Objectives : The aim of this study was to assess whether individuals who visit clinics to ask medical help for obesity treatment depict comparable levels of depression, body dissatisfaction, eating psychopathology and lower quality of life. Methods : This is a cross sectional study with 534 females who sought treatment for their obesity or overweight being recruited in seven clinical units in Seoul, Korea. The patients group was divided into two groups. The group 1 consisted of the patients with BMI >$25\;kg/m^2$. The women who showed BMI ${\leq}\;25\;kg/m^2$ among patients recruited for this study were classified as the group 2. The control group (group 3) was composed of 398 healthy females who have never tried to lose weight. Results : We found that group 1 had higher frequency of more than moderate level of depression than group 2 and group3 did. Both patients groups showed greater eating disordered attitudes and behaviors regardless of obese condition than the control group. Group1 showed relatively lower level of quality of life than group2 and group3 in terms of the quality of life related to physical well-being. In addition, the control group reported higher quality of life in psychological health than both patients groups did. Conclusions : In conclusion, it is necessary for clinicians to make a careful evaluation of depressive tendency and eating disorders when obese women seek for medical help. The combination of medical treatment and psychological approach for obese women would result in higher quality of life.

본 연구는 KEAT-26의 변별 타당도를 알아보고 이 척도의 진단적(분류적) 효율성을 알아보기 위해서 이루어졌다. 참여자는 여성 식사장애 환자 108명, 체형관리센터에서 체형관리프로그램에 참여하고 있는 여성 179명, 체대운동여학생 120명, 일반여자대학생 227명 그리고 일반여자 183명(총 817명)이었다. 변량분석과 ROC(Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve) 곡선 분석을 통해서 이 척도의 타당화를 시도하였다. 그 결과 KEAT-26 총점수가 집단간에 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였으며, 사후 검증에서 식사장애 환자집단이 다른 모든 집단보다 KEAT-26 점수가 유의하게 높았다. 그리고 각 집단에 따른 KEAT-26의 4 개 하위 요인점수의 차이 검증에서 모든 하위요인들에서 집단의 주 효과가 유의하였으나, 사후검증에서 요인 IV의 변별력이 떨어졌다. ROC 곡선 분석을 통하여 이 척도의 분류적인 효용성과 최대의 가질 때의 절단접수를 알아본 결과 식사장애 환자와 정상인 집단을 분류할 때 평균 약 80%이상의 효용성이 있으나 식사장애 고위험 집단을 변별할 때는 평균 약 69%의 효용성을 보였다. 특히, 최고의 효용성을 보일 때의 절단점수를 효면, 식사장애환자와 체형관리자를 분류할 때 절단점이 25점, 식사장애환자와 일반 여자를 분류할 때 분류점수는 19 점, 삭사장애환자 대 체대운동여학생의 분류 점수는 23점, 식사장애환자 대 일반여대생의 절단점은 21점이었다. 이민규 등(1998)이 제안한 T점수 65에 해당하는 KEAT-26의 총점 22점을 절단점수로 했을 때 이 척도의 민감도 54%, 특이도 84%, 효율성은 평균 80% 이었다. 본 연구 결과 KEAT-26온 한국 사람이 겪고 있는 식사문제에 관련된 연구에 필요한 신뢰롭고 타당한 도구임을 밝혀졌다. 또한 본 연구결과는 이 척도가 임상적인 이용 뿐 만 아니라 역학조사 동의 목적으로 식사문제가 있는 사람을 선별하는데도 유용한 도구임을 지지해 준다.

In the contemporary world, fashionable bodies are socially constructed in light of current idealized images. Media portrayal of such images can have negative health implications. This issue has long been problematic for women. Nowadays, men are subject to more scrutiny regarding their bodies, although male body image has been studied far less than female body image. In this position paper based on a review of the major studies that have been conducted on men and body image, we summarize the findings from these state-of-the-art studies that have been recently published in academic journals. Three themes related to male body image were extracted: socio-cultural ideals, masculinity, and minority men. This study adds to the literature I that it demonstrates that men experience and view their bodies differently from women, though some behaviors, such as disordered eating, are similar. Other behaviors, such as the drive for muscularity, are couched in the context of the social construction of gender and power. Most of the studies were done on white, heterosexual populations of young men, and nearly all used quantitative research methods. Little research has been conducted on ethnic and sexual minorities. We conclude with a discussion of what we need to know, and to that end, we suggest future avenues of research.

In this study, problems with table serving of Korean Jeollanamdo food were investigated, and methods for improvement were suggested. The manner of food serving and arrangement on tables, as well as the serving space in each case, were investigated in representative restaurants serving Jeollanamdo food. The results showed that most of the Jeollanamdo Korean food have a prototype of a flat serving sprea, wherein the main dish and side dishes are not clearly identified, the demarcation between shared space and personal space is insufficiently made for each serving on the table, and the table is full of side dishes, that are narrow, visually disordered and unhygienic, both in terms of the table setting and arrangement inside bowls. To provide sufficient eating space, elevate awareness of hygienic and clean serving, and identifying the main dish in the table setting, a serving method that is a compromise between the flat spread-out and time-series development was suggested, and an arrangement on the table was defined for the main dish and side dishes. The utilization of table space was also increased by reducing the number of dishes on the table at a given moment. In addition, the dish or bowl and arrangement inside the container were changed in order to distinguish the main dish and side dishes. It is suggested that some of tableware be linked with the special products of the locality so as to make a brand for them, and that a personal mat be used to arrange the tableware for each one, since there are many fermented food items (salted fish, kimchi, fermented paste and sauce, etc.) and boiled food items (stew, steamed dish, boiled dish in sauce, etc) that look dark and unfocused. In addition, it is suggested that the width and breadth of the dishes or bowls be set in an orderly manner. Considering the tables currently available at restaurants, personal space on a table and comfortable distance between eaters are suggested to be $400 mm{\times}250 mm$ and 300 mm, respectively.
