Abstract

To figure out the causes of obesity against middle-aged women, this study aimed to provide basic data for setting an obesity-related policy through analysis on diverse related factors. Against the healthy middle-aged women who visited 'N' Hospital Health Center in Incheon from April to November 2014, anthropometric assessment, body composition test and abdominal fat distribution test were conducted using Fat-CT. They were carried out against 159 women who agreed with the purpose of the study, using BMD, Q-CT. According to Fat-CT, subcutaneous and visceral types accounted for 39% (76 women) and 61% (119 respondents) respectively. In terms of BMI, 'underweight ($18.5kg/m^2$)' and 'overweight ($25kg/m^2$ or above)' were 13 women (6.7%) and 60 women (30.8%) each with the average of $23.5{\pm}4.11kg/m^2$. Mean while, waist circumference, diastolic blood pressure, systolic blood pressure and neutral fat were statistically significant at the 5% significance level. As getting older, muscle weakness offsets increase in body weight with abdominal obesity. A group with low BMI should also be considered due to increase in waist circumference.

본 연구의 목적은 중년기 여성을 대상으로 비만의 원인을 규명하기 위하여 필요한 다양한 관련요인을 분석함으로서 향후 비만 정책방향에 기초자료를 제공하는데 있다. 2014년 4월부터~11월까지 인천지역의 N 병원 건강증진센터를 방문한 건강한 중장년 여성들 중 본 연구의 목적에 동의한 195명의 여성을 대상으로 실시하였으며, 신체계측, 체성분검사, 복부 지방분포는 복부지방단층촬영(Fat-CT)을 이용하였다. 그리고 골밀도는 정량적전산화 단층촬영(Q-CT)을 이용하여 측정하였다. 복부지방단층촬영 결과 '피하지방' 76명(39%), '내장지방'은 119명(61%)이었으며, 체질량지수(BMI)는 '저체중($18.5kg/m^2$)'은 13명(6.7%), '과체중($25kg/m^2$이상)'은 60명(30.8%), 평균값은 $23.5{\pm}4.11kg/m^2$이었다. 그리고 허리둘레, 확장기혈압, 수축기혈압, 중성지방에서 유의수준 5%내에서 통계적으로 유의한 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과를 통해 나이가 들수록 근육감소가 복부비만으로 인한 체중 증가를 상쇄시킨다는 점을 알 수 있었고, 따라서 비만에 대한 차후연구에서는 이러한 특성을 이해해야 한다.
