: This cross-sectional study investigated the association between long working hours and prevalence of poor self-rated health (SRH) in Korean young workers using data from the 6th Korea Youth Panel Survey 2007. A total of 3317 young wage workers were included. Weekly working hours were divided into four groups (36 to 40 hours, 41 to 52 hours, 53 to 60 hours, and more than 60 hours per week). Multiple logistic regression was performed to investigate the association between long working hours and SRH, adjusting for demographic and work-related factors. Long working hours were associated with increased risk of poor SRH, in both the men and women. Legal restriction on working hours should be suitably applied to help improve the health status of Korean young workers.
本横断面研究使用了 2007 年第六次韩国青年小组调查的数据，调查了长时间工作与韩国年轻工人健康自评较差（SRH）患病率之间的关系。共有 3317 名年轻的薪工被纳入研究。每周工作时间分为四组（36 至 40 小时、41 至 52 小时、53 至 60 小时和每周超过 60 小时）。采用多变量逻辑回归分析长时间工作与 SRH 之间的关系，同时调整了人口统计学和与工作相关的因素。在男性和女性中，长时间工作与 SRH 较差的风险增加相关。应适当适用工作时间的法律限制，以帮助改善韩国年轻工人的健康状况。
