A survey was made of 976 students who were selected among students of 5 middle schools at Taegu so that it could furnish basic knowledge about sex education of adolescents by analyzing students recognition of sex, acquaintance with the opposite-sex, sex-education, The survery took a month from Nov. 1, to Nov 30, 1991. The results of this study are summarized as follows. 1. The general characteristics of the surveyed students. The survey consisted of 332 boys middle school student & 325 girls middle school students, 157 male & 162 female students of coeducational middle schools. 32.9% of them were from the first grade, 33.2% from the second grade & 33.9% from the third grade. 35.7% of them believed in Buddhism, 19% Christianism and the mode of their living standard, 86.7%, fell on 34.7% of their parents engaged in commerce and they were followed by salary man and public officals, 93.1 % of the students, parents were alive. 44.9% of their fathers were graduates of high school and 42.2% of their mothers middle school. 2. Sexual maturity 89.1 % of the surveyed girls had experienced menstruation. The mode of first menstruation, 48.2%, was at the age of 13 and the mean of it was 12.9, 3.7% the surveyed boys had exprienced a wet drem before. The mode of the first wet dream, 40.0%, was at the age of 14 and the mean was 13.4. 21.3% of surveyed students had the experience of masturbation but the number of girls fell far short of that boys. The mode of the first masturbation, 37.0%, was at the age of 14 and the mean was 13.4. 3. The acquaintance and sexual relations with the opposite sex 1) Analyzing the students actual conditions with the opposite, I found out that 52.3% of them wanted to have any kind of relations with the opposite and that 30.25 had already had some kind of relations. 73.2% of the students having relations with the opposite thought the other sex merely as a friend and the number of students who were thinking that way was distributed evenly among schools. 28.8% of the students had got acquainted with the other sex through their frieds and there were not much difference between boys and girls in the method of getting acquainated with the opposite. About 35.2% of the students having relations with the opposite came from the third grade. 47.8% of them answered that the meeting place was not fixed and 26.4% answered that they were meeting their parthers outdoors. 60.7% replyed that they were not disturbed in their studies by the relations with the other sex. 2) Most of the students 79.4%, answered that they had never had sexual relations and 16.3% of the rest said that thery were expressing their feelings by grasping each other's hand. 3) 16.6% of the surveyed students asid that they had the exprience of smoking, 1.1 % of an illusion caused by inhaling chemical addhesives, 44.0% of drinking and 41.4% of warching pornographic films. 4. The knowledge and attitude about the sex 1) The distribution and analysis according to schools and grades : 64.8% of the surveyed students answered correctly to the questions about mensturation, 49.3 % did so about wet dreams, 94.3 % did so about conception, 60.6% did so about child birth, 73.9% did so about AIDS and 50.1 % did so about sexual diseases. Roughly speaking, they had not much knowledge of sexual diseases. 2) The recognition of sex according to schools and grades : 39.0% of the students said that they had worries about sex. 33.1 % of what they worried was concerned with their bodies and 26.8% was about the acqaintance and relationship with the opposite sex. The girls were much more concerned about the former and the boys the latter. 51.1 % of the students asid that they had no specific opinion of masturbation but 19.2% said that's alright if self-restrained. About the sexual intercourse before marriage, 75.7% said negatively. 5. The need for sex education most of the students, 99.4% said they needed sex education and there was not much difference in that thought among schools. And 49.7% answered that schools, families, and societies were equlally important in sex education. About half of the students, exactly 50.2%. considered it as the main reason of sex education to prevent accidents cauesd by ignorance of sex. 81.4% said that they had had some kind of sex education. Most of the educations, 87.0%, had taken place at schools but 5.2% said they were getting most of the knowledge about sex from therir friednds, juniors and seniors. 59.5% of the students who had ever had a sex education said "Just so, so" when asked of the level of their contentment but the number of students who said "satisfied" was only a few, 16.1 %. 20.7% of the survered answered that thery wanted sex education to be made in the course of home life, and 26.6 % of the students most wanted to know about the acquaintance and relationship with the oppostie sex, 29.0% preferred nurse teachers as proper councellors of sex education. The mode of their present councellors, 42.0%, was friends but only 7.6% answered they dicussed with teachers. 