This study was aimed at identifying the social determinants related to COVID-19 infection in South Korea. This secondary analysis used data from the 2020 Community Health Survey, a nationwide sample taken to understand the health status of Korean residents. The participants were 220 970 adults 19 years of age or older. COVID-19-related social determinants were age, education level, marital status, household income, hypertension, eating habits, social support, and regional income. The risk of COVID-19 infection increased in those who were under 40 years, were high school graduates or higher, were single, had a household income over US$ 4166.7, ate breakfast 5-7 times a week, had three or more helpers during COVID-19, and lived in a region with above-average income. Hypertension reduced the risk of COVID-19 infection. In conclusion, adults with high socioeconomic activity showed a high risk for COVID-19 infection, which was assumed to include only adults living in residential housing in the community. Further studies are required to include adults living in long-term care or communal living facilities, known to be frequently infected with the corona virus.
本研究旨在确定与韩国 COVID-19 感染相关的社会决定因素。这是一项二次分析，使用了 2020 年社区健康调查的数据，该调查是为了了解韩国居民的健康状况而进行的全国性抽样调查。参与者为 220970 名 19 岁及以上的成年人。与 COVID-19 相关的社会决定因素包括年龄、教育程度、婚姻状况、家庭收入、高血压、饮食习惯、社会支持和地区收入。在 40 岁以下、高中及以上学历、单身、家庭收入超过 4166.7 美元、每周吃早餐 5-7 次、在 COVID-19 期间有 3 个或更多帮手、居住在收入高于平均水平地区的人群中，COVID-19 感染的风险增加。高血压降低了 COVID-19 感染的风险。总之，社会经济活动水平较高的成年人感染 COVID-19 的风险较高，这可能仅包括居住在社区住宅中的成年人。需要进一步研究包括居住在长期护理或集体生活设施中的成年人，这些成年人已知经常感染冠状病毒。
