본 연구는 40~50대 중년여성을 대상으로 측정한 체내지방분포와 심전도 QTc 간격과의 관련성을 규명하기 위하여 2004년 7월부터 2005년 8월까지 일개 광역도 소재의 일개 군 보건소 운동처방실을 방문한 여자 100명을 대상으로 체내지방분포와 심전도 QTc 간격 등을 측정하였다. 주요 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 중년여성의 안정시 심전도 QTc 간격과 체내지방분포와의 상관관계에서는 비만도, 체질량지수, 체지방율, 허리둘레, 엉덩이둘레, 허리-엉덩이둘레 비가 유의한 상관관계를 보였다. 2. 체지방율이 30% 이상인 비만군과 30% 미만인 정상군의 QTc 간격은 비만군이 정상군에 비해 QTc 간격이 더 연장된 결과를 보였다. 3. 허리둘레가 80cm 이상인 복부비만군과 80cm 미만인 정상군의 QTc 간격은 복부비만군이 정상군에 비해 QTc 간격이 더 연장된 결과를 보였다. 4. 연구대상자의 안정시 QTc 간격을 종속변수로 한 다중회귀분석을 실시한 결과를 살펴보면, 체지방율과 허리둘레가 유의하게 나타났다. 40~50대 중년여성의 심전도 QTc 간격에 영향을 주는 요인에는 체내지방분포에 따른 비만도, 체질량지수, 체지방율, 허리둘레, 엉덩이둘레 등 여러 요인들이 복합적으로 관련되는 것으로 판단되어지며, 그 중 전체지방분포를 나타내는 체지방율이 가장 크게 관련되는 것으로 판단되어진다.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of Ankle Exercise Program on Muscle Strength and Balance in Middle Aged Woman. Subjects of this study, among the patients who were diagnosed with obesity in the study, for patients total of 8 people have agreed to research. Experimental group 4 people, control group 4 people, was a total of 8 people. Group-specific arbitration method, was applied to Unstable supporting surface exercise program(experimental group) and stable supporting surface exercise program(control group). Each training courses 30 minutes for 6 weeks, examined the changes in Functional Reach Test(FRT) and One Leg Standing(OLST), Dorsi Flexion(DF) and Plantar Flexion(PF) ability to examine a total of 6-week course effectively. The intervention were compared by measuring before and after. There were significant improvements in the subscales of the muscle strength and balance test of those who practiced with the unstable supporting surface exercsie program, while the control group showed no significant changes. Therefore, unstable supporting surface exercsie program is effective in improvement of to improve the muscle strength and balance in woman with obesity.

This is a convergence study to investigate the relationship between cereal intake level and food and nutrient intake in 218 Chinese middle aged women aged 40 to 65 years. Data were analyzed by ${\chi}^2$ test, ANOVA, correlation analysis and Jonckheere-Terpstra trend test using SPSS 22.0 program. The results of the study were as follows. The higher the level of cereal intake in the subjects, the lower were the rate of breakfast fasting (p for trend=0.000), overeating (p for trend=0.019), and eating out (p for trend=0.003). The intake of root and tuber crops(p for trend=0.008), meat(p for trend=0.043), pulses(p for trend=0.020), and light colored vegetables(p for trend=0.015) per 1,000 kcal of energy increased when the level of cereal intake was 6 to 9 units. Therefore, it is necessary to discuss and study for continuous education and improvement through the feedback so that the middle-aged women can take the cereal appropriately.

The middle aged women in their 40s and 50s were the subjects for this study. There were 6 women for the group of complex exercise. There were 6 women for the group of complex exercise and intake of peony beverage. There were 5 women for controlled group. This study compares and analyzes the effect of complex exercise program, in which the subjects exercise 60 minutes a day for three times a week, on the physical structure, inflammation factors and metabolic syndrome of middle aged women. The result is as shown in the following. there were significant difference (p<.001) for fibrinogen of each group in the change of inflammation factors due to regular complex exercise program and intake of peony beverage. But there were not significant difference in the period, period x the effect of groups' interaction. It is believed that there could be polluted variables, as the number of subjects for this study is not enough. So there should be a study that has more subjects to make it more significant.

Data collection was conducted from March 2020 to May 2020 using a structured questionnaire from a sample of 110 middle-aged women. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis test, Pearson's correlation coefficients and multiple linear regression analysis using SPSS Window 25.0 program. As a result of the study, the influence factors on the depression were confirmed by the somatic symptoms(β=0.42, p<.001), aging anxiety(β=0.35, p<.001) and total explanatory power of the variables was found to be 48.0%. Therefore, based on the result of this study, it suggests that more research is needed a program that considers somatic symptoms and aging anxiety when developing interventions to reduce depression and to verify the effectiveness.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of Dance Sports on body composition, blood level of lipids and leptin in the middle-aged women. The 24 subjects for this study were divided into three groups by the % fat classification non-obese control group (n=8, CG), obese group with Dance Sports (n=8, OG), and normal group with Dance Sports (n=8, NG). They performed Dance Sports with 60∼80% of HRmax, for 60min a day and three times per week during 12 weeks. The body composition, blood levels of total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, triglyceride and leptin were examined before and after Dance Sports. The percent body fat was decreased in OG and NG significantly. The blood levels of HDL-cholesterol were increased in OG and NC after the Dance Sports. The blood levels of triglyceride was significantly decreased in the same groups. Other serum lipids were not changed significantly. The blood levels of leptin were decreased in OG and NC after the Dance Sports. But the lowering effect of Dance Sports in the obese group (OG) was not improved compared with that in the normal group (NG), suggesting that Dance Sports on the obese group (OG) has no further improving effect in the change of blood lipid and leptin. These results suggest that Dance Sports has a beneficial effect on the change of blood levels of HDL-cholesterol and leptin.