6. The correlation analysis between general characteristcs and sexual behaviors of the surveyed students revealed that sex had a signigicant(P<0.001) positive correlation with parents' love toward students(P<0.01), the experience of masturbation, smoking, an illusion caused by inhaling chemical adhesives and the experience of watching pornographic films. And the standard of living had a significant(P<0.01) positive correlation(P<0.01) with grade point average, parents' existence(P<0.01) and parents' love, but a significant(P<0.01) negative correlation with sexual worries. grade point average had a significant(P<0.01)negative correlation with the experience of an illusion caused by chemical adhesives(P<0.01) and smoking. Parents' existence had significant(P<0.01) positive correlations with parents' love and smoking but a significant(P<0.01) negative correlation with the experience of an illusion by chemical adhesives. There was a significant(P<0.01) negative correlations between parents' love and the experience of an illusion by chemical adhesives, and a significant(P<0.001) positive correlation among masturbation and sexual worries, smoking, an illusion by chemical adhesives and the experience of watching pornographic films. There was a significant(P<0.001) positive correlation among acquaintance with the opposite sex, smoking, the experience of an illusion by chemical adhesives and watching pornographic films. Sexual worries had significant(P<0.01) positive correlations with smoking, the experience of an illusion by chemical adhesives and watching pornographic films. smoking had a significant positive correlation with drinking the experirence of, an illusion by chemical adhesives and watching pornographic films. Finally, there was a significant(P<0.01) positive correlation between the drinking experience and the illusion experience by chemical adhesives. According to the results mentioned above, the fact is certain that there is a great need for sex education of adolescents. Therefore, it is desirable that the schools teach sexual physiology and normal positively and that sex education including hygien education be an independant course in the curriculums. Furthermore, it is essential that the schools should have enough nurse teachers to take up sex education, expand training opportunities for them and that they develop educational materials. Considering the unbalance of the level of sex educations between boys and girls, I want to suggest that all boys and girls have sex education evenly and lead happy lives by correction irrational thought about sex, that is to say, sex discrimination, Sex education programs, especially of middle school students, should be reexamined if it is to give the students effective and profitable knowledge about sex. In addition, the government should establish a policy of adolescents' sex education to have healthy opinions of sex settled nationwide.

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of aromatase inhibitor (AI) for ovulation induction in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) patients with thin endometrium, hyper-responsiveness after clomiphene citrate (CC) treatment. Material and Methods: A prospective study was performed in 43 PCOS patients (50 cycles) with ovulatory dysfunction between March 2004 and September 2004. AI group (total 36 cycles) included the patients 1) with thin endometrium below 6 mm on hCG day after CC (n=17), 2) with more than 5 ovulatory follicles after 50mg of CC (n=4), 3) who do not want multiple pregnancy (n=14). Patients were treated with Letrozole 2.5mg for days 3 to 7 of the menstrual cycle. CC group (total 14 cycles) were treated with CC 50~100 mg. Results: In PCOS patients, ovulation was occurred 97.2% after AI use. Between AI group and CC group, there was no significant difference in the mean age, duration of infertility, interval of menstruation, basal FSH, prior treatment cycles, and the day of hCG administration. But, the number of mature follicles (${\geq}15mm$) was lower in the AI group ($1.08{\pm}0.45$ vs. $1.64{\pm}0.75$) (p=0.018), and the thickness of endometrium (mm) was significantly thicker in the AI group ($10.35{\pm}1.74$ vs. $9.23{\pm}1.61$) (p=0.044), and E2 (pg/ml) concentration on hCG day was lower in the AI group ($116.9{\pm}75.8$ vs. $479.5{\pm}300.8$) (p=0.001). Among the AI group, patients with prior thin endometrium (below 6 mm) during CC treatment showed $10.6{\pm}1.6mm$ in the endometrial thickness and $106.6{\pm}66.8pg/ml$ in $E_2$ concentration. Patients with more than 5 ovulatory follicles after CC showed decreased follicle number ($1.25{\pm}0.5$) compared to prior CC cycle. Conclusions: In PCOS patients, AI group showed significantly thicker endometrium, lesser number of mature follicles, and lower E2 concentration on hCG day than CC group. AI might be useful alternative treatment for ovulation induction in PCOS patients with thin endometrium and hyper-responsiveness after CC treatment.

