본 연구는 자신의 외모나 체형에 많은 관심을 갖게 되는 여대생들을 대상으로 체질량지수에 따른 식생활, 식습관, 생활양식, 식생활의 질, 식품 기호도, 체중에 대한 만족도와 신체상, 이상 식이 행동의 정도 및 영양소 섭취량을 종합적으로 파악하여, 성인기 초기 여성의 바람직한 식습관과 생활습관 및 영양 관리를 통해 정상 체중과 건강 유지에 기여하고자 시도되었다. 1. 비만도에 따라 여대생의 신장은 유의한 차이가 없었으나, 체중(p<0.001), 체질량지수(p<0.001), 체지방 비율(p<0.001), 체지방 함량(p<0.001), 제지방 함량(p<0.001) 및 체수분량(p<0.001)은 비만도에 따라 유의한 차이가 있었다. 2. 비만도에 따라 여대생의 운동 시간은 유의한 차이를 보여(p<0.01), 저체중군과 정상 체중군은 운동을 하지 않는 경우가 가장 많았고 과체중군은 30분~1시간 운동하는 경우가 가장 많았다. 그러나, 여대생의 평균 연령, 경제 상태, 흡연율, 음주 빈도, 운동 빈도, 건강, 우울, 스트레스는 유의한 차이가 없었다. 3. 비만도에 따라 여대생의 하루 식사 회수, 결식 끼니, 과식 끼니 및 간식 횟수는 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았고, 수면 시간, 월경의 규칙성 및 건강 상태도 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 4. 비만도에 따라 여대생의 간이 식생활 진단 점수는 유의한 차이를 보여, 정상 체중군과 과체중군이 저체중군에 비해 유의하게 높았다(p<0.05). 5. 비만도에 따라 여대생의 단맛과 짠맛은 유의한 차이를 보여, 단맛(p<0.05)과 짠맛(p<0.01)에 대한 기호도는 저체중군이 과체중보다 유의하게 높았다. 비만도에 따라 여대생의 육류, 콩류 및 간식류에 대한 기호도는 유의한 차이를 보여, 육류에 대한 기호도는 저체중군이 정상 체중군과 과체중군에 비해 유의하게 높았고(p<0.05), 콩류에 대한 기호도는 정상 체중군과 과체중군이 저체중군에 비해 유의하게 높았으며(p<0.05), 간식류에 대한 기호도는 저체중군과 정상 체중군이 과체중군에 유의하게 높았다(p<0.05). 6. 비만도에 따라 여대생의 체중에 대한 만족도와 자신의 체형에 대한 인식은 유의한 차이를 보였다(각각 p<0.0001). 원하는 체중(p<0.0001)과 체중 조절의 경험(p<0.0001)도 비만도에 따라 유의한 차이를 보였다. 7. 여대생의 섭식 장애 발생율은 11.3%이었다. 비만도에 따라 EAT-26의 평균 점수는 유의한 차이가 있어(p<0.001), 과체중군이 저체중군과 정상 체중군에 비해 유의하게 높았다. 8. 비만도에 따라 여대생의 영양소 섭취량은 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 9. 체질량 지수와 유의한 양의 상관관계를 나타낸 신체 계측치는 체중, 체지방 비율, 체지방 함량, 제지방 함량 및 체수분량이었다. 체질량지수와 유의한 상관관계를 보인 변수는 용돈(p<0.01), 간식 빈도(p<0.001), 운동 지속 시간(p<0.001), 간이 식생활 진단 점수(p<0.05), 단맛(p<0.01), 짠맛(p<0.01), 간식(p<0.001) 및 인스턴트 음식(p<0.05)에 대한 기호도, 체중에 대한 만족도(p<0.001), 자신의 체형에 대한 인식(p<0.001), 체중 조절 경험(p<0.001), 탄수화물 섭취(p<0.05), 섭식 장애 점수(p<0.001) 및 요인 I(정체성 요인) 점수(p<0.001)이었다. 결론적으로, 비만도에 따라 체중, 체질량지수, 체지방 비율, 체지방 함량, 제지방 함량 및 체수분량은 유의한 차이가 있었다. 과체중군이 운동 시간이 많았고, 저체중군의 식생활의 질이 낮으며 짠맛, 단맛, 육류 및 간식에 대한 기호도가 높았다. 비만도가 높아질수록 체중에 대한 만족도가 낮았고 체형을 제대로 인식하였고 체중 조절 경험이 많았으며 섭식장애 점수가 높았다. 따라서 실제 과체중인 여대생은 자신의 체중에 대한 만족도가 낮아 이상 식이 태도를 보이는 것으로 나타났으므로 섭식문제를 해결하기 위한 다양한 프로그램의 개발과 함께 올바른 식습관과 운동 및 행동 수정 요법으로 체중을 조절하고 유지할 수 있도록 하여 섭식 문제와 체중 조절의 역작용을 예방하도록 하는 것이 필요하다고 생각된다. 저체중이거나 정상 체중임에도 체형에 대한 만족도가 낮아 올바른 신체상 정립의 문제로 체중을 감량하려는 여대생에게는 저체중의 문제점과 올바른 신체상 정립, 정상 체중에 대한 적극적인 교육을 통해 자신의 신체상과 적정 체중에 대한 올바른 인식을 가지고 불필요하게 체중을 감소시켜 건강을 해치는 일이 없도록 해야 할 것이다. 또한 섭취량이 낮은 영양소 특히 칼슘과 엽산 섭취를 증가시키는 방안에 대한 영양교육은 모든 여대생에게 필요하며, 정상 체중과 건강 유지를 위한 바람직한 식생활을 정립할 수 있도록 영양교육을 해야 할 것이다. 그러므로, 본 연구는 여대생의 잘못된 체형 인식, 식습관, 기호도, 생활습관 및 섭식 장애로 인한 건강문제를 올바로 인지하여 여대생에게 올바른 체중 조절 태도, 건강 관련 식습관 및 생활 습관을 사전 교육하게 하고 섭식 장애 문제를 예방하는 프로그램 개발의 기초 자료를 제공할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

The success of the family planning program in Korea is reflected in the decrease in the growth rate from 3.0% in 1962 to 2.0% in 1971, and in the decrease in the fertility rate from 43/1,000 in 1960 to 29/1,000 in 1970. However, it would be erroneous to attribute these reductions entirely to the family planning program. Other socio-economic factors, such as the increasing age at marriage and the increasing use of induced abortions, definitely had an impact on the lowered growth and fertility rate. Despite the relative success of the program to data in meeting its goals, there is no room for complacency. Meeting the goal of a further reduction in the population growth rate to 1.3% by 1981 is a much more difficult task than any one faced in the past. Not only must fertility be lowered further, but the size of the target population itself will expand tremendously in the late seventies; due to the post-war baby boom of the 1950's reaching reproductive ages. Furthermore, it is doubtful that the age at marriage will continue to rise as in the past or that the incidence of induced abortion will continue to increase. Consequently, future reductions in fertility will be more dependent on the performance of the national family planning program, with less assistance from these non-program factors. This paper will describe various approaches to help to the solution of these current problems. 