Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine the association between the Body Mass Index (BMI), weight perception and depression-like symptoms in Korean middle school students. The data was obtained from the 2012 Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-based Survey. The subjects were 37,297 students living in the community. Adjusting for covariates (sex, school year, home economics, city-type, school record, self-reported happiness, self-reported health status, suicidal thinking, smoking, alcohol consumption), the self-reported obesity (OR=1.14, 95% CI: 1.06-1.22) and self-reported underweight (OR=1.11, 95% CI: 1.03-1.20), compared to the self-reported healthy weight, were more likely to have depression-like symptoms. On the other hand, the BMI-based weight was not associated independently with depression-like symptoms. These findings suggest that weight perception is significantly associated with depression-like symptoms.

이 연구에서는 우리나라 중학생의 체질량지수 및 주관적 체형인식과 우울감 경험의 관련성을 파악하였다. 2012년도 청소년 건강행태 온라인 조사에 참여한 중학교 1학년부터 3학년 재학생 37,297명을 분석대상으로 하였다. 비만 및 주관적 체형인식과 우울증의 관련성은 위계적 로지스틱 회귀분석을 이용하여 분석하였다. 연구결과, 자신의 체형이 저체중이라고 인지하는 중학생은 우울감 경험의 관련성이 약 111%(OR=1.11, 95% CI: 1.03-1.20) 더 높았고(p<0.01), 비만으로 인지하는 중학생은 우울감 경험의 관련성이 약 114%(OR=1.14, 95% CI: 1.06-1.22) 더 높았다(p<0.001). 그러나 체질량 지수는 저체중과 비만 모두 우울감 경험과 관련성이 유의미하지 않았다. 이 결과를 근거로 청소년 정신건강의 증진을 위해서 주관적 비만뿐만 아니라 주관적 외소집단의 정서적 문제에도 관심이 요구된다.