When recognition of the Ghi(氣) which exist in all things, is changed on the aspects of the science of nursing, the view of health and nursing will be more efficient and can be developed as the proper concept for Korean culture. I think it is nessary to confirm which philosophical basis of the will be applicable to nursing and how to it has to be developed. Therefore I can for the research of the Ghi phenomena to attain the Thoughts of philosophy that is appropriate to expound those phenomena. And I attempt to induct "the fusion of horizons" to unify the view of the I world between Korea and the West. The Ghi is very energetic and omnipresent among the universe, Nature, and the human being. So it can organize all the primary elements of mental and I physical function of human as like life, mind, breath, feeling, energy, etc. A general concept of the Ghi is described as follows ; (1) The Ghi is the origin and essence to organize the universe, Nature, and the human being. (2) It is the perpetually movable thing. (3) And there are continuous transmission between the Ghi of the universe and the human through 'body, mind, and soul. For review on the philosophic basis of the Ghi, I studied out the identity of the doctrine of Li and Ch'i(理氣論) in the field of philosophy of Korea and the West. In Korea, the concept of the Vigor is based on Ch'i monolism(기일원론) and Li Ch'i dualism (이기이원론) of Yul-gok Lee's, Toi-kye Lee's, Hwa-dam's, and/or Hekang's. These are indispensable for the view of the world of Korea as Metaphysical ideology, Concrete science, Materialism, Ontology, and Epistemology. From the viewpoint of the philosophy of the West, the doctrine of Li and Ch'i(이기론) of Korea is identical with the doctrine of Li and Ch'i(이기론) of Joo-ja, Idea of Plato, Metaphysics of Aristotle, World Spirit(Weltgeist) of Hegel, and Existentialism of Heidegger. In the nursing theory of the West, some of them referred to the Ghi as like Energy field theory of Rogers and Energy exchange of Neuman. Though there are different in terminology, "energy" and the "Ghi" are induced comparable therapeutic action between the human and the environments. With the nursing theory of Korea, I have made an attempt to compare the Ghi with metaparadigm of nursing-the human being, the environment, the health, and the nursing. For the most part, the alternative therapy is resonable to the frame of the nursing theory of Korea. It is easy to apply alternative therapy on the every spot of nursing. So this therapy could be a kind of forms as nursing therapy in the nursing centers where take the duties of supporting in local societies. In result, independent nursing intervention will be activated by the nurse who puts up with the major parts. It is available to apply this therapy to palliation of pain, insomnia of infant, Sanhujori (산후조리), pain of menstruation, arthritis. And the alternative therapy makes it possible to propose the nursing model which represent originality, tradition, and history of the nursing of Korea. Additionally, in the field of the nursing, it is indispensable to choose a suitable methodology which is considered whether it is matched with a theory of philosophy in the boundary and object of the research. Because there are many way to get the knowledge of nursing related to the Ghi. In the science of nursing, context of sociocultural background and frame are required to understand the person who need to take care of (nursing client). But the value systems of the West and the East are distinctive each other as well as the behavior of health persuance. Therefore it is the basic research data of great worth to review philosophical the Ghi phenomena which is well known to Korean.