1. PRACTICE RATE IN FAMILY PLANNING In 1973, the attitude (approval) and knowledge rates were quite high; 94% and 98% respectively. But a large gap exists between that and the actual practice rate, which is only 3695. Two factors must be considered in attempting to close the KAP-gap. The first is to change social norms, which still favor a larger family, increasing the practice rate cannot be done very quickly. The second point to consider is that the family planning program has not yet reached all the eligible women. A 1973 study determineded that a large portion, 3096 in fact, of all eligible women do not want more children, but are not practicing family planning. Thus, future efforts to help close the KAP-gap must focus attention and services on this important large group of potential acceptors. 2. CONTINUATION RATES Dissatisfaction with the loop and pill has resulted in high discontinuation rates. For example, a 1973 survey revealed that within the first six months initial loop acceptance. nearly 50% were dropouts, and that within the first four months of inital pill acceptance. nearly 50% were dropouts. These discontinuation rates have risen over the past few years. The high rate of discontinuance obviously decreases the contraceptive effectiveness. and has resulted in many unwanted births which is directly related to the increase of induced abortions. In the future, the family planning program must emphasize the improved quality of initial and follow-up services. rather than more quantity, in order to insure higher continuation rates and thus more effective contraceptive protection. 3. INDUCED ABORTION As noted earlier. the use of induced abortions has been increase yearly. For example, in 1960, the average number of abortions was 0.6 abortions per women in the 15-44 age range. By 1970. that had increased to 2 abortions per women. In 1966. 13% of all women between 15-44 had experienced at least one abortion. By 1971, that figure jumped to 28%. In 1973 alone, the total number of abortions was 400,000. Besides the ever incre.sing number of induced abortions, another change has that those who use abortions have shifted since 1965 to include- not. only the middle class, but also rural and low-income women. In the future. in response to the demand for abortion services among rural and low-income w~men, the government must provide and support abortion services for these women as a part of the national family planning program. 4. TARGET SYSTIi:M Since 1962, the nationwide target system has been used to set a target for each method, and the target number of acceptors is then apportioned out to various sub-areas according to the number of eligible couples in each area. Because these targets are set without consideration for demographic factors, particular tastes, prejudices, and previous patterns of acceptance in the area, a high discontinuation rate for all methods and a high wastage rate for the oral pill and condom results. In the future. to alleviate these problems of the methodbased target system. an alternative. such as the weighted-credit system, should be adopted on a nation wide basis. In this system. each contraceptive method is. assigned a specific number of points based upon the couple-years of protection (CYP) provided by the method. and no specific targets for each method are given. 