  • Purpose: Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have been implicated in atherosclerosis, and therefore, are considered risk factors for metabolic dysfunction in adults. However, there is little data on circulating levels of MMPs and tissue inhibitors of MMPs (TIMPs) with regard to obesity-related biomarkers in the general adolescent population. In the present study, we determined the associations of MMP-8, MMP-9, and TIMP-1 levels and MMP-8/TIMP-1 and MMP-9/TIMP-1 ratios with obesity-related biomarkers in apparently healthy adolescent boys. Methods: We measured MMP and TIMP concentrations in plasma samples using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and analyzed their associations with obesity-related biomarkers, such as liver enzymes and lipid profiles, in a sample of 91 Korean boys aged 13-14 years who participated in a general health check-up. Results: The mean age of the boys was $13.8{\pm}0.3years$; 72 boys were normal weight and 19 were overweight/obese. The Pearson correlation coefficients revealed a significant correlation between MMP-8 and aspartate aminotransferase (r=0.217, P=0.039) and alanine aminotransferase (r=0.250, P=0.017) and between TIMP-1 and aspartate aminotransferase (r=0.267, P=0.011). In a multivariate linear regression analysis, serum alanine aminotransferase was positively associated with the MMP-8 level. There were no significant differences in the MMP-8, MMP-9, and TIMP-1 levels or MMP-8/TIMP-1 and MMP-9/TIMP-1 ratios between control and overweight/obese subjects. Conclusion: We found a significant association between the MMP-8 level and alanine aminotransferase in the apparently healthy adolescent boys. These findings indicate that there may be a pathophysiological mechanism underlying the relationship between MMP-8 and liver enzymes in young adolescents.

  • Pediatric obesity has become a serious public health issue. The prevalence of obesity in children and adolescents has increased worldwide and in Korea over several decades. Obese children are more likely to be obese adults with an increased cardiovascular risk. Therefore, maintaining a healthy weight and preventing obesity during childhood are of critical importance. Moreover, obese children and adolescents often have endocrine comorbidities such as prediabetes, type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia, metabolic syndrome, polycystic ovary syndrome, and central precocious puberty. Hence, the early implementation of obesity management using a multidisciplinary team approach and screening for these comorbidities in obese children and adolescents are required with the appropriate management of each comorbidity and/or specialist referral.

  • Objectives The relationships between adolescent depression and obesity, life style has been reported, but usually study results were not consistent with the study before. This study was designed to evaluate clear relationship between obesity and depressive trends, life styles in middle school students. Methods The study participants were the 1th, 2th grade students from one middle school in Kang dong Gu, Seoul(479 Students). The participants were measured their height and weight, and they were also surveyed by questionnaire. We diagnosed the students as depressives when they scored 10 points or above on Children's Depression Inventory(CDI) of Kovacs and Beck. Results The mean depression score in the obese group was significantly higher than that of the normal body weight group, and the more severely obese the group was, the higher the depression scores for this group were. The depression score of the boys obese group was higher than the girls obese group. The depression score was significantly higher in the obese group of people who hate to do exercising, like computer games and like watching TV instead, than in the group of people who like to do exercising and don't play computer games. Conclusions This study showed that depressive mood during adolescent was related to obesity and obesity-related lifestyles.

  • The purpose of this study was to identify the adolescent girl's weight control practices, degree of obesity and body image. The data were collected from July 1st to 15th, 1996 using the questionnaire and the physical examination record. The subjects of this study were 295 junior high school girls. Darta were analyzed with percentages, means, t-test, ANOVA, Kruscal-Wallis one way ANOVA, Scheffe test and pearson correlation coefficients using the SPSS program. The results were as follows: 1. The mean for the degree of obesity in subjects was -1.26%. The 34.2% of the subjects were underweight, the 46.8% were normal, the 9.2% were overweight and the 9.8% were obese. The girls who perceived themselves obese were 39% and only the 47% of them were really over-weight and obese. 2. The mean score of body image was 139.30. It was 145.51 for underweight girls, 128.07 for normal weight girls and 125.17 for obese girls. The higher the degree of obesity was, the lower body image score was. The body image score of the girls who perceived themselves obese was significantly lower than that of the girls who perceived themselves normal or underweight. 3. The 65.1% of subjects experienced weight control practices. They reported that they had used the following weight control methods such as diet(42.2%), exercise(35.9%), diet and exercise(15.1%) and others including drug(6.8%). The degree of obesity was significantly higher and the body image score was significantly lower in the case of the girls who had weight control experiences than in the case of those who had no weight control experiences. 4. The 60% Of the subjects often had 2 meals per day. The 48.8% of the subjects tended to skip breakfast, the 7.8% would skip lunch and the 20% did not have dinner. The higher the degree of obesity was and the lower body image score was, the more the girls would skip their meals. In conclusion, many adolescent girls tended to believe their body weight heavier than their real body weight. Many girls who were not overweight and obese tried to lose weight. In the case of the girls whose degree of obesity was high or who perceived themselves obese, the body image score tended to get lower and the weight control practices tended to be increased.

