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.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the influences of adolescents on self-rated health and happiness, physical activity, and mental health according to time of smartphone use. The researcher used raw data from the Korea youth risk-behavior web-based survey(2017). A total of 64,991 adolescents were enrolled and 54,603 were analyzed in logistic regression analysis. The researcher set gender, self-rated health and happiness, physical activity, and mental health as independent variables and performed logistic regression analysis with smartphone overuse time as dependent variables. As a result, the female had a smartphone overuse of 1.49 to 1.67 times higher than male. Subjectively healthy people were 1.2 to 1.35 times more likely to use smartphones than those who did not(p<.001). People with higher physical activity were higher by 1.17 to 1.18 times than people without physical activity(p<.001). Subjective happiness did not predict smartphone usage(p>.05). People with subjective stress were higher 1.13 to 1.22 times than people without stress, and person with sadness and despair and suicide plan, 1.37 to 1.54 times, 1.17 to 1.24 times than those who did not(p<.001). Depression tended to become more serious as smartphone use increased. These investigation suggest that the self-rated health, physical activity, and mental health excluding self-rated happiness are related to overuse of smartphone.

목적: 본 연구는 한국 청소년의 가정환경, 건강행태, 심리적 요인 및 식습관 요인에 따른 주관적 건강상태의 차이를 분석하고, 주요 관련요인을 파악하고자 수행되었다. 방법: 분석자료로서 2015~2016년도 한국 청소년 건강행태 온라인조사 자료를 이용하였으며, 분석대상자 수는 중학생 53,791명, 고등학생 50,959명, 총 104,750명이었다. 학생들의 건강수준은 주관적 건강상태를 기준으로 건강집단과 비건강집단으로 구분하였다. 건강수준에 영향을 미치는 요인으로서 성별, 가정환경, 건강행태, 심리적 요인 및 식습관이 검토되었다. 이들 요인 간 건강집단과 비건강집단의 비율차이 검증을 위해 표본설계 정보를 반영한 Rao-scott 카이제곱검정을 실시하였다. 또한 주관적 건강수준에 영향을 주는 요인을 알아보고자 로지스틱회귀분석을 실시하였다. 결과 및 결론: 주관적 건강수준은 양친부모와 살지 않은 경우, 모의 교육수준이 낮을 때, 주관적 가정경제수준이 낮을수록 낮았다. 음주군, 고강도운동이나 근력운동을 실천하지 않는 군, 과체중이나 비만인군에서 주관적 건강수준이 낮았다. 또한 스트레스나 우울감 등 부정적인 감정이나 행복감을 느끼지 못할 때도 주관적 건강수준은 낮았다. 아침을 결식하거나 탄산음료, 고카페인음료, 패스트푸드 등의 비건강식품을 자주 섭취하는 군에서도 주관적 건강수준은 낮은 것으로 관찰되었다. 한국 청소년들에게서 건강 불평등(health inequalities)은 가정환경, 건강행태, 심리적 요인, 식습관 등 여러 요인들로부터 제기되는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 요인들을 충분히 반영하여 청소년들이 건강해 질 수 있는 다각적 접근 방안이 모색되어야 할 것이다.

Thepurpose of this study was to provide a basic data health plan & education program for adolescents by examining the recent 3 year Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-based Survey data obtained in 2013, 2014 and 2015. The data was analyzed with theSPSS 18.0 statistical program using the t-test and cross-analysis. After confirming the drinking habits of teenagers in Korea, the issue was slightly lower in the issue of problem drinking. However, the first time for drinking alcohol was the 2nd grade of middle school(21.5%) and the average alcohol intake was 20 to 29 days(3.8%) and usually consisted ofmore than two bottles (12.2%)s. Also, the method of buying liquor was found to be mainly at convenience stores(32%), and the adolescents werefound not to have been trained for drinking(52%). As a result of comparing the general characteristics of these items, it was found that there was a significant difference between the coeducation type, the high school type, the trace in the residence type, and the 'middle-high level' in terms of the socio-economic level.When comparing the results of the drinking behavior during these three years, the outcome of the trend is still noteworthy, as health education for drinking alcohol is still important, and attention needs to be paid to this problem.
