This study aimed to identify the effects of lifestyle on Mibyeong, and provide basic data for health promotion
activities for management of Mibyeong. A total of 405 data were analyzed for Daejeon University employees from July,
2015 to Jan, 2016. In this study, we collected the data about sex, age, BMI, dietary habit, physical activity, smoking,
drinking, and Mibyeong index. There was a difference between Mibyeong groups according to irregular eating, eating
of night snack, and smoking for men, while overeating, irregular eating, and physical activity for women. Logistics
regression analysis, adjusting for sex and age, was used to estimate related factors of Mibyeong. Compared to the
healthy group, Mibyeong 2 group tended to overeat 4 times a week with odds ratio of 3.52, eat irregularly with odds
ratio of 2.67, lack of physical activity with odds ratio of 3.30, and to smoke with odds ratio of 3.07. This study
suggests that lifestyle, particularly dietary habit, physical activities, and smoking, might be significantly associated with
Mibyeong. Good lifestyle could help prevent Mibyeong. |
