Clin Exp Pediatr. 1998;41(6):785-790.   Published online June 15, 1998
Purpose : The identification of the ob gene and its adipocyte-specific protein leptin has provided the first physiologic links to the regulatory system controlling body weight. In adults, elevations of serum leptin concentrations correlated closely with the percentage of body fat.

Clin Exp Pediatr. 1996;39(6):803-810.   Published online June 15, 1996
Purpose : The childhood obesity is currently increasing. The childhood obesity is difficult to treat and the response of treatment is transitory because it is caused by the hyperplasia of fatcells. The complications of obesity are hyperlipidemia, hypertension, diabetes, artherosclerotic coronary arterial disease and fatty liver. Therefore the early diagnosis and prevention of obesity from childhood is very important. This study...

Clin Exp Pediatr. 1996;39(6):773-779.   Published online June 15, 1996
Purpose : With development of socioeconomic status, the prevelance of adolesecnt obesity, which is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, is increasing. Skinfold and body mass index are indirectly used measurement of obesity in clinical and epidemiologic studies. Triceps skinfold, subscapular skinfold and body mass index were measured in adolescents aged 12 to 17. Percentile values by age and sex and...

Clin Exp Pediatr. 1995;38(11):1547-1557.   Published online November 15, 1995
Purpose : The prevalence of childhood obesity and its attendant morbidity have increased and the success of therapy for childhood obesity has been limited. It is important for us to recognize risk factors for the development of obesity in children. The purpose of our study is to provide useful information for the prevention and treatment of childhood obesity. Methods : A...
