The purpose of this study was to test a reliability and validity of the Korean version of Eating Attitudes Test-26(KEAT-26). Using multi-stage sampling, we finally got 3,496 subjects(1422 males and 2074 females) who were available for analysis from target 4,400 Korean adults over 18 in the nationwide areas of9 kus, 10 middle or small cities, and 17 kuns. We tried to make T score norm of the KEAT-26 as a cutoff score and STEN score norm as a index of severity for disordered eating behaviors. For the male group, Cronhach's internal consistency was .83 and Spearman-Brown split half correlation coefficiency was .75. For the female group, each of them was .81 and .75, and .81, .75 for the grand total group respectively. Validity test was performed by construct validation analysis. By a iterated principal axis factoring, 4 factors were extracted. There were some differences in the factors of the KEAT-26 by sex. In the male group, factor I was 'self-control of eating and bulimic symptom', factor II was 'food preoccupation and dieting', factor III was 'preoccupation with being thinner', factor N was 'avoidance of sweet foods'. In contrast with the male group, factor I was 'self-control of eating and bulimic symptom', factor II was 'preoccupation with being thinner', factor III was 'food preoccupation' and factor N was 'dieting' in the female group. We used T score 65 as a cutoff score. T score 65 corresponded to raw score 19 in the male group, 22 in the female group and 21 in the grand total group. Severity of disordered eating behaviors was measured by a STEN score. In the male group, each of the score range of 0-10, 11-14, 15-18, 19-22 and over 23 represented the degree of none, subclinical, manifest, moderate and severe severity respectively. Each of the score range of 0-13, 14-17, 18-21, 22-26 and over 27 in the female group, and the score range of 0-12, 13-16, 17-20, 21-25 and over 26 in the grand total group also represented the same degree of severity as like in the male group. These results support that KEAT-26 is a reliable and valid scale for evaluating disordered eating behaviors and eating problems.

Purpose: The descriptive study was designed to examine the relationship of eating attitudes to the internalization of sociocultural attitudes, body shape satisfaction, anger and anger expression in college women. Method: 247 women were recruited from one college located in Seoul, Korea. The instruments used were the Internalization subscale of SATAQ-3R, BSQ for body shape satisfaction, Spielberger's state trait anger expression inventory-Korean version for anger and anger expression, and the Eating Attitude Test(EAT-26) for eating attitudes. Results: The score of EAT significantly correlated with internalization, state anger, body shape satisfaction, and anger expression except trait anger. The significant predictors of eating attitudes in college women were body shape satisfaction and anger expression, explaining 55% of the variance in eating attitudes. Conclusion: This study showed that body shape satisfaction is an important predictor for an eating disorder. Therefore, various programs for cognitive changes correcting the understanding about body and weight need to be developed in the future.

Rapid shift to western dietary patterns and social drive of thinness would lead to increase the likelihood of developing eating disorders. This study was performed to analyze the associated factors between dietary pattern and self visualization in terms of body shape, which may increase the risk of disturbed eating attitudes among high school students in Korea. A cross-sectional study was conducted from 2009 to 2010 for high school students including both male and female students, from 6 schools in Gyunggi Province, Korea. A total of 766 students self-reported a questionnaire, including weight control practice, perceptions of self body image and ideal body image, dietary habit, and EAT-26 (Eating Attitude Test-26). Logistic regression analysis was used to fine the factors potentially associated with disturbed eating attitudes. Statistical analysis was conducted using SAS program (version 9.1). Results showed that disturbed eating attitudes were found in 8.7% of male high school students, and in 20.8% of female high school students. Experience of body weight control was reported by 56.2% of male students and by 87.3% of female students. According to multiple logistic regression analysis, obesity was independently associated with high risk of disturbed eating attitudes in male students [Odds Ratios (OR) 2.96, 95% Confidence Interval (CI) 0.90-9.71]. Body image dissatisfaction (OR 2.77, 95%CI 1.37-5.62) and extended family type (OR 2.70, 95%CI 1.05-6.90) were independently associated with high risk of disturbed eating attitudes, especially in female students. In conclusion, proper efforts in education for obesity and developing self-esteem to reduce the risks of disturbed eating attitudes should be implemented in high school nutrition program.

