Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the leading causes and relevant factors of high-risk alcohol use and its influence on the health of adult men at work in Korea based on attributes such as socioeconomic status, health behaviours, and subjective recognition of health.
Methods: The study subjects were 7,237 men at work aged 19 years or older from the Korea Health Panel Survey (2016-2018) who had drunk alcohol in the last year. The data were analysed using the Chi-square method for underlying attributes, and relevant factors were examined using Generalized Estimating Equation modelling with the Population-Averaged method.
Results: The results showed a high tendency for high-risk alcohol use if an individual's subjective health recognition was perceived to be good, moderate, or bad compared to very good. In contrast, a lower tendency was observed if an individual was aged over 70 years, unmarried, well educated, had a professional occupation with first drink above 15 years and exercised 1-2 times a week.
Conclusions: The study results suggest that there is a need for further studies based on different age groups over 40 and personal occupations using qualitative research.
