Purpose : This study was carried out to compare actual obesity rate, body shape perception and weight control between outpatients visiting obesity center and general population in the $20{sim}30$ age bracket. Methods : The respondents were 72 females including 38 outpatients and 34 general population in the $20{sim}30$ age bracket. We compared the results of the questionnaires about body shape, obesity and weight control between two groups. Data were analyzed by Student T-test and Chi-square test. Results : In questionnaire survey results, the average BMI, obesity rate, body shape distortion of the respondents who have normal weight, concern for weight control in outpatients group were significantly higher than general population group. Satisfaction on weight control in distorted group was lower than undistorted group. Conclusion : A distortion of the body shape caused unsatisfaction on weight control and it was significantly high in outpatients group, especially among the respondents who have normal weight. It is considered that the distortion of the body shape should be corrected by counselling for proper treatment.
