Background: Korea’s recent suicide problem has been the most serious in the world. This study was conducted to identify factors related tosuicidal ideation of Korean adults and to identify the association with socioeconomic deprivation.
Methods: The 17th Korea Welfare Panel Study (2022) raw data was used, and 10,065 adults aged 20 years or older who responded to all majorquestions were selected as subjects for the study. SAS ver. 9.4 program (SAS Institute Inc., USA) was used for data analysis. Multiple logisticregression analysis was performed to identify the association between socioeconomic deprivation and suicidal ideation. Stratified analysis wasperformed to confirm the difference by subjective health status and gender.
Results: For every 1 unit increased in socioeconomic deprivation, suicidal ideation increased 1.5 times (odds ratio [OR], 1.48; 95% confidenceinterval [CI], 1.37?1.61). People with good subjective health status showed 1.3 times higher suicidal ideation (OR, 1.30; 95% CI, 1.12?1.52) for eachunit increased in socioeconomic deprivation, and those with poor subjective health status showed 1.6 times higher (OR, 1.58; 95% CI, 1.43?1.75).
Conclusion: As socioeconomic deprivation increased, suicidal ideation increased. Therefore, policy measures should be prepared to improvethe level of more multidimensional deprivation and subjective health status in order to lower the suicide rate of Korean adults.
