/$m^2$, 25.3, 0.81 and 34.6% in female subjects. The average nutritional attitude, the self-satisfaction and the nutritional knowledge scores were no significant difference between male and female subjects. Average intake of energy were 85.5% of RDA in males and 98.1% of RDA in females. The percentage of energy from fat was higher in both male (29%) and female (26%) subjects than recommended level. Calcium, iron, zinc, vitamin A, vitamin B$_2$, vitamin C, niacin and folate intakes were below the RDA for them. In the results of correlation analysis, body weight, BMI and obesity index were positively correlated with systolic blood pressure and cholesterol intake. There was a negative correlation between percent body fat and nutritional knowledge. Body weight was negatively related to HDL-cholesterol, whereas it has positive relation with RBC, hemoglobin and hematocrit. BMI and obesity index were negatively related to HDL-cholesterol, but positively related to RBC, respectively. WHR showed positive relationship with serum GPT, glucose and MCV.

This study was carried out to investigate perception about body image, dietary attitude, nutrient intake and dietary self-efficacy of high school students in Pusan. A questionaire survey was distributed among 491 high school students. The survey was conducted from April 8 to April 22 in 2002. The results are summarized as follows. Forty percents of the underweight group, 53.9% of the normal weight group, 61.8% of the overweight group and 48.2% of obesity group have correct perception about their body image. Most of the students were concerned with their body image and weight control. Obesity of parents was significantly correlated with obesity of the subjects (p<0.01). The higher obesity rate, the lower dietary self-efficacy. The higher dietary self-efficacy, the higher dietary attitude. There was a significant positive correlation between the education level of their parents and dietary attitude of the subjects (p<0.01) and a significant negative correlation between obesity rate of their mothers and dietary attitude of the subjects (p<0.01). Dietary attitude scores showed no significant difference among the groups. Intakes of most nutrients, except protein, niacin and vitamin C, were lower than those of the recommended dietary allowances for Koreans. Therefore, proper nutrition education is required to improve their nutritional status and dietary self-efficacy.

This study was intended to collect the baseline information on health status, nutrient intakes and dietary self-efficacy according to the obesity levels of male workers. Nutrient intakes of 224 male workers were assessed by 24 hr recall method; also, dietary attitude and dietary self-efficacy were investigated by self-administerd questionnaires. Biochemical characteristics such as blood pressure (SBP, DBP), total cholesterol(TC), hemoglobin (Hb), blood glucose (BG), SGOT, SGPT and ${\gamma}-GTP$ were assessed. Subjects were divided into normal, overweight and obese groups by body mass index (BMI). The health status was analyzed as normal group, health concerned group and disease suspected group. Weight, percent ideal body weight (PIBW), BMI and body circumference (waist, hip) and waist-hip ratio were high in the order of obese group, overweight group and normal group. Body fat mass was high also in the order of obese, overweight and normal group. Blood pressure (SBP, DBP) was the highest in obese group. SGOT, SGPT, ${\gamma}-GTP$ were higher in the obese group than normal and overweight groups. It was Proven that the percentage of those evaluated as low nutrient intakes were 71% for Ca, 50.9% for Zn, 70.5% for vitamin B2, 56.3% for vitamin C and 81.3% for folic acid. The dietary attitude scores were high according to the dietary self-efficacy. The age was positively correlated with dietary attitude, and the dietary attitude was positively correlated with dietary self-efficacy and total energy intakes. Dietary attitude showed the greatest total causal effect in relation to dietary self-efficacy. The results of this study showed some health problems and nutritional problems, indicating the need for nutritional management for male workers.

