외식과 비만간의 관련성에 관한 연구

Abstract

Objective: With the development of the group catering and dining industry, it has become a common society where people eat out not only for lunch and dinner but also for breakfast. Due to this social phenomenon, the frequency of dining out is increasing continuously. And as the issue of nutrition and obesity has emerged, eating out and obesity are increasing together. In this study, we would like to find out the impact of eating out annually, practicing healthy life, and obesity, and to find out the link between eating out and obesity. Methods: This study used the 2018 Community Health Survey and extracted only the data from the region that selected the 'Annual Frequency of Eating Outings' survey item. The final study targets are 47,213 people, except for data that refused to measure height and weight in relation to obesity, a dependent variable of this study. The statistical processing was analyzed with non-weighted adjustments for analysis using IBM SPSS statistics ver. 24.0 and the statistical significance level was tested with a setting of 0.05. Results: The general characteristics of whether or not to eat out in this study were 58.4%p higher than those who do not eat out. The risk of obesity for eating out was lower for those who did not eat out than for those who ate out, The higher the annual rate of eating out, the higher the risk of obesity compared to those who do not eat out. The health practices index score based on eating out was –0.72 as a result of the regression coefficient, and the higher the eating out status, the lower the health practices index score. According to an analysis of the risk of obesity due to practice of healthy living, the higher the score of practice of healthy living, the lower the risk of obesity. Conclusion: As a result of this study, eating out will not only have a direct impact on obesity, but also have a negative impact on obesity through poor health behaviors. Eating out is becoming more common, and health interest is increasing together. Further research requires discussions to continue to study the relationship between eating out and obesity.
