초록

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.
