本研究旨在探讨社会活动与中老年人超重的关系。这项研究使用了2008年韩国老龄化纵向研究的数据，其中包括8157名成年人。我们将体重指数分为两组：正常体重和超重。采用多因素logistic回归分析确定社会活动与超重之间的关系。对于男性来说，与邻居见面的频率（每周1-3次）与体重减轻有关。每周与邻居见面1到3次的中年人比那些每年见面一次的人更不可能超重。相反，社会活动参与与超重的高风险有关，特别是在女性和老年人中。我们的研究结果表明，在处理超重问题时，需要考虑社会活动参与和社会支持。
This study aims to investigate the relationship between social activities and overweight among middle-aged and older adults. This study used data from the 2008 Korean Longitudinal Study of Aging which included a total of 8157 adults. We divided body mass index into 2 groups: normal weight and overweight. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to identify the association between social activities and overweight. For males, frequency of meetings with neighbors (1-3 times a week) was associated with being less overweight. Middle-aged adults who met with neighbors 1 to 3 times a week were less likely being overweight than those with once a year meeting frequency. On the contrary, social activity participation is related with high risk of overweight especially in the female and older adults. Our results suggest that social activity participation and social support needs to be taken into consideration when dealing with being overweight.
