  The general aim of Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) was to assess the health and nutritional status in the Korean population. The KNHANES began in 1998 and has been conducting as a series of surveys: 1998(1st), 2001(2nd), 2005(3rd) and 2007-2009(4th). Specific aims were, in a cross-sectional study of nationally representative samples of the noninstitutionalized civilian Korean population aged > 1 year (4,600 households each year), to monitor trends the prevalence, awareness, treatment and control of selected chronic diseases, monitor trends in nutritional status and risk behaviors, and analyze risk factors for chronic diseases. For these purposes, with standardized high-quality methods, extensive data on health and nutrition are collected by health interview, health examination (physical examination, clinical measurements and tests) and dietary interview. In 2007, the 4th KNHANES became a continuous annual survey by highly trained field staff. In addition, the 4th KNHANES expanded examination components (addition of oral examination, pulmonary function test and laboratory test items such as ferritin, vitamin D, insulin, manganese, and arsenic), simplified survey procedure, and strengthened quality control. Further works will be focused on the selection of new examination and interview components, planning of KNHANES follow-up survey, continuous training of field staff and quality control, and improvement of dietary survey method.

The Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) was initiated in 1998 to provide evidence for the development and evaluation of health policies and programs. The Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency is responsible for the KNHANES and has conducted it as a series of surveys. Over the past 20 years, efforts to produce accurate, timely, and nationwide health statistics have been refined by establishing a continuous annual survey system with full-time field staff, incrementally expanding survey components, collaborating with relevant academic societies for quality control, and revising the survey methods. Additionally, the utility of the collected data was increased by linking the KNHANES data with related data from other government agencies or institutions and making the overall data publicly available on the official website of KNHANES (https://knhanes.kdca.go.kr). Additional long-term plans are being developed, including plans to continue producing nationwide health indicators and invigorating the utilization of the KNHANES data.

This study aimed to identify factors related to health-related quality of life (EuroQol-5 Dimension) for occupational groups of the domestic working-age population based on the 2019 Korea National Health & Nutrition Examination Survey data. We provide data for the development of health management programs for them by identifying health-related quality of life by occupational group. This study is a secondary data analysis study. The subjects were 4,144 working-age population (19~65 years old and the final analysis was done by classifying them into white blue and others by occupation. These data were analyzed using the chi-square test multi-variable logistic regression using SPSS 26.0. Subjective health status suicidal ideation and stress perception were common factors affecting health-related quality of life in all groups. In addition sleep time in the white group body mass index (BMI) in blue, and BMI, sleep time, and smoking in other groups were health-related quality-of-life related variables. There were differences in health-related quality of life related factors by occupational group. It is necessary to improve subjective health status by improving health behaviors that greatly affect quality of life by occupation and to help manage mental health to cope with stress and prevent suicidal ideation. 본 연구는 2019년 국민건강영양조사 데이터를 활용하여 국내 생산가능인구의 직군별 건강관련 삶의 질의 관련요인을 규명하고자 하였다. 직군별로 건강관련 삶의 질의 5가지 차원을 파악함으로써 직군별 건강관리 프로그램 개발의 기초자료를 제공하고자 한다. 본 연구는 2차 자료분석 연구로 대상자는 생산가능인구 4,144명(만 19세 이상 ∼ 65세 미만)을 white, blue, others 직군으로 분류하여 최종분석하였고 SPSS 26.0을 활용하여 교착분석, 다변량 로지스틱 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 주관적 건강상태, 자살생각 및 스트레스 인지는 모든 직군의 건강관련 삶의 질에 영향을 미친 공통요인이었고, 특히 white 군에서는 수면시간이, blue 군에서는 체질량지수가, others 군에서는 체질량지수, 수면시간, 흡연이 건강관련 삶의 질의 주요 관련 요인이었다. 직군별 건강관련 삶의 질 관련 요인은 차이가 있는 것으로 나타나 직군별 삶의 질에 부정적인 영향을 미치는 건강행태를 개선하여 주관적 건강상태를 향상시키고 스트레스에 대처하고 자살생각을 예방하기 위한 정신건강 관리가 필요하다.

