Abstract

This study have researched on feasibility of bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA, which is simple useful evaluation tool for predictive factor of cardiovascular disease) to patients who have to travel along the sea for a long-period time and have difficulty in visiting medical institutions. We studied on the basis of total cholesterol value, which is nowadays widely used tool for predictive factor of cardiovascular disease, and also studied its association with BIA value via statistical analysis. Our result showed correlation with fat thickness of individual sites, and especially, fat thickness of left thigh showed high relation with total cholesterol value. This result shows that people who are in travel of long-period of time at sea are feasible of using BIA to evaluate changes of left thigh fat thickness as predictive factor for cardiovascular disease. Due to lack of advanced researches further studies should be done. And based on special circumstances in sea, more studies should be done to validity concerning this circumstances and accuracy of this evaluation tool.

본 연구는 장기간의 해상활동으로 의료기관 방문이 어려운 해상 활동자의 심혈관계질환 예측인자로 검사가 용이한 생체전기저항분석법 (BIA; bioelectrical impedance analysis)의 활용이 가능한지를 확인해보았다. 현재 심혈관성질환의 예측인자로 사용되고 있는 총콜레스테롤 측정치를 기준으로 BIA의 측정치와 관련성을 통계적 방법으로 분석한 결과 인체부위별 지방두께와 상관관계를 보였으며, 특히 왼쪽(왼) 허벅지의 지방두께가 총 콜레스테롤 측정치와 높은 상관관계를 나타냈다. 이 결과로 장기적인 해상 활동을 요하는 사람들은 BIA 검사를 통해 왼허벅지의 지방두께 변화를 심혈관질환의 예측인자로 활용할 수 있을 것이다. 하지만 선행연구의 부재로 후속연구가 필요하고 해상이라는 특수 상황이 고려된 측정도구의 정확성과 타당성 진단이 이루어져야 될 것으로 사료된다.
