Abstract

Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate the estimated proportion for influenza vaccination and to identify factors associated with influenza vaccination in Korean diabetic patients.
Methods: Data from the fourth, fifth, and sixth (except for 2013) Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (n=3,726) was used. A chi-square test was performed to investigate the estimated proportion for influenza vaccination, and a multiple logistic regression analysis was used to identify the factors associated with self-reported influenza vaccination.
Results: In men, 28.8% of diabetes patients 30-64 years of age, and 76.1% of elderly (over 65 years of age) diabetes patients received influenza vaccination. In women, 37.7% of diabetes patients 30-64 years of age, and 78.4% of elderly diabetes patients received influenza vaccination (p<0.0001). The determinants of influenza vaccination were marriage, hypertension (odds ratio [OR], 1.55; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.07-2.24), residence within a mega city, unemployment (OR, 3.94; 95% CI, 1.24-12.54), and exercise via (weekly) walking for diabetic men; and hypertension (OR, 1.71; 95% CI, 1.16-2.52), chronic disease (OR, 1.81; 95% CI, 1.08-3.02), and exercise via walking (OR, 2.65; 95% CI, 1.49-4.73) for diabetic women.
Conclusion: Influenza vaccination remains relatively low in young diabetic patients. It is necessary to recommend vaccination to young diabetic patients, and to devise other strategies to improve vaccination.
