  • The prevalence of childhood and adolescent obesity has increased and exacerbated during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, both in Korea and globally. Childhood and adolescent obesity poses significant risks for premature morbidity and mortality. The development of serious comorbidities depends not only on the duration of obesity but also on the age of onset. Obesity in children and adolescents affects almost all organ systems, including the endocrine, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, reproductive, nervous, and immune systems. Obesity in children and adolescents affects growth, cognitive function, and psychosocial interactions during development, in addition to aggravating known adult comorbidities such as type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, dyslipidemia, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, obstructive sleep apnea, and cancer. Childhood and adolescent obesity are highly associated with increased cardiometabolic risk factors and prevalence of metabolic syndrome. The risk of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases in later life can be considerably decreased by even a small weight loss before the onset of puberty. Childhood and adolescent obesity is a disease that requires treatment and is associated with many comorbidities and disease burdens. Therefore, early detection and therapeutic intervention are crucial.

  • Aim of this study was to determine if obesity or abdominal obesity is more prevalent in persons with allergic rhinitis compared with healthy persons and to determine if obesity or abdominal obesity affects severity of rhinitis's symptoms. We studied 44 allergic rhinitic patients and 47 healthy persons. BMI and WHR were measured by the In-body 520. And severity of rhinitis's symptoms were assessed by questionnaires. The prevalence of obesity in allergic rhinitis group(27.3%) was significantly higher than control group(10.6%). And the prevalence of abdominal obesity in allergic rhinitis group(43.2%) was higher than control group(40.4%), but was not statistically significant. Nasal obstruction score of obesity group was higher than control group, but was not statistically significant. And nasal obstruction, Korean Allergic Rhinitis Specific Quality of Life Questionnaire (KARQLQ) score of abdominal obesity group were significantly higher than control group. And when age and sex are corrected, allergic rhinitis and obesity's association was statistically significant. The prevalence of obesity in allergic rhinitis group was significantly higher than control group. Also when age and sex are corrected, allergic rhinitis and obesity's association was statistically significant. And nasal obstruction score was higher in obesity than control group, but was not significant. The other side, nasal obstruction and KARQLQ score in abdominal obesity group was significantly higher than control group. Thus, we thought that fixed various confounding factors and large-scale studies will be needed.

  • Purpose: This study was conducted to determine whether alcohol drinking patterns (drinking frequency, drinking quantity, binge drinking frequency and risk drinking) were related to obesity and abdominal obesity. Methods: A total of 6,749 adult men from the sixth Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were evaluated. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were employed to determine if obesity and abdominal obesity was associated with alcohol consumption patterns after adjusting for covariates. Results: No relationship was observed between drinking frequency and obesity. The odds ratio vs. nondrinkers for obesity was significantly low for individuals who consumed 5 to 6 drinks per typical occasion and monthly binge drinking. However ${\geq}7$ drinks per typical occasion resulted in a significantly higher odds for obesity relative to nondrinkers. The odds ratio vs. nondrinkers for abdominal obesity was significantly lower in response to monthly binge drinking, whereas ${\geq}10$ drinks per typical occasion and daily binge drinking resulted in significantly higher odds for abdominal obesity. Risk drinking had higher odds for abdominal obesity than non-risk drinking. Conclusion: Although moderate alcohol drinkers have a lower prevalence of obesity and abdominal obesity than nondrinkers, higher drinking quantity and frequent binge drinking are indicators of a higher prevalence of obesity and abdominal obesity in men.

  • The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between characteristics of obesity and oral diseases by sex and grade. To achieve this, a survey was carried out on 830 students at just an elementary school in Chungnam area. The results of this study are as follows. First, the relationship between dental caries and malocclusion prevalence according to obesity by sex and grade showed that there was no difference between dental caries and malocclusion prevalence by sex, and dental caries prevalence by grade. Second, the difference in the level of dental health according to obesity showed that overweight students had more both caries teeth and loss teeth than normal students. Third, the relationship between obesity and the level of dental health showed that overweight students had many caries teeth and loss teeth. In particular, obesity had higher relationship with caries teeth than loss teeth. As the childhood is the period of time when the range of socialization is extended to schools from families, schools are important life zones for children. Consequently, the continuous and intensive instruction of health problems in schools needs to be comprehensively approached in terms of education.

  • BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Globally, it has been projected that there will be 2 billion overweight and 1 billion obese individuals by 2030. In Korea, the prevalence of adult obesity (BMI > 25) increased from 29.7% in 2009 to 32.4% in 2015. Moreover, childhood obesity, which leads to adulthood obesity, has increasingly become a social problem. The purpose of this review is to summarize the scientific basis for the development of effective models and policies aimed at preventing obesity over a lifetime based on research modeling obesogenic environments. MATERIALS/METHODS: The review focuses on the characteristics of obesity prevalence and trends in 3P analysis (papers, patents, and products) as well as government-funded projects in Korean obesity obesogenic environments over the last 10 years. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: As a result of the 3P analysis, studies on obesity risk factors were frequently carried out, according to two data bases RISS (4.9%) and PubMed (24.7%). Since there were only 17% patents related to the mechanism of preventing obesity in 7,951 Korean patents related to obesity, new paradigms of technologies to dominate the global obesity markets are needed. After government-funded projects were analyzed, communication and cooperation in multi-governmental departments were suggested to elucidate the characteristics of Korean obesity. Government should also produce short- and long-term road maps to develop a practical, successful outcome. Although the rate of obesity in Korea is currently lower than in other developed countries according to WHO criteria, without adequate governmental intervention, obesity rates will approach those of the top countries with high incidence rates of obesity within the next 10 years.

  • 연구배경 : 최근, 전 세계적으로 비만유병률(body mass index [BMI] ${\geq}25kg/m^2$)이 비교적 짧은 기간 동안 급격하게 증가하고 있다. 우리나라에서도 빠른 사회경제적 발전과 좌식업무환경 변화 등으로 비만유병률이 가파르게 상승하였으며, 이는 성별에 따라 다른 양상을 보인다. 본 연구는 2011년과 2013년에 반복하여 국가 일반건감검진을 실시한 우리나라 성인을 대상으로 2년간 비만유병률의 변화양상을 성별에 따라 비교 분석하고자 한다. 연구방법 : 최근 2개년 동안의 비만유병률의 변화를 분석하기 위해서, 2011년과 2013년에 반복하여 건강검진을 모두 실시한 우리나라 성인을 추출하였다. 최종 연구대상자는 144,934명이며, 이 중 남자 83,604명(58%), 여자 61,330명(42%)이었다. 단변량분석에서 Chi-square 검정을 사용하였고, 종속변수(BMI)와 독립변수의 요인별 수준의 차이는 t-test, 일원배치분산분석 및 다중비교로 분석하였다. 연구결과 : 2011년 기준으로 전체 대상자 3명 중 1명이 비만(BMI${\geq}25kg/m^2$; 남성, 37.7%; 여성, 27.3%)이었으며, 절반 이상이 과체중(BMI${\geq}23kg/m^2$; 남성, 65.6%; 여성, 50.4%)으로 나타났다. 2개년 간의 BMI는 남 녀 모두 유의하게 상승했다(P<.0001). 남 녀 모두에서 흡연기간이 길수록, 흡연량이 많을수록, 고혈압 가족력이 있는 경우, 당뇨병 가족력이 있는 경우 비만유병률이 더 높았다. 하지만, 거주지역, 수입정도, 음주상태, 정신장애, 장애상태, 장애중증도 변수에서 비만유병률은 성별로 상이한 양상을 보였다. 결론 : 자료분석 결과, 2개년간 남 녀 모두 비만 유병률(BMI${\geq}25kg/m^2$)이 증가하였으나. 남성과 여성 비만유병율의 변화정도는 각 변수별로 남 녀가 다르게 나타났다. 증가 추세인 비만에 대하여 관리 효과를 높이고 비만 중재의 현실화를 위해서 성별 특성을 고려한 통합 프로그램이 필요하며, 본 연구는 그 정책을 수립할 때 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

