Abstract
|
|
|
The Korea Community Health Survey (KCHS) is a survey conducted jointly by the Korea Disease Control and Prevention
Agency (KDCA) and 255 public health centers to determine the health status of residents based on the law. Since 2008, this survey has been targeting about 900 people (aged 19 and over) per public health center. Notably, in 2020, due to the COVID19 pandemic, the number of survey questions was reduced and thorough quarantine regulations were followed, and a total of 229,000 people were interviewed through household visits.
According to the 2020 KCHS, the rate of smoking and drinking increased, personal hygiene improved, and physical activity
and mental health slightly worsened. Personal hygiene such as hand washing, guidance for COVID-19 such as wearing
masks, and increased reliance on delivery for food consumption, decreased physical activity and alcohol consumption
appear to have been affected by COVID-19. Also, on most of the indicators, the gap between regions was not significant and the gaps were still high. The survey results are available at the KCHS website (https://chs.kdca.go.kr), and can be used to improve the health of local residents.
