“…Based on BMI, the obesity and obesity plus overweight rates were calculated to be 13.2% and 37.5%, respectively. According to some reports and data released from the Korean Centers for Disease Control, the recent prevalence of general elementary school girls' obesity was 5.5-8.0 % and their obesity plus overweight rate was 17.8-18.2% [13][14][15]. Therefore, we found that, using the BMI method, the obesity plus overweight rate was somewhat higher in girls with earlier pubertal development.…”

Results1. Upon the weight-for-height percentiles, their obesity rate was 9.2% and overweight rate 15.8%. However, upon BMI the result was a little different, that is, their obesity rate is 13.2% and overweight rate is 24.3%. 2. About 40% of the girls had a family history of early maturation. Among them, 25.7% had a maternal history, 4.6% paternal and 7.2% both. However, 60% of them had no family history. 3. We then classified these girls into the families with one daughter and one son and those with two daughters. In one-daughter/one-son families, 65.3% were the first children and 30.8% were seconds. In two-daughters families, 65.3% were the firsts and 34.7% were seconds. 4. We found that 67.5% had a history of taking herbal medicine materials. ConclusionsThe obesity and overweight rate in girls with earlier pubertal development was higher than the age-matched normal females, but with a little discrepancy between weight-for-height percentile and BMI-based data. And, it seems to be possible that herbal medicine materials is a potential factor for earlier pubertal development in Korea.

There are few studies of underweight in adolescents in Korea and other developed countries. According to the recent surveillance in Korea, prevalence of underweight in adolescents is lower than those in developing countries, and higher than those in developed countries in Northern Europe. This article reviews the problems, diagnosis, and nutritional support of underweight in adolescents. 저체중 현황에 대한 해외 보고는 개발도상국 위주로
