Objectives: There is an increase in the rate of obesity in South Korea as a result of changing dietary habits and decreasing physical activity. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between eating rate and obesity.
Methods: Multiple logistic regression analyses were conducted using raw data from the Korean Community Health Survey 2017 for Gangwon Province data to evaluate the relationship between eating rate and obesity.
Results: Among men, the major factor affecting obesity was an eating rate of ≤0 min (odds ratio=1.16 (1.02, 1.33); p<.05). In women, factors affecting obesity were an eating rate of ≤0 min (odds ratio=1.14 (1.02, 1.28); p<.05), and irregular mealtimes (odds ratio=1.15 (1.02, 1.29); p<.05). Eating out was found to be a significantly important factor among both genders when participants eat-out once a day or less.
Conclusion: Implementing simple strategies to improve dietary and lifestyle habits may assist in weight and obesity management. These findings provide useful information for developing future strategies in obesity prevention.
