Abstract
In this study, a total of 94,511 surveys were used for the analysis, using raw data from the recent 3 years (2016–2018) of the Korea Youth Risk Behavior Survey (KYRBS) to compare differences in obesity rates based on eating behavior and physical activity among high school students. The cross-analysis and logistic regression were performed in the composite sample design using the SPSS 25.0 statistical package. The results are as follows. First, the more physical activity male students have, the lower the obesity rate. Female students, however, showed a minor difference. Second, the group that drinks the soda was 1158 times more likely to be obese than the group that does not drink the soda, and third, the group that eats the fast food was 1129 times more likely to be obese than the group that does not. Fourth, students belonging to male or female schools had a 1230 times higher obesity rate than coeducational students. Fifth, the obesity rate was 1150 times higher for second grade and 1263 times higher for third grade compared to the first grade. Finally, there was no significant difference related to the nutrition education. It is suggested that, to fight youth obesity in high school students, institutions need to raise public awareness of this problem through information campaigns aimed at improving and fostering potentially existing educational measures.
