Abstract

Purpose: Regarding the rapid growth of the obesity in Korea's youths, environmental factors as well as biological tendencies have been major focus of years of study. Methods: This study, as a secondary analysis research, bases its source upon the raw data from the 13th on-line survey of the Korean adolescents' health behaviors. In particular, it is a descriptive research for clarifying the relevance of the Korean youths' smart phone use with their health behaviors and obesity. Results: In logistic analysis, variables showing a significant difference are as follows: soft drinks frequency(p<.001), sweet drinks intake frequency(p<.001), fast food intake frequency(p<.001) and smoking status (p=.005). Based on the amount of time the teenagers using smart phones, there have been different results in the risk of obesity. Four to six hours a week of smart phone use (p=.002) has a 1.132 times higher risk, six to eight hours(p<.001) are 1.212 times higher, over eight hours(p=.020) are 1.132 times higher, than less than two hours'. Conclusion: This study has significance in that it has emphasized the new lifestyle, teenagers' smart phone use, as an additional important factor for the increased risk of obesity.
