Comparative Study on Body Fat Distribution in Korean and Japanese Young Female Subjects
한국과 일본여자의 체지방 분포에 관한 연구
Abstract
The body fat distribution and nutritional state of the Korean and Japanese young female subjects were compared. Three-day individually weighed, dietary intakes and anthropometric measurements were determinded in 48 Korean and 60 Japanese female students. 19 to 23 yr of age, from the divisions of nutritions. The body composition estimates were measured by bioeletrical impedance-total body water(BI-TBW) method. There were no significant difference between the Korean and Japanese young females in body size and body shape. The Korean young females had lower estimated total body fat and internal fat that calculated by BI-TBW method, but there was no great difference between the Korean and the Japanese in subcutaneous fat. In contrast, the Korean young females are reported to have the same total energy expenditure per day as the Japanes young females and the total energy intakes and carbohydrate energy intake ratio per day were significantly higher than those of the Japanese young females. The difference in body fat distribution and energy intakes in Korean, and the role of capsaicin in red pepper are discussed as a possible determinant of the internal fat in the Korean vs the Japanese.
본 연구는 19세부터 23세까지의 한국과 일본 여대생 108명을 대상으로 체격을 비교하고, 나아가 환경인자의 영향으로 인한 신체적 변화를 신체조성으로부터 평가 비교하였다. 그리고 성인병의 발병인자의 하나이기도 한 신체내부지방의 축적량을 검사하여 이것과 관계 깊은 영양상태를 평가 하였으며 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1) 한
