This study was designed as a cross-sectional study, and the subjects were the second-grade students of high schools located in the city of K in Kyung Gi Province, South Korea, who are chosen through convenience sampling. Out of total 282 subjects, 276 analyzed swered the questionnarires (98.2%) of high school students. The data were collected for 11 days between December 26 and December 31, 2005, through the self-reported questionnaires. There were 27 questions for the depressions, 60 questions for Health Promotion Lifestyle Profile that were developed by Park In Sook et al, 4 questions for Perceived Health Status that were proposed as the Health Self Rating Scale, and 11 questions for general characteristics, thus totaling 102 questions. All the measuring tools in the questionnaires were approved in terms of validation. As to the statistical analysis, we selected frequency, percentage, arithmetic mean, t-test, ANOVA analysis, Spearman’s correlation analysis, by using the SAS 8.1ⓡ Analysis program. The significance level was 0.05. The results of this study are as follows: Firstly, The average score of the subject’s depression was 17.8±7.8. The average score of the Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile variable was 140.2±22.0. Second, There was a statistically significant correlation between Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile and the depression (r-0.4998). there was a statistically significant correlation between Perceived Health Status and depression (r-0.5225). Third, Under the control of other variables, the depression Score was statistically significant for the subjects’ Health Promotion Lifestyle Profile and Perceived Health Status (p<0.0001). Except fragmentary reports on the prevalence of the depression in adolescents, there have been almost no studies in which the researchers concretely related the depression to health. Despite the limitations as a cross-sectional study and in the representativeness of the subjects, this study identified that the Internet Addiction had a (negatively) close association with Health Promotion Lifestyle Profile and Perceived Health Status, and suggested that the addiction could have a negative effect on the health of adolescents.
