Abstract

The purpose was to examine the association between healthy weight and physical activity, screen time, and nutrition based on community characteristics in mountainous region. The sample consisted 1,620 middle school students in West Virginia, the United States. A logistic regression and in-depth interview were conducted. Moderate to Vigorous Physical Activity and consumption of vegetables and fruits were associated with healthy weight, while screen time was not associated with healthy weight. Regional limitations may cause that students had too much exposure to screen time and should be minimized by using school facilities during weekend. In particular, schools need to provide regular health seminars and parents education to overcome regional isolation and slow internet speed. Therefore, it suggests the cooperation between schools and parents may be required in order for students to be healthy in mountainous region.

본 연구의 목적은 산악지역에 거주하는 중학생들의 신체활동, 화면시청시간, 영양섭취가 건강 체중에 영향을 미치는 지를 지역적 특성을 바탕으로 분석하기 위한 것이다. 참여자는 미국 애팔래치아 산악지역 1,620명의 중학생들이며 로지스틱 회귀분석 결과에 따라 5명을 대상으로 심층면담이 실시되었다. 연구 결과 신체활동과 영양섭취는 건강 체중에 유의한 영향을 끼쳤으나 화면시청시간은 유의한 결과가 나타나지 않았다. 이는 지역적 특징으로 인해 건강한 학생 또한 화면 시청에 자주 노출되어 있기 때문이었다. 지역적 특징을 고려했을 때 학교시설물의 주말이용이 필요하며 특히 지역적 고립과 느린 인터넷으로 인해 정보공유가 원활히 되지 않는 점을 보완하기 위하여 학교의 정기적인 건강관련 세미나 및 부모 교육을 정규 교육과정으로 포함시키는 방안도 고려할 필요가 있다. 그러므로 비만해결을 위한 학생들의 올바른 행동변화를 위해서는 학교 및 가정의 협력체계가 동시에 이루어져야 할 것이다.
