Background

Fast eating or overeating can induce gastrointestinal diseases such as gastritis. However, the association between gastritis and speed of eating is unclear. The aim of this study was to determine whether eating speed is associated with increased risk of endoscopic erosive gastritis (EEG).

Methods

We carried out a cross-sectional study involving 10,893 adults who underwent a general health checkup between 2007 and 2009. Two groups, EEG patients and EEG-free patients, were compared by using the t-test and the chi-square test. Multiple logistic regression analyses were performed to investigate the association between eating speed and EEG.

Results

The group with EEG had a higher proportion of males, average age, body mass index, and percentages of current smokers and risky drinkers than those without EEG. After adjusting for anthropometric, social, and endoscopic parameters, the group with the highest eating speed (<5 min/meal) had 1.7 times higher risk for EEG than the group with the lowest eating speed (≥15 min/meal) (odds ratio, 1.71; 95% confidence interval, 1.20-2.45).

Conclusion

High eating speed is an independent risk factor for EEG. Our results indicate the need for further studies to clarify the role of eating speed in gastritis.

Background
This study aimed to examine the factors related to eating behavior subscales and change of eating behavior subscales among obese patients received weight reduction management. Methods: Eating behavior subscales (restrained eating, emotional eating, and external eating) were assessed using the Korean version of Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire in 76 obese female patients at obesity clinic and 83 female visitors at health promotion center. Fifty nine patients received weight reduction management and completed followup survey after 2-3 months. Demographics, physical activity, health behaviors, diet experience, BMI, and weight change were assessed. Results: The score of restrained eating was significantly higher in obese patients compared to controls, while scores of other subscales were not different between the two groups. Diet experience, score of emotional eating, and BMI explained 15% of variance of restrained eating score after adjustment for covariates. Likewise, increase of restrained and external eating scores and younger age explained 27% of variance of emotional eating score. External eating score was associated with increase in emotional eating score, higher education, regular exercise, and frequent overeating (R2 = 30%). Among obese patients, the follow-up score of restrained eating was significantly higher compared to that score at baseline, while the scores of emotional and external eating were not significantly changed. After adjustment for covariates, only irregular eating habit was associated with the change of restrained eating score. Conclusion: Restrained eating score was associated with BMI regardless of subjects group, while, among obese patients, the change of restrained eating score was associated with frequent irregular eating habit.

Effects of a School-based Obesity Prevention Program in Adolescents.: Sang Joon Yun, Kayoung Lee; J Korean Acad Fam Med 2008;29(8):585-594. Published online August 10, 2008

Abstract
PDF

Background
We aimed to evaluate the effect of school- based obesity prevention and management program applied to adolescents in a middle school on body mass index (BMI), weight-related attitude, eating behavior and physical activity of adolescents. Methods: A total of 664 adolescents (14.7±0.9 years old) in a middle school located in Busan were study subjects. The obesity prevention and management program was conducted for 6 months, from March to September, 2005. Their weight and height were measured and their weight-related attitude, eating habit and physical activity were assessed using a questionnaire at baseline and after 6 months. Their weight status was classified into under-, normal-, and overweight according to their BMI at baseline. Results: The prevalence of underweight and overweight was 6.2% and 19.3%, respectively. Among the adolescents with overweight, the BMI significantly decreased after 6 months compared to the BMI at baseline (P＜0.05), while the BMI was not significantly changed over 6 months among the under- and normal weight groups. The adolescents were more likely to become highly concerned about obesity-related problems (P=0.002) and actively participating in obesity prevention program (P=0.007) after 6 months compared to those attitude at baseline. The BMI significantly decreased in the adolescents whose eating behavior or physical activity were improved compared to their counterparts (P＜0.05). Conclusion: The 6-months program for obesity prevention and management seemed to reduce BMI in overweight adolescents and raise concern about obesity related problems and promote participation in obesity prevention program in adolescents as a whole. Further long-term intervention studies need to be implemented. (J Korean Acad Fam Med 2008;29:585-594)

Background
The purpose of this study was to find the weight-related factors related to active attitude towards weight loss in children who are overweight or obese and their parents. Methods: A total of 252 elementary school children who were overweight or obese and their parents were surveyed on weight-related attitudes for one month in May 2003 in Kimhae. The definition of overweight and obesity was based on age and sex-specific Korean children's BMI references established in 1998. Results: Among the total, 64.5% of children and 76.4% of parents thought frequently about losing weight in children. Among the total, 52.8% of children and 47.6% of parents tried losing weight in children more than three times. In children, the factors related to frequent thoughts of losing weight were gender, body mass index (BMI), body dissatisfaction index, and the score of eating attitude (P＜0.05). Parents' thought about their children's losing weight and the efforts to persuade their children to lose weight were related to children's frequent thought about losing weight. The children's factors related to trying to lose weight by themselves were age, BMI, and the score of eating attitude. The parent's factors related to children trying to lose weight were body dissatisfaction index of their children by parents, parent's eating attitude score, parent's thought about children's losing weight and making efforts to persuade children to lose weight by parents. The children's eating attitude was related to frequent thoughts about losing weight (odds ratio 1.05, 95% CI 1.03∼1.07) and trying to lose weight more than 3 times (odds ratio 1.02, 95% CI 1.003∼1.04) after adjusting for other factors. Likewise, parents' effort to persuade their childrento lose weight was related to children's effort to lose weight (odds ratio 2.62, 95% CI 1.34∼5.1). Conclusion: Active attitude towards losing weight in overweight or obese children was related to parent's attitude to wards losing weight. (J Korean Acad Fam Med 2007;28:179-186)