남성 및 여성의 타액내 testosterone의 농도를 측정하기 위하여 초감도 효소면역측정법 (ultrasensitive enzymeim-munoassay; EIA)을 정립하고, 이 EIA를 이용하여 한국인 정상 여성 및 남성의 타액에서 testosterone의 정상농도를 얻고자 하였다. 정상 월경주기를 가진 여성 18명에서 아침 6～9시 사이에 타액을 채취하였고, 남성의 타액도 오전 (9～10시)중에 채취하였다. EIA의 표지물질로는 horseradish peroxidase를 사용하였고, 기질은 ABTS [2,2'-azino-di(3-ethyl-benzthiazoline sulphonic acid)]를 사용하였다. 항원 항체 결합형과 비결합형의 분리를 용이하게 하기 위해 항혈청을 microcrystalline cellulose 에 mixed anhydrohydride 방법을 이용하여 부착시켜 사용하였다. 항원항체 결합 후 기질을 첨가하여 반응을 시키고 발색시켜 분광광도계를 이용하여 흡광도를 측정하였다. 본 EIA의 특성을 방사면역측정법 (RIA)과 비교하여 평가하였다. 본 실험에서 정립된 EIA의 감도 (sensitivity)는 약 25 pg/tube 이하이었고, 표준시료를 첨가해 측정치와 기대치를 비교한 정확도(accuracy)는 측정치 (Y) = 0.96 X 기대치 (X) - 0.89이었고 상관계수 (r)는 0.985이었다. 본 실험에서 생산하여 사용한 항체의 역가는 1/56,000이었고, 항체의 교차반응(cross-reaction)을 다른 8종의 steroid를 이용하여 조사한 결과 5 $\alpha$-dihydrotestosterone (DHT)와 52%로 나타났으나 다른 steroids와는 0.1% 이내의 교차반응도를 나타내었다. 정밀도 (precision)는 intra-assay variation 과 inter-assay variation의 변이계수 (coeffcient of variation)가 10% 내외로 만족할 만한 범위에 들었다. 본 실험 방법을 타액과 혈청내 testosterone 농도 측정에 응용하여 RIA의 결과와 비교하여 본 바 상관관계가 타액에서 r=0.969, 혈청에서 r=0.990으로 두 결과가 잘 일치하였다. 본 실험에서 측정된 한국인 여성의 타액내 testosterone농도는 107.7$\pm$12.0 pmol／l이었고, 남성의 타액내 농도는 274.2$\pm$22.1 pmol／l이었다. 이상의 결과로 보아 본 연구에서 정립된 EIA 방법은 RIA를 대신하여 소규모의 실험실에서도 활용할 수 있을 것으로 사려된다.

This study was undertaken to observe relationships between patterns of feeding, supplementary-feeding and various maternal, family, and socioeconomic charactereistics in Hae Cheog Apartment area in Cheongdam-dong, Kangnamku, Seoul on July 2 to 12 in 1982. The results were based on a questionnaire from 179 mothers who have the last-born child under two years old. Results were as follows: 1) In socio-demographic characteristics, most of mothers were 25 to 30 years old and 52.0% of index children were under 6 months old. About 56.0% of families were the salaries and 47.0% of them earn over 500,000 won a month. 40.8% of mothers were college graduates and 81.6% of mothers had no occupation. 2) 89.4% of mothers received prenatal care in pregnancy of the index children and mothers who have delivered the child in medical institute were 88.3%. Mothers who recieved education of breast care and feeding technique through prenatal care were 22.4%, 31.8% respectively. 3) In the feeding method, 44.1% of mothers took the breast feeding, 24.0% of them chose the artificial feeding, and 20.7% of them chose the mixed feeding. Mothers who changed the-method from breast feeding to artificial feeding were 10.6% and only 0.6% of mothers changed from artificial feeding to breast feeding. 