Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine the associations among self-rated health and socioeconomic status. Methods: Analyses were conducted based on cross-sectional data obtained from the Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-based Survey. A total of 79,202 students aged 12 to 18 years participated in the study and there was a response rate of 95.5%. Separate logistic regression analyses were performed on each gender group based on a set of independent variables. Those being: the level of parental education level; family affluence scale; subjective household economic status; and subjective school achievement with SRH as the dependent variable. Results: Multivariate analyses revealed significant associations between each SES and adolescent SRH after controlling for other covariates. However, in the models that included all SES indicators, subjective household economic status and subjective school achievement remained significant in boys and girls. Conclusions: The findings demonstrated that subjective SES indicators are more closely related to adolescent SRH when compared with objective indicators.

The purposes of this study were to identify the most explainable socioeconomic variables influencing clothing selection criteria, and to explore the difference in the clothing seletion criteria among the groups with status inconsistencies. A questionnaire was developed to collect data for clothing selection criteria, and socioeconomic status. Socioeconomic status was measured by education and occupation of husband and wife, and family income. Status inconsistency was defined by the inconsistencies among education, income and occupation. Data were obtained from 369 housewives living in Seoul area. The results of this study were as follows: 1) The education of housewives was the most important variable influencing clothing selection criteria. 2) When the subjects were divided into three groups according to their status inconsistency group, there were partially significant differneces among groups in clothing selection criteria. The "overprivileged" status group attached more importance to the fashionability and psychological dependence than the other status group. The "underprivileged" status group attached more importance to the practicality and ecnomy than the other status group. And when the subject were divided into three groups according to their social mobility, there were sgnificant differences among groups in clothing selection criteria.

Purpose: This study identified socioeconomic factors affecting the health status of Korean adults. Methods: Secondary data from 12,921 adults aged 19 to 64 old in the 7th Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were used. The participants' health status was measured using the indicators that included health behaviors (smoking, high-risk drinking, strength exercise, and aerobic physical activity) and health outcomes (metabolic syndrome, and subjective health status). Results: For all health behaviors and health outcomes, gender, age, educational level, and income were common affecting factors. Regarding health behaviors, the employment status was related to smoking, high-risk drinking, strength exercise, and aerobic physical activity. The marital status was related to high-risk drinking, strength exercise, and aerobic physical activity. The household type was related to smoking. The residential area was related to smoking, high-risk drinking, and aerobic physical activity. For health outcomes, the household type was related to obesity, and subjective health status; residential area was related to obesity. Conclusion: This study presented basic data for assessing the differences in health status. The characteristics of the affecting factors to health status should be considered, depending on the health behaviors and health outcomes.

The purpose of this research was to analyze the trajectory of child's academic attainment and the effect of family socioeconomic background on the trajectory. Data were part of the Korea Youth Panel Survey 2003-2005(Middle School 2) and were analyzed by Latent Growth Curve Modeling(LGM). The degree of child's academic attainment decreased over 3 years. Socioeconomic status variables that influenced academic trajectory were family poverty, parent's attainments in scholarship, and family structure. Findings from this study suggest that societal support for low socioeconomic status families is needed for improvement of academic attainment of their children.

The insurance payment plan for dental implants in Korea has been criticized because the payment priority has not been properly established, and the benefits are concentrated among middle-class citizens. In the current study, the relationship between the oral health condition and socioeconomic status of the elderly was analyzed using data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES). This study aims to determine the reason underlying the criticism of the insurance payment plan. The subjects were >65-year-old individuals in the 2010 and 2011 database of KNHANES. Data from 2,812 subjects were analyzed. The socioeconomic status was determined based on edentulousness, molar tooth loss, and presence of 28 teeth. According to the analysis, the average income was 1,560,000 won for edentulous elderly, 1,811,000 won for elderly who had lost molar teeth, and 1,896,000 won for elderly with 28 teeth (p<0.05). In addition, elderly with a low education level demonstrated a poor oral health condition (p<0.001). In conclusion, the insurance plan currently under examination is not properly designed for economically impoverished elderly because the plan only covers 50% of the costs and is limited to implantation of molar teeth only. This plan will not provide practical benefits to elderly with a poor socioeconomic status; therefore, the insurance payment plan needs to be improved so that the appropriate beneficiaries can be targeted.

Purpose: The purpose of this study were to compare working condition, socioeconomic status, and health status between elderly and non-elderly workers and to examine the influencing factors of health status according to age groups. Methods: This study is a secondary analysis of data extracted from the 2014 Korean Working Conditions Survey. For the present analysis, 15,980 elderly workers over the age of 55 and 32,037 non-elderly workers under the age of 55 were selected. Results: The prevalence of subjective unhealthy status and poor mental health were significantly higher among the elderly workers than the non-elderly workers. The elderly workers were more likely to have lower level of education and income than the non-elderly workers. They also reported less support from colleagues and managers, however, have more decision authority. Among the elderly workers, long working hours, awkward posture, physical environmental risks, quantitative demand, decision authority, social support, age discrimination, education level, and income level were significant predictors of subjective health status or mental health. Conclusion: For keeping elderly workers healthy and productive, work environment needs to become more age-friendly. An age-friendly workplace may include: accommodative support, workers' participation, minimization of environment risk, etc.

