Purpose: This study was performed to identify the relationship between PMS and sex role. Method: Data were collected from 417 female college students in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do area during the period from the 6th of September to the 15th of October in 2004. Collected data were analyzed using SPSS WIN 11.0. Result: The results of this study were as follows: 1) Perceived subjective symptoms were clustered endogenous depressive feature ($2.76{\pm}.97$), anxiety ($2.76{\pm}1.09$), and impulsivity ($2.72{\pm}1.02$). 2) PMS was significantly different according to the general characteristics of menarche age (F=5.910, p=.003), pain (F=7.886. p=.000) and family history (F=5.366, p=.005), masculinity was significantly different according to menarche age (F=3.174, p=.043), and femininity was significantly different according to menarche age (F=3.742, p=.025) and pain (F=3.256. p=.040). 3) Femininity and PMS were in a positive correlation with each other (r=.623. p=.000). Conclusion: This results showed that there is a significant correlation between PMS and sex role. For future research, it is recommended to identify major factors affecting PMS and the relationships between them and various subjects.

The purpose of this study was to identify the physical characteristics of early adolescent girls by age. A total of 529 girls aged between 10 and 14 were measured and data were collected from 42 anthropometric and 41 photographic measurements per a person. SAS 8.1 was used in data analysis including means, standard deviations, t-test, Duncan test and frequency analysis. The results of this study are as follows. Most items related to height and length increased significantly at the age of $10\sim11$ and the growth slowed down at the age of $13\sim14$. As for items related to circumference, the growth rate was high at the age of $11\sim12$, and gradually slowed down afterward. Out of circumference items, hip circumference showed the highest growth rate. As for items related to thickness and width, thickness-related items grew quickly at the age of $10\sim12$, and among which bust thickness showed the highest growth rate. As for drop, the difference between hip circumference and waist circumference was most remarkable, but the difference between hip circumference and bust circumference was not large. The largest number of subjects had their menarche during the age of $11\sim12$ and, after menarche, their horizontal growth became active.

본 연구는 성장기의 여아에서 초경 전후 경추골의 발육 특징을 파악하고 이를 통해 초경과 경추골 발육과의 관계에 대해 규명하고자 시행하였다. 초경 전후 1년 이내에 내원한 여아 67명을 대상으로 하였고 총 77매의 측모 두부규격 방사선사진을 이용하였다. 제3, 4경추의 외형을 트레이싱하고 경추 하연의 만곡도와 경추의 하연의 길이에 대한 전연의 길이의 비를 구하였다. 초경 전후의 시간적 관계에 따라 이 측정치들의 변화를 분석하였다. 초경 시 제3경추 하연의 만곡도는 1.27(${\pm}0.18$) mm, 제4경추 하연의 만곡도는 1.06(${\pm}0.15$) mm, 제3경추의 하연의 길이에 대한 전연의 길이의 비는 0.73(${\pm}0.06$), 제4경추의 하연의 길이에 대한 전연의 길이의 비는 0.70(${\pm}0.05$)였다. 초경 전후 2년의 기간동안 경추골의 발육에 따라 외형의 변화가 관찰되었다. 제3경추의 하연의 만곡도와 하인의 길이에 대한 전연의 길이의 비, 제4경추 하연의 만곡도는 초경 전후 2년 간에 걸쳐 통계적으로 유의성 있는 증가를 보였다. 제4경추 하연의 길이에 대한 전연의 길이의 비는 초경 이후 유의성 있는 증가를 보였다. 초경 전후 2년간 제3, 4경추의 하연의 만곡도는 이미 나타난 후 점차 뚜렷해졌다. 경추골의 형태는 세로의 길이가 증가하였으나 세로보다는 가로의 길이가 긴 사각형이었다. 측모 두부규격 방사선사진상의 제3경추와 제4경추의 발육 특징은 초경 전후의 여아에서 유의성 있는 변화를 보였으며 이는 성장 평가를 위한 하나의 유용성이 있는 지표가 될 수 있을 것으로 생각한다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study were to compare general characteristic of high school girls according to menarcheal age and to investigate the factors associated with the menarcheal age of high school girls. Methods: This study utilized the data of the 2013 Korean Youth Risk Behavior Web-based Survey (KYRBWS). The sample included 18,077 high school girls who experienced menarche. The questionnaires used for this study assessed menacheal age, grade, place of residence, family affluence, height, weight, diet pattern, physical activity, sleep duration, and stress level. Data was analyzed using the complex sample analysis (${\chi}^2$-test, ANOVA and multiple regression analysis). Results: Higher BMI, frequent vegetable consumption, short sleep duration, and higher stress level were associated with an earlier menarcheal age among high school girls. Conclusion: The findings of this study indicate intervention strategies to control the timing of menarche.