4) According to the questionnaire, 37 mothers have already finished lactation (no relation with. the beginning of weaning food). In breast feeding, one mother has lactated for $4{\sim}6$ months, one has lactated for $7{\sim}9$ months, four have lactated for $10{\sim}12$ months, and seven have. continued the lactation over 12 months. In artificial and mixed feeding, as the same phenomenon, most of mothers have lactated for more than 12 months. 5) The reasons for feeding method were as follows: In breast feeding, 64.6% of them took the method because they thought the breast milk nutrious, in artificial feeding, 34.9% of them chose it because they had occupation and in the mixed feeding, 67.6% of mothers took the method because of lack of their breast milk. In the case of changing the method from breast feeding to artificial feeding, 42.1% of them answered that they had to change the method because of lack of breast milk. 6) In most of cases, the 4th month was the proper period to begin the weaning food and 32.5% of breast feeding children and 27.6% of artificial feeding children began the weaning food in 4th month. After 4th month, there was no difference between breast feeding and artificial feeding in the beginning of weaning food. 7) In the matter of menstruation, 29.8% of mothers who had breast feeding started their menstruations in 3 months and the rest of them delayed until 12 months. 40% of mothers who had artificial feeding began to menstruate after 2 months and all the rest started within 5 months. 8) The birth interval between the index child and next new child (would-be-born): In breast feeding, the interval of $18{\sim}24$ months had a majority as 50.0%, and in the artificial feeding, the interval of over 24 months marked 66.7% of them. It was analyzed that the birth interval of artificial feeding was wider than that of breast feeding. 9) In the desirable number of children, the mothers who had breast feeding wanted two sons and two daughters as proper children. Those who want two children in disregard of the sex (son or daughter) were 89.3% of breast feeding, and 80.0% of artificial feeding respectively. Mothers who had breast feeding wanted two children rather than one child. 10) In the family planning practice, the rate of practice were 41.9% in breast feeding, and 58.1% in artificial feeding respectively. In the case of breast feeding, the using rate of family planning practice in men was higher than in women.

