Objectives: This study intended to examine the influence of social capital and health behaviors on self-rated health in Korea.
Methods: The data of the social statistics survey that the Korea National Statistical Office conducted in 2006 were chosen and 36,266 people from them, who were 30~59 years old were sampled. This paper made logistic regression analysis to examine the effect of social capital and health behaviors on self-rated health.
Results: Odds ratios of social capital are family structure(1.321), marriage(1.214), satisfaction with family relationship(2.207), reliability of institutions(1.307), economic support(1.199), citizen’s participation(1.531), and religious activity(1.138). Odds ratios of health behaviors are meal(1.431), exercise(1.356), and no drinking(0.648).
Conclusion: Based on the results, this paper can suggest that the plan of keeping and building up social capital should be considered in the whole aspects of the society and the project of moderation in drink is required to consider social culture more.
