Adolescent girl students extremely cares about their appearance, as their interest in the opposite sex is growing. Thereupon to be a beauty they wear make-up and do diet.
Owing to the lack of basic knowledge, they do color-toned make up without thinking skin care.
Moreover, because of the trend of the skinny type preference in public, they do too excessive diet.
The purpose of this research is to provide basic materials for school Health Administration through this research on skin care & obesty control of girl students.
The object of this research were the 350 girl students of industrial school in Dae-gu area & Kyong-buk Province. They were chosed by a random sampling and excluded 50 of the unacceptables.
In brief, the result of this research is as below.
1. General Characteristic
The height of 160~164cm students account for 36.3% which is the majority of the object students.
The weight measured by PIBW method showed Underweight Group 32%, Normal Group 53.3%, Overweight Group 10.7%, Obesity Group 4%
2. Skin related Life Style
Judging from that the object students mostly slept 7∼8 hours a day and over 70% of them went to bed at 10∼12 PM, there is no big problem in sleeping hours and bedtime.
It seems that as industrial school girl students they have less burden to enter University.
3. Skin related Characteristic
79.3% of the object students said their skin condition is good. About skin trouble 62.7% said they have skin trouble once in a while. Pimple the highest concern about skin account for 47.7%.
79% said they concern about Skin Health while 64% said they are not satisfied with their skin.
It seems that students have high degree of anticipation about good skin.
4. Skin care related Characteristic
Judging from that the 53% said they wash face twice and 68.7% use cleansing cream,most students do basic treatment.
However, very few uses sunblock, skin food, eye cream. It means they have very little knowledge of functional cosmetic.
5. Diet related Eating Habit.
Low percentage of the object students eat breakfast everyday while they eat the most amount at dinner time and they eat snack at any time.
Underweight Group 60%, Normal Group 51%, Overweight Group 69%, Obesity Group50% of the object students said they have irregular eating habits. That fact has something to do with the result.
6. Diet related Characteristic
About their body shape, Underweight Group 10%, Normal Group 61%, Overweight Group 94%, Obesity Group 100% of the object students said they are fat. Underweight Group 54%, Normal Group 88%, Overweight Group 94%, Obesity Group 66% of the object think they should be slender figured person.
The majority of the object said they don`t work out or they do once a week.
Most of them said they do diet by an exercise cure. The more students said they don`t content with their diet result. About the effect of losing weight many of them said they reduced 1∼3kg.
Regarding diet side effects, the answer "Dizziness" was much but "The others" was much too. This shows that there were various side effects except this.
Let me indicate some porblems according to the research.
The first, we can consider that the students don't have regular eating habit judging from their food quantity a day and cathartic term.
The second, their quantity of exercise is insufficient for the expectation degree.
The third, we take insufficiency of basic knowledge regarding skin-care; the way washing face, basic cosmetics, functional cosmetics and so on.
The fourth, in the research of overweight degree, there were not a lot overweight students out of normal weight but actually the ratio of students on a diet was very high as 64%.
The research shows that the school girls' skin care and obesity control were not serious but with the insufficiency of basic knowledge regarding skin-care, proper skin-care didn't make and in also obesity control, the normal group or even the underweight group is on a diet.
By the school girls' desire of getting slim, they might hurt their health through excessive diet.
So I insist that it's very earnest to teach the basic knowledge for more scientific and systematical skin care and obesity control.
