Purpose: This study aimed to identify factors (biological, psychological, interpersonal, and contextual factors) associated with the weight bias internalization of the Korean girls in early adolescence. Methods: This study used a cross-sectional design. Data was collected from 233 girls aged 12~14 years with a self-reported questionnaire. With multiple regression analysis, the factors associated with the weight bias internalization of the girls in early adolescence were analyzed. Results: Of psychosocial factors, fear to fat (anti-fat attitude) (β=.43, p<.001) was associated with the weight bias internalization of the girls in early adolescence. In addition, attachment with teachers (β=-.11, p=.029) of an interpersonal factor and perceived socio-cultural pressure regarding weight control (β=.34, p<.001) of a contextual factor were associated with the weight bias internalization of the girls in early adolescence. Conclusion: For releasing the weight bias internalization of the girls in early adolescence, decreasing anti-fat attitude and socio-cultural pressure regarding weight control should be primarily required through social efforts including community and school based interventions.

Objective Primary dysmenorrhea occurs in more than 50% of women of reproductive age. This survey evaluated the effects of Menstrugole on the alleviation of primary dysmenorrhea. Methods This study was performed in western Iran between August 15 and December 15, 2017, in female students with primary dysmenorrhea. The students were randomly divided into 2 groups and received placebo or a Menstrugole capsule for 3 days in each of 2 menstrual cycles. The visual analog scale was used to assess pain severity. The ${\chi}^2$-test, one-way analysis of variance, and the paired t-test were used for statistical evaluation. Results We compared the severity of pain between the 2 groups. There was a significant change in the mean pain score during the first (P<0.001) and second months (P<0.001) after the use of Menstrugole, compared with that in the placebo group. Conclusion Menstrugole decreased pain severity in female students, and can be considered by health care providers for treatment of primary dysmenorrhea.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between stress and halitosis in a representative sample of Korean adolescents. Methods: This study was based on the 15th Korea Youth Risk Behavior Survey (2019). The final participation rate in the survey was 95.3%; 57,303 out of 60,100 (95.3%) adolescents aged 13-18 years were selected. Multiple logistic regression with complex samples was performed to identify the correlation between stress and halitosis. Stress level was classified as 'very much', 'a little', and 'not much' and halitosis was defined as the presence of an unpleasant odor in the oral cavity. Results: The prevalence of halitosis among students was 21.3%. As a result of multiple regression analysis, the 'a little' [odds ratio (OR); 1.39, 95% confidence interval (CI); 1.29-1.49] and 'very much' stress group (OR; 1.78, 95% CI; 1.66-1.90) exhibited significantly higher risk of halitosis than the 'not much' stress group. Conclusions: A significant correlation between stress and halitosis exists among Korean adolescents. Therefore, psychological factors such as stress should be considered in managing halitosis in adolescents.

목 적：실업계 ${\cdot}$ 인문계 여고생들의 자살태도, 자아상, 불안과 우울 정도를 평가를 해보고, 자살태도와 불안, 우울, 자아상 사이에서의 비교연구를 하였다. 방 법：정신사회적 환경에서 차이가 있을 것으로 추정되는 실업계 여고생 161명과, 인문계 여고생 165명(총 326명)이 본 연구에 참가하였다. 자살에 대한 태도를 평가하기 위해서 Suicide Opinion Questionnaire(SOQ)가 시행되어졌고, 불안, 우울과 자아상을 알아보기 위해서 Zung' Self-rating Anxiety Scale(ZAS), K-Beck Depression Inventory(KBDI), Offer's Self Image Questionnaire(OSIQ)가 각각 본 연구에서 실행되어졌다. 결 과：1) 표본에서 추출된 326명의 SOQ검사결과를 가지고 요인분석을 시행한 결과, 5개의 요인이 추출되었는데, 각 요인은 윤리, 종교, 정신장애, 허용도, 복수에 관한 요인들이었으며, 이중 복수에 관한 요인에서 양군간에 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었다. 2) SOQ에서는 복수요인에서 양군간에 유의한 차이가 있었고, 실업계 여학생에서 그 경향성이 더 높았으며, OSIQ에서는 가족관계 요인과 상위적응 요인에서 양군간에 유의한 차이가 있었는데, 인문계 여학생에서 상대적으로 그 경향성이 더 두드러지는 양상을 보여 주었다. ZAS와 KBDI의 경우에서는 양군간에 통계학적인 유의성을 찾을수가 없었다. 3) SOQ, OSIQ, ZAS, KBDI간의 상관분석에서 유의한 상관성을 보이는 요인은, SOQ의 윤리 요인과 OSIQ의 신체 및 자기상, 감정기조, 외계의 극복 요인이 역상관성을 보였고, SOQ의 정신장애 요인과 OSIQ의 신체 및 자기상, 내적 가치관이 역상관성을 보였고, 정신병리 요인과 비례적인 상관성을 보였다. SOQ의 정신장애 요인과 ZAS, KBDI가 역상관성을 보였고, 허용도 요인과 ZAS와 KBDI가 비례적인 상관성을 보였다. 결 론：본 연구에서 실업계 ${\cdot}$ 인문계 여학생들은 대체적으로 자살을 윤리적으로 죄악시하고 정신장애로 보는 경향이 있었고, 실업계 여학생들은 복수의 경향성이 상대적으로 두드러지는 양상을 보여주었다. 그러나, 신경정신과적 병력이 있거나 자살사고를 가지고 있는 경우에 있어서는 자살에 대해서 보다 더 수용적인 태도를 보여주었다. ZAS와 KBDI가 유의하게 높은 경우에 있어서도 자살에 대해서 보다 더 허용적인 태도를 보여 주었는데, 이는 상황대처 수단으로서 자살이 시도될수 있는 여지를 남겨둔다고 볼수 있겠다.

This study was designed to examine weight control, nutritional knowledge, dietary attitudes and eating behaviors of 370 high school girls and to investigate if there were differences in these variables by weight control status. The weight control attempters (65.1%) had significantly higher body weight and BMI (p<0.001). The difference between desired and current body weight was -9.1 kg in the attempters, showing a significantly higher difference than the counterparts (p<0.001). The attempters also showed more interest toward weight control (p<0.001), but were less satisfied with their body size (p<0.001). Most of subjects (88.1%), especially in the attempters (96.7%) responded that they would try to control their weights in the future. The regular exerciser was 22.9% in the attempters while the percentage of the counterparts was 11.9% (p<0.05). The use of internet or television watching was not significantly different by weight control status. Subjects scored 15.8 out of 20 on a nutritional knowledge scale, which showed a moderate level of knowledge. The nutritional knowledge score was 15.7 for the attempters and 15.8 for the counterparts. None of the nutritional knowledge items reached statistical significance, although the percentages of correct answers regarding weight control or balanced meals were slightly lower in the attempters. The attempters showed more favorable eating attitudes than the counterparts (p<0.001), especially in the attitudes of applying nutritional knowledge to daily life (p<0.01), attitudes for modifying diets (p<0.01) and importance of having adequate meals (p<0.01). The eating behavior was moderate, with mean scores of 31.1 (possible score: 15 - 45). Subjects showed problems in eating a variety of foods, eating meals regularly, eating slowly, eating breakfast and consumption of some food groups (e.g., dairy foods, fruits). The attempters consumed seaweeds more frequently than the counterparts (p<0.05). Although there were not many significant differences by weight control status, this study suggested that nutrition education for adolescent girls should be planned to provide nutrition information regarding desirable weight control as well as modifying diets and eating behaviors.