농촌 여성들의 출산력과 임신소모율을 조사하기 위해 군위군에 거주하는 15-49세의 여성 가운데 조사시작 당시 영구불임 수술을 하지 않은 유배우 가임여성을 대상으로 17명의 면 보건요원들이 1985년 4원 1일부터 1987년 3월 31일까지 2년간 추적 관찰하여 그들의 피임 실천율, 출산율 그리고 임신 소모율을 조사하였다. 총 관찰된 6,826 여성인년 가운데 피임을 실천한 기간은 3,522인년(51.6%), 임신, 유산 그리고 출산을 한 기간은 519인년(7.6%)이었으며 피임을 하지 않은 기간은 2,491인년(36.5%)이었다. 조사시작 당시에 영구불임 수술을 한 사람을 포함시켰을 경우에는 피임을 실천한 기간이 72.1%로 전국의 피임 실천율보다 오히려 높은 수준이었다. 그러나 30대 여성의 경우 2-3명의 자녀를 갖고서도 피임을 하지 않고 있는 사람이 약 28%나 되고, 피임을 하는 경우에도 월경 주기법이나 콘돔과 같은 실패율이 높은 피임법을 20대 여성보다 더 많이 쓰고 있었다. 관찰기간 동안 전체적으로는 100 여성인년당 14.3건의 임신이 일어났으며, 25-29세 여성 이 100 여성인년당 27.4건의 임신으로 가장 높은 임신율을 보였다. 전체임신 중 22.0%가 사산(0.9%), 자연유산(3.8%), 그리고 인공유산(17.3%)으로 소모되었다. 연령이 증가함에 따라 임신 소모율이 증가하여 30세 미만 부인의 임신 소모율은 15.8%인데 비해 30대 여성이 임신을 한 경우 37.5%가 인공유산을 하여 자연유산과 사산을 합한 임신 소모율이 43.5%나 되었다. 추적기간 동안에 인공유산으로 종결한 부인이 출생으로 종결한 부인에 비해 평균 자녀수와 자연유산 및 인공유산 경험회수가2배 이상으로 많아 유산을 경험한 사람이 유산을 반복하고 있었다. 출생으로 종결한 임부는 평균 4.2회의 산전 관리를 받았고 분만은 85%가 의료기관에서 일어났으며, 가정 분만은 15%로 전국의 농촌지역에 비해 높은 시설 분만율을 나타냈는데, 이것은 군위군이 일차 보건의료시범사업 지역이었기 때문으로 생각된다. 이와 같은 연구 결과로 보아 농촌 여성을 대상으로 한 가족계획 사업은 30대 여성을 대상으로 하여 경구 피임약이나 자궁내장치와 같이 피임 효과가 높은 피임법을 보급하는데 중점을 두어야 임신 소모율을 줄이고 여성건강을 증진시킬 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

목 적: 본 연구의 목적은 한국인 여성에서 자궁근종 발생과 관련된 인자를 찾고 기존 연구 결과와 비교 하는데 있다. 연구방법: 1998년 l월부터 2004년 12월 사이에 경북대학교병원을 정기 검사 및 산부인과 질환을 가진 환자로 치료를 위해 방문한 환자 중 외과적 또는 초음파검사상 자궁근종이 진단된 244명과 자궁근종이 없는 269명을 대조군으로 후향적인 연구를 시행하였다. 자료는 의료기록 조사로 이루어졌으며 통계분석은 $x^2$ 검정과 로지스틱 회귀분석을 시행하였다. 결 과: 다변량분석상 나이, 인공유산 횟수, 음주는 자궁근종 발생과 양의 상관관계를 나타내었으며, 수유기간에 따라서는 그와 반대의 관계를 나타내었다. BMI, 분만력, 초경 나이, 월경기간 및 간격, 카페인 섭취, 결혼 상태는 연관성을 나타내지 않았다. 결 론: 이번 연구는 한국인 여성에서 자궁근종 발생에 관련된 인자에 대한 첫 후향적인 연구로서 의의를 가지지만, 한국인 여성에서의 구체적인 발생인자에 대한 결론을 내리기에는 부족하였다. 따라서 한국인 여성에서의 자궁근종의 발생인자에 대한 향후 장기간에 걸친 대규모의 전향적인 연구가 필요하리라 여겨진다.

$^{18}F$-FDG PET/CT는 암세포에서 당 대사가 항진되는 현상을 이용하여 암환자의 진단에 폭넓게 사용 되고 있으며, 악성 종양에 대부분 섭취 되는 것이 일반적이지만, 정상 조직에도 섭취되는 경우도 있다. 이러한 현상은 보통 소화기계에서 빈번히 일어나며, 월경을 하는 가임기 여성에게서 자궁 주위에서의 섭취가 일어나기도 한다. 특히 가임기 여성은 월경에서 각 주기 동안 난소는 월경기, 증식기, 배란기, 분비기 이렇게 4단계의 주기를 거친다. 이러한 월경 주기에 따른 $^{18}F$-FDG 섭취는 영상에 다양한 영향이 미치기 때문에, 본 연구는 자궁의 $^{18}F$-FDG 섭취와 월경주기와의 관계를 알아보고자 하였다. 2008년 1월부터 2009년 3월까지 부인과 질환이 없고 월경이 규칙적인 $38{\pm}7.93$세 여성 환자 200명을 대상으로 하였다. 검사 전 6~8시간 금식 후 $^{18}F$-FDG 370 MBq를 정맥주사하고, 1시간 동안 충분한 휴식 후 전신 PET/CT 검사를 시행하였다. 영상 분석은 CT 영상으로 난소와 자궁의 위치를 정확히 파악한 후 같은 위상의 영상에서 표준화섭취계수를 측정하여 분석하였다. 월경주기에 따라 SUV의 변화가 크지는 않았지만, 분명 차이가 있었으며, 월경기 $SUV_{max}$는 $3.17{\pm}1.59$, $SUV_{avg}$는 $2.89{\pm}1.04$였고, 증식기 $SUV_{max}$는 $2.98{\pm}1.14$, $SUV_{avg}$는 $2.40{\pm}0.88$였다. 그리고 배란기 $SUV_{max}$는 $3.71{\pm}1.67$, $SUV_{avg}$는 $3.59{\pm}1.76$였고, 분비기 $SUV_{max}$는 $3.1{\pm}1.80$, $SUV_{avg}$는 $2.58{\pm}1.39$였다. 가임기 여성은 월경 주기에 따라 자궁과 난소에서 일정한 주기로 변화가 일어나며, 이에 따라 $^{18}F$-FDG PET/CT에서도 변화가 일어난다. 월경기, 증식기, 배란기, 분비기 이렇게 4단계의 주기를 가지고 영상에서 변화가 일어나므로, 검사 전 가임기 여성의 월경 주기를 파악하여 검사 시에 활용한다면, 자궁주변의 병변의 진단에 큰 도움이 될 것으로 사료된다.