5. INCREASE OF STERILIZA.TION TARGET Two special projects. the hospital-based family planning program and the armed forces program, has greatly contributed to the increasing acceptance in female and male sterilization respectively. From January-September 1974, 28,773 sterilizations were performed. During the same time in 1975, 46,894 were performed; a 63% increase. If this trend continues, by the end of 1975. approximately 70,000 sterilizations will have been performed. Sterilization is a much better method than both the loop and pill, in terms of more effective contraceptive protection and the almost zero dropout rate. In the future, the. family planning program should continue to stress the special programs which make more sterilizations possible. In particular, it should seek to add the laparoscope techniques to facilitate female sterilization acceptance rates. 6. INCREASE NUMBER OF PRIVATE ACCEPTORS Among the current family planning users, approximately 1/3 are in the private sector and thus do not- require government subsidy. The number of private acceptors increases with increasing urbanization and economic growth. To speed this process, the government initiated the special hospital based family planning program which is utilized mostly by the private sector. However, in the future, to further hasten the increase of private acceptors, the government should encourage doctors in private practice to provide family planning services, and provide the contraceptive supplies. This way, those do utilize the private medical system will also be able to receive family planning services and pay for it. Another means of increasing the number of private acceptors, IS to greatly expand the commercial outlets for pills and condoms beyond the existing service points of drugstores, hospitals, and health centers. 7. IE&C PROGRAM The current preferred family size is nearly twice as high as needed to achieve a stable poplation. Also, a strong boy preference hinders a small family size as nearly all couples fuel they must have at least one or more sons. The IE&C program must, in the future, strive to emphasize the values of the small family and equality of the sexes. A second problem for the IE&C program to work. with in the: future is the large group of people who approves family planning, want no more children, but do not practice. The IE&C program must work to motivate these people to accept family planning And finally, for those who already practice, an IE&C program in the future must stress continuation of use. The IE&C campaign, to insure highest effectiveness, should be based on a detailed factor analysis of contraceptive discontinuance. In conclusion, Korea faces a serious unfavorable sociodemographic situation- in the future unless the population growth rate can be curtailed. And in the future, the decrease in fertility will depend solely on the family planning program, as the effect of other socio-economic factors has already been maximumally felt. A second serious factor to consider is the increasing number of eligible women due to the 1950's baby boom. Thus, to meet these challenges, the program target must be increased and the program must improve the effectiveness of its current activities and develop new programs.
