Diet and lifestyle factors affecting obesity: a Korea National Health and Nutrition Survey analysis.

摘要

Data from the 2008 Korea National Health and Nutrition Survey were analysed statistically to determine the relative importance of causes of obesity. As factors affecting obesity for males and females were markedly different, binary choice logistic models of males and females were built and estimated separately. Results showed that stress, irregularity of eating breakfast and frequency of eating out had the greatest impact on male obesity, whereas stress, employment status and age had the greatest impacts on female obesity.