This study was undertaken to obtain the menstrual patterns and menstrual discomforts in women university students. For the data collection, self-administered questionnaire survey was made from December 10, 1996 to January 20, 1997 among the 180 women university students in Seoul. The resultant data were processed by SAS program for frequency, proportion, and chi-square test. The results of this study are as follows ; 1) The mean age of the subjects was 20.6 years old. The mean height was 162cm and weight was 52.3Kg. $26.9\%$ of the subjects responded that they had experienced the unbalanced diet, $56\%$ the irregular meal, $39.6\%$intermittent dizziness, and $63.4\%$ the premenstrual syndrome. $53.7\%$ had feeling that skin temperature of their four extremities was 'a little lower than others'. The mean BMI(Body Mass Index) was 19.8, 'normal level' was $41.8\%$. $18.7\%$ responded that their characters were 'introspective ones'. The mean age of menache was 13.8 years old. The subjects responded that the mean number of pads they used per day during menstrual periods was 4.6 sheets. The mean duration of menstruation was 5.4 days, $10.4\%$ responded that their menstrual cycles were 'extremely regular', $44.8\%$ was 'regular', $36.6\%$ was 'a little irregular', and $8.2\%$ was 'extremely irregular'. Out of them who had experienced the dysmenorrhea, $21.3\%$ had family history of dysmenorrhea in connection with their mother and $35.0\%$ in their sisters. The mean of the first time that they experienced dysmenorrhea was 15 years old. $94\%$ of the subjects responded that they had experienced the dysmeorrhea. $47.6\%$ of the subjects responded that they experienced the dysmenorrhea 'monthly' and $52.4\%$ 'intermittently'. $53.0\%$ of them who had experienced dysmenorrhea responded that dysmenorrhea was the severest 'on the first menstrual day' and $22.4\%$ 'on the second day'. $48.8\%$ of them who had experienced dysmenorrhea responded that the most painful region was 'low abdomen'. $40\%$ of them who had experienced dysmenorrhea responded that they used 'analgesics' to soothe dysmenorrhea, $24.8\%$ used nothing, $18.4\%$ lay in their beds or slept, and $12\%$ made their 'low abdomen' warm. $70.3\%$ who had used analgesics because of dysmenorrhea took analgesics 'one or two times per month', $25.7\%$ 'intermittently', and $4.0\%$ more than 3 times per month. The analgesics which they used were 'geworin$(33.8\%)$,' 'penzal$(32.4\%)$', 'tyrenol$(18.9\%)$', and 'aspirin$(4.2\%)$'. $(47.9\%)$ of them who took analgesics because of dysmenorrhea responded that the duration of analgesics effect was '4 to 8 hours'. $15.1\%$ of them who experienced dysmenorrhea responded that they had visited the hospital. 2) The incidence of premenstrual syndrome was no significant difference according to the BMI, unbalanced diet, pattern of meal, skin temperature of four extremites, and characters. 3) The incidence of dysmenorrhea was significant difference according to the BMI, unbalanced diet, pattern of meal, skin temperature of four extremites, and characters. 4) The incidence of analgesics usage was significant difference according to the BMI, subjects with low BMI took more analgesics than those with normal BMI (p<.05). The incidence of analgesics usage was significant difference in accordance with pattern of meal. The women who had a meal regularly took more analgesics than those who had a meal irregularly(p<.05). But the incidence of analgesics usage was no significant difference in accordance with the unbalanced diet, characters, the incidence of dizziness, skin temperature of four extremities, the incidence of premenstrual syndrome.

