High-school student’s paper on body image published in national nutrition journal
By Korea HeraldPublished : Sept. 18, 2012 - 20:56
A high-school student had her research work on nutrition published by a local scientific journal.
Nutrition Research and Practice published the paper, which was co-authored by Ro Yoo-na, 18, a student from Dona Hall School in Massachusetts, and professor Hyun Wha-jin from Joongbu University in South Chungcheong Province.
They compared the perception of body image of female high-school students in Korea and China.
Ro, who led the research, conducted a survey of 221 students in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province, and 227 students in Weihai, China, asking questions, such as about dietary habits and diet experiences.
The research found that Korean female students are more concerned about their weight, with some 74 percent respondents in Korea responding that they have been on a diet at least once, while some 52 percent Chinese students reported they have never tried to control their weight.
The study was published in the August issue of the bimonthly magazine published by the Korean Society of Community Nutrition and the Korean Nutrition Society.
