초등학교 4학년 아동 134명을 대상으로 신체상 및 신체상의 인지도와 만족도를 조사하고 식습관과 영양상태와의 관련성을 분석하였다. 희망하는 신체상에는 성별에 의한 차이가 존재하였는데 남학생에 비하여 여학생의 희망 신체상이 더 날씬한 모습이었으며, 정상체중의 남학생과 달리 과체중 및 비만 남학생, 정상체중 여학생, 과체중 및 비만 여학생은 자신의 현재 신체상에 비해 희망하는 신체상이 더 날씬한 모습인 것으로 나타났다. 정상체중군과 달리 과체중 및 비만군의 거의 대부분은 희망 신체상보다 자신의 신체상이 큰 신체상 불만족의 상태였다. 희망 신체상보다 자신의 신체상이 큰 신체상 불만족은 상대적으로 낮은 식습관 점수와 관련되어 있었는데 특히 규칙적인 식생활과 낮은 일일 식사 빈도 및 낮은 채소의 섭취 빈도와 관련되어 있는 것으로 나타났다. 정상체중군에 비하여 많은 수의 과체중 및 비만군은 현재 자신의 신체크기를 실제 비만도보다 낮게 인지하는 신체상 과소평가의 상태였다. 신체상 과소평가군은 정확한 인지군에 비해 아침식사의 빈도와 식사시간의 규칙성이 낮았고 외식이나 배달음식의 이용 빈도가 높은 등 상대적으로 좋지 않은 식습관을 가지고 있었으며, 낮은 단백질 섭취 수준과 높은 지질 섭취 수준 및 낮은 식이섬유와 칼슘 섭취와 관련되어 있었다. 결론적으로 초등학교 4학년 아동에서 신체상은 성별과 비만도에 따른 차이가 있었으며 식습관 및 영양섭취와도 관련되어 있었다. 청소년기 이후의 바람직한 식생활과 비만의 예방 및 정신적, 육체적으로 건강한 삶을 위해서는 신체상이 형성되는 아동기에 자신의 신체에 대한 만족도를 높이고 신체상을 정확하게 인지하려는 시도가 이루어져야 할 것이다.

This study explores the comparison of body image, body satisfaction, and clothing behaviors between Korean and British young women. Body image was measured by two methods: visual and verbal. For the data analysis, the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) Version 16.0 for Windows was used to provide descriptive statistics, an independent sample t-test, and paired sample t- tests were applied in this study. Our results show that Korean and British female college students perceived ideal-body images that were smaller than their self defined body images. The ideal and self-images were significantly different in both groups. Both groups were dissatisfied with their own body size. The study was limited to a small sample size. Future studies using more participants from a more diverse age group and ethnic groups are recommended. The study will help marketers and retailers develop new products and new markets aimed at Korean and British women related to body image and body satisfaction.

Purpose: This study's objective was to investigate the effects of programs that improve adolescents' body image, using a systematic review and meta-analysis. Methods: A literature search was performed in eleven electronic databases, using preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analysis guidelines. Population characteristics, contents of the programs, and measured outcomes were systematically reviewed from 21 selected studies. To estimate the size of the effects, meta-analysis was conducted using Comprehensive Meta-Analysis software. Results: The contents of the programs that aimed to improve body image included physical, psychological, interpersonal, and sociocultural interventions. Sixteen studies were meta-analyzed to estimate the effect size of body-image improvement programs. Results showed that the program for body-image improvement had significant effects on body satisfaction (effect size [ES] = 0.56, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.23 to 0.89), and body dissatisfaction (ES = - 0.15, 95% CI = - 0.23 to - 0.08). Conclusion: The program for body image improvement in adolescents includes a combination of physical, psychological, interpersonal relationship, and socio-cultural dimensions. The program that seeks to improve body image appears to be effective at increasing body satisfaction, and at reducing body dissatisfaction in adolescents. Thus, it is necessary to develop and apply multidimensional programs for adolescents to have a positive body image.

In modern art, body appears as artistic performer, material or producer. and is expressed as' social environment body' which is changed in the relationship with its society and culture. The correlation between body and clothing image appears in 'body as expression object' which directly borrows human body or sets up a section of human body, 'body as medium' in which clothing substitutes body, and 'body as image' in which image of body reappears along with clothing. The results of analysis are as follows : First, 'image of expansion and exaggeration' to expand the influence of clothing thereby disclosing illusion of material civilization prevalent in our society, and make metaphor of dwarfish human's lurking fear by transforming and exaggerating human body. Second, 'image of restriction and suppression' to express the loss of humanity, power and restriction of modern society with fixing and cruelty of body image through clothing which disregard body function. Third, 'image of open and fluidity to criticize the extinction of values of human existence and standardized figure of our society by reducing three-dimensional clothing and body to untypical form or introducing the image of absent of human body to clothing. Fourth, 'image of reversion and paradox' to express practical clothing object with unwearable material, or cause confusion of sex and identity by expressing dual aspects of body at the same time. In this study, which is focused on correlation between body and clothing and the meaning of them, I realized that, even though artistic clothing expressed image of distortion and deformation of human existence as essential subject of body, they, in most contents, were used as medium of communication to rediscover human dignity and identity, and consisted of a series of metaphoric network of meanings satirizing aspects of our society.

This study was conducted to investigate the relationship among body image Perception, eating behavior and health status in young females. The survey was carried out by self-questionnaires for 293 female high school students(HS) and 164 female college students(CS) living in Daegu and suburbs of Daegu. For the perception of body image, 9-grade body figure drawings were used based on average Korean body size. EAT-26 and Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale were used to measure the tendency of eating disorder and self-esteem. It appeared that 40.5% of the subjects were off the normal range of body weight; especially 34.2% of the subject were underweight. The subjects' perception about current body image was within normal range. Almost of all the subjects believed that the ideal body image was thinner than their own current body image, and they wanted to be thinner than their current body image. The change of eating behaviors related to weight control of CS was significantly higher than that of HS students. EAT-26 score, self-esteem score, and subjective health status score were no difference between groups. The cut-off point of the eating disorder in this study was equal to or greater than 20 in EAT-26 score. The rates of the eating disorder were very high as 9.6% of HS and 8.5% of CS. Eating disorder was positively correlated with BMI, current body image, dissatisfaction of body image and the change score of eating behavior. But eating disorder was negatively correlated with health status. From the results of this study, we suggested that one of causes related to the eating disorder behaviors in adolescent females was resulted from misperception about ideal body image. There is a great need to provide nutrition educations concerning appropriate perception of body image and weight control among adolescent females.
