Adolescence is an important period of growth and development. We aimed to analyz the factors affecting the subjective health and physical fitness perceptions of Korean adolescents.
This cross-sectional study used data from 2,599 Korean adolescents who participated in the Korea National Life and Sports Surveys during 2020-2022, along with secondary data analysis. The study included frequency analysis of the demographic variables and chi-square tests to examine the relationship between the variables and subjective health and fitness perceptions. Multivariate logistic regression was also used to explore the factors affecting adolescent subjective perceptions.
The study revealed significant factors influencing health perceptions in Korean adolescents, including male gender, lack of regular physical activity, adequate rest, adherence to a consistent diet, and use of nutritional supplements (0.05).
Key factors, such as rest, diet, and nutritional supplements should be considered while developing policies that support adolescent health. Unfortunately, there has been a decline in the physical activity of adolescents in Korea. Therefore, a variety of physical activity programs that consider the characteristics of each student need to be developed to address adolescent health issues.
青春期是生长发育的重要时期。我们旨在分析影响韩国青少年主观健康和体能认知的因素。
这项横断面研究使用了2020年至2022年期间参与韩国国民生活与体育调查的2599名韩国青少年的数据，并进行了二次数据分析。该研究包括对人口统计学变量的频率分析和卡方检验，以检验变量与主观健康和体能认知之间的关系。还使用多变量逻辑回归来探索影响青少年主观认知的因素。
该研究揭示了影响韩国青少年健康认知的重要因素，包括男性、缺乏定期体育活动、充足休息、坚持一致的饮食以及使用营养补充剂（P<0.05）。
在制定支持青少年健康的政策时，应考虑休息、饮食和营养补充剂等关键因素。遗憾的是，韩国青少年的体育活动有所减少。因此，需要制定各种考虑每个学生特点的体育活动计划来解决青少年健康问题。
