This study was a secondary analysis research using data from the Seventh Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES VII-2), 2017 to identify the relationships between obesity and physical activities and prevalence of osteoarthritis in menopause women. The subjects were 1,516 menopause women aged over 19 years who participated in the KNHANES VII-2, 2017. Data were downloaded from the KNHANES website and analysed through complex sampling design data analysis using IBM SPSS 21.0 program. Prevalence of osteoarthritis is 1.88 times higher in women with body mass index (BMI) above pre-obesity and non-abdominal obesity and 1.98 times higher in women with BMI above pre-obesity and abdominal obesity than in women with BMI normal or low weight and non-abdominal obesity. These results indicate that obesity prevention and management should be provided to prevention of osteoarthritis for menopause women and obesity should be considered body mass index and abdominal obesity.

This study examined the factors affecting abdominal obesity by sex among the Korean elderly focusing on health and health behavior related factors. The data utilized in this study were derived from the Sixth Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES VI-3) conducted from January to December 2015 by the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The subjects of this study were 599 men and 793 women over the age of 65 for whom their waist circumference was known. The data were analyzed by a complex sampling design method applying weights using the SPSS 23.0 program. Korean elderly showed significant differences in demographic factors, health-related factors, and health behaviors according to gender. The abdominal obesity rate of elderly males was 38.3%, while that of elderly females was 50.5%. Among the factors related to health and health behavior, frequency of binge drinking among elderly male and subjective health status of elderly females were significant factors influencing abdominal obesity. Therefore, programs for abdominal obesity management of elderly Koreans should be planned with consideration of differences in health related factors and health behavior and influencing factors by sex.

흔히 뱃살이 나오는 것으로 표현되는 복부비만은 배에 과도한 지방이 축적된 상태로, 한국인의 허리둘레 기준으로는 남자 35.4인치(90cm), 여자 33.5인치(85cm) 이상인 경우에 해당한다. 지금까지 복부비만은 대사증후군의 일환으로서 당뇨병 발생 위험이나 심혈관계 질환의 위험을 높이는 것으로 알려져 왔으나 최근의 연구 결과에 따르면 허리둘레가 독립적으로 제2형 당뇨병 발병 위험과 밀접하게 연관된 것으로 나타났다.

주변을 돌아보면 배가 나온 사람을 심심찮게 찾아볼 수 있다. 예전에는 튀어나온 배를 후덕함의 상징으로 여겼지만, 요즘은 미용상 뿐 아니라 건강상에도 좋지 않은 것으로 보고 있다. 복부비만이 심할 경우 대사질환으로 발전할 가능성이 높아져 당뇨, 고혈압, 고지혈증 등이 동시에 나타나는 대사증후군으로 이어질 수 있다. 이러한 질병에 한꺼번에 노출되면 생명까지 잃을 수 있어 매우 치명적이다.

Abdominal obesity, especially, visceral obesity is thought to be a risk factor of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, coronary artery disease. Based on previous studies visceral fat accumulation is highly related to these diseases compared to subcutaneous fat accumulation. The purpose of this study was to see the relation between abdominal obesity and lipid profiles in adult women. The included subjects were 25 adult women(BMI > $23\;kg/m^2$), who visited the obesity clinic in a general hospital from April 2006 to September 2007. Blood pressure, fasting glucose and lipid profiles were measured. The abdominal fat distribution had been assessed by CT scan at the level of L4-L5. From bivariate analyses, the visceral fat accumulation showed negative correlations with TC and TC/HDL. The BMI, total abdominal fat and Visceral fat/Subcutaneous fat ratio showed significant correlations with visceral fat accumulation. From linear regression analyses of all the study subjects, TC, TG and HDL were found to be determinants of the visceral fat accumulation($R^2\;=\;0.474$).

