Abstract

Obesity is a risk factor for various diseases as well as itself a disease and associated with socioeconomic factors. The obesity proportion has been increasing in Korea over about 15 years so that investigation of the socioeconomic factors related with obesity is important in terms of preventation of obesity. In particular, the association between obesity and socioeconomic status varies with gender and has spatial dependency. In the paper, we estimate the effects of socioeconomic factors on obesity proportion by gender, considering the spatial correlation. Here, a conditional autoregressive model under the Bayesian framework is used in order to take into account the spatial dependency. For the real applicaiton, we use the obestiy proportion dataset at 25 districts of Seoul in 2010. We compare the proposed spatial model with a non-spatial model in terms of the goodness-of-fit and prediction measures so the spatial model performs well.

비만은 그 자체가 질병이면서 다른 질병의 위험인자로 사회경제학적 요인과 관련성이 높다. 급증한 국내 비만인구에 대한 사회적 차원에서의 예방을 위하여 비만과 연관성이 있는 사회경제적 요인을 파악하는 것이 중요하다. 특히, 비만과 사회경제학적 요인간의 연관성은 성별에 따라 상이할 수 있으며 지역적 변동성 역시 존재한다. 본 논문에서는 공간적 상관성을 고려하여 비만율에 영향을 미치는 사회경제적 요인의 효과를 성별에 따라 추정하고자 한다. 공간적 상관성을 설명하기 위하여 베이지안 접근법을 기반으로 한 조건부 자기회귀모형을 고려하였다. 실증예제로 2010년 서울시 25개 자치구별 비만율 자료에 대하여 제안한 공간 모형과 공간적 상관성을 고려하지 않은 모형을 적합시켜본 결과, 공간적 상관성을 고려한 모형이 모형의 적합도와 예측력 측면에서 더 우수함을 알 수 있었다.
