Abstract:
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to identify predictors of obesity, serum lipids and CRP in Korean adults. The predictors of obesity and serum lipids were the subject's general characteristics, life style, eating habit and nutrients. The predictors of CRP were the subject's general characteristics, life style, eating habit, nutrients, obesity and serum lipids. METHOD: 115 subjects who had visited the health examination center at a hospital participated in the study. The data analysed with descriptive analysis, ANOVA, Chi-square test, Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regression. RESULT: Sex, married, eating out (4< or =/w), eating out (2-3/w) and age (61< or =) were anticipated variable on BMI(R2=0.488). Sex and overeating (2-3/w) were anticipated variable on body fat(R2=0.218). Drink (4-6/w), age (51-60), sex, vegetable fat and Systolic BP were anticipated variable on total cholesterol (R2=0.217). Age (51-60), vegetable fat and unmarried were anticipated variable on LDL (R2=0.180).Sex was anticipated variable on HDL and Triglyceride (R2=0.054, 0.192). Breakfast (1-3/w) and meal (2/d) were anticipated variable on CRP (R2=0.1268). CONCLUSION: It is thought that decreasing eating out and overeating might be important to prevent obesity. It is thought that decreasing drinking and fat eating might be important to improve serum lipids. It is thought that eating breakfast might be important to decrease CRP.
