Abstract

This convergence study investigated the differences in obesity, depression, and quality of life of unmarried adults who ate alone. Secondary data from the 7th National Health-Nutrition Survey in Korea was analyzed using the SPSS 24.0 program. We utilized data from 344 unmarried adults who received three meals per day. Our results showed that the rate of eating-alone was higher in the group with participants who were over 30-year-old, belonged to single-person households, and had low incomes. The group which ate alone had high depression scores and low quality of life scores. When developing a health promotion program, it is necessary to manage depression and quality of life of persons who eat alone and belong to single-person households.

본 연구의 목적은 미혼 성인의 혼밥 유무에 따른 비만, 우울과 삶의 질 차이를 융합적으로 파악하는 것이다. 본 연구의 설계는 국민건강영양조사 제 7기 1차 년도의 자료를 활용한 2차 분석연구로, 연구대상은 미혼 성인이면서 세 끼 모두 식사하는 344명이다. 자료 분석은 SPSS 24.0 프로그램을 이용하여 빈도와 백분율, t-test, 교차분석으로 분석하였다. 연구결과, 1인 가구와 연령이 30세 이상과 소득수준이 낮은 군에서 혼밥 비율이 유의하게 높았다. 혼밥 집단이 동반 식사 집단보다 우울 점수가 높고 삶의 질이 낮았다. 본 연구는 향후 건강증진 프로그램 개발을 위한 기초자료를 마련하였다고 할 수 있다. 따라서 지속적으로 증가하고 있는 혼밥과 1인 가구를 대상으로 건강증진 프로그램을 개발할 때에는 우울과 삶의 질을 관리하는 것이 필요하다.
