Obesity, which is affected by over-nutrition and other factors, caused by health problems. The purpose of this study is to find the relationship between eating behaviors and obesity among the female college students. One hundred ninety one students participated in this study, and they categorized into 2 groups, obese group (BMI 25) and normal weight group (BMI<25).
Research data based on eating behaviors, food preferences, daily activities, alcohol intake etc. and these data were collected through questionnaire. Based on the questionnaire research, data analysis of frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, t-test, and correlation analysis were taken using SPSS windows 10.1 program. The average BMI (Body Mass Index), which shows the level of obese, was 21.39 kg/m2.
The result of the study was as follows:
1. Food craving, food preference and habitual eating behavior arre the differences between the obese group and normal group. The average value of the obese group appeared higher rate than normal group in all of these three factors. All three factors influence in obese degree (food cravings factor p=0.00, food preference factor p=0.00, habitual eating behavior p=0.01). In the factor of food preference, obese group, they enjoy and eat fat food, sweet food, and convenience food. These three factors influence without great difference on obesity, but factor that greatly influences on obesity is food cravings (B=0.04054).
2. Greatly influences on obesity in food craving factor is ‘Eat more than other person’(B=0.145, p=0.005). Factor which greatly influences on obesity in food preference factors is ‘Enjoy and eat fat food of food that snap’(B=0.138, p=0.001)
3. Meat, vegetables, fruits, seaweeds, fast foods, bread, cake, chocolate, confectionary, ice cream and yogurts display significant results in relation with the intake amount of each food group and the obesity. Based on data normal group ingests more fishes than obese group, but it did not show significant results. This is the same case of milk and meander. In other words, people who consume a lot of meats (B=0.08980), fast foods (B=0.109), bread, cake, chocolate, confectionary (B=0.171), ice cream and yogurt (B=0.09259) tends to be more obese. The other side, a person who eat a little seaweeds (B=0.104), vegetables (B=0.09058) and fruits (B=0.104) tends to be less obese.
4. In this study, frequency of drinking alcohol didn´t show significant difference between normal weight group and obese group. However, the drinking habit factor has higher total score in obese group (8.96) than normal group (8.26).
5. Significant difference about obesity occurrence between nicoatian and non-nicotian were not found (p=0.523), and the results show that intake of coffee decreases obese degree but it is not significant (p=0.416).
6. We can recognized that a person who ingest more carbonated drink tends to be obese in the relation between intake carbonated drink and obesity degree (B=0.135, p=0.014).
