Abstract

Purpose: This study was aimed to build a prediction model to identify high-risk groups for overweight or obesity among Korean men in their 30s and 40s.

Methods: This study analyzed data from 28,388 men aged 30-40 years, gathered in the 2022 Community Health Survey. Participants were categorized into two groups based on BMI: underweight/normal weight group and overweight/obese group. This study used chi-squared tests and independent t-tests to compare general and health-related characteristics. Moreover, a prediction model was developed using decision tree analysis, and its validity was verified through a split-sample test.

Results: The proportions of participants in the underweight /normal and overweight/obese groups were 50.4% and 49.6%, respectively. The group with the highest overweight/obesity rate at 60.6% had the characteristics of drinking more than 7 cups at a time, being married, and lacking sleep. On the other hand, the group with the lowest overweight or obesity rate (38.7%) had the characteristics of drinking less than 6 cups of alcohol at a time, getting enough sleep, and smoking less than 15 cigarettes.

Conclusions: The rate of overweight and obesity among Korean males in their 30s and 40s is significantly high. This study found that individuals who consume more than seven glasses of alcohol at a time, are married, and do not get enough sleep are at high risk of being overweight or obese. Therefore, it is essential to develop and implement targeted intervention programs for this high-risk group of Korean men in their 30s and 40s.

用于确定三四十岁韩国男性超重或肥胖高危人群的预测模型。

目的：本研究旨在建立一个预测模型，以确定三四十岁韩国男性中超重或肥胖的高危人群：本研究分析了 2022 年社区健康调查中收集的 28,388 名 30-40 岁男性的数据。根据体重指数将参与者分为两组：体重不足/正常体重组和超重/肥胖组。本研究采用卡方检验和独立 t 检验来比较一般特征和健康相关特征。此外，还利用决策树分析法建立了一个预测模型，并通过分割样本测试验证了该模型的有效性：体重不足/正常组和超重/肥胖组的参与者比例分别为 50.4% 和 49.6%。超重/肥胖率最高的一组为 60.6%，该组具有每次饮酒超过 7 杯、已婚和睡眠不足的特征。另一方面，超重或肥胖率最低的群体（38.7%）具有每次饮酒少于 6 杯、睡眠充足和吸烟少于 15 支的特点：结论：三四十岁的韩国男性超重和肥胖率明显偏高。这项研究发现，一次饮酒超过 7 杯、已婚和睡眠不足的人超重或肥胖的风险很高。因此，有必要针对三四十岁的韩国男性这一高风险群体制定和实施有针对性的干预计划。
