체성분, 영양소 섭취상태 및 생화학적 지표가 민감성 피부 여대생의 피부건강상태에 미치는 영향

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the efects that body composition, nutrient intake, and biochemical indiceshave on skin status, as well as their associations with skin health status, by assessing 4 female university students. Thesubjects were clasified into 3 groups according to skin sensitivity: sensitive skin (n=11), slightly sensitive skin (n=24), andevaluations, blood chemical analyses, and skin health status assessments. Based on % body fat, the results indicated thesubjects were moderately obese (29.6%). Obesity indices were not different among the groups, but the sensitive skin grouptended to have higher skinfold thickness. Dry skin was determined as the skin type of all subjects. In the sensitive skin groups,U-zone and T-zone sebum were significantly lower (p<0.05), and spots were significantly higher (p<0.05) than in thevitamins A and E (p<0.05). There were no significant differences in serum lipid fractions or total antioxidant status amongthe groups. In correlation coefficients analysis, skin elasticity had significant negative correlations with subscapular andmidaxillary skinfold thicknes, body protein, and body minerals (p<0.05). Wrinkling had positive correlations with tricepsand thigh skinfold thickness (p<0.05). Skin eveness had negative correlations with energy intake, vitamins A, B1, B2, C,E, niacin, and zinc (p<0.05), as well as folate and P (p<0.01) and vitamin B6 (p<0.001). A similar corelation tendencywas observed for spots and nutrient intake, showing negative corelations with vitamins A, B6, and E, as well as folate, Fe,and P. U-zone sebum showed significant positive corelations with serum levels of total cholesterol and triglycerides. Fromproper balance betwen dietary intake and body composition may influence skin health status in females with sensitive skin.
