The Korea Community Health Survey (KCHS) is a nationwide cross-sectional survey with an annual sample of approximately 230,000 people aged 19 years and over. The KCHS has been in operation since 2008. This study collected the data gathered by 255 community public health centers, 35 universities, and the Korea Centers for Diseases Control and Prevention (KCDC) on health conditions and behavioral risk factors. The 2019 KCHS was performed on 228,000 people by trained interviewers from August 16 to November 20. The key findings of the KCHS were as follows. The treatment rates of chronic diseases and indicators related to injury prevention improved consistently over the past 12 years from 2008. However, most indicators related to health risk behaviors excluding smoking, have not improved. In addition, health perception decreased during the survey period. Furthermore, regional disparities of most health risk behaviors remained constant. The survey results are available at the KCHS website (https://chs.cdc.go.kr)
