Abstract

|
|
Objectives: The obesity rate among adult men is rapidly increasing compared to women. This study examined the relationship between subjective body shape perception, health behavior practices, and obesity among adult men.
Methods: Using a sample of 1,294 adult men aged 29 to 59 years from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, we examined not only the relationship between health behavior practices and obesity rates but also the difference in health behavior practices by type of subjective body shape perception using a chi-square test.
Results: In terms of health behavior characteristics, subjective body shape perception, weight control status, number of walking days per week, drinking frequency, dietary status, and conscious water intake were significantly related to obesity. In addition, there were differences in health behavior practices according to the type of subjective body shape perception.
Conclusions: Differences in health behavior practices according to subjective body shape perception can be used to establish obesity management policies by body image perception group.