  • 목 적 : 우리나라의 청소년들은 식생활의 변화와 과다한 학습활동, 운동 부족으로 인해 비만에 대한 위험이 높아짐에 따라 청소년기 운동의 중요성이 대두되고 있다. 저자들은 청소년기의 운동이 비만과 혈청 지질 및 초경 연령에 미치는 영향에 관하여 알아보았다. 방 법 : 12세에서 18세까지 연령의 여자운동선수 107명을 대상으로 하였고, 대조군은 규칙적인 운동을 하지 않는 동일 연령대의 여학생 650명을 대상으로 하였다. 각각 신체 계측과 체지방률을 측정하였고, 설문지를 통해 초경의 유무와 시작 연령을 조사하였으며, 혈청 지질을 알아보기 위한 혈액검사를 함께 시행하였다. 비만은 비만도 20% 이상, 체지방률 30% 이상, BMI가 85 백분위수 이상으로 정의하였다. 고지혈증은 총 콜레스테롤은 200 mg/dL 이상, 중성지방은 150 mg/dL 이상, LDL은 130 mg/dL 이상, HDL은 40 mg/dL 이하의 기준을 사용하였다. 결 과 : 1) 운동선수군과 대조군의 평균 연령은 $14.9{\pm}1.7$세, $14.7{\pm}1.5$세로 비슷하였다. 2) 체중은 운동선수군 $53.3{\pm}7.3kg$ 대조군 $54.3{\pm}8.0kg$으로 비슷하였으나, 신장은 운동선수군 $161.4{\pm}5.4cm$, 대조군 $158.9{\pm}5.3cm$로 운동선수군에서 더 컸다. 3) 체지방, 비만도, 및 BMI 모두에서 운동선수군이 대조군보다 유의하게 낮았다. 4) 비만의 빈도는 체지방, 비만도, 그리고 BMI를 기준으로 하였을 경우 모두 대조군에서 더 많았으며, 각 군 간에 유의한 차이를 보였다. 5) 초경을 시작한 평균연령은 운동선수군에서 $12.6{\pm}1.3$세, 대조군에서 $12.9{\pm}1.2$세로 통계적 차이는 없었다. 6) 총 콜레스테롤, HDL 콜레스테롤, LDL 콜레스테롤은 운동선수군에서 더 높았으며 중성지방은 대조군에서 더 높은 평균치를 보였다. 모든 혈청지질의 평균은 각 군 간에 유의한 차이를 보였다. 7) 고 콜레스테롤혈증과 고 LDL 콜레스테롤혈증 수치의 빈도는 운동선수군에서 더 높았고, 저 HDL 콜레스테롤혈증과 고중성지방혈증을 보이는 빈도는 대조군에서 더 높았으며, 각각은 모두 통계적으로 유의하였다. 결 론 : 청소년 여자운동선수군은 대조군과 비교하여 체중은 차이가 없었으나, 신장이 더 컸고, 체지방률, 비만도, BMI 및 비만의 빈도가 유의하게 낮았다. 이는 운동의 영향 때문이라고 생각된다. 초경 연령은 운동선수군과 대조군에서 통계적인 차이는 없어서, 본 연구에서는 운동이 초경 연령에 주는 영향은 없었다. 혈청 지질의 분석에서 운동선수군이 낮은 중성지방과 높은 HDL 콜레스테롤 수치를 보였으나, 총콜레스테롤과 LDL 콜레스테롤이 높아져 있어서, 청소년기의 혈청 지질이 성인에서와는 다른, 여러 가지 요인에 의해서 영향을 받을 것으로 생각되고, 운동선수군에서 혈청 지질과 지방질 섭취 등의 식이 습관, 성 호르몬, 성장 호르몬 등과의 연관성, 신장과의 상관관계 등을 포함한 광범위한 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

