Partners' Long Work Hours and Changes in New Parents' Employment Over 40 Years
The Role of Extended Family in Asian American Women’s Employment from 1990 to 2022
Prior research suggests that extended family living arrangements may contribute to Asian women’s labor-market advantage over White women. However, our understanding of the role that extended family plays in Asian women’s employment across ethnicity, immigrant generation, and time periods remain limited. Using the Census (1990, 2000) and the American Community Survey (2001–2022), we compare employment patterns of the five largest Asian groups—Asia…
Trends in depressive episodes in pre-, intra-, and post-Covid-19 pandemic periods among South Korean adults
The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about significant social changes that could potentially affect mental health. This study aimed to examine the association between specific periods of the pandemic and depressive symptoms in South Korean adults. We used cross-sectional data from 1,376,438 participants involved in the 2019–2024 Korean Community Health Survey. The pandemic period was categorized into pre-COVID-19 (2019), intra-COVID-19 (2020–2022), …
State-level gender inequality and couples’ relative earnings following parenthood over four decades
Regional population decline and health screening uptake in Korean adults
Background: Health screening is crucial for detecting medical needs and presenting effective alternatives. As Korea undergoes rapid demographic shifts and widening regional gaps, screening is increasingly important to identify these needs. This study explores how changes in regional population size related to health screening uptake among Korean adults. Methods: Data on 182,437 adults from the 2021 Korean Community Health Survey (KCHS) were used,…
Information Landscape on Cervical Cancer
This study examined the information landscape on cervical cancer by employing the extended cancer infodemiology framework and integrated analysis. We analyzed and compared news articles and online platform posts as the two primary sources of health information regarding cancer. Data were collected from BigKinds, a news article database, and blogs and café posts on Naver, which dominates the health information search market in Korea. We analyzed 6…
Occupational Overwork and the Transition to Self-Employment
Examining couples as joint decision makers offers valuable insights into gender disparities, yet the literature has largely overlooked the transition to a key alternative work arrangement: self-employment. Using couple-matched data from the 2015–2024 Current Population Survey, the author investigates how the collective decisions of couples are linked to the shift toward self-employment and how these patterns are moderated by parenthood and occupa…
Global age-sex-specific mortality, life expectancy, and population estimates in 204 countries and territories and 811 subnational locations, 1950–2021, and the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic
BACKGROUND: Estimates of demographic metrics are crucial to assess levels and trends of population health outcomes. The profound impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on populations worldwide has underscored the need for timely estimates to understand this unprecedented event within the context of long-term population health trends. The Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2021 provides new demographic estimates for 204 cou…
The association between health literacy and screening for disease-specific complications among community-dwelling adults with diabetes
Introduction: Diabetic retinopathy and nephropathy are examples of complications of uncontrolled diabetes. We hypothesized that health literacy has a defining role in understanding the importance of attending routine screening for diabetes complications. Therefore, our study investigated the relationship between verbal health literacy (VHL) and written health literacy (WHL) and screening for disease-specific complications in individuals with diab…
Global, regional, and national burden of diabetes from 1990 to 2021, with projections of prevalence to 2050
BACKGROUND: Diabetes is one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide, and affects people regardless of country, age group, or sex. Using the most recent evidentiary and analytical framework from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD), we produced location-specific, age-specific, and sex-specific estimates of diabetes prevalence and burden from 1990 to 2021, the proportion of type 1 and type 2 diabetes…
Increasing disparities in the proportions of active treatment and 5-year overall survival over time by age groups among older patients with gastric cancer in Korea
Purpose: As older patients with gastric cancer increase in Korea, no consensus indicative of anti-cancer treatment exists for the oldest old (age 85+). We investigated potential disparities in the proportion of surgery-including active treatment and the degree of survival improvement over time by age groups, and whether heterogeneity exists in the protective effect of time period on overall survival (OS) by age at diagnosis clusters. Materials an…
The Association between Perceived Discrimination and Mental Health of Wage Workers with Disabilities
Despite efforts to integrate society, persons with disabilities (PWD) still experience considerable discrimination. Therefore, this study examined the association between experiences of discrimination and stress/depressive symptoms in wage working PWD. This study used data from the Panel Survey of Employment for the Disabled 2016-2018 in South Korea. This study included 1566 wage working PWD aged 15-64. The dependent variable was stress and depre…
Association between Sexual Behavior and Depression in South Korean Adolescents
Adolescent depression and suicide have become leading public health and socioeconomic problems. Determining the connection between adolescent behavior and depression can inform strategies to reduce the prevalence of depression and suicide. We investigated the association between sexual behavior and depression in South Korean adolescents. Data for this cross-sectional study were obtained from the 2017-2019 Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-Based Surve…
The effect of depression status change on daily cigarette smoking amount according to sex
We found that a change from depressed to non-depressed and non-depressed to depressed status is associated with decreasing and increasing DCA among men, respectively. Also, for smokers who began smoking before 19 years of age, the subgroup that went from depressed to non-depressed had much a lower DCA than general smokers. Thus, when treating people participating in smoking cessation programs, counsellors should check for depression symptoms and …
Association Between the Location of Secondhand Smoke Exposure and Depressive Symptoms among South Korean Adolescents
The incidence of depression among adolescents has gradually increased, leading to adult psychological outcomes and suicide. Although the rate of secondhand smoke exposure (SHSE) has recently decreased, SHSE remains high in children. We aimed to determine the association between depressive symptoms in adolescents and the locations of SHSE using an extensive population survey. Using data from the 14th Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-based Survey, we …
The Effect of Socioeconomic Status on All-Cause Maternal Mortality
Improving maternal health is one of the 13 targets of Sustainable Development Goal 3; consequently, preventing maternal death, which usually occurs in women's prime productive years, is an important issue that needs to be addressed immediately. This study examines the association between socioeconomic status and all-cause maternal mortality in South Korea and provides evidence of preventable risk factors for maternal death. For this population-ba…
The Association of Smoking Exposure at Home with Attempts to Quit Smoking and Cessation Success
This study aimed to examine the association of smoking exposure at home with attempts to quit smoking and the success or failure of such attempts among South Korean adolescents. We utilized the data of 28,652 South Korean adolescents who smoked from the 2015-2017 Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-based Survey, including demographic variables (age, sex, and family structure), socioeconomic variables (allowance per week, household income level, and gra…
Association of Bedtime with both Suicidal Ideation and Suicide Planning among Korean Adolescents
We found that, among adolescents, going to bed after 01:30 is significantly associated with suicidal ideation and suicide planning, after adjusting for demographic, socioeconomic, and health-related characteristics. Therefore, late bedtime should be the timepoint of a suicide intervention for adolescents, in order to prevent developing suicidal ideations and suicide planning
