한국과 일본대학생들의 다이어트 행동이 라이프 스타일과 신체적 자기만족에 미치는 요인 비교

Abstract

The study analyzed 1,788 male and female college students in Korea and Japan by comparing factors for lifestyle and subjective physical self-satisfaction due to diet experience and concluded that: First of all, Japanese students have less experience in dieting than Korean students, especially Japanese male students who have experienced dieting in two out of ten, showing many differences between Korean boys, girls and Japanese girls. Second, female students were found to be more active in dieting than male students, especially Korean girls, who were more active in limiting high-calorie intake and trying to lose weight. Third, about half of Korean and Japanese students eat breakfast more than five times a week, while overall, Japanese students eat more often than Korean students, while walking and jogging are more common among Japanese students. Fourth, Korean male and female students are more satisfied with their physical appearance than Japanese male and female students. Finally, the negative health level of Korean female students is higher than that of Japanese female students. Health and diet, lifestyle and self-satisfaction are interrelated and it is believed that healthy body image, lifestyle improvement and sustainable practice efforts will be needed for Korean and Japanese college students so that dieting can be perceived as taking care of their weight not just to lose weight but to protect their health.
