Purpose: This study examines the health behavior and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) among married men andwomen, utilizing data from the Korean National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey, encompassing 4,217 subjects.
Methods: A multiple regression model was employed to analyze the data.
Results: Married men demonstrated asignificantly good relationship between HRQOL and perceived health state (β=.32, p<.001), while married womenshowed a similar relationship with perceived health state (β=.38, p<.001). Additionally, married men demonstratedsignificantly neutral relationship between HRQOL and perceived health state (β=.30, p<.001), as did the married women(β=.38, p<.001). Both married men (β=-.11, p<.001) and married women (β=-.08, p<.001) were found to experiencedepression. oreover, the HRQOL in married men was positively associated with private health insurance (β=.08, p=.001),and the same trend was observed in married women (β=.10, p<.001). Married men with unmet medical needs showeda negative association with HRQOL (β=-.08, p<.001), and married women with unmet medical needs showed a similarnegative association (β=-.12, p<.001). Furthermore, outpatient medical use(2 weeks) was negatively associated withHRQOL in both married men (β=-.07, p=.001) and married women (β=-.07, p<.001). Moreover, married women displayeda significant negative association between HRQOL and the prevalence of obesity(β=-.04, p=.048) and stress (β=-.05,p=.009) and a positive association with aerobic exercise (β=.04, p=.027).
Conclusions: This study suggests that healthbehavior significantly influences the HRQOL among married men and women. The findings of this study can guidepolicymakers in developing strategies to improve health behavior and HRQOL within households.
