Purpose: The purpose of this study was to measure air force officers’ and NCOs’(Non Commissioned Officers) healthy weight control behaviors and to identify factors affecting these behaviors, to ultimately provide basic materials for developing health promotion programs aimed at attaining and maintaining a healthy weight among air force officers and NCOs.
Methods: Data were collected from air force officers and NCOs at an Air Force base in S.Korea through a self-reporting questionnaire survey during the period from the 24th to the 31st of October, 2007. A total of 293 questionnaires were analyzed by SPSS/PC-11.0.
Results: 1. When the score of healthy weight control behavior was measured on a 5-point scale, the behavior earning the highest score was a high-fat diet(3.86) followed by healthy dietary habits(3.68), alcohol consumption(3.10) and exercise (2.45). In the results of the comparison between healthy weight control behavior and body mass index (BMI), no significant difference was observed in the healthy weight control behavior scores between the healthy weight group(90.95) and the overweight group(90.63), but a statistically significant difference was observed in the obese group (85.10). 2. When the correlations between healthy weight control behavior and major variables were analyzed, a positive correlation was
observed among self-reported state of health, self-efficacy, social support, and time available health resource utilization. On other hand, the relationships of healthy weight control behavior were negative in relation to daily life stress, job stress, P.T. score-related stress, and the frequency of sick leave. 3. When 15 factors related to healthy weight control behavior for sub-categorized into personal characteristics, occupational characteristics, personal pre-disposing factors, interpersonal reinforcing factors, and environmental enabling factors, and hierarchical multiple regression analysis was conducted, these factors explained 41.9% of healthy weight control behavior.
Conclusion: The results of this study showed that the number of air force officers and NCOs’ who practice healthy weight control behavior was higher among those who were married, those whose military branch was general administration and those whose self-reported health state, level of self-efficacy and social support were high. Accordingly, it is believed that healthy weight among air force officers and NCOs’ can be maintained effectively by developing and applying programs in consideration of individual healthy weight control behavior and factors affecting such behavior. Additionally, strategies for increasing air force officers and NCOs’ participation in such programs ought to be developed.