베타-사이클로덱스트린은 7개의 글루코스 단위가 $\alpha$-1,4 결합으로 연결된 환상고리형 올리고당으로서 전분을 효소처리하여 추출한 물질이다. 베타-사이클로덱스트린은 혈액내 지질 함량을 현저하게 떨어뜨릴 수 있는 hypolipdemic, hypotriacylglyceridemic 그리고 hypocholesterolemic 효과를 가지므로 비만을 예방하는데 도움이 될 수 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 베타-사이클로덱스트린을 이용하여 조제된 펠렛 형태의 식이가 비만인의 체중, 체지방, 복부비만 감소 및 혈액 지질함량 감소에 미치는 효과를 조사하는 것이었다.

The purpose of this study was to predict abdominal obesity with 3-Dimensional computed tomography (3D CT) measurements of kidneys by analyzing the correlation between kidney sizes and abdominal obesity level. The subjects were 178 healthy adults without underlying diseases who had a comprehensive health examination at the Health Medical Center of Jesus Hospital in Jeonju. Abdominal obesity was measured by CT cross-sectional image at the level of the umbilicus and divided into visceral fat area, subcutaneous fat area, visceral fat/total fat ratio. The average comparison of kidney sizes classified according to abdominal obesity were performed through one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Scheffe test. Pearson correlation analysis was performed to correlate all measurement values. The results of kidney size ANOVA analysis according to abdominal obesity were as follows. The means of kidney measurements according to visceral fat classification were significantly different in all kidney measurements (p<0.05). And in case of subcutaneous fat classification, the means of kidney measurements by 3D CT of the severe obesity group were significantly different in the right kidney width (p<0.05). In case of visceral fat area/total fat area ratio, the means of kidney measurements by 3D CT of the severe obesity group were significantly different in both kidneys width (p<0.05). Pearson correlation between kidneys measurements and CT abdominal obesity showed that visceral fat area had the highest correlation with the left kidney width measured by 3D CT (r=0.467) and subcutaneous fat area had correlation with the right kidney width measured by 3D CT (r=0.249). The visceral fat area/total fat area ratio had correlation with the left kidney width measured by 3D CT (r=0.291).

Purpose : Visceral fat accumulation plays a major role in metabolic complications of obesity. It is known that nonalcoholic fatty liver in obese adults is associated with visceral fat accumulation. Body mass index(BMI) is used as the index of obesity in children. The aim of this study is to evaluate the correlation of BMI and visceral adipose tissue(VAT), and the correlation of BMI, body fat distribution, aminotransferases, and severity of fatty liver. Methods : Twenty three obese children with fatty liver diagnosed by non-contrast abdominal computed tomography(CT) were included in this study. Data on BMI, aminotransferase levels were collected from clinical records. Visceral adipose area was evaluated with CT. Results : BMI had a singnificant correlation with VAT(r=0.51719, P=0.0115). The severity of fatty liver had no significant correlations with BMI(r=-0.11938, P=0.5876), VAT(r=-0.31234, P=0.1468), aspartate aminotransferase(AST)(r=0.12729, P=0.5628) or alanine aminotransferase(ALT)(r=-0.00179, P=0.9935). Conclusion : BMI in obese children was correlated with VAT. But the severity of fatty liver cannot be assessed by BMI, VAT or aminotransferase levels.

To figure out the causes of obesity against middle-aged women, this study aimed to provide basic data for setting an obesity-related policy through analysis on diverse related factors. Against the healthy middle-aged women who visited 'N' Hospital Health Center in Incheon from April to November 2014, anthropometric assessment, body composition test and abdominal fat distribution test were conducted using Fat-CT. They were carried out against 159 women who agreed with the purpose of the study, using BMD, Q-CT. According to Fat-CT, subcutaneous and visceral types accounted for 39% (76 women) and 61% (119 respondents) respectively. In terms of BMI, 'underweight ($18.5kg/m^2$)' and 'overweight ($25kg/m^2$ or above)' were 13 women (6.7%) and 60 women (30.8%) each with the average of $23.5{\pm}4.11kg/m^2$. Mean while, waist circumference, diastolic blood pressure, systolic blood pressure and neutral fat were statistically significant at the 5% significance level. As getting older, muscle weakness offsets increase in body weight with abdominal obesity. A group with low BMI should also be considered due to increase in waist circumference.
