“…In terms of household income, the one-person households had lower incomes, and lower educational levels with 56.0% of the students being elementary school graduates or below. These interfamily characteristics showed results in the same context as other studies related to one-person households 1,11) and showed the same trends when compared to men and women.…”

“…The family structure in Korea has changed from the traditional large family center to the nuclear family form due to industrialization and urbanization, and recently, the number of one-person households living alone, and the nuclear family has increased rapidly. 1) According to the National Statistical Office, more than one-third of Korea's population is estimated to be one-person households: 15.5% in 2000, 29.3% in 2018, and 34.3% in 2035. 2) The increase in one-person households is an inevitable social phenomenon caused by changes in social structure such as industrial reorganization and changes in values.…”

“…Although there are many studies focusing on socio-demographic factors [ 3 ], nutritional behavior [ 8 , 9 ], quality of life [ 5 , 10 ], and satisfaction [ 6 ], there are only few studies focusing on health factors. Such studies only conducted short analysis for general health status [ 1 , 11 , 12 ], mental health [ 13 - 18 ], and oral health status. In addition, since only one one-person elderly household is analyzed, there are not many studies comparing the characteristics of one-person and multi-person households.…”

Background: Among the issues caused by the increase of one-person households the health problems and primary medical needs of one-person elderly households among the issues with the increase in one-person households is very important. The purpose of this study was to identified health care needs and problems of one-person elderly households by comparing health behavior, health status, disease prevalence rate, and medical needs to one-person elderly households and multi-person households. Methods: Data were obtained from the 2017 Community Health Survey. In this study, 66,211 people who were over 60 years of age without missing variables were included in the final analysis. Results: One-person households showed poorer overall health behaviors, such as nutritional behaviors, exercise behaviors, drinking and smoking behaviors, and poorer subjective and objective health status than multi-person households. Furthermore, albeit the high requirement of medical services for mental health outcomes such as suicide attempts, the rate of not receiving services was also high indicating high barriers to receive and access health care. Conclusion: Comprehensive and direct comparison of health and medical factors revealed the medical vulnerability and unmet needs in terms of health promotion in the single-person elderly households. These results can be applied as the basic information to understand the needs and medical problems of these risk groups by primary medical doctors who predominantly treat single-person elderly households and can also be used as basic data for policy development in order to solve these unmet medical care needs.

This study examined gender differences in health behaviors for the risk of metabolic syndrome (MetS) among middle-aged adults using nationally representative data from the Seventh Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2016–2018). The sample included data from 8677 middle-aged adults. The Health Practice Index measured health behaviors, including smoking, alcohol use, physical activity, sleeping, eating breakfast, working hours, nutritionally balanced diet, and mental stress. Complex sample multiple logistic regression analyses were conducted to determine the association between the Health Practice Index (HPI) and MetS. Men and women with poor or moderate HPI scores had significantly higher risks of having MetS than those with good HPI scores. Controlling for covariates, high-risk alcohol use (p < 0.001) and physical activity (p = 0.008) were associated with the risk of MetS in men and women, respectively. Men reporting alcohol use and women lacking a healthy diet were, respectively, 2.056 times (adjusted odds ratio (OR) = 2.056, 95% CI: 1.681–2.514) and 1.306 times (adjusted OR = 1.306, 95% CI: 1.075–1.587) more likely to have increased risks of MetS. Given these gender differences in health behaviors, developing tailored interventions could be beneficial in preventing MetS among middle-aged men and women.
