코로나19 이후 생활습관 변화에 따른 주관적 건강상태: 연령대 별 집단 차이

Abstract

Objectives: This study aimed to observe the relationship between a lifestyle change and self-rated health among Korean adults during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: We included 229,046 individuals aged 19 years or older from the 2020 Community Health Survey. Self-rated health was evaluated using a self-reported questionnaire and measured using an ordinary measure. This study examined the association between self-rated health and lifestyle behavior change using a binary logistic regression. In addition, we conducted the relationship between lifestyle behavior change and self-rated health stratified by age. Results: The reduction of physical activity had a negative impact on self-rated health among people aged 20 to 29 years. An increasing intake of delivery food was associated with bad self-rated health in people aged 30 to 49 years. In the 60 years and older age group, there was a significant association between decreased physical activity and low self-rated health. Furthermore, frequent meetings with people led to low self-rated health. Conclusion: Changes in lifestyle after the COVID-19 pandemic affected self-rated health. Therefore, individuals should try to enhance their health status. Also, the government should support and promote people who need a healthy lifestyle behavior program.
