It has been well established that health status and physical growth and development of individual are influenced by heredity and environmental conditions. The degree and way of their influencing, however, are likely to be variant according to such various conditions as day, region, nation and so on. Thus, this study was designed to investigate how and how much the environmental conditions may influence to them in childhood and youth of present Korean girl.
Six hundred and two high school girls who are living in Seoul participated primarily in this study, and their longitudinal data of 4 anthropometric measures and 6 motor ability measures were collected from their health and physical fitness examination records from 6 through 17 years old. Their health status, socio-economical conditions, daily practice of physical activities and daily meal habit were surveyed by questionnaire when the subjects were junior in senior high school 1988. Then, the relationships of health status, physical growth and motor ability development as dependent variables with socio-economical conditions, daily practice of physical activities and daily meal habit as independent variables were investigated by correlation, multiple correlation and canonical correlation analysis procedures. Then, socio-economical conditions and daily practice of physical activities showed more significant contribution to their health status and physical growth and development than daily meal habit, although their degrees of contribution were not so high but significant statistically.
