Abstract

This study examined the sociodemographic and anthropometric data, health-related habits, physical activity, and scores of the Korean Healthy Eating Index according to the obesity of youths aged 19~39 years. Among the subjects of the 2020~2021 Korean National Health and Examination Survey, 2,954 were analyzed. Statistical analyses were used for complex samples using the SPSS software package. The marital status (P<0.001) and economic activity status (P<0.01) of male youth (MY) and the household income level (P<0.01), education level (P<0.01), and economic activity status (P<0.05) of female youth (FY) showed significant differences according to obesity. In MY and FY, age (P<0.001), perceived health status (P<0.001), self-recognized body image (P<0.001), weight change (P<0.001), and weight control (P<0.001) showed significant differences according to the obesity. The prevalence of hypertension (P<0.001), diabetes (P<0.001), hypertriglyceridemia (P<0.001), and hypercholesterolemia (MY P<0.05, FY P<0.001) in MY and FY showed significant differences according to obesity. In MY, the obese group performed higher leisure-related medium-intensity physical activity (P<0.05) than the control group. In FY, the obese group had more stress (P<0.01), lower scores of total fruit intake (P<0.01), fresh fruit intake (P<0.01), and milk and milk products intake (P<0.05) and higher scores of percentages of energy from saturated fatty acid (P<0.05) and total sugar (P<0.05) than the control group. Therefore, the factors associated with obesity in youth differ according to sex, and health promotion programs specified by sex are needed to prevent youth obesity effectively.
