Background: Self-rated health of women according to marital status and household type has rarely been considered. This studydetermined the differences in the self-rated health of women according to marital status and household type.
Methods: Using cross-sectional data from the seventh Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, we included 9,990women aged above 19 years. Multiple logistic regression was used to examine the relationships between self-rated health, maritalstatus, and household type.
Results: Overall, 74.5% of the women reported poor self-rated health. Regarding marital status and household type, one-personhouseholds and unmarried women had a higher risk of poor self-rated health (odds ratio [OR], 1.45; 95% confidence interval [CI],1.03?2.05), while multi-person households and no-spouse women had a lower risk of poor self-rated health (OR, 0.69; 95% CI, 0.58?0.83). Furthermore, women who are one-person households and unmarried had a higher risk of poor self-rated health in those whohad college or higher educational level (OR, 1.98; 95% CI, 1.25?3.13).
Conclusion: Self-rated health among women was associated with marital status and household type. Future studies are required togeneralize these findings by considering various household compositions to improve women’s self-rated health status.
