This study examined the weight control and food habits in 160 obese children and 191 normal-weight children in 4th, 5th and 6th graders of some elementary schools in Gumi city. Regarding the subjects' self-recognition of their body shape, 27.8% of the normal weight group and 92.5% of the obese group acknowledged themselves to be obese. 58.9% of the normal weight group and 61.0% of the obese group were not satisfied with their own body shape and the difference between two groups was very small, 23.6% of the normal weight group and 87.5% of the obese group have tried to reduce weight. The main causative factor of weight gain that children themselves recognized was a sedentary life style. All the students showed a high rate of irregular and unbalanced diet. The obese children showed a significantly higher rate of skipping meals and eating meals faster than the normal weight children. More obese children disliked exercise, and did less excercise than the normal weight children. There was a negative correlation between the obesity index and the food habit score. In other words, they frequently skip a meals, eat in a hurry and dislike vegetables and dairy products. In addition, there was a positive correlation between the student's BMI and the parents' BMI. Overall, many normal weight children showed a high level of self-consciousness of being obese or underweight. Both groups showed a low degree of satisfaction with their own body shape. Therefore education for the distorted perception of body shape is needed because, even normal weight children have tried to reduce their weight. Obese children should be encouraged to exercise, not skip a meals and eat slowly. They also need a systematic education program on weight reduction and weight maintenance. Moreover, education on a healthy diet, healthy food habits, and healthy body shape are necessary for elementary school children.

This study was conducted to develop a comprehensive program for improving obese children's living habits such as wearing clothing and eating, and their self-esteem. Thirteen obese elementary school children, six boys and seven girls in the 4th to 6th grade, voluntarily participated in a ten-week intervention program. During the program, the obese children filled out a checklist consisted of daily ambient temperature inside the house, weight of clothing, meal diary, time taken for physical exercise, time taken for watching TV, etc. After carrying out the program, its effect was testified and evaluated. Percent body fat of the children measured using a body composition analyzer was reduced by $1.9\%$ after the program (p<.01). Wearing behavior of clothing was positively changed in view of the high correlation between ambient temperature and clothing weight (r=-.917, p<.01). Ability of dietary self control was improved and eating time was lengthened. Self-esteem was improved in global self-worth, athletic competence, and behavior/conduct. It was suggested that active interest of the family would be helpful and that an intervention program over longer than ten week would be necessary to improve childhood obesity.

This study was done to describe health promoting lifestyle and determine affecting factors in elderly based on the Heath Promotion Model by Pender. Cognitive-perceptual factors that were included in this study were self-efficacy and hardiness. Modifying factors were demographic characteristics (sex, age, partner, previous illness, education level. income and religion). The specific purpose of this study was to examine the relationships of self-efficacy, hardiness and the demographic chasteristics to health promoting lifestyle and to determine causal factors affecting the elderly. The subjects were a volunteer sample of 98 elderly in one city in? The instruments for this study were Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile(47items, 4scale), Health Related Hardiness Scale(22i1ems, 6scale), general Self-Efficacy Scale(13i1ems, 5scale). Frequency, percentage, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient and Stepwise Multiple regression technique with SAS program were used to analyse the data. The Results of the study are as follows : 1) The average item score for the health promoting lifestyle was 2.63, the highest score on the subscales was interpersonal support (M=3.3), followed by self-actulization(M=2.9), nutrition(M=2.8), stress management(M=2.7), health responsibility(M=2.1) with the lowest bring exercise(M=2.0) 2) A significant difference between education level, income, religion and health promoting lifestyle were found. 3) All of the subscales on health promoting lifestyle were positively related to total hardiness (r=0.330, p<0.001). The hardiness subscale of control was positively related to self-actulization(r=0.276, p<0.01), and commitment was positively related to self-actualization(r=0.315, p<0.001), exercise /nutrition(r=0.245, p<0.01), interpersonal support(r=0.278, p<0.01), stress management(r=0.250, p<0.01). Challenge was positively related to self-actualization(r=0.315, p<0.001), exercise /nutrition(r=0.245, p<0.01). There was no significant correlation between self-efficacy and all of the subscales of health promoting lifestyle. Self-efficacy showed a significant correlation only with control(r=0.469, p<0.001), comittment(r=0.507, p<0.001), challenge (r=0.489, p< 0.001). 4) Comittment, self-efficacy and income explained 25.01% of the variance for the total health promoting lifestyle. The results of this study show that commitment, self efficacy and income predicted the health promoting lifestyle of the elderly. So health promoting programs that increase commitement and self-efficacy should be developed to promote a healthy lifestyle of the elderly, especially those who have low income.

