Abstract

In this study we conducted a questionnaire survey by purposive quota sampling(n=566) by status of workers(permanent workers, temporary workers and business owners) and age group(20-59 years old) for single households engaged in economic activities in order to compare the health behaviors and health checking by employment type and age. By employment type, the sleep time of permanent workers was significantly less than that of other groups(p<0.001), and the rates of health and oral examinations in permanent workers were significantly higher(p<0.001). By age group, as the age increased, the oral condition was worse(p<0.001), but the rates of not taking oral examinations were significantly higher(p=0.023). This study can be meaningful as basic data for making a healthy living environment according to various characteristics of single households.

1인가구주의 고용형태 및 연령에 따라 건강관련 생활습관 및 검진행태에 차이가 있는지를 비교하기 위하여, 경제활동을 하고 있는 1인가구를 대상으로 종사상지위(정규직, 비정규직, 사업자) 및 연령별(20-59세)로 층화추출하여 설문조사를 실시하였다(총 566명). 고용형태별로 보면 정규직의 경우 수면시간은 다른 집단에 비하여 유의하게 적은 반면(p<0.001), 건강검진 및 구강검진 비율은 유의하게 높았다(p<0.001). 연령별로 보면, 연령이 높을수록 구강상태가 나빴음에도 불구하고(p<0.001), 구강검진을 받지 않은 비율은 유의하게 높았다(p=0.023). 본 연구는 1인가구주의 고용형태 및 연령에 따른 건강행태 차이에 대한 기초자료를 제공함으로써 1인가구주의 다양한 특성에 따른 건강생활 환경을 만드는 기초자료로 의의가 있을 것이다.
