Abstract
|
|
|
The labor environment in Korea has changed and problems related to employment types are treated as important issues.
Especially, the ratio of irregular workers has not only increased relatively, but the labor conditions in Korea also haveworsened in the current years. Studies have reported an association between temporary workers and the prevalence ofdiseases. However, there is insufficient research on chronic disease and employment types. Methods: The current studyexamines the prevalence rate of diseases and health behavior by categorizing employment types among Korean adults. Datawere obtained from the 2016-2018 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Totally, the data of 2,366workers (1,239 regular and 1,127 irregular) were analyzed in the study. The types of employment were classified by aquestionnaire querying about working conditions. The results showed that irregular workers earned less than regular workersand had a significantly higher prevalence of diabetes mellitus and hypertension. We propose that if discrimination relatedto working conditions were relieved, irregular workers would be able to invest more time to exercise and doing check-upsregularly. In addition, individual nutrition consultations considering the knowledge and personal environmental factors ofeach individual are necessary for the improved health of all workers.