Objectives: This study aimed to assess the socio-economic inequalities in the self-rated oral health status in the study group of South Koreans, as associated with other factors (health behaviors factors, psychological factors, and oral health status) on the social gradients in the self-rated oral health status. Methods: The cross-sectional data was from the Forth Korea National Health & Nutrition Examination Survey. Subjects were 18,886 people over the age of 6 years who participated in the health interview, dental examination, and dietary survey. They were divided into four groups according to their life course: children (6-11 years), adolescents (12-18 years), adults (19-64 years), and the elderly (65 years and older). The income and education level brackets were selected as measures of socio-economic position (SEP). The complex samples logistic regression models were used to analyze the data. To assess the association of the other factors, additional models (which adjusted for the gender, age, and each of the other factors) were compared to the initial model (which adjusted for the gender and age only). Results: We found that there were socio-economic differences in the self-rated oral health status at all stages of life, and that the differences were up sharply for the vulnerable social groups. Dental care utilization factors and the oral health status mainly affected the socio-economic inequalities of the poor self-rated oral health status group at all stages of life. Socio-eoconomic differences remained statistically significant in the models that controlled for all related factors except the models of household income in adults. Conclusions: There were socio-economic differences in the poor self-rated oral health status at all stages of life. But it is difficult to definitely confirm the pathway of socio-economic inequalities in the selfrated oral health status, because of the limitations of the cross sectional study and the use of restricted variables in this survey. Therefore more extensive longitudinal research is required to better address the pathways that explain the socio-economic inequalities in the self-rated oral health status throughout the life courses in the Republic of Korea.

Objectives: The aim of the present study is to investigate the relationship between health behavior and general health status. Methods: We used data from the 2011 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Mental health was measured by stress recognition and depression. Dietary habit was measured by mixed grain diet. Life pattern was measured by sleeping time and working pattern. Physical activity was measured by walking and exercise. We defined general health status as Euro Quality of Life-5 Dimension (EQ-5D<SUB>index</SUB>), Euro Quality of Life Visual Analogue Scale (EQ-5D<SUB>vas</SUB>), number of people experienced lying in a sickbed for the last one month, number of days lying in a sickbed for the last one month, and activity limitations. Results: Mental health, dietary habit, life pattern, and physical activity have seven factors. Most of the factors have a significant correlation with EQ-5D<SUB>index</SUB>, EQ-5D<SUB>vas</SUB>, number of people experienced lying in a sickbed for the last one month, number of days lying in a sickbed for the last one month, and activity limitations. Conclusion: Health behavior and general health status have a positive correlation.

Yun Sungha,Oh Kyungwon 한국역학회 2022 Epidemiology and Health Vol.44 No.-

The Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) is a national health survey that is conducted annually to assess the health and and health-related behaviors of Korean population. To utilize KNHANES data to studies of mortality risk factors, the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency (KDCA) constructed a database linking KNHANES data to cause-of-death statistics in Statistics Korea, made available to researchers since 2020. The KNHANES data were linked to the Cause of Death Statistics based on resident registration numbers for subjects aged 19 years or older who agreed to link the data. The linkage rate between 2007-2015 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey and 2007-2019 Cause of Death Statistics was 97.1%. In the linked dataset, the total death rate was 6.6%, of which neoplasms accounted for the highest death rate (32.1%), followed by circulatory system disease (22.7%) and respiratory system disease (11.5%). The linked dataset was made available through the Research Data Center of the KDCA after a review of the research proposal, and will be made available after periodical updates.

전누리,김민수,양정민,김재현 한국보건행정학회 2024 보건행정학회지 Vol.34 No.2

Background: This study aimed to identified the relationship between the risk of obstructive sleep apnea, subjective health, and health-relatedquality of life among the middle-aged and elderly population in Korea. Methods: Adults aged 40 or older were extracted from the total 22,559 respondents to the 2019–2020 Korea National Health and NutritionExamination Survey VIII, and secondary analysis was conducted on a total of 6,659 middle-aged and elderly people with no missing values. Logistic regression analysis and multiple regression analysis were conducted to examine the relationship between obstructive sleep apnea riskfactors and subjective health as well as quality of life. Results: The subjective health status decline in the high-risk group compared to the non-risk group for obstructive sleep apnea was statisticallysignificantly higher, with an odds ratio of 1.84 (p<0.001). The health-related quality of life was also statistically significantly lower by 0.02 points(β, –0.02; p<0.001). As a result of subgroup analysis on specific variables, the association between the risk of obstructive sleep apnea andsubjective health and health-related quality of life was statistically significant depending on gender, sleep time, presence of depression,household income, and number of household members. Based on the obstructive sleep apnea risk group, women had a higher correlation withlow subjective health and lower health-related quality of life scores than men. Sleeping time of more than 8 hours or less than 6 hours was moreassociated with low subjective health and lower health-related quality of life score than sleeping time of 6–8 hours. Patients with depressionwere more likely to have low subjective health than those without depression. The lower the household income level and the smaller thenumber of household members, the higher the association with low subjective health and the lower the health-related quality of life score. Conclusion: It is essential to recognize that the risk of obstructive sleep apnea not only directly affects sleep disorders but also impactsindividuals’ subjective health and quality of life. Consequently, social support and education should be provided to raise awareness of this issue. Particularly, programs for preventing and managing obstructive sleep apnea should target vulnerable groups such as women, individuals insingle-person households, low household income, and those with depression, aiming to improve their subjective health and quality of life.

