Abstract
This study used data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey IV–VII from 2007 to identify the prevalence of obesity and its phenotypes (metabolically unhealthy obesity [MUO] and metabolically healthy obesity [MHO]) and their secular changes. The prevalence of obesity in Korea increased with significant secular changes observed (β=0.326, <i>P</i> trend <0.01) between 2007 and 2017, and especially in men (β=0.682, <i>P</i> trend <0.001) but not in women. The changes in the prevalence of obesity during the study period were different between men and women (<i>P</i>=0.001). The prevalence of MUO significantly increased only in men (β=0.565, <i>P</i> trend <0.01), while that of MHO increased only in women (β=0.179, <i>P</i><0.05), especially in the younger age group (β=0.308, <i>P</i><0.01).
