Abstract

Objectives: Women tend to think of themselves as obese, regardless of their objective level of obesity, which has a huge impact on their diet and mental health. Therefore, it is necessary to examine how the difference between objective obesity (BMI) and subjective body type perception affects diet and mental health, and whether subjective body type perception and dietary diet mediate to affect mental health.
Methods: The research data were based on raw data from the National Health and Nutrition Survey of the 6th and 3rd year of the National Health and Nutrition Survey, and 3,772 women in their 20s out of 7,380 people who felt underweight or normal but obese, and a statistical analysis was carried out by extracting questions about subjective body type perception, diet and mental health.
Results: The analysis found that the subjects' subjective body type perception and the difference between obesity and their relationship to dietary diet were not statistically significant (p = 0.373), and the relationship between people who felt underweight or normal but obese and their mental health was statistically significant with 16.5% higher depression and 16.5% higher than those who did not feel obese (p<0.01). In addition, the more dieted, the higher the feeling of depression by 7.2%, which was statistically significant (p<0.01).
Conclusions: In conclusion, many women in their 20s in Korea considered themselves obese despite their body type being low weight or normal, and many of them were on a dietary diet. They also found that most of them had adverse effects on their mental health, such as depression or stress.
