Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the timing of precocious puberty and the factors inducing precocious puberty in elemental school girls students of low grades. The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grade 253 elemental girls students from the Goryong province were randomly selected, G and D elemental school. sexual maturation rate was assessed physical examination by the parents. After obtaining an informed consent, a questionnaire was administered to the parents; sexual maturation rate was assessed by self physical examination, eating habits, lifestyle and home background were evaluated to determine the factors that induced precocious puberty. The data were statistically analyzed. We selected 253 girls: The total percentage of the precocious puberty was 26.1%. 7(7.8%) 6-year-old girls, 9 (13.2%) 7-year-old girls, 50 (52.6%) 8-year-old girls were in breast stage 2 and over. The main factors influencing precocious puberty were obesity scale, frequency of eating instant food, TV watching time, stress levels and broken family. A high rating on the obesity scale and high frequency of eating instant food, too much time in front of TV, high stress and broken family indicated advanced stage of puberty. This study show that prevalence ratio of the precocious puberty was 26.1%. The significant influencing factors in advanced puberty were obesity scale and frequency of instant food, TV watching time, high stress and broken family.

본 연구자는 만8세 미만의 초등학교 여아들의 조기성조숙 현황을 조사하고 조기성조숙에 영향을 미치는 인자에 대해서 연구하고자 하였다. 고령군에 소재한 초등학교 G, D 2개의 초등학교 1,2,3학년 여학생을 전수 253명을 대상으로 학부모의 동의를 얻어 성 발달정도 및 비만의 정도, 생활습관(운동습관, 식습관, 수면습관 등), 가정환경 등을 조사하여 조기성조숙 발현의 영향인자를 통계학적으로 분석하였다. 총 253명의 학생을 대상으로 조사하였으며 각 연령에서 성조숙 현상을 보인 여아는 6세 90명중 에서 7명(7.8%), 7세 68명 중에서 9명(13.2%), 8세 95명 중 50명(52.6%)으로 나타났고 전체 253명중 66명(26.1%)이였다. 조기성조숙에 영향을 미치는 인자로 통계적으로 유의성이 나타난 것은 비만도, 인스턴트섭취빈도, TV시청시간, 스트레스, 가족형태(결손가정)이었다. 비만도가 높을수록, 인스턴트 섭취 빈도가 높을수록, 스트레스가 많을수록, 결손가정에서 성 발달이 빨랐다. 본 연구의 결과 만8세 미만의 초등학교 저학년 여아 중 26.1%가 조기성조숙으로 나타났으며, 조기성조숙의 발현에 영향을 미치는 인자는 비만도, 인스턴트섭취 빈도, 스트레스, 가족형태(결손가정)등으로 조사 되었다.
