Analysis of the contributing factors of Jeju-do's high obesity rate in South Korea

Obesity, particularly in children and adolescents, is a leading cause of chronic disease throughout life. This study aims to identify the factors that are associated with the highest obesity prevalence among Korean children and adolescents in Jeju-do. This study analysed a total of 483,034 data records from student health examinations conducted by the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Korea between 2017 and 2022, suing descriptive statistics and chi-square tests in R version 4.3.11. In Jeju-do, the normal students consumed soft drink and fast food three or more times per week, watched TV, played games or used the internet for more than 2 hours per day, thought about running away, had no one to talk to about their problems, and worried about family issues more frequently than students in other regions. The obese students in Jeju-do had a statistically significant higher intake of instant noodles and fast food compared to those in other regions. Comparing normal and obese elementary students in Jeju-do, the obese group had a significantly higher intake of unhealthy foods such as instant noodles, soft drink, and fast food compared to the normal group. Jeju-do’s middle and high school students had similar characteristics to the obese population in other regions. Jeju-do’s students have unique factors associated with obesity compared to students in other regions. The study highlights the correlation between obesity and unhealthy mental states among study subjects in South Korea. Future adolescent health policies should address this issue in greater depth.

Influence of Extra Virgin Olive Oil Supplement and Combined Exercise on Health-Related Physical Fitness, Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors, and Bone Density in Obese Elementary Students

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of combined exercise and extra virgin olive oil supplement on health-related physical fitness, cardiovascular disease risk factors, and bone density in obese elementary school students.METHODS: The participants were 40 obese elementary students over 25 kg/m<sup>2</sup> to BMI, 10 combined exercise with high olive oil supplement group (HO+CE), 10 combined exercise with low olive oil supplement group (LO+CE), 10 combined exercise with placebo group (PL+CE), and 10 placebo group (PL). The participants have performed the exercise program for 70 minutes a day and 3 times a week with aerobic and resistance exercise during 12 weeks. Also, high and low olive oil supplement group took in 25 g and 10 g respectively at the same time and place.RESULTS: There were significant decreases in body fat to HO+CE compared with PL+CE (<i>p</i><.05) and significant increase in muscle mass and muscular endurance compared with PL+CE (<i>p</i><.05). However, there were no significant differences in body weight, BMI, muscular strength, and flexibility between groups. For cardiovascular disease risk factors, there is a significant difference to triglyceride, LDL-C, total cholesterol in HO+CE compared with PL+CE (<i>p</i><.05) and there were significant differences to HDL-C significantly decreased in HO+CE compared with PL+CE (<i>p</i><.05). There is no significant difference in bone density between groups (<i>p</i>>.05).CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion, there were positive responses for body composition and cardiovascular disease risk factors for the twofold cases through combined exercise and high extra virgin olive oil supplement, but not for bone density.

Influence of complex exercise and chromium supplement on health-related physical fitness, appetite regulating hormones, and diabetes risk factors in obese elementary students

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of complex exercise and chromium supplement on healthe-related physical fitness, appetite regulating hormones, and diabetes risk factors in obese elementary school students. [Methods] The subjects were 32 obese elementary students over 25 kg/m2 to BMI, 8 complex exercise with high chromium supplement group (CE+HC), 8 complex exercise with low chromium supplement group (CE+LC), 8 complex exercise with placebo group (CE+PL), and 8 placebo group (PL). The subjects have performed the exercise program for 70 minutes a day and 3 times a week with aerobic and anaerobic exercise during 12 weeks. Also, low and high chromium supplement group took a peel 50 ug and 400 ug respectively at the same time and place. [Results] There were significant decreases in body fat to CE+HC compared with CE+PL (p<.05) and significant increase in muscle mass compared with CE+PL (p<.05). However, there were no significant differences in body weight, BMI, muscular strength, muscular endurance, and flexibility between groups. For appetite regulating hormones, there is a significant difference to ghrelin in CE+HC compared with CE+PL (p<.05) and there were significant differences to glucose and insulin significantly decreased in CE+HC compared with CE+PL (p<.05) in diabetes risk factors. [Conclusion] In conclusion, there were positive responses for body composition and diabetes risk factors for the twofold cases through complex exercise and high chromium supplement, but not for physical fitness and appetite regulating hormones.

The effects of aquatic exercise on body composition, physical fitness, and vascular compliance of obese elementary students.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of aquatic exercise on body composition, physical fitness, and vascular compliance of obese elementary school students. For the purpose of this study, 20 obese elementary students were selected as subjects. The subjects were then divided into two groups: the swimming group (n= 10) and the control group (n= 10). The subjects were asked to exercise for 60 minutes a day, 3 times a week for 12 weeks with an exercise intensity of 50–70% HRmax. The following results were achieved: first, in terms of body composition, both body fat percentage and fat-free mass showed significant differences within the swimming group. There were also significant differences again in the posttest of difference between the two groups. Second, in terms of changes in physical fitness, there were, again, no significant changes in muscular strength between the two groups. However, muscular endurance, flexibility, and cardiopulmonary endurance showed significant differences in the swimming group’s test for difference within groups. Significant differences in both groups for the posttest of differences between groups were also seen. Third, in terms of vascular compliance, there was a significant increase in the right leg for the swimming groups’ test of difference within groups, as well as in the posttest of difference between groups.
