본 논문에서는 2005년, 2007년, 2008년의 한국노동패널조사 자료를 사용하여 비만이 주관적 생활만족도에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 주요 개별특성변수와 지역변수를 통제하고 고정효과모형으로 회귀분석한 결과 여성은 체격에 따라 생활만족도에 차이가 없었으나 남성은 비만1단계 그룹의 생활만족도가 다른 체격그룹에 비해 높고 동료집단보다 비만할수록 생활만족도가 높았다. 연령별, 교육수준별, 소득별로 집단 간에 비만도가 생활만족도에 미치는 영향이 다른 것으로 조사되었는데 특히 연령적으로는 중․장년층, 학력으로는 고졸, 소득은 저소득층에서 1단계비만 그룹이 생활만족도가 높았고 상대적 비만도가 높을수록 생활만족도가 높았다. 따라서 비만 억제정책은 성별로는 남성, 연령적으로는 중․장년층, 학력으로는 고졸학력, 소득계층으로는 저소득층의 후생에 부정적인 영향을 미칠 것으로 예상된다. 그러나 고도비만 그룹이 다른 체중그룹에 비해 생활만족도가 낮았던 고학력층의 경우에는 비만 억제정책이 후생에 긍정적인 영향을 미칠 수도 있을 것이다.
Abstract
This paper investigates the impact of obesity on individuals’ life satisfaction using KLIPS (Korean Labor and Income Panel Study) data from years 2005, 2007, and 2008. The results of employing fixed effect model showed that there were no differences in life satisfaction among BMI (Body Mass Index) classes for women. However, men who belong in the obese class were more likely to have greater well-being than those belonging to other weight classes. When we classified samples according to either age, education level, or income, the impact of absolute obesity and relative obesity on subjective well-being were different among each classification group. Specially, individuals belonging to obese class (or having higher relative obesity) were more likely to have greater well-being than those belonging to other weight groups (or having lower relative obesity) for the middle age group, high school graduation group, and lower income group. Thus, obesity regulation may reduce the welfare of those in the male, middle aged, medium level education, and lower income groups
