Abstract

This survey was conducted from June 2004 to August 2004, through questionnaires given to 432 women aged ranging from 20 to 50 years, who were living in the Seoul metropolitan area. The questionnaires were designed to determine the physique, level of obesity and dieting survey as well as to uncover which diets were in fashion and their satisfaction degree. Dieting-related knowledge and dieting side effects were also investigated. The results were as follows: In dieting survey, as the age increased, dieting for health reason (52.3%) increased, whereas that for aesthetic reasons (32.6%) decreased (p<0.05). The most effective methods of dieting were exercise (50.2%) and diet (45.0%) regimens. In regards to exercise frequency, 46.5% for none, 23.5% for 1-2 times a week, suggesting that most respondents do not practice exercise for dieting purposes (p<0.05). Major source for dieting was shown to be obtained from relative family or friends (31.7%), newspapers or magazines (29.3%) and internet (14.9%). As the age decreased, information from the latter increased, whereas that from TV program (21.2%) decreased (p<0.05). Reasons for excess weight were bad eating habits (39.6%), lack of exercise (38.3%), pregnancy and childbirth (10.6%). In fad dieting, while organic foods and aerobic exercises scored the highest satisfaction degree among diet and exercise regimens, on the other hand, sauna, steam baths and high temperature half-immersion baths scored the highest among surgery and other special therapies. As the age increased, the satisfaction degree for organic foods such as organic vegetable and high functional boiled cooked rice increased (p<0.05). As the age increased, scores on dieting-related knowledge decreased. Side effects of dieting included dizziness 06.2%) fatigue (15.1%) indigestion/constipation (11.1%) physical weakness 00.5%), loss of concentration (7.8%), dry skin (7.4%) loss of motivation (6.7%). The above results showed that attitude toward dieting among adult women varied with age and in light of the well-being trend, organic foods and aerobic exercises scored the highest satisfaction degree through all age.

서울지역에 거주하는20대부터 50대 이상에 이르는 각 연령층의 여성 432명을 대상으로 설문지를 이용하여 2004년 6월부터 8월에 걸쳐 체격 및 비만도, 전반적인 다이어트 실태조사, 다이어트 방법에 대한 만족도, 다이어트에 관한 지식, 다이어트 후 경험한 부작용 등을 조사한 결과는 다음과 같다. 조사대상자의 연령 분포는 20대 25.8%, 30대 26.5%, 40대 24.2%,50대 이상 23.5%이었으며 학력은 고졸이 32.6%로 가장 높았다. 조사대상자의 키는 160.45 cm, 체중 56.01kg, 희망체중 51.87 kg, BMI 21.92 $kg/m^2$로 나타났으며 연령에 따라서 유의적인 차이(p<0.05)를 나타내었다. BMI를 체격지수로 한 비만도는 저체중(BMI<18.5)은 10.1%, 정상군($18.5{\leq}BMI{\leq}22.9$)은 58.4%, 과체중($23.0{\leq}BMI{\leq}24.9$)은 17.6%, 비만($BMI{\geq}25.0$)은 14.0%로 나타났으며 연령이 높아짐에 따라 비만도가 증가하였다(p<0.05). 다이어트의 목적은 '건강을 위해' 52.3%, '몸이 무거워 거동이 불편해서' 15.0%, '아름다워 보이기 위해서'가 32.6%이었으며, 아름다워지기 위한 다이어트는20대에서 가장 높았으며 건강을 위한 다이어트는 40대, 50대 연령대에서 높았다(p<0.05). 가장 효과적이었던 다이어트 방법은 운동요법(50.2%), 식사요법(45.0%), 기타요법(4.8%) 순서이었다. 다이어트를 위한 운동 횟수에 있어서 46.5%가 '전혀 하지 않는다'라고 답하였으며 대부분의 조사대상자가 운동이 부족한 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 주당 운동 횟수가 증가함에 따라서는 연령이 높을수록 운동 횟수가 높게 나타났다(p<0.05). 다이어트에 관한 정보 출처는 '가족, 친구' 31.7%, '신문, 잡지' 29.3%이었으며, 군살의 원인은 '식습관'이 39.6%, '운동부족'이 38.3%, '임신과 출산'이 10.5% 순으로 나타났다. 가장 만족도가 높은 다이어트 방법은 식이 다이어트에서는 유기농 식품이었으며 유기농 채소와 잡곡밥 그리고 기능성 다이어트밥 등은 40대, 50대 연령대에서 만족도가 높았다. 운동 다이어트로는 유산소 운동, 외과수술 및 스페셜 다이어트로는 사우나, 찜질방, 고온 반신욕으로 나타났으나 연령별로 유의적인 차이는 나타나지 않았다. 연령 및 비만도에 따른 다이어트 지식에 대한 평균 점수는 10점 만점에 모두 9.02점이었으며 연령이 감소함에 따라서 영양지식 점수는 증가하였다(p<0.05). 다이어트 지식에 대한 정답율은 '성인병과 비만과의 관계'가 가장 높은 정답률(97.7%)을 보인 반면, '식사속도와 비만과의 관계'가 가장 낮은 정답률(83.3%)을 보였다. 다이어트 중의 부작용은 '어지러움증, 빈혈' 16.2%, '피로' 15.1%, '소화불량'과 '변비'가 각각 11.1%, '전신무력감'이 10.5%, '집중력 감소' 7.8%, '피부건조'가 7.4%, '의욕상실' 6.7% 순으로 나타났으나 연령별로 유의적인 차이는 나타나지 않았다. 이상의 결과로부터 본 연구에서 체중감량 다이어트를 효과적으로 하기 위해서 식이 다이어트는 친환경을 지향하는 '유기농 채소', 운동 다이어트는 '유산소 운동'이 가장 만족도가 높게 나타나 웰빙에 대한 관심이 높은 것을 알 수 있었다.
