The purpose of this study was to assess the model for the influenced factors of obesity, including characteristics, environmental variable, mental status and disease. Totally 200 subjects were obtained from one community in Taipei city. The instruments for this study included the personal demographic sheet, tools of height and weight, measurement of serum cholesterol and sugar, UV Spectrophotometer, ELISA Reader, and Laser Doppler Flowmeter. A LINear Structural RELations (LISREL) 8.30 was used to assess the structural equation modeling (SEM) of influenced factors of obesity, and the SPSS 10.0 version for windows was used for the rest of data.
The results of this study showed that the structural model of the influence factors of obesity fits data well (χ2 = 42.81( p=0.60), χ2/ df =2.68, GFI= .95, AGFI=.88, RMR=.045,CN= 322.2). The obesity was directly and indirectly influenced by the variables that exist complex interplays among them. The variables of age, gender, educational levels, occupations, blood pressure, serum cholesterol, blood sugar, free radicals, leptin, microcirculation, high fat diet, smoke, and drink were positively correlated with obesity variable. Obesity was negatively correlated with self-satisfaction. The study provides a reasonable and reliable model of influenced factors of obesity, which could be used to develop strategies and programs to weight reduction for obesity.
