Background The length of the second digit (the index finger) relative to the length of the fourth digit (the ring finger) is sexually dimorphic as males have a lower second to fourth digit ratio (2D:4D). There is evidence that sex differences in 2D:4D arise from in utero concentrations of sex steroids, with a low 2D:4D (male typical ratio) being positively related to prenatal testosterone, while a high 2D:4D (female typical ratio) is positively associated with prenatal oestrogen Objective To investigate possible associations between 2D:4D ratio and sexually dimorphic body composition Methods 2D:4D ratio, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, waist-hip ratio (WHR), weight, and body fat percentage was measured from 46 men and 20 women Results Digit ratio was found to be significantly lower in men than in women. No significant correlation between 2D:4D ratio and body compositions was found for both men and women while digit ratio in obese men was significantly higher than normal weight men. Conclusion This finding dose not support the significant correlation between digit ratio and sexually dimorphic body composition. However digit ratio in obese men was significantly higher than normal weight men.

목 적: 비만에서 발생하는 비알코올성 지방간질환은 대부분 무증상이어서 혈청 검사에서 간효소치 상승이 있거나 간초음파검사에서 지방간이 발견되는 경우에 이 질환에 대한 의학적 관심이 증가한다. 본 연구에서는 비만아와 과체중아에서 간세포손상을 반영하는 ALT 상승과 신체 계측치 및 생화학적 검사치들과의 관련성을 알아보고자 하였다. 방 법: 2006년 1월부터 2008년 6월까지 충남대병원 소아청소년과에서 비만 또는 과체중으로 진단받은 142예를 대상으로 신체 계측, 생화학 검사를, 간초음파검사는 일부 환자에서 시행하였다. ALT치를 기준으로 정상 군(I군)과 상승 군(II군)으로 분류하여 신체 계측치, 생화학 검사치, 간초음파 소견을 비교하였다. 바이러스간염, 약물 유발 간염, 대사이상 간염, 내분비 장애, 유전 질환이 있는 경우는 연구 대상에서 제외하였다. 결 과: 단순 비만아에서 간전이효소치의 상승은 전체의 54.2%에서 있었으며, 남녀별로는 남아 63.0%, 여아 26.5%에서 있었다. I군과 II군의 나이는 각각 11.4${\pm}$3.3, 11.7${\pm}$3.2세로 차이가 없었다. 성별 분포는 I군은 남아 40예, 여아 25예로 총 65예, II군은 남아 68예, 여아 9예로 총 77예로 양군 모두 남아가 통계적으로 유의하게 많았으며(p=0.003, 0.001) 남녀 비는 I군 1.6:1, II군 7.6:1로 II군에서 남아의 발생빈도가 4.8배 더 높았다. 신체 계측치는 허리둘레/키 비, 엉덩이둘레/키 비가 II군에서 통계적으로 유의하게 높았으며(p=0.001, 0.046), 키, 체중, 체질량지수, 허리둘레, 엉덩이둘레, 허리둘레/엉덩이둘레 비, 비만 정도는 양 군 간에 유의한 차이가 없었다. 생화학 검사치와 인슐린 저항성에서는 AST, ${\gamma}$-GT, 총콜레스테롤 수치가 II군에서 통계적으로 유의하게 높았고, AST/ALT비는 I군 1.10${\pm}$0.41, II군 0.55${\pm}$0.17로 II군에서 유의하게 낮았다(p<0.001, <0.001, <0.001). 중성지방, 고밀도지질단백 콜레스테롤, 저밀도지질단백 콜레스테롤 수치, 공복 시 인슐린 농도, 혈당, 인슐린 저항성 지표는 두 군 간에 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없었다. 단변량 상관관계분석에서는 체질량지수, 엉덩이둘레/키 비, 허리둘레/키 비, ${\gamma}$-GT, 중성지방이 양의 상관관계를 보였다. 간초음파검사는 I군 11예, II군 32예에서 시행되었는데, 양 군 모두 경도의 지방간 소견이 가장 많았으며, 양 군 간에 지방간 빈도에는 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없었다. 결 론: 비만아에서 허리둘레/키 비, AST, AST/ALT비, ${\gamma}$-GT, 총 콜레스테롤 농도가 ALT치가 정상인 군 보다 상승된 군에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였으며, 허리둘레/키 비와 ${\gamma}$-GT가 ALT 상승과 통계적으로 유의한 양의 상관관계를 보여 쉽게 측정할 수 있는 신체 계측치인 허리둘레/키 비를 ALT치가 상승된 비만아의 관리에 참고 자료로 이용해 볼 수 있겠다. 그러나 이에 대해서는 향후 더 많은 연구가 필요하다.

