서울지역에 거주하는 체중 감량 시도자의 성별, 연령별 체중 조절 실태

국문 초록 (Abstract)

본 연구는 현재 체중에 대한 인식과 체중 감량 실태를 남녀 각각의 연령에 따른 차이와 성별에 따른 차이를 조사하고자 하였다. 체중 감량 경험이 있는 10～60대의 남녀 각각 60명씩 전체 720명의 대상자들에게 일반사항, 체격, 현재 체중에 대한 인식과 만족 정도와 체중 감량 경험 및 결과를 전화 설문을 통해 조사 분석하였다. 본 연구에서 현재 체중인식과 만족도는 큰 차이를 보여 본인의 체중이 정상이거나 마른 체중이라고 인식함에도 불구하고 전 연령대에서 체중감량을 원하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 체중 감량 실태 조사결과, 연령이 높을수록 체중 감량 시도 횟수가 낮으나 체중감량 후 유지기간이 길었고 남성이 여성에 비하여 이러한 경향이 강하였다. 또한 연령이 높을수록 여러 가지 체중 감량 방법에 대한 만족도가 높고 요요현상을 적게 경험하였고 이러한 경향은 남성에게 강하게 나타났다. 결론적으로, 잘못된 체중 감량 방법에 의해서 희망 체중에 도달하나, 유지기간이 짧고 여러 가지 요요현상을 경험하면서 체중 감량 방법에 대한 만족도도 낮아져 결국 빈번한 체중 감량을 시도하는 악순환을 경험하게 되는 것으로 사료되어진다. 따라서 성별과 연령에 따른 인식과 체중 감량 실태의 차이를 고려하여 개인별 맞춤형 체중 감량을 위한 영양 교육이 필요할 것이라고 사료된다.

Among current health-related problems, the issue of over-weight is considered one of the most important, fostering a national interest in body weight loss. In this study, an awareness of one's current body weight and previous experiences of body weight loss were analyzed according to age and gender. The subjects of the study were 720 people (male: 360 and female: 360) aged 10～60 years with previous experiences of attempting to lose weight 1 year prior to this study. Anthropometrics, general characteristics, awareness of one’s current body weight, and the body weight loss practice were analyzed through a questionnaire. Approximately 73.2% of the subjects recognized themselves as obese, and 83.5% wished to lose weight. The older the subjects were, the frequency of attempting to lose weight was lower, and those who succeeded in losing weight maintained their reduced body weight for a longer period. Compared to male subjects, more female reported attempts of losing weight, but the period of maintaining their reduced weight was shorter. The older subjects reported a higher satisfaction rate of the weight loss methods they used, and few of them gained back the weight they lost. This phenomenon was especially more stronger among male than female subjects. From our studies, it may be concluded that attitudes concerning a person’s current body weight and body weight loss practice vary according to age and gender.
