Obesity is a risk factor for various diseases as well as itself a disease and associated with socioeconomic factors. The obesity proportion has been increasing in Korea over about 15 years so that investigation of the socioeconomic factors related with obesity is important in terms of preventation of obesity. In particular, the association between obesity and socioeconomic status varies with gender and has spatial dependency. In the paper, we estimate the effects of socioeconomic factors on obesity proportion by gender, considering the spatial correlation. Here, a conditional autoregressive model under the Bayesian framework is used in order to take into account the spatial dependency. For the real applicaiton, we use the obestiy proportion dataset at 25 districts of Seoul in 2010. We compare the proposed spatial model with a non-spatial model in terms of the goodness-of-fit and prediction measures so the spatial model performs well.

이 연구의 목적은 수도권 지역에서의 노인 이동이 어떠한 요인에 의하여 이루어지는가를 젊은층의 비교를 통해 부각시키는데 있다. 인구이동의 요인은 대부분 경제적인 측면에서의 분석이 이루어져 왔다. 하지만 과거와는 다르게 삶의 질이 높아지고 피만큼 환경에 대한 의식수준이 높아지게 되었고 따라서 이동을 하는 요인이 단순하게 생계를 위해서라기 보다는 더 나은 지역으로의 이동으로 점차 변화할 가능성이 높아지게 되었다. 이 연구는 수도권 노인을 대상으로 70개 시군구 데이터를 가지고 50세 이상의 순이 동량과 지역환경 변수를 가지고 분석을 하였다. 하지만 지역변수의 한계점인 개인의 계층과 가족구성과 같은 개인적인 데이터의 미흡으로 인하여 처음에 세웠던 가설과는 다른 방향으로 전개되었다. 즉 처음 세웠던 가설인 노인의 이동은 젊은 사람의 이동에 비해서 환경적 요소를 더욱 고려할 것이라는 가설과는 다르게 노인의 이동 요인이 경제적 상황에 의해 가장 많은 영향을 밟는다는 것으로 나타나게 되었다. 이 이유는 우리나라의 노인은 자녀와의 동거여부를 따로 분류하지 않았으며, 또한 사회경제적 요인을 고려하지 않았기 때문에 이러한 결과가 도출된 것이라고 결론을 맺고 있다.

Various international reports have shown strong proof that socioeconomic and sociodemographic variables are correlated with allergic diseases, yet little is known about how these variables affect Korean adolescents. This study was conducted to identify the socioeconomic and sociodemographic risk factors for allergic diseases of Korean adolescents, and to provide information for preventing and managing such conditions. Data from the 2018 Korean Youth Risk Behavior Survey (KYRBS) of 60,040 adolescents was used for this study. An anonymously administered online survey was conducted to collect information on the dependent variables. The independent variables were asthma, allergic rhinitis and atopic dermatitis. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to analyze the correlations between the dependent variables and the independent variables. Low economic status, living with mother, high education level of parents, high school record, obesity, drinking and smoking were the risk factors for asthma. Low economic status, the place of residence, living with mother, high education level of the parents, gender, high school record, obesity, drinking and smoking were the risk factors for allergic rhinitis. Low economic status, living with mother, high education level of parents, genderhigh school record, obesity and drinking were the risk factors for atopic dermatitis. We found that low socioeconomic status and unhealthy behavior were the risk factor for allergic diseases of Korean adolescents. Balanced economic growth in the community and controlling unhealthy behavior can help reduce the prevalence of allergic diseases.

Various kinds of living circumstances are making population structure of Korean changed. That is, number of the children is decreased and that of the aged is increased. It is predicted that population of the children and the aged will be almost same until 2020. With above, as the expectation of the aged on healthy living might be increased, some special programs for the aged will be needed strongly. At this point, Korean aged population might be economically poor, comparing with other generation. In general, economic factor affects the subjective living-satisfaction and health status of them. Moreover, educational status, household shape and family tieing also affect their health status. According to the foreign articles, health status of the aged might be related to income, educational status, job, employed or/not, marital status, family structure, sex, and childhood condition. decrease of the income or unemployment could make the death rate of the aged higher. During childhood, discordance among the family might affect their health status after. IGUR is also important factor to affect the adulthood health. Positive life style of the aged would lessen their unequality of the health among them. Nutritional status of the Korean aged population might be indicated under the nutritional recommendation. It is affected by their income, education level, social class, and residing place. (Korean J Nutrition 33(1) : 86-101, 2000)

The purpose of this study is to analyze factors to affect low fertility and to investigate its implications to social welfare. For the purpose, I surveyed 360 married women and men in Gyeongnam province, and employed multi-regression, logistic regression model to process the data. I analyzed factors to influence low fertility in three aspects: demographic feature, socio-economic status, and personal sense of value. The results of analysis can be summarized as follows: (1) the period of marriage in demographic feature, income level in social economic status, and the necessity of children in personal sense of value are important factors to affect the current fertility level, (2) period of marriage, total numbers of children, gender of the first child are determining the future childbirth in demographic feature. Secondly, income level is interrelated to the future childbirth in socio-economic status. Thirdly, in the aspect of personal values, how much one needs to get married, how much one prefers son to daughter, how much one relies on one's children to realize one's dream are interrelated to the future childbirth, (3) the cost of bringing up a child as well as he expense of private education, lacking of a day nursery, and economic difficulty are causes to make people to postpone or give up childbirth. These results suggest that development of population policy to promote women's social participation and to strengthen family welfare as well as social welfare is necessary. These also implicates that if we pursue integrated policies on women, childcare, and education, we can get much more effective population welfare policy.

This study explores the determinants of economic status and well-being among elderly Koreans. Particular emphasis is paid to the role of intergenerational support in these processes because institutional responses to an aging population in Korea are currently inadequate. Path model results indicate that status maintenance variables have significant effects on economic status and well-being as measured by comprehensive income. Further, inequality in comprehensive income - as measured by the Gini and Theil's indices - is substantial and increases in successive age groups. However, market-based and family-based income, two components of comprehensive income, show different patterns. Inequality in market-based income is apparently increasing, while inequality in family-based income is decreasing gradually in successive age groups. With respect to the role of intergenerational support, results indicate that family-income-focused persons possess highly vulnerable sociodemographic characteristics, and that for the socially disadvantaged elderly Koreans, intergenerational support plays a crucial role in the later stages of life. This study also discusses the implications of these findings for the transition from latency to manifestation of intergenerational support in Korea.

This study aimed to explore the trajectories of economic preparations for the aging among people with physical disabilities and to identify the determinants according to the Andersen model. For this study, data were drawn from Panel Survey of Employment for the Disabled (PSED). A total of 1,847 samples were used from the second to the eighth wave. Latent class growth model was conducted to explore the longitudinal change classes for the disabled, and the multinominal logistic regression analysis was conducted to examine the influence of the determinants. As a result, four classes were identified: preparation decrease group, continuous non-preparation group, preparation increase group, and continuous preparation group. Each group was found to be associated deferentially with education level, family income, socioeconomic status, employment, home ownership, national basic livelihood security recipient status, and ADL. These findings proposed the practical and political implications for the strategies concerned with facilitating the economic preparations for the aging among the disabled.
