“…Additionally, one study found that subjective health status signi cantly impacted weight control efforts [9]. Those who perceived their health as good were more likely to make efforts to control their weight than those who perceived their health as poor.…”

“…In the context of obesity, individuals often try to manage their weight as a way of controlling their health [8]. Those who perceive themselves to be in good health usually attempt weight control more often than those who perceive themselves to be in poor health [9]. Education level also affects weight control experiences, as individuals with higher education levels tend to manage their weight more [8,9].…”

Background Obesity is an abnormal and potentially dangerous condition caused by excess body fat accumulation. The number of people with obesity is increasing worldwide. Obesity is the primary cause of various diseases; therefore, it is crucial to make efforts to control and maintain a healthy body weight. Identifying the factors that influence men with obesity to attempt to control and not control their weight is essential. The objective of this study was to create a prediction model for weight control experience among Korean men in their 30s and 40s. Methods We analyzed data from the 2022 Community Health Survey and included 12,311 men who were overweight or obese. The men were divided into two groups based on their weight control experience: 1) Yes group (n = 9,405) and 2) No group (n = 2,906). Chi-square and independent t-tests were used to compare general and health-related characteristics between the groups. Decision tree analysis was used to build a prediction model for weight control experience. A split-sample test was conducted to validate the model. Results Several predictive models were generated based on the total number of participants, age, and body mass index as the first separating factors. The major factors affecting weight control among men with obesity in their 30s and 40s in Korea include subjective body shape, age, body mass index, education level, completion of hypertension management education, awareness of blood glucose levels, and smoking status. Subjective body shape was confirmed to significantly affect weight control experience. Conclusions It is necessary to support individuals in maintaining and managing an ideal weight by promoting a desirable perception of their body shape. In addition, there is an urgent need to provide obesity prevention and management education to those who have no weight control experience, particularly those at high risk, as identified in this study.

“…Approximately 8.0% to 31.4% of adult women [ 3 ] and 53.3% of female college students [ 27 ] displayed body image distortion, where they perceived themselves as obese despite having normal weight, and women with a distorted body image were 1.68 times more likely to attempt to control their weight compared to those without a distorted body image. [ 28 ] In other words, it is important to address body image distortions in young women such that they have an accurate sense of their BMI and do not attempt to lose weight despite having a normal body weight. As young adults are not concerned about future disease risk, it is necessary to raise awareness of osteoporosis to increase participation in preventive action.…”

There is a need to provide insight into the management and health care fields for the prevention of osteoporosis in young women by analyzing the factors affecting the prevention of osteoporosis. This descriptive survey aimed to identify the predictors of osteoporosis prevention behaviors in women in their 20s and 30s by examining their body mass index (BMI), weight control experience, osteoporosis knowledge, osteoporosis self-efficacy, and osteoporosis prevention behaviors. One hundred fifty participants were conveniently sampled, and data were collected from August to September 2020. Participants in their 20s and 30s completed a questionnaire concerning the general characteristics, osteoporosis-related characteristics, osteoporosis knowledge, osteoporosis self-efficacy, and osteoporosis prevention behaviors. Approximately 82.6% of the participants had at least 1 type of weight control experience. The mean participants’ age and BMI were 28.94 (±5.32) years and 21.62 (±3.21) kg/m2, respectively. No significant differences in weight control experience according to the participants’ characteristics were observed. However, significant differences were noted in BMI and age, osteoporosis knowledge and educational background, osteoporosis prevention behavior and educational background, and household type. Osteoporosis prevention behaviors were significantly positively correlated with weight control experience, osteoporosis knowledge, and osteoporosis self-efficacy. Osteoporosis prevention behaviors increased with increasing osteoporosis self-efficacy (β = 0.53, P < .001), among multiperson households (β = 0.20, P = .003), and among those with a weight control experience (β = 0.18, P = .007), and these factors explained 47.2% of the variance (F = 23.11, P < .001). Based on the study results, further studies are needed to identify and analyze the predictors of osteoporosis prevention behaviors in women to increase the awareness of osteoporosis and osteoporosis prevention and management in this group and expand similar efforts.

“…Previous studies have primarily focused on the identification of weight-related factors such as actual BMI and subjective body type recognition as the primary related factors for EWCB [ 5 , 10 , 14 , 15 ]. Alternatively, adolescents were considered as a single group to reveal the related factors of EWCB.…”

“…Alternatively, adolescents were considered as a single group to reveal the related factors of EWCB. EWCB-related socio-demographic factors such as sex, age, school sex-composition, school type, geographic area, perceived economic status, and/or parents’ final educational background [ 4 , 5 , 7 , 15 – 17 ], and psychological factors such as self-rated health, perceived stress, and/or experience of depression [ 5 – 7 , 14 , 15 , 17 ] were identified in domestic and overseas studies.…”

Background Misperceptions about obesity is common among adolescents. Adolescents who overestimate their body size tend to indulge in extreme weight control behaviors. However, little is known about the factors involved in the adoption of extreme weight control behavior (EWCB) by non-obese adolescents who are mistaken for being overweight. This study identified factors associated with unhealthy behaviors among normal/underweight high school students who overestimate their body image and attempt to lose weight. Design A secondary analysis of nationally representative data from the Korea Youth Risk Behavior Survey focused on adolescents who attended vocational and academically oriented high schools. Methods The analysis included data from 4,286 non-obese respondents (15–18 years) who overestimated their body weight. Of them, 2,887 were girls (66.5%), while 1,399 were boys (33.5%). Multiple logistic regression was used to investigate risk factors for EWCB by sex. A statistical analysis reflecting strata, clusters, and weights of the complex sampling design was adopted. Results Of the respondents, 674 (23.3%) girls and 162 (11.5%) boys reported EWCB. For both sexes, vocational high school attendance and depression were significantly influenced by EWCB. EWCB was linked to perceived stress in girls and living in a big city in boys. Conclusions The findings suggest the importance of providing quality health education, including that for non-obese adolescents, in school obesity prevention programs along with the expansion of tailored intervention programs based on sex, following a consideration of the characteristics of high schools as well as individuals.
