Associations between hospital admission frequency and household financial outcomes in Korea
Health shocks within families affect not only individual patients but also their entire household, across various economic and psychological dimensions. Rising hospital admissions are strongly associated with increased medical expenditures that strain household finances, with larger relative financial strain among lower-income households. However, the broader socioeconomic consequences of these shocks have yet to be sufficiently investigated, lea…
From guidelines to bedside - insomnia treatment practices in South Korea
Pharmacological treatments dominate insomnia management in South Korea, with CBT-I being underutilized. Future efforts should focus on integrating non-pharmacological treatment into routine practice and exploring treatment risks and effectiveness based on patient demographics

Collateral impact of the Covid−19 pandemic on the use of healthcare resources among people with disabilities
Objective: We assessed the collateral impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on healthcare service use among people with disabilities. Methods: We utilized the COVID-19 database from the Korean National Health Insurance Service claims from 2015 until June 2020. We included 5,850 people with disabilities and matched 5,850 without disabilities among those who were neither tested nor diagnosed with COVID-19. We used a quasi-experimental setting with a COVI…
Risk of Hypertension and Type 2 Diabetes in Relation to Changes in Alcohol Consumption
Little is known about the risk of hypertension and type 2 diabetes in relation to changes in frequency and amount of alcohol consumption. This study investigated associations between changes in alcohol consumption and the risk of both conditions. This study included 96,129 individuals without hypertension and/or diabetes mellitus aged ≥ 20 years between 2006 and 2008, with follow-up until 31 December 2015. This study identified 29,043 and 18,784 …
Delay in Vaccine Access in Asean Countries
Background: The introduction of new vaccines has been delayed in some countries in the Asia-Pacific region, which has led to delays in accessing vaccines for target patients. However, the approval lag of vaccines in the Asia-Pacific region has not been assessed. The objective of this study is to assess the availability and approval lag of vaccines in Asia-Pacific countries and compare them among Asia-Pacific countries, the United States (US), and…
Drug Lag and Associated Factors for Approved Drugs in Korea Compared with the United States
(1) Background: Drug lag, the delay between the first global regulatory approval and approval by the national health authorities in other countries, impacts the accessibility of drugs. Although the Korean pharmaceutical market has grown significantly, most of its innovative drugs for public health depend on imports from foreign pharmaceutical markets. (2) Methods: We extracted data from the official websites of the Korean Ministry of Food and Dru…
Effect of the age of visual impairment onset on employment outcomes in South Korea
In prime-aged adults, higher monthly wages among permanent employees showed that they were more likely to continue their original work, whereas in late-middle-aged adults, adult-onset disabilities were associated with a higher employment rate and higher wages for temporary jobs, suggesting the need for further investigation into job quality. These findings indicate a need for differentiated policy approaches considering the onset age of visual im…

Impact of Obesity on Employment and Wages among Young Adults
This paper assesses the relationship between obesity and the job market by focusing on young adults early on in their careers, while considering the factor of gender and the individuals' job qualifications. This study extracted data on high school students for four years from the Korean Education and Employment Panel (from 2010 to 2013), a nationally representative dataset comprising of 2000 middle school students and 4000 high school seniors. Th…
The Moderation of Obesity Penalty on Job Market Outcomes by Employment Efforts
The current study explores the moderation of the relationship between obesity and labor market outcomes by direct employment efforts such as job hunting and job training of young adults. The study used data provided by the Korean Education and Employment Panel, a longitudinal data survey comprising middle and high school students from 2004 to 2015. Two dependent variables were assessed in this study: employment status and wage. The individual-lev…
Assessment of the validity of multiple obesity indices compared with obesity-related co-morbidities
Objective The aim of the present study was to compare selected obesity indicators with comprehensive health status. Design The study employed a pooled cross-sectional design. Setting BMI, waist circumference, waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) and body fat percentage were considered as indirect obesity indicators. The Edmonton Obesity Staging System (EOSS) was used as a composite indicator to comprehensively reflect obesity-related co-morbidities. Cohe…
Associations between body shape, body adiposity and other indices
Background: A Body Shape Index (ABSI) and the Body Adiposity Index (BAI) are used to quantify body shape for adults. However, only a few studies have been conducted confirming whether ABSI or BAI is a better index for predicating hypertension and pre-hypertension in Chinese children and adolescents. Aim: To estimate scaling exponents for using ABSI with Chinese children and adolescents, comparing body shape indices used for predicting hypertensio…
Body Mass Index and Self-Employment in South Korea
This study assesses differential labour performance by body mass index (BMI), focusing on heterogeneity across three distinct employment statuses: unemployed, self-employed and salaried. Data were drawn from the Korean Labor and Income Panel Study. The final sample included 15,180 person-year observations (9645 men and 5535 women) between 20 and 65 years of age. The findings show that (i) overweight/obese women are less likely to have salaried jo…

Breakfast consumption and depressive mood
Entry Body Mass and Earnings
It has previously been reported that an individual's body mass index (BMI) contemporaneously penalizes wages for women, but has no effect and sometimes rewards wages for men. In young adults, we estimate the association of BMI status with initial wages to assess whether initial BMI at the beginning of an individual's career affects initial and later earnings. We pooled data from 388 men and 305 women, aged 20-40 years, with BMI information for th…
Impact of body mass on job quality
Health care utilization and costs among medical-aid enrollees, the poor not enrolled in medical-aid, and the near poor in South Korea
Given the particularly low rate of the population enrolled in Medical-Aid, similarly economically vulnerable groups are more likely to face barriers to needed health services. Meeting the health needs of these groups is an important consideration
Associations between soda prices and intake
Consumption Patterns of Sugar-Sweetened Beverages in the United States
Beverage consumption and individual-level associations in South Korea
South Korea is following the global nutrition transition toward greater consumption of SSBs. However, unlike other developed countries, SSB consumption prevalence was higher among high-SES individuals, particularly for fruit drinks and miscellaneous SSBs. Further research is needed to build the international evidence base
Heterogeneity in TV Fast Food Advertisement Exposure in South Korea
Future studies should assess the link between TV fast ood ad exposure, an important contextual factor for individual food choices, and actual consumption
