Abstract

Methods: Accordingly, 2001 Korean National Health and Nutrition Survey was performed during a two month period beginning November $1^{st}$, 2001. Questionnaires on physical activities have been completed by 9,170 persons (88.45%) among 10,368 persons over 12 years old. We analyzed 7,838 subjects who were over 20 years old. Results: Among the total, 71.8% persons of the respondents did not work out at all. Among them, 14.9% respondents were classified as lower exercise group, 6.9% middle exercise group and 6.4% as higher exercise group. The number of middle and higher exercise groups were increased on 2001 survey compared to those in 1998. Daily walking hours were 65.8$\pm$73.6 minutes. A proper amount of exercise were performed by older age groups than those in their twenties, by town residents than villagers, by unmarried people than married or divorced or bereaved ones, by higher educated people, by people with more weight, by those who were felt less stress, and by non drinkers. Favorite exercises were walking, mountaineering, jogging and working out at a fitness club which were chosen by 62.6% of the respondents. Conclusion: Many respondents did not work out at all and overall exercise rate was low. The rate of proper exercise was different by demographic features.

연구 배경: 운동은 국민 건강 향상에 필수적이므로 국민의 운동실천율을 적절하게 향상시킬 필요가 있다. 이를 위해서 는 현재 운동실천율을 파악할 필요가 있다. 방법: 2001년 국민건강영양조사 자료를 이용하였다. 운동에 관한 조사는 설문조사로 12세 이상 인구 총 10,368명에 대해 시행하였고, 이중 88.45%인 9,170명이 조사가 완료되었다. 본 연구는 이중 20세 이상 인구 7,838명을 대상으로 분석하였다. 결과: 비운동군 71.8%, 낮은 운동량 14.9%, 중간 운동량 6.9%, 높은 운동량 6.4%였다. 1998년에 비해 2001년에는 비운동군과 낮은 운동량군이 조금 줄고 중간 및 높은 운동량 군이 조금 늘었다. 출퇴근 포함 평소 하루 걷는 시간은 65.8$\pm$73.6분이었다. 적절한 운동은 20대에 비해 30대 이상 모든 연령군이, 시골보다 도시 지역에서, 유배우자와 기타보다 미혼이, 교육 수준이 높은 경우, 체중이 늘수록, 스트레스가 거의 없다고 느끼는 군에서, 현재 음주자보다 비음주자가 더 많이 실시하고 있었다. 운동 종류는 걷기, 등산, 조깅, 헬스 등을 선호하는데 20세 이상 운동하는 사람의 62.6%가 시행하고 있었다. 결론: 비운동군이 71.8%로 운동실천율이 높지 않고 인구학적 특성에 따라 다르게 나타났다.
