This study compared levels of health beliefs and health behavior practices according to lifestyle pattern among adults in Seoul. A self-administered survey questionnaire was collected from a total of 1,004 Seoul residents aged 30-59 years. The levels of perceived benefit, perceived barrier, and self-efficacy from health belief model and health behavior practices were measured across multiple health behavior areas including dietary behavior, drinking, smoking, exercise, functional food consumption, and weight control behavior. Factor analysis and subsequent cluster analysis based on 28 lifestyle questions divided the subjects into four lifestyles of society-, economy-, trend-, and health-oriented lifestyle. Some general characteristics were significantly different by lifestyles. The society-oriented lifestyle was significantly higher in proportions of men and overweight. The trend-oriented lifestyle was significantly younger and spent more monthly allowance. Health-oriented lifestyle was older. The levels of health belief variables and health behavior practices significantly differed by lifestyles. Overall the health-oriented lifestyle showed more desirable levels of health belief variables and health behavior practice in various health behavior areas compared to the other lifestyles, whereas the society-oriented lifestyle was found the other way. Health belief model variables including perceived benefit, perceived barrier, and self-efficacy were generally significant in predicting the levels of various health behavior practice, with somewhat differences by lifestyle pattern and health behavior type. The study findings suggest it may be useful to segment target subjects according to lifestyle pattern in planning and administering health education programs.

Objectives: This study was to examine the influences of community characteristics on the mortality rates. Community characteristics included socioeconomic environmental characteristics, health care resources, and health lifestyle practice. Methods: This study used secondary data whose units of analyses were 249 administrative districts. Mortality rates were estimated with hierarchical regression models entered in the order of (1) socioeconomic environmental characteristics, (2) health care resources, and (3) health lifestyle practice. Results: About 70% of mortality rate was explained by socioeconomic environmental characteristics, health care resources, and health lifestyle practice. In particular, socioeconomic environmental characteristics showed the strongest impact on mortality rate. Among socioeconomic characteristics, community with lower rate of households headed with college or more, lower number of inhabitants per on-premise license, higher rate of population in poverty, and rural region showed higher mortality rate. Among health care resources, community with higher number of inhabitants per doctor and lower number of inhabitants per hospital bed showed higher mortality rate. Among health lifestyle practice, community with higher current smoking rate and lower moderate physical activity practice rate showed higher mortality rate. Conclusions: The results suggest that policy makers should take into account socioeconomic environmental characteristics of community in developing community-based health promotion rather than focusing on lifestyle changes of residents.

본 연구는 종합병원 근로자의 건강증진생활양식 실천정도를 파악하고 이와 관련된 요인을 규명하고자 대전시의 종합병원 근로자 580명을 대상으로 무기명 자기기입식 설문지를 이용한 설문조사를 실시하였다. 연구결과 전체 조사대상 병원 근로자들의 건강증진생활양식 실천정도는 총 4.0점 중 전체문항의 평균이 2.26점이었고, 하위영역별 평균은 대인관계영역 2.62점, 자아실현영역 2.58점, 영양영역 2.26점, 스트레스관련영역 2.16점, 건강책임영역 2.00점, 운동영역 1.89점으로 대인관계영역이 가장 높은 실천율을 보였고, 운동영역이 가장 낮은 실천율을 보였다. 단계별 다변량 회귀분석 결과 건강증진생활양식의 실천에 영향을 미치는 주요요인으로는 스트레스, 건강증진에 관한 교육 참석여부, 주관적 건강상태, 연령으로 나타났다. 이상의 연구결과는 종합병원 근로자의 건강증진생활양식 실천정도가 비교적 낮은 것을 시사하며, 여러 요인들이 영향을 미치고 있음을 알 수 있다. 따라서 종합병원 근로자들의 건강증진생활양식 실천에 대한 관심을 증진시키기 위한 전략 및 건강증진 프로그램의 개발이 필요할 것으로 생각된다.
