Abstract

This study examined the factors affecting the underweight of Korean adolescents using data from Korea youth risk behavior web-based survey, which are national health statistics. This is a second data analysis study using the 13th Korea youth risk behavior web-based survey. The subjects were 48,242 adolescents who range from the first-year middle school students to the third-year high school students. The measurement variables were classified into demographic, physical activity, dietary, and mental health characteristics. The collected data were analyzed by logistic regression analysis. The factors affecting the underweight of Korean adolescents were sex, school type, academic performance, economic level, physical activities, weight control efforts, ramen intake, confectionary intake, stress, and subjective sleep fulfillment rate. Based on the results of this study, we need to search for the measures to help underweight adolescents recover their proper weight.

본 연구는 한국 청소년의 저체중에 영향을 미치는 요인을 확인하기 위하여 제 13차 청소년건강행태온라인조사 자료를 활용하여 시행된 이차 자료 분석 연구이다. 연구 대상자는 중학교 1학년부터 고등학교 3학년까지 청소년 48,242명이었다. 측정변수는 인구사회학적 특성, 신체활동 특성, 식이 특성 및 정신건강 특성을 조사하였다. 수집된 자료는 로지스틱 회귀분석으로 분석하였다. 본 연구 결과, 전체 청소년 중 5.9%가 저체중이었다. 우리나라 청소년의 저체중에 영향을 미치는 요인은 성별, 학교유형, 학업성적, 경제수준, 신체활동, 체중조절 노력, 라면 섭취, 과자 섭취, 스트레스 및 주관적 수면 충족률이었다. 한국 청소년의 저체중은 여성인 경우, 남녀공학인 경우, 학업 성적과 경제수준이 낮은 경우, 신체활동을 하지 않는 경우, 체중 증가를 노력하는 경우, 라면이나 과자를 섭취하는 경우, 스트레스가 있는 경우 및 주관적 수면 충족률이 충분한 경우에 증가하였다. 본 연구결과를 바탕으로 저체중 청소년이 적정 체중을 유지할 수 있는 방안을 모색하는 것이 요구된다.