이지은(Ji Eun Lee),김창주(Chang Zoo Kim),남기엽(Ki Yup Nam),이승욱(Seung Uk Lee),이상준(Sang Joon Lee) 대한안과학회 2017 대한안과학회지 Vol.58 No.11

목적: 사시 질환은 어느 연령대에서도 발병 가능하며 다양한 기능적 또는 비기능적 안과적 문제를 발생시킬 수 있다. 인구 기반 연구를 통해 다양한 인구역학적 요인에 따른 한국의 사시, 눈떨림 등을 포함한 사시 질환의 유병률을 확인하고자 한다. 대상과 방법: 2008년 7월부터 2011년 12월까지 실시된 국민건강영양조사(National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, n=30,538)의 자료를 사용하여 분석하였다. 사시와 눈떨림의 유병률을 파악하고, 관련된 인구역학적 요인에 대해 평가하였다. 결과: 3세 이상에서 사시 및 눈떨림 환자의 전체 유병률은 1.4 ± 0.1% (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.3-1.6%, 남자 1.5 ± 0.1%, 여자 1.3 ± 0.1%)였다. 외사시(15프리즘디옵터 이상), 내사시(10프리즘디옵터 이상), 수직 편위, 기타 복잡한 사시 및 눈떨림의 유병률은 각각 1.0%, 0.2%, 0.2%, 0.1% 및 0.1%였다. 유병률은 6–15세 연령층에서 가장 높았으며(1.9 ± 0.3%), 40–49세(0.8 ± 0.1%)에서 가장 낮았다(p=0.005). 성별, 지역, 주거 지역, 가구 소득, 교육 수준 및 직업과 관련하여 통계적으로 유의한 차이는 없었다. 결론: 국민건강영양조사 자료를 분석한 결과 한국의 인구역학적 요인에 따른 사시 질환의 유병률은 연령 집단을 제외하고는 통계적으로 유의하지 않았다. 향후 사시 질환의 유병률과 관련된 추가적인 다른 보건 및 사회적 지표들의 검토가 유병률 연구에 도움이 될것으로 판단된다. Purpose: Strabismus affects any age and represents various functional or non-functional eye problems. This population-based study was conducted to determine the prevalence of strabismus and nystagmus in South Korea according to various sociodemographic factors. Methods: We acquired data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, a nation-wide cross-sectional survey and examinations of the non-institutionalized civilian population in South Korea (n = 30,538), conducted from July 2008 to December 2011. The prevalence of strabismus and nystagmus were verified, and associated sociodemographic factors was evaluated. Results: The overall prevalence of strabismic disorder in participants over 3 years of age was 1.4 ± 0.1% (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.3-1.6%; 1.5 ± 0.1% in males, 1.3 ± 0.1% in females). The prevalence of exodeviation (15 or more prism diopters), esodeviation (10 or more prism diopters), vertical deviation, and other complicated strabismus and nystagmus was 1.0%, 0.2%, 0.2%, 0.1% and 0.1% respectively. The prevalence was highest in the 6 to 15-year age group (1.9 ± 0.3%), and lowest in the 40 to 49 years age group (0.8 ± 0.1%) (p = 0.005). There were no statistically significant differences for gender, region, residential area, household income, educational level and occupation. Conclusions: This nation-wide epidemiologic study demonstrated that the prevalence of strabismus and nystagmus according to various sociodemographic factors in South Korea was not statistically significant except for age group. Further investigations are required based on more surveys to better recognize the etiologic or risk factors that may be related to strabismus and nystagmus.
