인체높이항목의 키에 대한 프로포션 특징을 20대남자 350명, 20대 여자 284명을 대상으로 하여 분석하였다. 그 결과 하지부위의 길이비율은 남자보다 여자가 더 높게 나타나는 프로포션을 하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 각 특정항목간의 상관계수에서는 여성의 경우, 키와 높은 상관을 나타내는 부위는 무릎중 앙높이, 겨드랑점높이, 장골극높이로 나타났다. 남성의 경우는 키와 가장 높은 상관을 나타내는 부위는 목뒤높이, 겨드랑점높이, 무릎중앙높이 였으며, 그 다음으로 허리높이, 팔굼치높이였다. 각 측정치의 키 에 대한 분포에서는 특히 영덩이밑높이의 분포는 여성의 경우 더 넓게 분포가 흩어지므로서 개인차가 심 하고 여성 둔부체형의 형태를 결정하는 중요한 항목임을 알 수 있었다.

Purpose: This study examined knowledge about cardio-cerebrovascular disease (CVD) and its relationship to health behaviors among middle-aged postmenopausal women with CVD risk factors. Methods: The study was a cross-sectional descriptive study. One hundred and thirty-six postmenopausal women were recruited from outpatient departments of four hospitals. The women were $60.69{\pm}6.5$ years old. Self-reported questionnaires were administered, and waist-hip ratios (WHR) were measured. Results: Among the women, 72.8% reported hypertension, 19.1% reported diabetes, 33.8% reported hypercholesterolemia, and 24.2% reported angina pectoris. Moreover, 73.9% of the women reported not knowing of CVD prevention, and only 26.1% reported exercising regularly. A majority of the women (80.9%) had a WHR > 0.85. Multiple linear regression analysis after adjusting for age and marital status indicated that the risk of myocardial infarction and stroke increased (p<.001). Waist-hip ratio${\leq}0.85$ (p=.022) and living with family members (p=.006) were significant predictors of healthier behaviors ($R^2$=0.21, p<.001). Knowledge of CVD and health behaviors were not correlated. Conclusion: Obese women and women who live alone are no more likely to practice health behaviors aimed at CVD prevention than their counterparts in the sample. Education and exercise interventions are needed, especially for obese women, to promote healthy behaviors among middle-aged postmenopausal women with CVD risk factors.
