Cognitive vulnerability and social support among aging women caregivers
< .001), roughly equivalent to two to three years of age-related decline, while higher education and more frequent social interactions mitigated these effects. Social support, measured by the frequency of meetings with friends or neighbors, moderated the caregiving-cognition association, suggesting a protective gradient. These findings highlight the cumulative cognitive burden associated with repeated caregiving involvement and underscore the nee…
Unmet healthcare needs and the local extinction index
Background: This study examines the factors affecting unmet healthcare experiences by integrating individual-and community-level extinction indices. Methods: Using spatial autocorrelation and multilevel modeling, the study utilizes data from the Community Health Survey and Statistics Korea for 218 local government regions from 2018 to 2019. Results: The analysis identifies significant clustering, particularly in non-metropolitan regions with a hi…
Regional disparities in health literacy for chronic diseases
Objective: This study compared disparities between community health characteristics and health literacy levels for hypertension and diabetes by combining community-level characteristics, such as the local extinction index and healthcare resources, with individual-level characteristics based on the Andersen healthcare utilization model. Method: Data obtained from the 2017, 2019, and 2021 Community Health Surveys, Korean Statistical Information Ser…
A Longitudinal Cohort Study of Adolescent Social Network Positions and Lifetime Daily Smoking and Nicotine Dependence
This study investigated the extent to which adolescent social network positions are associated with the risk of lifetime daily smoking and nicotine dependence (ND), and whether these associations differ by gender. Using data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health ( N = 6,267), this study estimated multinomial logistic regression models. An increase in in-degree nominations, out-degree nominations, and Bonacich centrali…
Who loses more? Identifying the relationship between hospitalization and income loss
Non-standard and self-employed workers, and even female standard workers, are typically excluded from public insurance coverage in South Korea, and social security is insufficient when they are injured. To protect workers from the vicious circle of the poverty-health trap, national social protections such as sickness benefits are needed
Suicide among Older Adults with Dementia
South Korea recently expanded its coverage rate of long-term care insurance (LTCI) by adding a "dementia special grade" in 2014 to improve care service accessibility and extend health life for older adults with dementia. In this study, we propose a multifaceted policy to reduce the suicide risk among older adults with dementia by evaluating the effectiveness of using the long-term care services (LTCS). A sample of 62,282 older adults was selected…
Self-Rated Health Status Based on the Type of Health Insurance
To investigate the effects of public and private health insurance on self-rated health (SRH) status within the National Health Insurance (NHI) system based on socioeconomic status in South Korea. The data were obtained from 10 867 respondents of the Korea Health Panel (2008-2011). We used hierarchical panel logistic regression models to assess the SRH status. We also added the interaction terms of socioeconomic status and type of health insurance…
Unmet dental care needs of homeless adults in South Korea
This study identifies the key factors underlying the unmet dental care needs of South Korean homeless adults that obstructed their dental service access. We analysed data from 551 Korea Homeless Survey respondents (17 years and older) who reported having an oral disease in the previous 12 months. We conducted multiple logistic regression analyses to examine the factors associated with homeless individuals' unmet dental care needs, using weights t…
The impact of long-term care service on total lifetime medical expenditure among older adults with dementia
Estimating Lifetime Dental Care Expenditure in South Korea
The aim of this study was to measure the magnitude and distribution of a Korean's lifetime dental expenses depending on age and sex, by constructing a hypothetical lifetime and life table of survival. Additionally, we estimated the difference in life expectancy between men and women and its impact on dental expenses. We used the 2015 Korea Health Panel Survey to calculate the total dental expenditure, including expenses paid directly by patients …
Has the long-term care insurance resolved disparities in mortality for older Koreans? examination of service type and income level
Children’s Dental Sealant Use and Caries Prevalence Affected by National Health Insurance Policy Change
We evaluated the effect of the National Health Insurance (NHI) policy including dental sealant on changes in the prevalence of sealant and caries, and examined how NHI affected sealant utilization and untreated caries in children from diverse income groups in South Korea. We used a multivariate logistic regression analysis to explore the effects of three stages of dental sealant policy (pre-policy: 2007-2009, first post-policy: 2010-2012, and sec…
Sitting Time and Obesity or Abdominal Obesity in Older South Koreans
We examined relationships between sitting time and obesity or abdominal obesity according to sex and socioeconomic status in elderly people. We analyzed data from the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2013, and 1565 participants were included in the study. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to examine relationships between sitting time and obesity or abdominal obesity according to sex and socioeconomic status…
