폐경 전 성인여성의 실제 체지방률과 주관적 체형인식의 차이에 따른 혈당, 혈중 지질, 월경규칙성 및 체중감소노력과의 비교 분석

Abstract

This study aims at determining the comparative analysis of blood glucose, blood lipids, menstrual regularity and weight reduction effort according to the difference of actual body fat percentage and subjective body image perception among premenopausal women in Korea. We used data from the 1st and 2nd year of the fifth Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. The subjects, total 2,276 people, were classified into four groups according to actual body fat percentage and subjective body image perception. Data were analyzed by complex sample linear model, chi-squared analysis and logistic regression analysis. The significant level of hypothesis verification was set up as α= .05. The ration of actual body fat percentage to subjective body image perception was 31.4%. Body weight, waist circumference, body mass index and muscle mass were lower in obesity and perceived non-obesity group (ONG) than in non-obesity and perceived obesity group (NOG), and body fat percentage was higher. The significant difference between NOG and ONG was found only in total cholesterol level, and ONG was higher. In total physical activity, NOG was the highest among groups and ONG was the lowest. In weight control methods, exercise was for ONG, whereas dietary control was for NOG. The regularity of menstruation was 1.56 times higher for NNG and 2.13 times higher for ONG than obesity and perceived obesity group (OOG). OOG showed the highest effort to reduce weight in weight control effort. Less Weight reduction effort was shown in the order of NOG, ONG and NNG then OOG. Conclusively, because of differences in actual body fat percentage and distorted body image perception, premenopausal women have negative images on obesity which also affects their health.
