The purpose of this study was to investigate the general characteristics, body shape, and perceptions of weight control in individuals consuming functional health foods and weight-control foods. The survey was conducted between April 15 and June 17, 2010 among 199 (57 males and 142 females; age range, 25-45 years) in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do, who ex-perienced eating functional health foods or weight control foods during the past year (June 2009 to June 2010). The sub-jects were divided into a weight-control food group (89 adults) and a functional health food group (110 adults). The su-bjects were comprised of a high proportion of aged (average age, 34.2 ± 5.9 years), graduates (71.9%), and married (65.8%) individuals. In the weight control food group, gender, age, and educational background were similar and the ratios of service/technical employees, college students, and normal-weight individuals [body mass index (BMI), < 23] were high. BMI was significantly different by gender (p < 0.001), age (p < 0.01), marital status (p < 0.00 1), and job type (p < 0.00 1). Self-perceived health status showed a higher response for “in good health” in the 35-44 year old group than that in the 25-34 year old group (p < 0.05). Male group satisfaction for body shape was significantly higher than that in the female group. The main reason for going on a diet was significantly different by gender (p < 0.05) and BMI (p < 0.01). The main motives for dieting were “because I am not at an ideal weight” and “because of the social atmosphere and the attention of others” in men, but “can’t wear the clothes I want” in women (p < 0.01). The most preferable product type related to the two groups was significantly different by job (p < 0.001) and BMI (p < 0.05). However, no significant differences were observed for questions about body shape perception and weight control. Consumers who had different genera l characteristics and used diet products perceived body shape and weight control differently. Additionally, no meaningful differences were observed when the result s were categorized by product type, except job and BMI, but the distribution of consumer characteristics showed different tendencies. These results can be utilized as basic data for developing new diet products to help people control their weight more scientifically and appropriately in the future.
