Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to identify influencing factors of subjective health status perception of obese college students. Methods: We used the data from the 2015 Community Health Survey. The subjects of this study included 951 obese college students. The data were analyzed using t-test, ANOVA and multiple linear regression with SPSS ver. 23. Results: The average score of subjective health status was $3.81{\pm}0.81$. Gender, age, residential area, stress and depression were found to be the influencing factors of subjective health status perception and explained 6.7% of the subjective health status. Conclusion: These findings indicate that effective intervention programs are needed to help obese college students correctly recognize their subjective health status and manage stress and depression.
