여성무용수의 경력에 따른 BMI, BMD, Eating Disorder 연구

Abstract

This study was conducted to examine bone mineral density, body mass index and eating disorder of female dancers based on the career. Bone density measurement(Osteosys Co. Ltd., SONOST-2000, KOREA), 6 questions – organization, dance career, age, height, weight, menstrual regularity - and Anorexia Bulimia Inventory questionnaire were conducted on 142 amateur female dancers and 134 professional female dancers. Statistical analysis was conducted using two sample t-tests and multiple correlation analysis. All Statistical procedures were performed by SPSS(Ver. 23.0) windows. There were significant differences p<.05. As a result of the T-tests of the two female dancers groups, there were significant differences in career(t=16.842), removal behavior(t=2.002), and body sensitivity(t=3.236) (p<.05). As a result of multiple correlation analysis, for amateur female dancers, there were significant positive correlations between bone mineral density and removal behavior(r=.212), between body sensitivity and binge eating behavior(r=.314) and between body sensitivity and anxiety(r=.243)(p<.05). For professional female dancers, there were significant positive correlations between body mass index and removal behavior(r=.173) and between body mass index and body sensitivity(r=.196)(p<.05). The health education program for female dancers should be emphasized on the perception of the correlation between the career and the body of dancers.
