Objectives: This study aimed to compare the eating habits and lifestyle characteristics according to obesity syndrome differentiation types (OSDT) in overweight and obese Korean adults. Methods: A total of 105 overweight or obese adults (body mass index [BMI] ≥23 kg/m²) participated in this cross-sectional survey study. OSDT was assessed using a structured questionnaire and classified, based on Korean medicine principles. Anthropometric indices, lifestyle factors, dietary habits, eating behaviors, and food frequency intake were evaluated and compared according to the OSDT classification. Results: The distribution of pattern identification among participants was as follows: liver Qi stagnation, food retention, yang deficiency, blood stasis, spleen deficiency, and phlegm retention. The excess syndromes group showed significantly higher body weight, BMI, and waist circumference than the deficiency syndromes group, while sedentary time was longer in the deficiency syndromes group. Within the excess syndromes group, the blood stasis subtype had the highest BMI, waist circumference, and prevalence of abdominal obesity, as well as the most frequent overeating and the greatest proportion of participants with meal durations ≥20 minutes. According to the Dutch eating behavior questionnaire, restrained eating was most prominent in the liver Qi stagnation subtype, while emotional eating was highest in the blood stasis subtype. Within the excess syndromes group, the blood stasis subtype showed the lowest frequency of kimchi consumption and the highest intake of snacks and soda. Conclusions: We obtained data showing that differences in eating habits and lifestyle could be seen for each type.
