Abstract

This study aims to determine the effects of mental health on obesity among Korean adolescents. The data in this study were obtained from the 2013 Korean Youth Health Risk Behavior Web-based Survey conducted in 70,354 adolescents aged twelve to eighteen (35,575 males and 34,779 females) from June 1 to 30, 2013. The variables included age, the economic status of household, academic achievement, health status, perceived happiness, perceived stress, satisfaction of sleeping, perceived depression, and suicidal ideation and the data were processed using t-test, chi square test, and logistic regression analysis. The general characteristics affecting obesity for both Korean male and female adolescents included age (p<0.001), the economic status of households (p<0.001), academic achievement (p<0.001), and health status (p<0.001); the variable of mental health affecting obesity was suicidal ideation among females (p<0.05). It is expected that female adolescents' experience of suicidal ideation can be used as information to predict the likelihood of obesity in managing an obesity program for adolescents and it is necessary to provide obesity education suitable for age and to include obesity guidance in consideration of gender and the economic status.

본 연구는 한국청소년의 정신건강이 비만에 미치는 영향을 파악하고자 하는데 있다. 연구 자료는 2013년 6월 1일부터 6월 30일까지, 12세에서 18세까지의 70,354명 청소년(남학생 35,575명, 여학생 34,779명)을 대상으로 한 2013청소년건강행태온라인조사 자료를 이용하였다. 변수는 연령, 가정의 경제상태, 학업성적, 건강상태, 행복감, 스트레스, 수면충족, 우울감, 자살생각을 사용하였고, 자료는 t-test, chi square test와 로지스틱 회귀분석으로 분석하였다. 한국 청소년 남학생과 여학생 모두의 비만에 영향을 미치는 일반적 특성 변수는 연령(p<0.001), 가정의 경제상태(p<0.001), 학업성적(p<0.001), 건강상태(p<0.001)였으며, 비만에 영향을 미치는 정신건강변수는 여학생의 자살생각(p<0.05)이었다. 청소년 비만 프로그램 운영 시 여학생의 자살생각 경험은 비만 가능성을 예측하는 정보로 이용되어질 수 있을 것이며, 연령에 맞는 비만 교육과 성별 및 경제 상태를 고려한 비만 지도가 포함되어야 할 것이다.
