Relationship between Obesity and Prevalance of Adult Allergic Disease: The Sixth Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2013)

The purpose of this study was to identify the prevalence of asthma and related factors in Korean adults using national health statistics. Methods: This study used statistical data from the 2016 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. The subjects were 5,841 adults aged 19 years or older. The collected data included questions about general, health and disease-related characteristics. Data were analyzed by complex sample test and complex sample multiple logistic regression analysis with the SPSS/WIN 24.0 program. Results: The prevalence of asthma was 2.7%. Factors related to asthma were age (Odds Ratio [OR]=2.21, 95% Confidence Interval [CI]=1.32~3.70), depression (OR=2.62, 95% CI=1.41~4.86), allergic rhinitis (OR=3.51, 95% CI=2.26~5.45), and atopic dermatitis (OR=5.82, 95% CI=3.21~10.53). Conclusion: The results of this study showed that asthma-related factors in Korean adults were age, depression, allergic rhinitis and atopic dermatitis. Therefore, considering these factors, it may be helpful to educate about depression -related nursing intervention for asthma patients and to prevention of allergic antigen exposure for asthma patients.
