Objectives: The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between night eating, sleep quality and adolescent obesity and to present basic data for obesity prevention policy in adolescents.
Method: A self-administered survey using a structured questionnaire was administered to 220 students from a middle school in Busan. Multiple logistic regression analysis was conducted to investigate the effects of night eating and sleep quality on obesity in adolescents using SPSS 27.0.
Results: Night eating of snacks three or more times a week and low subjective sleep quality had a statistically significant effect on obesity, suggesting that prevent obesity in adolescents not only night eating of meals but also snacks such as sweets should be avoided. In addition, it is necessary to determine why low subjective sleep quality affects obesity so that the quality of sleep in adolescents can be improved.
Conclusion: Based on the results of this study, in order to prevent obesity in adolescents, a realistic and effective health education and measures to improve the home and community environment should be established that can reduce the frequency of nighttime eating of such foods as ramen, fast food, snacks, and beverage and improve subjective sleep quality.
