Purpose: The purpose of this research is a comparative study of the actual, the perceptive and the ideal body shape of the obese and non-obese female in their twenties and thirties Methods: The actual, the perceptive and the ideal body shape of the obese female and the non-obese female were collected and statistically analyzed in 25-34 years old. Results: In 25-29 years old the obese group and the non-obese group shows considerable difference in the weight, abdomen, calf circumstance in their actual body shape, but they recognize similar size as their ideal body shape in the hip, thigh and calf circumstances. They recognized that they are fatter than the actual body shape in the thigh, hip, and calf circumstances in common. In 30-34 years old the obese group and the non-obese group shows considerable difference in the weight, upper arm, abdomen, hip, thigh, calf circumstances in the actual body shape, but they recognize similar size as their ideal body shape in the thigh, hip, and calf circumstances. They recognized that they are fatter than the actual body shape in the weight, upper arm circumstances in common. Conclusion: These new data about body shape in 25-34 years women could be adopt as a useful clinical tool for body image related patients such as obesity, PCOD and postpartum patient in Korean women.

본 연구는 10주간의 복합운동프로그램 참여가 산후비만여성들의 대사증후군관련인자(HDL-C, TG, Glucose, 혈압, 허리둘레) 및 아디포사이토카인(Leptin, Adiponectin)에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 알아보았다. 연구대상자는 출산 후 40개월 이내 여성 총 14명으로 복합운동군 7명, 통제군 7명으로 배정하였다. 복합 운동 프로그램은 리듬운동을 적용한 유산소운동과 근력운동을 실시하였으며 주 2회, 80분간, 10주간 실시하였다. 자료처리를 위해 Mann Whitney U-test, Wilcoxon test, Spearman 상관분석을 실시하였다. 연구 결과, 대사증후군 관련인자에서 운동 실시 전, 후모든 항목에서 그룹 간 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 그룹 내 차이에서는 복합운동군에서 HDL-C 유의한 증가를 보였으며 TG, Glucose, 허리둘레에서는 유의한 감소를 나타냈고 통제군에서는 TG, Glucose에서 유의한 증가를 나타냈다. 아디포사이토카인의 결과를 보면, 그룹 내 차이에서만 복합운동군이 Adiponectin에서 운동 후 유의한 증가를 나타나냈다. 대사증후군 관련인자와 아디포사이토카인과의 상관을 보면 HDL-C, Glucose가 Adiponectin과 상관이 있는 것으로 나타났다.

Purpose: Gestational weight gain and prepregnancy body weight are important factors of childbirth outcomes, which further cause obesity, metabolic diseases, or psychological problems later in women's lives. Changes in diet, westernized lifestyle, traditional postpartum care, and childbirth at older age are thought to be threats to proper weight management in Korean women of reproductive age. Public health and antenatal care need to focus on the proper body weight management of women by carefully planning pregnancy to postpartum periods. Purpose: This study explored the body weight changes from pregnancy to postpartum and the related characteristics in women within 12 months after childbirth. Methods: A cross-sectional, retrospective study was conducted with 102 Korean women within 12 months after childbirth. Data were collected using an online survey system, and a structured questionnaire available for electronic self-administration was modified to include demographics, obstetrical history, and body weight at 6 time points. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire and Eating Habit Measurement instruments were also used in data collection. A professional survey agency recruited the participants, and data were automatically saved and then analyzed. Results: The average age of the participants was 33.8 years, 48% were housewives and were well-educated. Seventy-two percent of the participants were primiparas and 82% had breastfed their babies. The body mass index (BMI) ranged from 17.3 to 27.8, indicating that 21.5% of the participants were overweight or obese. The mean gestational weight gain was 11.8 kg, and weight loss was apparent during the first 3 months postpartum. The mean decline in weight was 3.4 kg at one year after childbirth. Women wanted to lose 5.6 kg (range: 3~20 kg), however 44% of them reported that they had not engaged in any weight control efforts. Further, 72% of them reported having engaged in a low level of physical activity. Body weight was not associated with women's characteristics, physical activity score, and diet. Conclusion: Women's awareness of gestational weight gain, lifestyle modification, and the risk of prolonged weight retention should be promoted through the antenatal and women's healthcare systems. As pregnancy and childbirth are critical events that affect women's health, integrative education to ensure healthy transition to life after delivery is required.
