서울시내 영세민촌 가임여성의 비타민 B2 및 B6 영양상태에 관한 생화학적 연구

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to assess the ribo' flavin and pyridoxine nutritures of Korean women in urban slum area by determinatien of erythrocyte glutathione reductaseCEGR) and aspartate aminotransferase (EAST) activities, and their respective activity coefficients. Subjects were seventy women aged from 16 to 46 years old living in Machendong slum area in Sungdong Gu, Seonl, Korea. The Following results were obtained: 1) The mean of activity coefficient of EGR was I. 76±0. 33 and higher than normal limit O. 69: Tchai, 1977) of activity coefficient. Forty one wemen (59%) out of seventy subjects showed higher activity coefficient than normal limit of activity coefficient. 2) The mean of activity coefficient of EAST was 2. 14±0. 47 and within the normal limit (2. 37: Tchai, 1977) of activity coefficient. Nineteen women (27%) showed higher activity coefficient than normal limit of activity coefficient. 3) The number of subjects having a higher activity cocfficient in both of EGR and EAST than normal limit of activity coefficient was fourteen (20%), and it may be suggested that most women showing a poor vitamin B6 nutriture are also under the situation of Vitamin Bz deficiency. 4) The means of activity coefficient in EGR among below-zu-years old group, and among above-So-years old group were considerablly lower than those of the other age groups. But in the means of activity coefficient in EAST, no significant differences were noticed among the varying age groups. 5) Among the seventy women, one case of angular stomatitis was observed during the clinical examination.