본 연구는 저체중인 20대 성인 여성의 건강 상태와 영양 상태를 규명하기 위해 수행되었다. 1) 20대 여성의 저체중군과 다른 군들의 인구 사회학적 요인을 분석한 결과 교육수준은 저체중군이 가장 높았고 저체중군은 운동을 하지 않는 비율이 가장 높았다. 저체중군은 세 군에 비해 소득수준과 경제활동을 하지 않는 비율 또한 가장 높았다. 저체중군의 미혼 비율은 비만군보다 높았다. 2) 혈액 및 혈압 검사를 분석한 결과 각 항목의 평균은 비만도의 네 군 모두 정상수치에 해당하였다. 그러나 비만도별 네 군을 비교한 결과 저체중은 과체중, 비만보다 만성질환 위험이 낮아질 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 3) 여성력 분석 결과 저체중군의 모유수유 경험 비율이 가장 낮았다. 이는 출산 경험 비율이 가장 낮은 것과 관련이 있는 것으로 해석된다. 비만군보다 저체중군의 무월경의 비율은 낮았고 규칙적으로 월경을 하는 비율은 높았다. 4) 비만도군별 질환을 분석한 결과 저체중군의 고콜레스테롤혈증의 유병률이 과체중군과 비만군 보다 낮았으며 빈혈의 유병률은 높았다. 고혈압 유병여부의 '고혈압 전단계' 비율은 저체중군이 정상군보다 높았으나 과체중군과 비만군보다 낮았다. 당뇨병 유병여부는 저체중군, 정상군에 비해 과체중군, 비만군이 '공복혈당장애'와 '당뇨병' 비율이 높았다. 그러나 20대의 젊은 연령을 대상으로 조사 하였기 때문에 질환 유병에 해당되는 대상자가 극소수로, 저체중인 20대 여성의 비만도군별 질환의 특성을 규명하기 어려웠다. 또한 고혈압, 당뇨병, 이상지질혈증, 고콜레스테롤혈증의 유병 여부는 극소수였으나 저체중군이 과체중, 비만군보다 유병률이 낮았음을 알 수 있었다. 반면 빈혈은 비만도가 낮을수록 유병률이 높았다. 5) 20대 여성의 에너지, 탄수화물, 단백질, 지방 섭취량은 네 군 간에 차이가 없었고 영양섭취는 양호하였다. 6) 식품의 섭취빈도와 1일 섭취량 (g)을 분석한 결과 저체중군의 유제품 섭취빈도는 정상군, 과체중군에 비해 섭취빈도가 낮았다. 또한 곡류의 섭취량은 저체중군이 정상군, 과체중군보다 매우 높았으며 난류의 섭취량은 저체중군이 비만군보다 높았다. 본 연구 결과 20대 저체중 여성의 건강은 정상체중 여성의 건강과는 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 저체중 여성은 과체중과 비만 여성보다 당뇨병, 고혈압, 이상지질혈증 등의 만성질환 유병률이 낮았고 빈혈의 유병률은 높았으며 영양소 섭취는 비만도군 별로 차이가 없었다. 하지만 나트륨 섭취는 과다하고 칼슘 섭취가 부족하여서 향후 양호한 영양상태 및 건강 상태를 유지하기 위해 올바른 식습관 등 건강행태와 적절한 영양소 섭취가 필요할 것이라 사료된다. 또한 이번 연구에서 저체중 여성을 극저체중 여성과 구분하지 않았으므로 극저체중 여성의 건강 상태와 영양 상태를 살펴보는 후속 연구가 필요하다.
