Objectives : We intented to know the relations between Waist-to-Hip Ratio(WHR) and the abdominal temperature.
Methods : Among the patients who visited the oriental gynecological department in Conmaul oriental medical hospital from 2002. 10. 10 to 2002. 11. 9. 130 women were selected for this study. We measured the abdominal temperature by D.I.T.I and Waist-to-Hip Ratio(WHR) by Inbody.
Results and Conclusions 1. As WHR was higher, the abdominal temperature became lower. But there was no significant difference between WHR and the abdominal temperature of the abdominal obesity group and the non-abdominal obesity group in the each state. 2. There was significant difference in the abdominal temperature related with the abdominal obesity The abdominal temperature of the non-abdominal obesity group was higer than that of abdominal obesity group. 3. There was significant difference in the WHR according to the age, but no significant difference in the abdominal temperature according to the age. 4. This study showed that the abdominal temperature became lower among the 30-39 year-old women, as WHR was higher.