본 연구는 비만아동을 위한 효과적인 운동 및 식이 요법에 관한 자료를 얻기 위하여 실시하였다. 대상자는 8~12세의 비만아동(체지방 $36.1\pm1.3%)과$ $정상아동(18.9\pm1.3%)$ 각각 5명이었으며 3일간 실험환경에 적응하기 위한 대조기간(Control : C)을 거친후 1주간은 운동은 부하하되 에너지는 제한하지 않는 운동기간(Exercise without energy deficit : EEN)와 다음 1주간은 비만아동만을 대상으로 운동부하와 동시에 에너지를 제한하는 에너지 제한 운동기간(Exercise with energy deficit : EED)으로 나누어 실시하였다. 운동강도는 60~75%HRmax이었으며 에너지 제한량은 493kcal/day이었다. 각 실험 조건별 대사에너지 섭취량, 체중, 체성분, 체내 보유 에너지, 에너지 소비량의 변화를 측정하였다. 체지방량은 생체 전기저항 지방측정기를 이용하여 측정하였다. 대변 및 소변으로의 에너지 손실량으로부터 측정한 1일 평균 대사 에너지량(ME)은 정상아동이 대조기간(C) 및 운동기간(EEN)별로 각각 $1802\pm50kcal$ 및 $1771\pm72kcal이었고$ 비만아동이 대조기간(C) 및 운동기간(EEN) 및 에너지 제한 운동기간(EED)별로 각각 $2152\pm138kcal,$ $1861\pm138kcal$ 및 $1368\pm87kcal이었다.$ 대조기간(C)에 비만 아동은 정상아동에 비해 대사에너지량(ME)이 높았으나 무지방조직(LBM) kg당 섭취량은 정상아동이 79kcal이며 비만아동이 70kcal로 오히려 비만아동의 경우가 낮았다. 대체로 운동에 의해 에너지 섭취량은 감소되었다. 동일한 운동 부하로 정상아동 및 비만아동의 체중은 각각 $1.00\pm0.20kg$ 및 $1.24\pm0.22kg씩$ 감소되어 정상아동에 비하여 비만아동의 체중감소가 더 많았다. 비만아동에서 에너지 제한(493kcal)으로 인한 체중감소량은 0.52kg이었고 체지방조직량(FM)은 0.46kg이었다. 운동기간(EEN)중 체성분 변동량으로부터 산출한 1일 1인당 체내 에너지 변동량은 정상아동이 1092kcal, 비만아동이 1270kcal 감소디어 비만아동의 에너지 소모량이 더 많았다. 비만아동에 있어 에너지제한 운동기간(EEN)에 정상아동이 $2863\pm58kcal,$ 비만아동이 $3131\pm158kcal이었으며,$ 에너지 제한 운동기간(EED)에 비만아동은 $3153\pm151kcal이었다.$ 이상의 성적으로 보아 본 실험에 적용한 운동 프로그램은 체중 감소에 효과적으로 작용하나 일부 부지방조직(LBM)의 감소를 동반하는 것으로 보아 다소 운동 부하량이 과도한 것으로 생각된다. 그러나 에너지 제한량(500kcal)은 체중감소에 매우 효율적인 것으로 평가되어 이후 비만아동의 체중조절에 본 실험의 에너지제한 운동 프로그램중 운동 부하량만을 다소 줄여 적용하면 매우 효과적일 것이라 생각된다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of eating habits and control of overeating of obese children on the body weight control program. The program included nutritional education, psychotherapy and physical exercise on weekly session for 9 months. The results of this study were as follows. Participants of the study involved 30 obese children attending elementary school. The average age of the children was 11.78 years, mean height and weight were 146.22cm and 50.61kg. The average BMI and body fat contents were 24.06 and 30.49% respectively and WHR of the children was 0.87. There was a significant difference between boys and girls' BMI(25.18, 23.31, p<0.01). As a result of the eating habits test, 50% of the subjects showed low level of regularity of diet, and 76.7% of the subjects showed high level of balanced diet score. Large portion(83.3%) of the subjects had high level of healthy behavior score. WHR of girls significantly decreased from 0.86 to 0.82(p<0.01) after the body weight control program. There were no significant differences in serum components of the obese children after the program. When regarding the score of eating habits in relation to obesity indices, the WHR significantly decreased(p<0.05) in a group of children with high eating habits score. Also in the group of overeating controls, significantly decreased WHR(p<0.05). In the results of correlation analysis, body weight was positively correlated with BMI(r=0.624), the level of total cholesterol(r=0.5109) and HDL cholesterol(r=0.5088). The score of healthy behavior was positively correlated with height(r=0.5286) and negatively correlated with the level of LDL cholesterol(r=0.3555) and WHR(r=0.4028) These results suggest that the body weight control program must be considerate of the different groups of children with different scores in the eating habits and overeating controls test.

Purpose: This study examined the effect of an integrated kinetic program on the body composition of middle-aged and their associated blood lipid components. Methods: The subjects included 50 middle-aged women who resided at J city. Upon their agreements, the subjects were divided into either an experimental group or the control group. There were 25 subjects in each. The integrated kinetic program was conducted during the 6 weeks, and the experimental group was underwent its associated program 5 times a week. There were 3 subjects from each group that were excluded. The extensions were measured with the extensometer, the weights were taken with the body ingredient analysis instrument, and the blood lipid consistency with the blood autoanalyzer. Results: Pre- and Post- the integrated kinetic program, there were statistically significant differences between the body fat mass and the BMI in the experimental group. However, this difference was not significantly different in the control group. Further, there were no statistically significant differences between the two groups of all items in blood lipid components. But the experimental group showed the decrement from TC and TG items after accomplishing the program. Conclusion: The results of this study showed that this kinetic program helps the prevention and functional control of bodily functional decrement to middle-aged women. It is considered that follow-up studies on practically integrated kinetic programs are needed so that they include exercise accomplishments of proper period and good quality nutrition intake. This is in order to maintain muscular quantity and prevent muscle function decrement for the healthy middle-aged women, preparing in aging and menopause.
