Abstract
The aim of study was to assess the extent of Internet Game Addiction (IGA) and to investigate its relationship with health behaviors in adolescents. Participants were 269 elementary and middle school students in South Korea. The modified IGA scale was used to measure internet game addiction. BMI was used to measure obesity. 36.8% of participants stayed in the early stages of IGA while 2.2% were in heavy stage of IGA. Overall the IGA scale was 50.07 (±22.43). The extent of visual acuity down, occurrence of disease, disturbance of sleeping, skipping meals or lack of outdoor exercise according to IGA scale were statistically significant. Based upon these findings, the level of IGA affects the health behaviors in adolescents. (Korean J Str Res 2010;18:51∼57)
