Nationwide analysis of demographic and socioeconomic inequities in air pollution exposure in Korea, 2006–2019
Background Air pollution is a significant global health challenge, yet few studies have examined how the effects of exposure to environmental pollutants vary across demographic and socioeconomic groups. This study aims to investigate the distribution of air pollutants by demographics and socioeconomic status (SES), accounting for individual monthly residential mobility. Methods Individual annual exposures were estimated by linking monthly residen…
The Risk of Major Depressive Disorder Due to Cataracts among the Korean Elderly Population
Cataracts and major depressive disorder (MDD) both have high prevalence, representing for major health burdens globally. In this study, we examined the risk of MDD due to cataracts. Data from the 2016 to 2018 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) were used, including 4122 participants. Logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate the odds ratio for MDD in association with cataracts. Controlled variables were a…
Effects of Occupational and Leisure-Time Physical Activities on Insomnia in Korean Firefighters
Studies have been conducted on the association between physical activity (PA) and sleep, but to the best of our knowledge, a simultaneous analysis of the effects of occupational PA (OPA) and leisure time PA (LTPA) on South Korean firefighters' sleep has never been conducted. This study aims to analyze how OPA and LTPA affect these individuals' risk of suffering from insomnia with-in this specific population of subjects. The study includes data fr…
Association between Shift Work and Neurocognitive Function among Firefighters in South Korea
Background : Recent research indicates that shift work is associated with neurocognitive function. However, studies that examine the association between shift work and neurocognitive function in firefighters have not yet been performed. We examined the effect of shift work on neurocognitive function in firefighters by measuring and comparing neurocognitive function before and after night shift. Methods : 352 firefighters from eight fire stations …
The Development of a Sleep Intervention for Firefighters
Background : Firefighters are vulnerable to irregular sleep patterns and sleep disturbance due to work characteristics such as shift work and frequent dispatch. However, there are few studies investigating intervention targeting sleep for firefighters. This preliminary study aimed to develop and test a sleep intervention, namely FIT-IN (Firefighter's Therapy for Insomnia and Nightmares), which was based on existing evidence-based treatment tailor…
Comparison of Cortisol level by Shift Cycle in Korean Firefighters
(1) Study Objectives: By investigating the change of cortisol levels during shift cycles among professional firefighters in Korea, this study aims to evaluate the difference between individuals' stress response and the recovery of their circadian rhythm after working night shifts. (2) Methods: A total of 325 shift firefighters, who were working in 3, 6, 9, or 21 day cycles, participated in the study. Their urinary and serum cortisol levels were m…
Comparison of a 10-Year Cumulative Age-Standardized Incidence Rate of Lung Cancer among Metropolitan Cities in Korea (During the 2000–2009 Period)
In Korea, lung cancer is a common cancer, and has the highest mortality rate in both males and females. Approximately 80% of lung cancer is due to smoking, and the remaining cases are known to be due to genetic factors, history of respiratory disease, infection, diet, and occupational and environmental factors. Since the occupational and environmental hazards may differ from region to region, the lung cancer risk may differ too. To identify this,…
Influence of Transportation Noise and Noise Sensitivity on Annoyance
Environmental noise is known to cause noise annoyance. Since noise annoyance is a subjective indicator, other mediators-such as noise sensitivity-may influence its perception. However, few studies have thus far been conducted on noise annoyance in South Korea that consider noise sensitivity and noise level simultaneously. The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlations between noise sensitivity or noise level and noise annoyance on a large…
