Abstract
Abstract
Background: Significant interaction between obesity and health risk behaviors existed, which may cause serious disease consequences, resulting in great disease burden.
Methods: A quantitative analysis using R software (3.5.2) presents the evaluation of 2650 responses (including 747 overweight and 254 obesity), Pearson’s chi-square test was used to compare the distribution characteristics of health risk behaviors in different groups, univariate and multinomial logistic regression mode were further used to explore significant factors of health risk behaviors.
Results: Smoking, alcohol consuming, physical inactivity, poor sleep and skipping medical checkups were prevalent among those overweight and obesity in China, significant correlations existed between health risk behaviors. Gender, education, SRPH, SRMH and family income are significant factors affecting health risk behaviors in obese people.
Conclusions: The findings of this paper suggested that interventions on health risk behaviors of obese people should be strengthened, so as to reduce the disease burden caused by obesity more effectively.