  • This study was undertaken to assess eating habits and food consumption pattern of 365 adolescent girls in Kwangju area. Subjects were divided into 3 groups based on relative body weight as obesity index. Anthropometric data showed that mean height and weight were $161.9{\pm}19.0cm$ and $53.3{\pm}7.2kg$ respectively which are similar to those in the Korean Standard Growth data. Mean BMI and relative body weight were 20.50 and 97.1%. Age of menarche in the subjects significantly influenced the obesity index. Food habit score in the underweight group was significantly lower than that in the normal group at ${\alpha}=0.2$ level by multiple range test. Obesity was significantly associated with more frequent and irregular eating. It seems that students in the obese group were concerned on their body weight and tended to consume much vegetable. Obese group consumed more fruits, less butter and fruit juice compared to other groups. It might be suggested that more effective nutrition program might be developed and implemented to ensure good food habit of adolescent girls including obese as well as underweight group.

  • The exact estimation of physical growth by Obesity level has important meaning to the health care and evaluation on adolescent girls. So this study tried to clear the relationship between weight and body fat by using data for the height, weight of 124 elementary school children and high school student in Seoul. Then this study tried to show the physical growth pattern and various characteristics by Obesity level by using longitudinal for the height, weight of 1113 high school students in Seoul, and it also tried to show what influencing factors on the physical growth of this aged population. The result could be summarized as follows. 1. The relationship between weight and body fat(%) has 0.81475(r) at age 9 and 0.69361(r) at age 18. Also the relationship between weight and lean body muscle(LBM %) has -0.81470(r) at age 9 and -0.64729(r) at age 18. 2. The weakness, normal and obesity groups were classified by Obesity level. In case of weakness group showed the very low Obesity level at age 8 to 11, in case of obesity group showed the high Obesity level at age 15 to 18. Also Rohrer index was decreasing tendency up to age 12 in weakness group and increasing tendency over age 14 in obesity group. 3. When the height and weight growth pattern was compared, height growth was superior to weight growth at age 9 to 14.5 in normal group. But weight growth was inferior to height growth at age 9 to 14.5 in normal group. In obesity group, weight growth was superior to height growth at age 7 to 18. On the other hand the height growth of weakness group was superior to the normal group and the obesity group except age 11 to 12. 4. On height velocity curve by PHV age obesity group showed the most growth amount per year(9.00Cm/yr), and the next is normal group(8.77Cm/yr), weakness group(8.70Cm/yr). Then the difference between PHV age and PWV age was within 1 year in these three groups. 5. In these three groups, height velocity curve by menarcheal age showed the PHV before 2~3 years of menarcheal age. And weight velocity curve by menarcheal age showed the remarkable PWV before 1 year of menarcheal age.

  • Prevalence of obesity in Korean children and adolescents has dramatically increased since the last 10-20 years. It is important to initiate prevention efforts early in childhood because prevalence of obesity in adolescence is the strongest predictor of its prevalence in adulthood. Intrauterine life, infancy, and preschool years may comprise the critical periods that are essential for the long-term regulation of energy balance therefore, obesity-prevention strategies should be initiated in utero and continued throughout childhood and adolescence. Families with high-risk children should be provided early education about maintaining normal weight. Encouraging physical activity and, especially, avoiding inactivity, are key challenges in the prevention of future obesity. Schools should be primarily involved in educating parents to discourage their children from excessively watching TV or playing computer games and eating unhealthy snacks and food. The involvement of medical practitioners is also important, especially, in the case of obese parents, obesity prevention strategies should be promoted from the first visit of pregnant women to the physicians. Health professionals can also be involved in obesity prevention because they are ideally equipped to identify young children at risk of obesity. Community and nation-wide efforts to increase awareness and promote environments that encourage physical activity and healthy nutrition are required.