  • This study was carried out for the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in obese middle school students. The subjects were 104 obese adolescents of 4 middle schools in Namwon city, Jeonbuk. Average age of the subjects was 12.2 years old, BMI of mild obesity group, moderate obesity group and severe obesity group were 24.6kg/m2, 27.5kg/m2, and 31.8 kg/m2, respectively. Prevalence of metabolic syndrome in obese students was 2.9%. And the person who has more than 2 out of 5 symptoms was 22.1%, and more than 1 was 39.4%. The prevalence of each symptoms were abdomen obesity(46.2%), hyper triglyceride(23.1%), high blood pressure(20.2%), high HDLcholesterol(2.9%), but the hyper glycemia had not been found. Nutrient intakes of 3 groups were not significantly different, energy was 1817.9kcal, carbohydrate was 265.7g, protein was 72.2g, and fat was 51.9g. Nutrient adequacy ratio(NAR) of protein, phosphorus, iron, vitamin A, vitamin B1, vitamin B1, niacin, vitamin C was proper, except calcium. Seventy point two percent of the obese students knew 'obesity is a disease', and 49.0% of the subjects didn't know the complication of the obesity. Only 27.9% of the obese adolescents took nutrition education class, but 51.9% of them thought nutrition education was necessary. We suggest that the nation enforce the policy for early detection and treatment of obesity for adolescents. Obese students and their parents should take nutrition education.

  • This study is to compare the prevalence of obesity between Korean-American children and Korean children, and to investigate the role of environmental factors in obesity development. Prevalence of child obesity is compared by their residence, parents' anthropometric data, education and occupation, and the length of immigration, and birth place of the children. A total of 593 children between the ages of 9 and 12 were examined. 262 Korean-American children (KcUS group) from New Jersey, USA and 331 Korean children (KcK group) from Seoul, Korea were compared. KcUS group showed a higher obesity rate (male: 12.6% and female: 8.2%), compared to KcK group (male: 8.0% and female: 5.1 %). KcK male children showed lower weight and prevalence of obesity than Korean-American male children who lived in the United States for more than three years. Korean-American female children had higher weight and obesity rate than Korean female children. Waist circumference and hip circumference were also higher in obese children in both KcK and KcUS groups. The children who live in America had an odds ratio of 1.69 to be obese compared to KcK, while those born in America and those who have lived in America for more than 3 years had odds ratios of 1.53 and 1.25 to be obese, respectively. This study found that environmental factors, immigration to America for instance, could playa bigger role in child obese development than the genetic factor.

  • Objectives: Self-reported anthropometric values, such as height and weight, are used to calculate body mass index (BMI) and assess the prevalence of obesity among adolescents. The aim of this study was to evaluate the validity of selfreported height, weight, and BMI of the Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-based Survey questionnaire. Methods: A convenience sample of 137 middle school students and 242 high school students completed a selfadministered questionnaire in 2008. Body height and weight were directly measured after self-reported values were obtained from the questionnaire survey. Sensitivity, specificity, and kappa statistics were computed in order to evaluate the validity of the prevalence of obesity (BMI $\geq$ 95th percentile or $\geq$ $25;kg/$m^2$) based on self-reported data. Results: Self-reported weight and BMI tended to be underestimated. Self-reported height tended to be overestimated among middle school females and high school males. Obese adolescents tended to underestimate their weight and BMI and overestimate their height more than non-obese adolescents. The prevalence estimate of obesity based on selfreported data (10.6%) was lower than that based on directly measured data (15.3%). The estimated sensitivity of obesity based on self-reported data was 69.0% and the specificity was 100.0%. The value of kappa was 0.79 (95% confidence interval, 0.70 - 0.88). Conclusions: This study demonstrated that self-reported height and weight may lead to the underestimation of BMI and consequently the prevalence of obesity. These biases should be taken into account when self-reported data are used for monitoring the prevalence and trends of obesity among adolescents nationwide.
