“…Despite the fact that no significant association between vegetable preference and BMI was detected in our study results, a sufficient vegetable intake has been reported to have positive health effects, as it reduces the incidence of obesity and increases anti-oxidative effects in adolescents [ 20 21 ]. Consequently, promoting vegetable preference among adolescents as a means of encouraging their sufficient vegetable intake will contribute to health improvements in adolescents.…”

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVESDespite the importance of consuming sufficient amounts of vegetables, daily vegetable intake among adolescents in Korea is lower than the current dietary recommendation. The objective of this study was to examine determinants affecting vegetable preference in order to suggest a stage-tailored education strategy that can promote vegetable consumption in adolescents.SUBJECTS/METHODSAdolescents (n = 400, aged 16-17 years) from two high schools participated in a cross-sectional study. Survey variables were vegetable preference, the social cognitive theory (SCT) and stages of change (SOC) constructs. Based on vegetable preference, subjects were classified into two groups: a low-preference group (LPG) and a high-preference group (HPG). SOC was subdivided into pre-action and action/maintenance stages. To compare SCT components and SOC related to vegetable preference, chi-squared and t-tests, along with stepwise multiple-regression analysis, were applied.RESULTSIn the LPG, a similar number of subjects were classified into each stage. Significant differences in self-efficacy, affective attitudes, and vegetable accessibility at home and school were detected among the stages. Subjects in the HPG were mainly at the maintenance stage (81%), and there were significant differences among the stages regarding self-efficacy, affective attitudes, and parenting practice. In the predictions of vegetable preference, self-efficacy and parenting practice had a significant effect in the “pre-action” stage. In the action/maintenance stage, outcome expectation, affective attitudes, and vegetable accessibility at school had significant predictive value. In predicting the vegetable preference for all subjects, 42.8% of the predictive variance was accounted for by affective attitudes, self-efficacy, and vegetable accessibility at school.CONCLUSIONThe study revealed that different determinants affect adolescent vegetable preference in each stage. Self-efficacy and affective attitudes are important determinants affecting vegetable preference. Additionally, school-based nutrition intervention that focuses on enhancing affective attitudes, self-efficacy, and vegetable exposure may constitute an effective education strategy for promoting vegetable consumption among adolescents.

“…This study examined the relationship between the 3 variables of BMI‐for‐age percentile, weight loss efforts, and body image distortion in normal‐weight and underweight Korean female adolescents, and verified the supposition that body image distortion plays a mediating role in normal‐weight and underweight adolescent girls' weight loss efforts. Whereas there have been studies on obese Korean adolescents' body image, physical activities, and weight loss behaviors, there has been relatively insufficient research into body image distortion and normal‐weight adolescents' weight loss efforts.…”

“…Thus, health experts should be aware of normal‐weight adolescents' weight loss efforts and develop effective interventions for them . However, most previous studies examining body image and weight loss efforts in Korea have generally focused on obese adolescents …”

“…However, the frequency of Ramen intake is not associated with obesity ( Table 2 ). Jee and Kim [ 7 ] showed the same result about the frequency of Ramen intake. Camargo and Marín-León [ 8 ] reported the frequency of fast food intake is related to obesity, but consumption of soft drinks and Ramen are not.…”

PurposeFor 3 consecutive years from 2012–2014, we analyzed the causative factors for why the Jeju Island had the highest obesity prevalences of school children among the 15 provinces in Korea.MethodsFrom our analysis of 28,026 elementary school children with obesity or normal weight in the 15 provinces, we analyzed 12 factors related to eating habits, exercise habits, lifestyle, and mental health. The differences between the obese and normal weight children were researched. Finally, Jeju was compared with Seoul, which has the lowest obesity prevalence in school age children. Statistical analysis was performed using the chi square test of PASW Statistics ver. 18.0.ResultsCompared to the normal weight group, the obese group had significantly higher rates of consuming soft drinks (p<0.001), fast food intake (p=0.019), skipping breakfast (p<0.001), insufficient sleep (p<0.001), bullying experiences (p=0.001) and runaway impulses (p=0.012). Compared to Seoul, Jeju Island had significantly higher rates of Ramen intake (3.4% vs. 5.4%, p=0.021) and meat intake (46.0% vs. 52.9%, p=0.003). On the other hand, Jeju Island was significantly lower than was Seoul in their fruit intake (83.4% vs. 67.1%, p<0.001), vegetable intake (71.4% vs. 64.2%, p=0.001), and intense physical activity (63.4% vs. 47.7%, p<0.001). Meanwhile, insufficient sleep (15.4% vs. 9.6%, p<0.001) and runaway impulses (5.6% vs. 3.3%, p=0.027) in children were significantly lower in Jeju Island than in Seoul.ConclusionThe results of the obesity factor analysis of elementary school students in Jeju Island can be used as useful educational material for lowering the obesity prevalence in Jeju community.
