Abstract:
It is well reported that obesity, smoking, and drinking were cardiovascular risk factors for disabled people. Among them, drinking is the one of the greatest risk factor for disabled. On the other hand, a recent study found that regular physical exercise prevents the health problems
from drinking unhealthy people. Even though problem drinking is seriously affected by the disability of a person, research on the influence of the disabled person on their drinking problem is very limited. Therefore, this study used the National Health and Nutrition Survey, which is a statistical data designated by the government, in order to investigate the factors influencing problem drinking of disabled people, as well as promote their healthy living and prevent more diseases. Therefore, we used the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, which is a statistical data designated
by the Government of the Republic of Korea. This study implemented descriptive statistics and frequency analysis in order to find the influencing factors of the relationship between individual problem drinking status and variable. A logistic regression model was adopted in order to analyze an individual problem drinking status factoring in dependent variable. STATA/MP 13.0 were used for the analysis. The analysis results were shown as follows. The influencing factor of the drinking problem status was an existing common factor without reference to disability status, and the factor
in discrimination appeared depending on the disability status. Smoking was found to have a strong influence in every population without age in this study. Furthermore, weight control status was verified as appearing with a dissimilar effect as per disability status. In the non-disability group, having experience to try weight control was predicted to have a relatively higher problem drinking possibility than not having an experience in trying weight control. Nevertheless, in disability the group, the relationship between the two variables was not found to be of statistical significance.
