“…However, Jung et al [8]'s research on occupation demonstrated that the occupational injury risk level was higher in case of the agricultural and fishery workers (2.08 times), and plant and machine operators (3.08 times) compared to managers and professionals. Chang et al [10] claimed that when fatigue level increases, work related accident risk level increases.…”

“…As for the education level, the figure was high in case of those who graduated from university and those who graduated only from elementary school. Also, Jung et al [8] claimed that the men experienced higher risk of getting injured due to work compared to women by 2.33 times. Meanwhile, Jung et al [8] claimed that occupational injury risk was high in case of high school graduates (1.80 times) and junior high graduates (1.89 times) compared to university graduates when it comes to the injury risk level following education level.…”

The purpose of this study is to examine relationship between the accident and injury occurrence and the absence appearance in adults. Materials of this study were based on the raw data of "Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2011," which was conducted by the Ministry of Health and Welfare (MW) and Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in 2011. Totally 5904 people were targeted by selecting data without missing value in addition to age in more than 20 years old. And the appearance of absence through the occurrence of injury had the final subjects of absence targeting 379 people among 5904 people. An analytical method was made by using SPSS WIN program (Version 12.0). As a result of research, the occurrence of injury was higher (p < 0.01) in men than women. The age group was high in the 30s (about 1.5 times, p < 0.05) and the 40 s (about 1.9 times, p < 0.01). The higher in household income (about 1.5 times, p < 0.05) and educational level (about 1.6 times, p < 0.001) led to the higher occurrence of injury.As for the occurrence of absence, fall and slip (abut 1.8 times, p < 0.05) had higher absence than other accidents. As for a place of cure, the absence were higher (p < 0.001) in users of emergency room than entering hospital/clinic. Finally, the more bed-ridden led to the higher absence (p < 0.001).

“…Previous research conducted in Korea [26,30] identified young age, smoking, drinking, occupation, low educational level, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, liver disease, mental illness, dementia, Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, working hours, and working type as injury risk factors. The results from this study support such findings.…”

ObjectivesThe decrease or increase in sleep duration has recently been recognized as a risk factor for several diseases, including hypertension and obesity. Many studies have explored the relationship of decreased sleep durations and injuries, but few have examined the relationship between increased sleep duration and injury. The objective of this research is to identify the risk for injury associated with both decreased and increased sleep durations.MethodsData from the 2010 Community Health Survey were used in this study. We conducted logistic regression with average sleep duration as the independent variable, injury as a dependent variable, and controlling for age, sex, occupation, education, region (cities and provinces), smoking, alcohol use, body mass index, hypertension, diabetes, arthritis, and depression. Seven categories of sleep duration were established: ≤4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and ≥10 hours.ResultsUsing 7 hours of sleep as the reference, the adjusted injury risk (odds ratio) for those sleeping a total of ≤4 h/d was 1.53; 1.28 for 5 hours, for 1.11 for 6 hours, 0.98 for 8 hours, 1.12 for 9 hours, and 1.48 for ≥10 hours. The difference in risk was statistically significant for each category except for the 8 and 9 hours. In this study, risk increased as the sleep duration decreased or increased, except for the 8 and 9 hours.ConclusionsThis research found that either a decrease or increase in sleep duration was associated with an increased risk for injury. The concept of proper sleep duration can be evaluated by its associated injury risk.

ObjectivesThis study aims to investigate the relationship between the total injury experience rate and socioeconomic status based on the fourth Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES).MethodsBy analyzing data from the fourth KNHANES conducted from 2007 to 2009, we estimated the injury experience rate according to socioeconomic status, including the occupational characteristics of 11,837 subjects. Setting the injury experience rate as a dependent variable and socioeconomic status as an independent variable, we performed logistic regression to calculate odds ratios reflecting the likelihood of injury according to socioeconomic status while controlling for relevant covariates.ResultsIn 797 subjects who had injury experience over the past 1 year, 290 persons (36.4%) had a work-related injury. As their income, home value, and educational status increased, their injury experiences decreased. Among occupational groups, the craft, equipment, machine operating, and assembling workers showed the highest rate (10.6%) of injury experience, and the lowest rate (5.7%) was found in the unemployed group. After adjusting for the confounding variables, the experience of injury was significantly related to several socioeconomic factors: high income (OR = 0.54; 95% CI: 0.34-0.86), high home value (OR = 0.65; 95% CI: 0.43-0.96), low education status (OR = 1.28; 95% CI: 1.07-1.52), and specific occupations such as craft, equipment, machine operating, and assembling work (OR = 1.99; 95% CI: 1.60-2.47), skilled agriculture, forestry and fishery work (OR = 1.43; 95% CI: 1.02-2.01), and simple labor (OR = 1.38; 95% CI: 1.04-1.82).ConclusionsThe injury experience rate differed depending on the socioeconomic status. A negative correlation was found between the injury experience rate and income, low home value, and education level. Moreover, a higher rate of injury experience was found in occupation groups and physical worker groups in comparison to the unemployed group and white-collar worker groups. This study would be useful in selecting appropriate priorities for injury management in Korea.
