This study aimed to find the differences in weight control status and eating behavior of satisfied and dissatisfied female high school students regarding their own body shape. The participants consisted of 238 students at two female high schools in Nonsan-si, Chungnam-do in May of 2008. Self-assessment evaluated present body shape and ideal body shape they would like to have by providing silhouette drawings. The subjects were divided into two groups, 'satisfied' and 'dissatisfied', according to the differences between present body shape and ideal body shape. In the distribution of subjects according to body mass index, 100% of overweight, 97.0% of normal weight and 48.7% of underweight belonged to the dissatisfied group. There were significant differences in weight control and eating behavior between dissatisfied and satisfied groups in terms of frequency and reasons of conducting weight control behavior, body weight return after weight reduction, skipping breakfast and consuming fast food. The satisfied group was two times more likely to not conduct weight control behaviors compared to the dissatisfied group. The main reason for trying to control weight differed according to the group; the reason was feeling fat in the dissatisfied group and desiring to be healthy in the satisfied group. The percentage of subjects that returned to their original weights after weight reduction was 5 times higher in the dissatisfied group. The percentages of subjects that regularly skip breakfast and consume fast food were both higher in the dissatisfied group than in the satisfied group. The dissatisfied group responded 'eating alone' more frequently among nine binge eating behaviors compared to the satisfied group. Both groups, however, did not show any difference in overeating of meals, eating speed, intake frequency of regular meals, food preference, preferred cooking method, carbonated beverage intake and snack eating behavior. In summary, the dissatisfied group tried more unnecessary body weight reduction and had poor eating behavior. Accordingly, to correct the biased perception of body shape by the majority of female high school students, the values of our society should change toward the pursuit of beauty of health.

This study was performed to investigate the dietary habits, body satisfaction and nutritional knowledge according to body image of middle school girl students (n = 284). The subjects were classified as lean, normal and fat groups according to body image. The weight, body mass index (BMI) and the score of body image were significantly higher in the students who recognized their body image as 'fat'. The satisfaction of present body image was significantly lower in students who recognized their body image as 'lean'. The interest in weight control and experience of weight control were significantly higher in students who recognized their body image as 'fat'. The necessity of nutrition education was higher in all groups (lean 67.2%, normal 59.0% and fat 52.8%). The products used to feel sweetened were sweetened ice (68.7%), processed milk (68.3%), confectionery (62.3%), carbonated beverage (55.3%), fermented milk (38.0%) and none (6.0%). The frequency of consumption of fruit juices and fried food was significantly higher in 'normal' compared to 'fat'. There was no significant difference in the frequency of consumption of snack and nutritional knowledge among the three groups. In the multiple regression analysis, the score of body image was negatively associated with the frequency of snack consumption in the 'lean'. The score of body image was positively associated with identification of nutrition labels and an interest in weight control but was negatively associated with satisfaction of present body image in the 'fat'. Based on these results, we conclude that, the middle school girl students need correct recognition of body image and continuous and practical nutrition education in order to maintain healthy dietary habits.

본 논문은 청주지역 대학생을 대상을 식생활지침의 실천여부와 당류 섭취 실태 및 당류 저감화 인식에 미치는 영향을 파악하여 당류 섭취 줄이기를 위한 기초자료로 활용하고자 실시하였다. 연구대상자는 건강한 대학생 343명을 대상으로 식생활지침 실천여부를 점수화한 후 중앙값을 기준으로 식생활지침 실천도가 높은군과 실천도가 낮은군으로 성별에 따라 구분하였다. 연령, 신장, 체중, 체질량지수는 식생활지침 실천여부에 따른 남학생과 여학생 모두 군간 차이가 없었고, 여학생의 실천도가 낮은 군에서 주당 간식 횟수, 흡연율, 객관적인 단맛 인지도 평가가 유의적으로 높았다. 남학생과 여학생 모두 실천도가 낮은군에서 탄산음료, 가공우유, 집 밖에서의 간식 섭취가 높은 식행동을 보였고, 당류 간식으로부터 당류 섭취량이 실천도가 높은군에 비해 높았다. 여학생의 실천도가 낮은군에서 당류 섭취 권고기준을 초과하는 비율이 36.59%로 실천도가 낮은군(13.64%)에 비해 높게 나타났다. 당류 섭취 저감화 필요성은 남학생과 여학생 모두 차이를 보이지 않았고, 간식 구입 시 영양표시를 확인한다는 응답율은 남학생과 여학생 모두 실천도가 낮은군에서 낮았다. 영양표시 교육의 필요성은 남학생과 여학생 모두 80%이상으로 높게 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 종합하여 볼 때, 식생활지침 실천을 장려하는 것은 대학생의 당류 섭취를 줄이는데 도움이 될 것으로 보여진다.