본 연구에서는 노인차별주의를 야기하는 사회구조적 측면에 초점을 맞추어, 자원 부족이 청년세대의 노인차별주의에 미치는 영향과 사회경제적 지위의 조절효과를 알아보았다. 이를 위하여, 20대와 30대 성인 219명을 대상으로 온라인 연구를 실시하였다. 연구참가자들은 자원 부족 점화 조건과 통제 조건으로 무선할당되어 글쓰기 과제를 수행하였고, 이후 노인차별주의와 사회경제적 지위를 측정하는 척도들에 응답하였다. 그 결과, 자원 부족의 점화가 노인차별주의에 미치는 영향은 유의하지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 개인의 사회경제적 지위가 자원 부족이 노인차별주의에 미치는 영향을 조절하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 구체적으로, 개인의 사회경제적 지위가 낮은 경우에만 자원 부족의 점화가 노인차별주의를 유의하게 감소시키는 것으로 나타났다. 이 결과는 사회경제적 지위가 낮은 사람들이 자원 부족과 같이 누군가 잠재적으로 피해를 입을 수 있는 상황에 처하게 되면, 사회적 약자에게 더 공감한다는 선행 연구들과 맥을 같이 한다. 본 연구는 노인차별주의에 영향을 미치는 상황적 요인과 개인적 요인을 함께 살펴보았다는 의의와, 실험적 접근을 통해 노인차별주의에 대한 자원 부족의 인과적 영향력을 검증하려 했다는 의의를 지닌다. 그러나 연구 결과에 대한 대안적 설명을 완전히 배제하지 못하였으므로, 추후 연구를 통한 반복검증이 필요할 것이다.

Objectives: Due to the assumptions of homogeneity as well as challenges in the socioeconomic position of the elderly, they have been relatively neglected in studies of health inequalities. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate the social inequalities in preventive services among elderly men and women. Methods: Data were obtained from a nationally representative sample of 342 men and 525 women aged 65 and over collected during the 2001 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Age adjusted proportions and logistic regression were used to identify the social patterning of preventive services among elderly Koreans using various social position indicators. Results: The findings of this study generally supported the presence of social gradients in preventive services among the Korean elderly. The likelihood of using the service becomes progressively higher with social position. Educational level, income, and self-rated living status were significantly associated with increased medical checkups and cancer checks. In addition, logistic regression detected educational inequalities only among older women receiving BP checks. After being stratified based on health status and chronic disease status, social disparities still existed when educational level and self-rated living status were considered. Among unhealthy individuals, place of residence was observed as a barrier to medical checkups. Conclusions: This study demonstrated strong and consistent associations between socioeconomic position and preventive services among the elderly in Korea. The results indicate that public health strategies should be developed to reduce the barriers to preventive services encountered by the elderly.

본 연구의 주된 목적은 IMF 외환위기를 계기로 하여 사회경제적 차별출산의 양상이 어떻게 변화하였는가를 파악하는 것이다. 이 연구에서는 2003년 전국출산력조사 자료를 활용하여 20-49세 기혼 여자의 총출생아수와 1998년 이후의 출생아수에 대한 비교분석이 이루어 졌다. 또한, 분석대상을 1997년 이전에 결혼하였거나 재혼한 부인들과 1997년 이후 처음 결혼한 부인들의 두 집단으로 구분하여 출산력 수준과 출산행태를 비교함으로써 IMF 외환위기 이전과 이후의 변화양상을 파악하고자 시도하였다. 총 출생아수에 대한 분석 결과, 부부의 교육수준, 직업, 종사상 지위 등의 사회경제적인 조건과 출산수준은 대체로 뒤집어진 J 자형의 관계를 유지하는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 즉 사회경제적 지위가 가장 높은 집단은 바로 밑의 집단보다 출산수준이 상대적으로 높았다. 그런데, 최근의 출산수준은 이러한 사회경제적 차별출산과는 뚜렷하게 대조적인 양상을 나타냈다. IMF 외환위기 이후 출산수준 감소의 폭은 기존의 출산수준과 정비례하는 방식으로 이루어졌다. 출산수준이 높은 집단일수록 급속한 출산력 저하가 이루어졌으며, 출산수준이 낮은 집단에서는 상대적으로 변화가 완만하였다. 그 결과, 최근의 출산수준은 중상층에 해당하는 사회경제적 지위를 지닌 집단이 가장 높고 다음이 최상위 집단, 그리고 하위 집단의 순으로 바뀌었다. 이러한 경향은 부부의 교육수준, 직업, 종사상 지위, 주관적 계층에 따른 최근 출산력의 변화양상에서 일관적으로 나타났다.
