ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
We assessed trends in prevalence of overweight and obesity, self-perceived overweight or obesity, and efforts to lose weight among Korean older adults from 2005 to 2021.METHODS:
Using Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data from 2005 to 2021, we assessed prevalence of overweight and obesity (body mass index≥25 kg/m2), self-perceived overweight or obesity, and self-reported weight loss efforts among Korean adults aged ≥60 years (11,936 men, 15,966 women). Complex sample frequency and linear by linear association analyses were conducted.RESULTS:
The prevalence of overweight and obesity tended to increase only in men, from 28.9% to 37.2% (P for trend<0.001). The prevalence of self-perceived overweight or obesity increased from 18.9% to 35.3% in men and 32.5% to 48.6% in women (P for trend<0.001) and tended to increase regardless of their actual weight (P for trend<0.001). The prevalence of weight loss efforts increased from 17.9% to 28.8% in men and 19.2% to 38.2% in women (P for trend<0.001) and increased in men and women who were not overweight or obese and in women who were overweight or obese (P for trend<0.001). The prevalence of weight loss efforts increased in women who self-perceived themselves as overweight or obese regardless of their actual weight, and in men who self-perceived themselves as overweight or obese even though they were not (P for trend<0.05).CONCLUSIONS:
There were increasing trends in the prevalence of overweight and obesity in older Korean men, self-perceived overweight or obesity, and weight loss efforts in older Korean men and women.Palabras clave
