This study aimed to explore the association between obesity index and heart rate variability (HRV) in college-aged male smokers. A total of 85 male college students (> 10 cigarettes per day for at least 3 years) were participated in this study. According to a standardized protocol, body mass index (BMI), percent body fat (%BF), waist circumference (WC), and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) were taken as obesity indices. Resting r-r interval was monitored for HRV analysis as an indicator of cardiac autonomic regulation. Compared with low WHR subjects, high WHR subjects had significantly lower values of rMSSD, pNN50, HF, and SD1, suggesting decreased parasympathetic activity. No such differences in LF/HF ratio were found between the WHR-based subgroups. Bivariate correlation analysis showed that obesity indices of WC, WHR, and %BF were significantly associated with rMSSD, pNN50, HF, and SD1, with a tendency for correlation coefficient to be higher with WHR than with WC or %BF. No significant association was found between BMI and HRV parameters indicative of parasympathetic activity. This study suggest that central obesity is significantly associated with decrease in parasympathetic activation, independent of BMI as an indicator of obesity, in male college smokers.

A total of 5,597 Korean subjects aged 20-64 years were analyzed using the KNHANES 2013-2015. Among the subjects, 41.1% of males and 5.5% of females were smokers, and risk of developing metabolic syndrome in smokers was significantly increased in men with age, alcohol, physical activity, obesity, and sleep(aOR 1.785, 95% CI 1.004-3.174), whereas it was not significantly higher in women. As a result of analyzing the difference of average nutrient intake according to smoking and metabolic syndrome, the energy, retinol and vitamin C intake were significant when age and gender were corrected in the smoker and metabolic syndrome group. In this study, we found that smoking behavior and metabolic syndrome were related to nutrient intake which requires a national level of lifestyle intervention for the prevention and management of metabolic syndrome.

Background : This study investigated and analyzed the life style of male white- collar workers and their perception of obesity to determine how to improve eating habits and prevent obesity. Materials and Methods : Using the questionnaires distributed to and collected from 300 male white-collar workers in Daegu, the survey was conducted from December 20, 2005 to February 28, 2006. Two hundred sets of collected questionnaires were used for the analysis, and SPSS WIN 12.0 was employed to analyze the data. Results : Forty-two percent of subjects had weights ranging between 71 kg and 80 kg; 39.5%, weighted between 61 kg and 70 kg. The waist measurements of 64.5% of all respondents were between 32 and 34 inches. The lifestyle questions found that 54% of respondents were smokers and 88.5% drank alcohol. In addition, 62.5% of all respondents reported doing exercise, whereas 37.5% reported no exercise. Conclusion : The height and weight of 200 respondents were used to calculate the body mass index (BMI). Only 31.6% had a normal BMI, whereas 32% were found to be overweight, a condition likely to lead to obesity. Meanwhile, 36.5% of respondents were obese or morbidly obese.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of adolescent health behavior on obesity using an online health behavior survey. The subjects of this study were 12,090 middle school students and 14,248 high school students among 26,338 Korean youths that responded to an online survey of youth health behaviors in 2018 (14th). There were significant differences in lifestyle, mental factors, exercise habits, and sitting habits as health behavior factors. The risk of obesity was higher in smokers (p<0.001), drinkers (p<0.001), those who ate breakfast less than four times a week (p<0.001), those who consumed fruit less than four times a week (p<0.001) and those who ate fast food less than two times a week (p<0.001). The obesity rate was higher in people with high-stress (p<0.05). Exercise habit as a factor was higher in the obesity rate than in physical activity by three times as much (p<0.001), whereas students categorized as muscular (p<0.01) had one to two times more physical activity (p<0.001). Students who had less than six hours of learning purpose were found to have higher obesity rates than those with more than six hours of learning purpose (p<0.001). In conclusion, the obesity rate did not increase with prolonged sitting habits, but did increase with longer sitting time except for those who studied purpose folly. Therefore, it is necessary to have a set time for internet use, as well as to educate schools about proper lifestyle, and to promote healthy exercise habits.

This study was conducted to explore the effect of health behavior and obesity indices on blood pressure(BP) in 20s men. This was a retrospective exploratory study and the subjects were 214 men who participated in screening test for clinical trial at a tertiary hospital between October 2006 and April 2011. The proportion of normal SBP and DBP was 28.5% and 50.0%, respectively. BP was significantly higher in individuals who were hypertriglyceridemia and hypercholesterolemia than BP in subjects of opposing categories. DBP was significantly higher in individuals who were 25~29 years and smokers than DBP in subjects of opposing categories. The significant factors of increasing SBP were BMI and TG, and those for DBP were TC, TG, age, and smoking amount. In conclusion, these results demonstrate hypertention prevention program to include decreasing intake of TC and TG, maintaining normal BMI and quitting smoking needs to the young men in 20s.

The aim of this study was to investigate the combined effects of aerobic training and diacylglycerol ingestion on lipid profiles and resting metabolic rate changes in obese men. The subjects were divided into 3 groups: the Diacylglycerol group (D, n=6), aerobic training group (E, n=6), and diacylglycerol ingestion and aerobic training group (DE, n=6). Diacylglycerol was ingested and aerobic exercise training performed for 12 weeks. The information from the research was calculated through a Windows SPSS/PC+ Ver. 12.0K statistics package to standardize the means and deviations for each group. Then, two-way repeated measures ANOVA was used to evaluate the research hypothesis. Percent body fat, blood lipid profiles and resting metabolic rate changes were tested to evaluate the combined effect of aerobic exercise training and diacylglycerol ingestion. The results of this study were as follows; DG ingestion was shown to have a positive effect on body weight and body fat, while having a negative effect on resting metabolic rate changes. However, aerobic training was shown to have a positive effect on all factors including body weight, body fat, and resting metabolic rate. In conclusion, DG ingestion and exercise training were not shown to have synergistic effects on resting metabolic rate changes, percent body fat and lipid profiles, while aerobic exercise training was shown to have a positive effect on resting metabolic rate changes, percent body fat, and lipid profiles. To investigate the therapeutic effect of DG ingestion and aerobic exercise for obese men, analysis of catecholamine, cAMP, HSL, or insulin sensitivity should be considered.
