Purpose: This study compared health behaviors and disease prevalence between one-person women and multiple-household women in Korea.
Methods: This study used the 2013 data from the Korean Community Health Survey (KCHS). A total of 89,807 women, aged 19-64 years were included in this study. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and Chi-square test. Moreover, statistical processing was performed using the SPSS 21.0.
Results: Among adult women, one-person households women was 6.2%. One-person household women were older than multiple-households women, and multiple -households women were less likely to exercise regularly. And disease prevalence was higher in one-person household women than in multiple-household women.
Conclusion: Residence characteristics should be considered in developing a public health program to reduce or increase modifiable health behaviors and disease prevalence.
