Abstract
This study was performed the comparative analysis between adults with spouses and those without spouses. In order to find relationships between obesity waist measurements, total cholesterol, triglycerides, and blood sugar for similar levels of obesity and blood lipid levels, we took into account gender, age, household income, level of education, smoking, drinking, and physical activity in two groups. We have used data from the Korean National Health & Nutrition Examination Survey implemented under the supervision of the Korean Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In this study we analysed a total of 8,786 participants (7,259 with spouses; 1,527 without spouses) who are married and over 19 ages. From our study, we knew that in adults with spouse, those with obese waist measurement had the odds ratio (OR) of 24.28 higher than those with normal waist measurment, those with triglycerides (TG) over 150 mg/dL had the OR of 1.73 higher than those with TG under 150 mg/dL, those with total cholesterol (TC) over 200 mg/dL had the OR of 1.27 higher than those with TC under 200 mg/dL, and those with blood sugar (BS) over 110 mg/dL had the OR of 1.39 higher than those with BS under 110 mg/dL. The research results for those without spouses showed an odds ratio of 25.07 higher for those with obese waist measurements than those with normal measurements. These our results were shown that those with spouses had a correlation between obesity and waist measurements, triglycerides, total cholesterol, and blood sugar and those without spouses had a correlation between obesity and waist measurements.
