The main objective of this study is to propose numerical guideline for the improvement of educational environment about high school girls. In order to analyze feature of the somatotype of the high school girls, analysis of this study was performed about 25 body parts such as height(7 parts), width(4 parts), thickness(4 parts), circumference(5 parts), length(4 parts), and body weight. For the specific comparison on body dementions, Mollison's comparison graph were used.

This study was accomplished to investigate the prevalence of obesity and the factors related to obesity of high school girls in the large cities from May 20 to July 10 1990. In this study, three hundred eighty nine high school girls were chosen from high schools located in Seoul and Inchon. Anthropometry including weight, height, and skinfold thickness (triceps) were measured, and dietary intakes were calculated according to food composition tables. Means of the obesity index, food pattern, nutrients intakes were compared by Pearson's correlation coefficient. Nutrient intakes of the groups categorized by tricep skinfold thickness were compared by means of Duncan's multiple range test. Prevalence of obesity was 16.7%, 3.6%, and 20.8% by criteria of skinflod thickness, BMI, and Rohrer Index, respectively. Most of the subjects had three meals and took snacks two times per day 23.9% of the subjects were taking nutrient supplements of which vitamin supplement was the most popular. Food habit of subjects such as frequency of snack and bedtime meal were positively related to fatness. Nutrient intakes of the obese groups classified by tricep skinfold thickness, tended to consume more calories than another tricep category groups. Therefore, it could be concluded that prevalence of obesity in this subject was higher than the one for the past years, and it was more profound in girls who had a poor food habits and high calorie intakes. Thus, these results suggested that a good food habits and adequate nutrient intakes are essential to prevent the obesity of high school girls.

The purpose of this study was to examine the influences of 4-value orientations. the 5 money spending styles. and the background variables to the desired money management behavior of high school girls. The samples were selected from 498 high school girls. Cronbach'a and Multiple regression were used as statistical analysis. The results were summarized as follows : Resulting from multiple regression analysis, the desired money management behavior of high school girls had the positive linear relationships with the variables such as financial satisfaction. goal-oriented value. and 4 money spending styles - security. conspicuous. non-monetary. and unconcerned - in five money spending styles. The most influential variable was money spending styles.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the casual relationship of the background variables. 4-value orientations. 5 money spending styles and the money management behavior of high school girls. The subjects were 498 high school girls. We used Cronbach\` $\alpha$. Pearson correlation coefficients multiple regression and path analysis as statistical analysis. The results were summarized as follows Resulting from path analysis, the money spending styles were the most influential variable on money management behavior and value orientations were more influential variable on the money spending styles rather than the money management behavior. The money management behavior of high school girls had the directive linear relationships with the variables such as goal-oriented value and 4 money spending styles-security conspicuous. non-monetary and unconcerned.

As the latter part of the research on the high school girls\` body shapes, this study aimed to classify high school girls\` lateral body shapes and by combining the result with that of the authors\` precedent study on the classification of their frontal body shapes, to classify the whole body shapes into presentative clusters. Subjects consisted of 205 high school girls in Kwangju aged 16 through 18 years. 55 anthropometric and 29 photographic measurements were taken from each subject. For more effective data analysis, these measurements were tansformed into some calculated indexes. These indexes were reduced to 8 factors and these factors classified the lateral body shapes into 3 clusters. The compound types of the whole body shapes resulting from frontal and lateral body shape analysis resulted in 9 representative cody types.

This research was to assess the high school girls' need about the computer assisted instruction(CAI) in the Home Economics Curriculum. In One-way ANOVA, the high school girls' need about the CAI differs in the educational level of the father and the mother, the preference for the Home Economics, the involvement with the Home Economics and the preference for a teaching method of Home Economics. MCA was done to assess the independent explanatory power of predictory variables. The educational level of father and mother were included separately in different model. The MCA that the educational level of father was included in, The most influential variable was the preference for the Home Economics and the involvement with Home Economics was the second. The MCA that the educational level of mother was included in, The most influential variable was the preference for the Home Economics and the educational level of mother was the second.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the influence of early menarche on sexual experience among high school girls in South Korea. Methods: The study sample was comprised of 16,286 high school girls. Using statistics from the 11th (2015) Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-based Survey, hierarchical logistic regression analysis was conducted. Results: Among the girls, 5.8% reported early menarche. Early menarche was associated with sexual experience (Odds Ratio (OR), 5.27; 95% Confidence Interval (CI), 4.11-6.77). Controlled for sociodemographic, emotional and health behavior characteristics, early menarche was associated with sexual experience (OR, 3.98; 95% CI, 3.04-5.21). Conclusion: The results indicate that early menarche predicts an increase in sexual experience among female adolescents. Therefore, health education programs and health policy for interventions to improve sexual health are required for girls who are expected to experience early menarche.

This study was conducted to provide basic information on developing highschool-uniform pants with more suitable fit and to suggest a sizing system for highschool girls' uniform pants that adequately reflects their body figures. To understand the features of high school girls' lower body type, the body measurement values of 833 girls from 16~18 years of age based on Size Korea(2010) were analyzed statistically. For the classification of lower body type for high school girls, a factor analysis and cluster analysis were conducted. The collected data were processed with the programs SPSS 18.0 for windows. The results in this study are follows: The lower body types for high school girls were divided into 3 groups. Body Type A is average stature but the biggest circumference, Type B is the biggest stature and the medium body type, Type C is the smallest stature and skeleton structure. KS size intervals were used for frequency distribution of height and waist for the lower body. Sizing system of the uniform company and frequency distribution of sizes were compared. Using the two-way distribution of highschool girls' waist circumference and hip circumference, sizing system considering body type distribution and high frequency distribution section of sizes was suggested. This study established new sizing system depending on lower body fixed as 26 number of sizes. The most suitable standard is fixed as 12 number of sizes ; 64-88, 64-91, 67-88, 67-91, 67-94, 70-91, 70-94, 70-97, 73-94, 73-97, 76-97, 76-100. The coverage is also calculated. And the coverage of new standard was 63.5%. The continuous study on the uniform pants sizing system of the obesity types is required.
