Objectives: The aim of this study was to examine the association between obesity and drinking frequency, drinking quantity, binge drinking frequency, and alcohol use disorder in Korea.
Methods: Five thousand nine hundred and forty three cases of 19 years old or over which were selected from the raw data of the fifth Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey in 2012 were applied to chi-test and multivariate logistic regression to identify correlates of obesity by drinking behaviors. The final control variables were gender, age and education level.
Results: Weekly drinkers are 1.236 times more likely to have obesity than Abstainer or less than monthly drinkers. Who drinks 5 or 6 glasses is 1.297 times, who drinks 7 or 9 glasses is 1.656 times, and who drink 10 or more glasses is 2.363 times more likely to have obesity than who drinks 1 or 2 glasses on a typical day. For male who has binge drinking occasion weekly is 1.612 times, and who has daily or almost daily is 2.179 times more likely to have obesity than who has less than monthly. For female who has binge drinking occasion weekly is 1.422 times more likely to have obesity than who has less than monthly. Who gets 8 to 15 points by the AUDIT is 1.220 times, who gets 16 to 19 points is 1.422 times, and who gets 20 points or over is 1.682 times more likely to has obesity than who gets 0 to 7 points.
Conclusion: J shapes are shown between obesity rate and drinking frequency, and drinking quantity. But male`s and female`s shapes are different between obesity rate and accumulated frequency-quantity. Male`s shape shows almost linear shape but female`s one shows two peaked shape. Therefore there are strong relations of obesity rate by drinking frequency, drinking quantity, binge drinking frequency, and AUDIT score for male conclusively, but not for female.
