“…Interestingly, findings from our study demonstrate that almost 30% of elementary and middle school students in Chungju city measured above the 85th percentile of BMI. This result was much larger proportion than the known value of almost 20% for 2 previous studies based on Korea Nutrition Examination survey from 10–19 and 12–19 years of age group 25 26) , but a similar rate compared to a few studies from elementary school 4th grade students alone (32.8% in male, 24.7% in female) 27) and middle school 1st grade male students alone (26.4%) 28) . Because of the different ranges of sex and age and diagnostic criteria for obesity used in these studies, cross-comparison would be challenging.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships of physical fitness and obesity with metabolic risk factors in children and adolescents.MethodsThis cohort study was conducted in Chungju city, South Korea. Total 843 subjects were enrolled, including 193 elementary school 4th grade male (E4M), 189 elementary school 4th grade female (E4F) and 461 male-middle school students (M1M). The subjects were also classified into 2 groups by body mass index; normal weight (NW) group and overweight included obesity (OW/OB) group. Physical fitness was measured by shuttle run (cardiorespiratory fitness, CRF), sit and reach (flexibility), handgrip strength (muscular strength) and stand long jump (agility).ResultsThe prevalence of OW/OB was respectively 33.7% (65 of 193) among E4M, 28.6% (54 of 189) among E4F, and 28.0% (129 of 461) among M1M. Hematocrit, white blood cell, triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein, insulin, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance, systolic and diastolic blood pressure were higher, while high-density lipoprotein were lower in the OW/OB group than in the NW group. The OW/OB group presented significantly lower CRF (P<0.01) and lower agility, but higher muscular strength compared with NW group. CRF was negatively correlated with obesity indices and metabolic risk factors. After adjustments for potential confounders, odds ratios for 4th–5th grade CRF of OW/OB compared NW in the E4M, E4F, M1M, were 7.38 (95 % CI, 3.24–16.83), 4.10 (95% CI, 1.83–9.18), 16.06 (95% CI, 8.23–31.00) (P<0.01).ConclusionOur study has shown that CRF has negative correlation with OW/OB in children and adolescents of Chungju city. We suggest that improvement of CRF through regular physical activity would be an important method for reducing the metabolic risks of childhood obesity.

“…Here, Jung et al reported that more than half (59.2%) of Korean acne patients had a double cleaning routine after the use of colored cosmetics. 7 Some studies indicate that it is better to do double cleansing in order not to leave any cosmetic waste or residue on the face, 14 while others say that excessive cleansing can make acne worse by drying and irritating the skin. In this study, double cleansing was more common in treatment‐failure patients.…”

“…The most common method for colored cosmetics removal is to wipe face first with an oil-based cleanser, then immediately wash again with a water-based cleanser. Here, Jung et al reported that more than half (59.2%) of Korean acne patients had a doublecleaning routine after the use of colored cosmetics 7. Some studies indicate that it is better to do double cleansing in order not to leave any cosmetic waste or residue on the face,14 while others say that excessive cleansing can make acne worse by drying and irritating the skin.…”

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the dietary quality of Korean females according to BMI, using the Korea National Health and Examination Survey data (KNHANES V-1). The study incorporated an individual-based, one-on-one interview with a cohort of 3,552 Korean females, including underweight, obese, and normal subjects, based on BMI calculation from 8,958 samples throughout the country. In this study, BMI between 18.5 and 25 was considered as normal, < 18.5 as underweight, and ≥ 25 as obese. We classified the subjects into three groups: the underweight group (n = 206), normal group (n = 2,353) and obese group (n = 993). The result of analysis of nutrient intake was a percentage of Korean RNI. Overall, calcium intake tended to be lower for groups with lower BMI. The result of dietary quality are as follows: For NAR analysis, all groups showed a less than 1.0 for all nutrient levels. In particular, with respect to calcium, all groups showed to have a lower NAR score than that of other nutrients; this was also the case for the Vitamin A. The average NAR score was 0.76 in the underweight group, 0.83 in the normal group, and 0.78 in the obese group. The results suggest the necessity of obesity-related nutritional education programs in Korea, particularly for Korean women.
