Popis: 女子学生を対象に、5年間の身体計測及びダイエットと体型意識に関するアンケート調査を行った。1.BMIによる分類では「低体重」者が年々増加し、1999年8.5%から2003年は17.2%であった。2.BMIと体脂肪率は強い相関を示すが、BMI低体重群の91.0%が体脂肪率判定では「普通」に属した。3.女子学生の理想身長は160.9±3.4cm、理想体重48.1±4.3kg、理想BMIは18.6±1.5であり、「やせ気味」体型を理想としている。4.体型の自己評価は、2003年結果で58.4%が「太っている」と評価し、部位別では「お腹」(腹部)に対し、「やや不満」「大変不満」の回答が91.9%であった。また78.0%が改善を希望している。5.ダイエットは6割が経験者で、体重減少を目標とし、目標体重への到達を成功と捉え、リバウンドすることを失敗とする回答が最多であった。6.ダイエット方法は「運動」「食事」単独の方法に比べて「運動+食事」法が効果的で、その体重減少量は平均-4.5~-5.9kgであった。
The results of 5-year questionnaire surveys on physical measurements, perception of body shape and dieting in female students were summarized. In analysis of BMI (Body Mass Index), the percentage of students with low-body weight has increased each year, from 8.5% in 1999 to 17.2% in 2003. While there was a strong correlation between BMI and percent body fat, 91.0% of the students with lowbody weight according to BMI were classified as having average percent body fat. The ideal body shape of female students was as follows: height 160.9±3.4cm, body weight 48.1±4.3kg and BMI 18.6±1.5. These members show that female students tend to believe that a slightly thin body shape is ideal. In 2003, a survey on self-assessment of body shape showed that 58.4% of the respondents felt that they were overweight, especially in the abdomen. In other words, 91.9% of the students stated that they were slightly or very unhappy about their abdomen, and 78.0% of the students wished to have a better abdomen. About 60% of the students surveyed had tried diets to lower their body weight. The most common answer was that a diet is a success if a target body weight is achieved and a failure if the body weight rebounds. When comparing dieting and exercise, dieting combined with exercise was more effective, with the amount of body weight reduction ranging from 4.5 to 5.9kg.
