The aim of this study is to examine whether individual-level factors and community-level factors affect obesity among adolescents. This study used the 4th-year (2013), 5th-year (2014), and 6th-year (2015) panels in Korean Children and Youth Panel Survey (KCYPS) for 7th grade students. This study conducted a multi-level analysis of data on 4,240 high school students and 66 cities, counties and communities. As for results, first, compared with 10th graders, 12th graders had a higher risk of obesity. Second, as for individual factors, being male, playing game and screen time, and mobile phone use increased the possibility of obesity. Good subjective health status decreased the risk of adolescent obesity. Third, regarding family factors, higher household income decreased the possibility of obesity. Fourth, as for community factors, more convenient stores increased the possibility of obesity. These results confirmed that both individual- and community level factors affect adolescent obesity. Based on these findings implications about obesity prevention were discussed.
