Data were represented % about representative of the entire Korean population.LS, low stress; HS, high stress; BMI, body mass index; AUDIT, alcohol use disorders identification test.*

P value were obtained by t-test or χ²-test;

†

P values were obtained between stress level using multivariable logistic regression model after adjustment for age, education level, household income, occupation, marital status, physical activity, and self-reported health;

‡

Obesity was defined as BMI ≥25.0 by the International Obesity Task Force (IOTF) Asia-Pacific region;

Alcohol quantity were divided by ≤4 and ≥5 cups for men; ≤2 and ≥3 cups for women, as low and high;

Smoking quantity were divided by ≤15 and ≥16 cigarettes for men; ≤7 and ≥8 cigarettes for women as low and high;