Purpose: Concerns about accelerated aging are regularly being discussed. This study analyzed the dietary status and nutritional intake of college students who are about to enter their 30s and 40s. We further suggest ways to eat healthily. Methods: Totally, 67 students attending Daegu Catholic University were provided with a three-day meal record and analyzed. Results: The average demographics of the subjects were as follows: age 23.2 ± 2.0 years, height 165.1 ± 9.0 cm, weight 65.4 ± 13.6 kg, and BMI 23.5 ± 3.9 kg/m². Overall, 76.3% of the subjects skipped breakfast. The food intake evaluation according to the food group intake pattern and the recommended number of servings determined that 38.3% of the subjects did not consume fruits and dairy products (GMVFDS = 111001), and both men and women lacked all food groups. Analysis of the nutrient intake state revealed lesser nutrient intake than the estimated energy need. Evaluation of the %RDA found that consumption of phosphorus was above the recommended amount, whereas all other nutrients were below the recommended amount. Men had a higher intake rate of phosphorus (p < 0.01), iron (p < 0.001), and sodium (p < 0.05) than women, whereas the intake rate of dietary fiber was higher in women (p < 0.05). Evaluation of the food intake by 22 food categories revealed that intake of regular grains was more in men than in women (p < 0.05) whereas women consumed significantly more mixed grains (p< 0.01). In protein foods, men consumed more meat (p < 0.01), while women consumed more eggs (p < 0.05) and beans (p < 0.05). Evaluating the fruit intake, juices were more frequently consumed by men than by women (p < 0.05). No differences were obtained in food intake and nutrient intake status according to obesity. Conclusion: Based on these results, there is an urgent requirement for attention and support for university cafeterias in order to induce changes in the eating habits of college students. Among other initiatives, this can be achieved by providing diet improvement programs and menus that consider food preferences.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the relations of children's skipping meals after researching eating habits and lifestyle, parents' appreciation in nutrition behavior and dietary intake, throughout the research based on 4th to 6th grade students, total of 362 children at an elementary school in Inchoen. There were 104 students in skipping meals group and 258 students in eating meals group, with the average ages of 10.9, and 10.8, respectively. The average height and weight were 144.5 cm, 38.6 kg for skipping meals group, and 145.7 cm, 39.3 kg for eating meals group. Parents' appreciation of importance in breakfast showed a significant difference in whether children skip the meals or not (p<0.01). 43.7% of parents in skipping meals group answered that they serve breakfast everyday, compared to eating meals group with the percentage of 94.9%, showing significant difference in frequency of serving breakfast for their children (p<0.001). The skipping meals group answered that the reason they do not have breakfast is because they do not have time, which showed the highest percentage of 41.2%. For the eating meals group, 40.5% of students answered that they do not have appetite, which also showed difference (p<0.001). The skipping meals group tended to wake up later than those who have breakfast in the morning(p<0.01). The breakfast time for skipping meals group was later than the eating meals group, and according to whether they have breakfast of not, it showed a difference as well(p<0.01). Total score of nutrition attitude in skipping meals group and eating meals group were 30.8 and 32.1, showing that eating meals group showed more good in nutrition attitude (p<0.05). Daily intakes of energy (p<0.01) and protein (p<0.01) in skipping meals group were significantly lower than those in eating meals group. Skipping meals group bad lower rates in INQs of protein (p<0.01) and zinc (p<0.01), showing that skipping meals group is having low quality meals in nutrition. In conclusion, this study revealed that students with skipping meals are more likely to have meals that lacks nutrition or have low quality meals, and the time of rising hour in the morning, frequency of eating snacks can also affect whether or not they skip meals.

Purpose: We assumed that an obese patient has a high rate of postoperative wounds, but there is no objective data showing the relationship between the body mass index (BMI) and the rate of postoperative wounds in Korea. We describe the relationship of BMI and rates of postoperative wound complications. Materials and Methods: From September 2005 to February 2006, 772 patients undergoing elective gastrectomy surgery due to gastric cancer were enrolled in a retrospective study to measure postoperative wound complications. A preoperative history, physical examination and daily progress notes were reviewed retrospectively from the medical records. Postoperative wound complications were detected from the elective medical record and from a doctor in charge statement. Results: The total number of patients was 772, the mean age of the patients was $57{\pm}11.2$ years and the sex ratio (male/female) was 1.82:1. Postoperative wound complication rates were different among the BMI groups (BMI < $20\;kg/m^2$ vs $20{\leq}BMI{\leq}25\;kg/m^2$ vs >$25\;kg/m^2$), and patients with a BMI>$25\;kg/m^2$ that underwent gastrectomy had a significantly higher wound complication rate (4.6%) than underweight and normal weight patients (0.9% and 1.6%, respectively) (P=0.038). Conclusion: Overall, there was a statistical correlation between BMI and the postoperative wound complication rate. Overweight (BMI>$25\;kg/m^2$) patients that underwent gastrectomy had a higher wound complication rate than normal body weight ($BMI{\leq}25\;kg/m^2$) patients. Further studies will be required with a larger population and prospectively designed study considering other factors that affect the wound complication rate.