연구목적 : 본 연구의 목적은 한국 일반인구에서 식사 장애에 대한 고위험 남성 군(high risk male group for the eating disorders)의 유병율을 알아보고 이들의 인구학적 특징, 식사 행동과 연관된 특정 및 일반 정신 병리에 있어 특징을 알아 보는데 있다. 대상 및 방법 : 한국 일반 인구를 대상으로 한국판 식사 태도 경사(the Korean version of Eating Attitude Test-26 : KEAT-26)상 절단점 이상의 고득점을 보인 남성 군 52명을 최종 대상으로 여성 고득점군 208명과 비교하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 결과 : 1) KEAT-26상 절단점 21 점 이상을 보였던 대상은 총 260/3062(8.5%)로 이중 남성이 52/260(20.0%), 여성이 208/260(80.0%) 이었으며(남성 대 여성의 비율 1 : 4) 전체 연구에 대한 비율은 남성이 52/3062(1.7%), 여성이 208/3062(6.8%) 이었다. 2) 인구학적 특정으로 평균 연령은 유의한 수준은 아니었으나 남성 군이 $29.13\pm7.87$세로 여성 군의 $27.00\pm6.81$세 보다 높은 경향을 보였다(p=0.0514). 평균 신체 질량 지수(Body Mass Index : BMI)는 남성 군이 $23.05\pm3.12$로 여성 군의 $20.40\pm2.31$보다 유의하게 높았고(p<0.01), 분포 또한 신체 질량 지수가 20이하인 경우도 남성 군은 7/52명 03.5%) 인데 반해 여성 군은103/208명(49.5%)으로 유의한 차이를 보였다(p<0.01). 신체 질병의 과거력은 두 군간에 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았으나 흡연율(p<0.01), 알코올 사용율(p<0.01) 및 한달 평균 알코올 사용량(p<0.01) 등은 모두 남성 군에서 여성 군보다 유의하게 높았다. 3) 사회 경제적인 특징 중 직업을 제외하고는 경제 상태, 교육 기간, 가족 수, 결혼 상태, 종교 및 대도시, 중간 크기의 도시, 소도시 및 시골지역 등으로 나누어 본 거주지역 등이 모두 두 군간에 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 4) 식사 특성으로 식습관 척도 점수는 남성 군이 $7.25\pm3.15$로 여성 군의 $8.88\pm3.91$보다 유의하게 낮았으며(p<0.01), KEAT-26상 총 접수는 남성 군이 $25.80\pm4.87$ 여성 군이 $26.39\pm5.78$로 두 군 사이에 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았으나, 이 검사의 하위 척도인 마름에 대한 욕망(desire for thinness) 척도에서는 여성 군이 남성 군보다 유의하게 높았고(p<0.01), 음식에 대한 집착 척도(food preoccupation) 남성 군에서 여성 군보다 유의하게 높은 결과를 보여(p<0.05) 두 군 모두 식사 태도 검사 상 높은 점수를 보이고 있어도 질적인 내용에는 성에 따라 차이가 있음을 보여 주었다. 이외에 체중에 대한 통제 소재는 두군 사이에 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았으나 음식 선호도에 있어 남성 군이 여성 군에 비해 야채 및 생선을 더 싫어하고 단음식을 더 좋아하는 특정을 보여 주었다(p<0.01). 5) Eysenck성격 척도 상 남성 군이 정신병적 경향성에서 여성 군보다 유의하게 높은 접수를 보였다(p<0.01). 이외에 다른 성격 차원 및 Beck우울 척도 및 건강 염려증 척도로 측정한 일반 정신 병리 상의 특정은 두 군간에 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 결론 : 상기 결과들은 우리 나라에서도 선진 외국과 비슷한 수준의 남성 식사 장애 환자들이 있을 가능성을 보여 주고 있다. 또한 상기 결과들은 식사 태도 검사 상 같은 고득점을 보여도 식사 관련 병리는 성에 따라 차이를 보일 수 있음을 보여 주고 있고, 남성 식사 장애 환자는 여성 식사 장애 환자보다 좀더 깊은 성격 병리를 가지고 있을 가능성을 보여 준다.
