본 논문은 피부미용을 공부하고 있는 평생교육원 및 문화센터의 여성 수강자를 대상으로 피부 미용과 건강 전반에 걸친 영향 정도를 교육시키고, 이들이 피부 미용 교육을 통해 그들의 건강 생활습관측면, 특히 생활습관, 운동, 영양을 중심으로 어떤 변화가 있는지 살펴 보고자 한다. 본 연구를 위해 2011년 현재 서울 및 경기도에 위치한 대학 및 문화센터에서 피부미용 관련 과목을 수강하는 여성들을 모집단으로 설정하였으며, 경기도 소재 A,D 대학, H 학원, 서울 소재 M 대학에서 피부 미용 과정 이수자 343명을 실제 분석에 이용하였다. 연구 결과 첫째, 피부미용 수강 전후와 건강생활습관 특성의 관계에서 부분적으로 차이를 보였는데, 피부 미용 수강을 한 후 수강자들은 수강하기 전에 비해 수면 습관 및 스트레스 관리가 잘 되고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 피부 미용 수강 기간과 건강생활 습관 특성과의 관계에서 긴 시간 동안 피부 미용 교육을 받은 군에서 수면 습관 및 스트레스 관리를 잘 하고 있는 것으로 나타났고, 운동에 있어서도 운동 여부, 강도 시간, 유산소 운동을 더욱 많이 하고 있으며, 영양 면에서도 식사 분배, 칼로리 섭취 제한, 식이 섬유 등을 더욱 많이 섭취하는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 피부미용 수강정도와 건강생활 습관 특성의 관계에서 부분적으로 차이를 보였는데, 생활 습관 관리 면, 운동면에서 유의한 차이를 보였다. 넷째, 피부미용 수강 빈도와 건강생활 습관 특성의 관계에서는 피부미용 수강을 보다 자주 수강하는 군에서 스트레스 관리를 더욱 잘 하고 있었고, 운동에서도 유의한 차이를 보였다. 이러한 결과를 통해 여성들의 피부미용 강좌는 수강자들에게 건강에 대한 관심을 높여 주었고, 전반적인 건강생활습관에 큰 영향을 주는 것으로 보여진다. 따라서 여성들이 평소 관심을 가지고 있는 피부미용과 건강을 접목한 프로그램 개발을 통해 여성들의 전반적인 건강 관리 습관을 개선시킬 수 있고, 이를 통해 한 가정의 건강관리 습관에 주도적인 역할을 하는 여성들의 올바른 건강 관리 행태 확립을 통해 국민 건강에 일조 할 수 있는 토대를 마련할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

The prevalence of obesity in children has steadily risen during recent years in developed countries. Child obesity has become a major concern to health providers since it has grown to epidemic proportions over the past few decades. This study was conducted to investigate the biochemical status, dietary habits and life styles according to the obesity degree among obese children residing in the Gyungbuk area. The subjects were 148 elementary school students (boy 103, girl 45) and classified as mildly obese (n = 56), moderately obese (n = 61) and severely obese (n = 31) by the obesity index. The average body weight and height increased significantly according to the obesity degree (p < 0.05, p < 0.001). Serum cholesterol concentration came under the normal level in all groups. Serum AST activity increased according to the obesity degree but it was not significant. Serum ALT activity increased according to the obesity degree (p < 0.05). Dietary habit score was lower significantly according to the obesity degree (p < 0.01). Life style of the subjects was significantly different for the level of 'healthy state (p < 0.05)', 'body perception (p < 0.01)', 'watching TV and video (p < 0.05)', 'normal sleeping hour (p < 0.05)' and 'degree of stress (p < 0.05)' according to the obesity degree. A positive relationship between obesity index and blood pressure, ALT has been shown in the subjects. Obesity index and dietary habit scores were negatively associated. Therefore, these results suggest that a practical nutrition-exercise education program for the prevention of child obesity should be provided to elementary school children.
