Abstract
This study is to investigate the effects of demographic characteristics and lifestyles on obesity in the community. The nurse measured the obesity level of 143 residents living in one apartment in Seoul, Korea. Demographics and lifestyles were analyzed by frequency and percentage and obesity level was analyzed by logistic regression analysis. In particular, as the age increases, the probability of obesity increases by 1.109 times. These results show that the development and application of community health promotion programs for obesity are important. Through this study, we discovered that obesity is significantly related to the demographic characteristics and lifestyles of the individual. And also, it is expected that these findings will be used as the basic information to plan a tailored obesity program taking into account local community environment and personal characteristics.