Aim: Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers of women in India with high fatality rate. Over a 1 year study period 105 consecutive biopsy or fine needle aspiration cytology confirmed breast cancer patients were interviewed by direct questionnaire method regarding risk factors attending Surgery and Radiotherapy OPD of Medical College Kolkata, West Bengal while taking other 105 patients attending Surgery Department for some other disease as controls. The data were compiled in MS Excel 2007 and analyzed by Epi info 3.5.1 software. Among the cases, rural residence, illiteracy and low socio-economic status was significantly higher than controls. Late onset of menarche, late onset of menopause, ever OCP usage, breast feeding for 1-2 years and age of 1st childbirth between 20-30 years were found to be significant protective factors. People should be made aware regarding the modifiable risk factors to prevent breast cancer.

Cervical cancer is a serious public health problem in Thailand. We investigated possible risk factors for cervical cancer including HPV infection, p53 polymorphism, smoking and reproductive history among women in Northeast Thailand using a case control study with 177 cases and age-matched controls. Among the HPV carriers, a significantly increased risk for cervical cancer with an OR of 36.97(p<0.001) and an adjusted OR of 38.07(p<0.001) were observed. Early age at first sexual exposure, and multiple sexual partners increased the risk of cervical cancer with ORs ranging between 1.73-2.78(p<0.05). The interval between menarche and first sexual intercourse <6 years resulted in a significant increase in the risk for cervical cancer with ORs ranging between 3.32-4.09 and the respective adjusted OR range for the 4-5 and 2-3 year-old groups were 4.09 and 2.92. A higher risk was observed among subjects whose partner had smoking habits, whether currently or formerly; with respective ORs of 3.36(P<0.001) and 2.17(p<0.05); and respective adjusted ORs of 2.90(p<0.05) and 3.55(p<0.05). Other smoking characteristics of the partners including smoking duration ${\geq}20$ years, number of cigarettes smokes ${\geq}20$ pack-years and exposure time of the subject to passive smoking ${\geq}5$ hrs per day were found to be statistically significant risks for cervical cancer with adjusted ORs of 3.75, 4.04 and 11.8, respectively. Our data suggest that the risk of cervical cancer in Thai women is substantially associated with smoking characteristics of the partner(s), the interval between menarche and first sexual intercourse as well as some other aspects of sexual behavior.

본 연구는 초등학생의 긍정적인 월경태도 형성을 위한 프로그램 개발의 기초연구로서, 초등학생의 월경에 대한 태도, 증상 및 대처방법을 파악하기 위해 시도된 서술적 조사연구이다. 초경의 평균연령은 12.3세였고, 월경에 대한 태도는 전체적으로 부정적인 태도를 보였으며 초경 경험군 2.93점으로, 비경험군 2.86점에 비해 상대적으로 긍정적인 태도를 보였으나 유의미한 차이는 없었다. 초경 경험군에서의 월경증상은 2.12점으로 중간점수인 3점보다 낮은 점수를 보여 월경 증상이 거의 없거나 보통으로 느끼고 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 월경증상의 하부요인 중 '통증'을 가장 많이 호소하였다. 또한 월경 시 대처방법으로 '따뜻한 물로 샤워한다', '휴식을 취하거나 잠을 잔다'를 가장 많이 선택하였으며, '비타민 B를 섭취한다', '진통제를 복용한다' 등의 약물복용 항목은 거의 선택하지 않았다. 본 연구의 결과를 토대로 하여 초등학생의 월경태도에 영향을 미치는 요인에 대한 깊이 있는 체계적인 후속연구와 월경에 대한 긍정적인 태도를 갖게 하기 위한 효과적인 월경에 대한 보건교육과 월경에 대한 증상과 대처방법을 선택하기 위한 교육 및 상담 등을 제언하고자 한다.

Objective : In order to educate juveniles with proper sex education and to present advisable sexual culture among them, we researched the revelation age and duration period of secondary sex characteristics of 5th and 6th elementary student in Cheon-an, and compared them with their mother's case. Method : We did a survey among 5th and 6th grade elementary student in Cheon-an, which includes pictures presenting, different stages of breasts and pubic hair development. Results : Results show that in girls, average menarche age was 11.47 while the average of their mother's was 14.25. 3 years of decline was observed. On boys, average pubic hair development age was 11.42, similar to the average age of voice change, 11.43. Girls showed relatively earlier distribution of pubic hair manifestation age of 11.39, than in boys, which was 11.42. Concerning the sexual maturity, 99% of girls were over B2, while 43% of boys were over PH2. Almost all of the female participants manifested secondary sex characteristics, and half of them were in the stage of pubic hair development. Conclusion : We observed that the average age of manifesting secondary sex characteristic among elementary students is getting younger and especially, menarche age of young girls is significantly showing downward tendency compared to their mothers'. Sex education in elementary schools should be carried out considering the development stage of secondary sex characteristics among students.
