최근 가정생활과 식생활의 변화로 인해 소아비만이 점점 늘고있다. 고도 소아비만 환자 중 60% 이상은 고지혈증, 40% 이상은 지방간 소견을 보이며 고혈압 환자도 7%를 넘는다고 한다. 1981년까지 남녀 모두 0%대였지만 1997년도 이후 급증해 2002년도에는 남학생 1.5%, 여학생 0.7%로 늘어난 것이 고도 소아비만 환자다. 2006년도 조사에서 계속 증가하던 중고생들의 평균 신장이 최초로 줄었다는 통계도 나왔는데 이는 비만이 적지 않은 영향을 미친 것으로 알려져 있다. 우리 아이의 비만을 이대로 방치할 수 없는 수준에 이르렀다.

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.

Purpose: Obesity and headache are two highly prevalent diseases both in childhood and adolescent. In this study, we assessed the prevalence of obesity in pediatric headaches patients in a single institution in Korea, and differences according to age, sex, headache type, frequency, intensity, and disability. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 340 subjects (6-18 years of age) who visited the Pediatric Headache Clinic of Bucheon St. Mary's Hospital during the period from January 2015 through March 2018. Data on age, sex, height and weight, as well as headache type, frequency, intensity and disability, were collected. Body Mass Index (BMI) percentile was calculated based on the 2017 Korean Children Adolescence Growth Chart. Results: 17.6% of the pediatric headache patients were obese. The prevalence of obesity in male patients was higher than females (Male 23.8% VS Female 11.6%, P=0.002). There were no significant differences in obesity rate according to age, headache type, frequency, intensity, and disability. Conclusion: The prevalence of obesity in the pediatric headache population was 17.6% which is higher than 10.1% in general population (Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, KNHANES, 2013).

This study is important in its focus to find key clues in the marketing strategy, consumer behavior, and communication processes that define the infantile obesity market. The study, the first of its kind, surveyed a target audience, purchasing group, and housewives in their quest to determine purchasing decisions and effective branding strategy planning for the infantile obesity market. Another key component of the study was to focus on the key direct and/or indirect distribution channels for the subject market. Recently, obesity has emerged as a major social concern; some studies show that the onslaught of an adverse eating culture in Korea emanates from the prevalence of fast-food dining establishments. Obesity among children leads to adult obesity, especially if the young people's parents are overweight; notably, if either one or both of the parents are obese, the percentage of young people eventually being obese is approximately 80 to 85 percent. Because obesity is the cause of many major health concerns later in life, the struggle for a healthy life is considerably adversely affected by parents' consumer behavior. Infantile obesity, resulting in adult obesity, is also an important national economic and social issue. The sizable direct and indirect economic costs, as well as the tremendous social costs of obesity, cannot be overstated. Effective food branding and advertising centered on food preferences and dietary behaviors, especially to children, creates an effective marketing effort that, ultimately, leads to positive results. Thus, the purpose of this study is to demonstrate that the treatment of childhood obesity in Korea, through the activation of a brand and retail market, can effectively solve social and economic problems that result from infantile and childhood obesity. In this study, obesity markets and distribution channels in the purchase decision-making factors determining factor based on it effective inspection and branding strategies and brand marketing communications strategy proposed measures contribute to the obesity drug market and further enable the childhood obesity problem is intended to assist in solving.

최근 들어 점차 증가하고 있는 어린이 비만은 유전적인 요인이 강하게 미치고 있는 반면, 어린이 비만 발생에 영향을 미치는 환경요인으로 식이섭취의 습관 및 운동 등 생활습관이 중요한 요인으로 대두되고 있으며 또한 성장기 어린이비만은 육체적, 정신적인 위험이 내재되어 있다. 특히, 이시기의 소아비만의 약 80%가 성인기 비만으로 이환되며 최근 그 수요도 증가하고 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. 그러나 비만판정법으로 대부분이 신장이나 체중으로 판정하는 경우가 많고 아동의 비만을 적절하게 측정하는 지표에 대한 연구는 부족한 실정이다.(중략)

Purpose : Insulin resistance is the most important risk factor linked to the development of impaired glucose tolerance(IGT), diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular diseases in childhood and adolescent obesity, The purpose of this study was to see whether insulin resistance of obese adolescent is higher than that of obese children. and to analyze gender difference and affecting factors of insulin resistance. Methods : Of the 9,837 school children from 5 to 16 tears old, 92 obese children and 187 adolescent, underwent a two-hour oral glucose tolerance test and plasma glucose, insulin, lipid profiles, leptin and high sensitive C-reactive protein(hs-CRP) were measure. Results : Plasma insulin levels of female were higher compared to those of males during oral glucose tolerance test(P<0.05). Four(4.3%) in obese children and twenty five(13.3%) in obese adolescents met the criteria of IGT. Female, leptin, adiponectin and triglyceride concentrations were strongly correlated with homeostatic model assessment insulin-resistance(HOMA-IR) by multiple linear regression analysis(P<0.05). Conclusion : Obese adolescents might have higher insulin concentrations compared to obese children and obese girls higher insulin concentrations than obese boys. Obese boys and children with impaired glucose tolerance have higher insulin concentrations than those with normal glucose tolerance. HOMA-IR was significantly correlated with female, plasma leptin, adiponectin and triglyceride concentrations.

Purpose : The rising prevalence of childhood obesity may be due to an energy imbalance between food intake and energy expenditure. Recently, consumption of beverages in children has increased. The aim of this study is to provide useful information for the prevention and the control of childhood obesity by assessment of variable beverage consumption. Methods : Fight hundred seventy seven children(M : F=1 : 1.02, mean age; 9.7 years) from two primary schools in Seoul in May 2003 were enrolled. Body mass index(BMI) was calculated and the degree of obesity was classified into normal, overweight and obese groups by BMI percentile. Parental BMI, socio-economic factor, 3-day dietary intake, calory intake and beverage intake were examined by questionnaires. We researched beverages and classified them into six categories, milk, other milk products, soda, sports beverage, other beverage. Results : The prevalence of obesity was 7.2%. The parental BMI of the obese group were higher than those of the other groups. There was no significant difference in birth weight, or parents' intellectual and economic levels between the obese group and the other groups. There was no significant difference in daily total calory intake between the obese group and the other groups. The obese group of 7-9 year-old-males was higher than the other groups in sodas, and sports beverages intake. The obese group of 10-12 year-old-males was higher than the other groups in total beverage intake and other beverage intakes. The obese group of 10-12 year-old-females was higher than the other groups in other milk products. Conclusion : Excessive intake of beverages is associated with childhood obesity. Efforts to decrease intake of beverages may be important approaches to counter the rise in the prevalence of obesity.