The present study was aimed to examine various factors related to serum total cholesterol, triglyceride, atherogenic index, lipoperoxides and vitamin E in 174 middle-aged men residing in Taegu. Body mass index was positively correlated with serum triglyceride, and waist-hip circumference ratio was positively correlated with serum total cholesterol, triglyceride, atherogenic index and vitamin E concentration. Total cholesterol, triglyceride and atherogenic index of the subjects who smoked more than 20 cigarettes per day were significantly higher than those with smoking less or non-smokers. drinking alcohol more than 5 times per week showed higher atherogenic index than drinking less frequently of non-drinking. Subjects doing exercise had higher HDL-cholesterol level than those with no exercise. The intakes of all nutrients were above 90% of RDA and the subjects with good food habit had lower of total cholesterol, triglyceride, atherogenic index and lipoperoxides. The study indicates that avoiding heavy smoking and drinking as well as obesity and keeping regular exercise, good food habit and diversity of foods will reduce risk of cardiovascular diseases in middle-aged men.

Objectives Childhood trauma increases substantial risks for later developing not only mental health issues including psychotic illnesses such as schizophrenia but also physical illness. In this study, possible associations of childhood trauma with metabolic syndrome and physical heath indices were tested among outpatients with schizophrenia. Methods A final sample of 46 adult outpatients with schizophrenia was recruited from an outpatient psychiatric unit of Hanyang University Guri Hospital. Participants completed the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire-Short Form (CTQ-SF), laboratory tests and physical measurement including Body Mass Index (BMI) and Waist to hip ratio (WHR). The Clinical Global Impression (CGI) scale and the Global Assessment of Functioning scale (GAF) were also administered. Results We did not find significant correlations between total scores of childhood trauma and any of these variables, but physical neglect was negatively associated with BMI (r = -0.329, p = 0.026) and waist circumference (r = -0.304, p = 0.040). Conclusions In this preliminary study, we noted that subtypes of childhood trauma could contribute to physical health status separately. Clinicians need to consider the possibility that childhood trauma may affect physical health as well as psychological aspect of schizophrenic illness.

Objectives : The limited number of studies to date have mainly focused on the effect of obesity on the characteristics of plantar foot pressures. This study is designed to find the correlation between plantar pressure and obese index. Methods : This study assessed the body composition of 30 obese women using bioelectrical impidence analysis and Gaitview AFA-50. The static and dynamic plantar pressure was determined from electronic footprints captured using a capacitive pressure distribution platform during standing and walking. The data were analysed by independent t-test and Pearson Correlation. Results : Positive correlations were noted between body weight, body mass index(BMI), waist circumference(WC), waist-hip ratio(WHR) and difference of fore and rear plantar pressure. And negative correlations were noted between body weight, BMI, WC, WHR and difference of left and right plantar pressure. Conclusions : The findings of this pilot study suggest that body composition influences the waight distribution in overweight and obese subjects.

Purpose: This study was conducted to examine the pro-environmental attitude (actual commitment domain, verbal commitment domain, affect domain), behavior to decreased exposure and knowledge of endocrine disruptors by obesity -related profiles (BMI, body fat percentage, visceral fat percentage, skeletal muscle mass percentage, waist circumference, waist-hip ratio). Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 102 nursing students. Data were collected from November to December, 2015 using self-report questionnaires and physical measurements. Data were analyzed using t-test, Pearson correlation and coefficients with SPSS 18.0. Results: The study results showed that actual commitment domain of pro-environmental attitude and behavior to decreased exposure level on endocrine disruptors were significantly related to visceral fat percentage. Actual commitment domain of a pro-environmental attitude was significantly related to body fat percentage. Pro-environmental attitude was significantly related to the behavior to decreased exposure level on endocrine disruptors and knowledge thereof. Conclusion: These findings suggest that visceral fat and body fat percentages were significantly related to the actual commitment domain of a pro-environmental attitude. Therefore, a replication study is recommended to understand the connection between endocrine disruptors and obesity. In addition, developing an education program about endocrine disruptors for nursing students is recommended. In particular, a pro-environmental attitude, especially on actual commitment domain, could be involved as an education program.

This study aimed to analyze the characteristics of the lower-body shape of middle-aged males with abdominal obesity by type and consider dimensional distribution to present a suit-pants size. The criteria were having a waist circumference greater than 90 cm and a waist-to-hip ratio(WHR) greater than 0.90; a total of 566 middle-aged males were surveyed. The findings revealed that, first, compared to standard lower-body types, the average body size of abdomenobese middle-aged males was significantly larger, especially in the horizontal area than in the vertical ares. Second, through a cluster analysis, a total of three categories of abdominal obesity were defined: small oval, large cylinder, and trapezoid type. The coverage rates of each type were 93.8%, 75.9%, and 93.0%, respectively. Finally, the suit-pants size system established according to lower-body types indicated the basic body size and reference body size were different for each type and also for the KS K 0050 male adult's garments size system. According to the definition of abdominal obesity, the types of abdominal obesity and the dimensions of each area are different, even if they belong to the same obesity group, suggesting that it is necessary to develop a pattern based on the analysis of obesity types.
