I wouldn't have guessed this, but the Korea Times says it is so-- More female than male are smoker and obese Statistics Korea released “Korea’s Social Indicators in 2012” on June 20, which glimpses into how Koreans have changed over the period from 2011 to 2012 under various categories. According to the indicators, population with obesity over the age of 19 in 2011 was 31.9 percent, an increase of 0.5 percent points from the previous year. The result was due to an increase in obese females. Obesity illness rate for females in 2011 was 28.6 percent, an increase of 2.2 percentage points from the average rate between 2007 and 2010. The 2011 rate also marked the highest score ever. The corresponding rate, however, showed a decrease in the male population. The rate in 2011 was 35.2 percent and 36.5 percent in 2010, showing a 1.3 percentage point decrease. Change in the number of smokers in both genders showed the same trend. While male smokers decreased from 48.1 percent in 2010 to 46.8 percent in 2011, female smokers increased from 6.1 percent to 6.6 percent. The indicators also revealed that 71.8 percent of the married male population expressed satisfaction from their wedlock, while 59.2 percent of married female did. An associate from Statistics Korea explained the crossing change over the time between male and female. “Although more women have stepped up a ladder in social strata over recent history, most of them are still shackled by responsibilities like child upbringing and other household chores.” koreatimes.co.kr
