Abstract:
Using data from the 2022 Korea Community Health Survey (n = 13 320), this study investigated helmet use and related factors among Korean adults using personal mobility devices, without distinguishing between private and hired users. Among mobility device users, 32.1% responded that they always wore a helmet. The proportion of helmet use was 35.2% among men, 25.8% among women, 29.2% among those aged 19-44 years, 42.3% among those aged 45-64 years and 26.6% among those aged 65 years or older. Furthermore, those who drank less frequently and were physically active were more likely to wear helmets. Moreover, people who always wore a seat belt when driving a car or sitting in the rear seat and people who always wore a helmet when riding a motorcycle were more likely to wear a helmet while using electric personal mobility devices. Approximately one-third of users always wore a helmet. The helmet-wearing rate was related to general characteristics such as gender and education level, and to safety behaviors such as wearing a seat belt when driving a car, sitting in the rear seat of a car, or when riding a motorcycle. In addition to considering personal characteristics investigated in this study, the helmet-wearing rate should be improved through policies or systems at the national or regional levels.
摘要:
使用2022年韩国社区健康调查的数据(n=13320),这项研究调查了使用个人移动设备的韩国成年人的头盔使用情况和相关因素,不区分私人用户和雇佣用户。在移动设备用户中,32.1%的人回答说他们总是戴头盔。男性使用头盔的比例为35.2%,妇女占25.8%,在19-44岁的人群中,29.2%,45-64岁的人群中占42.3%,65岁或以上的人群中占26.6%。此外,那些喝酒频率较低并且身体活跃的人更有可能戴头盔。此外,驾驶汽车或坐在后座时总是系安全带的人和骑摩托车时总是戴头盔的人更有可能在使用电动个人移动设备时戴头盔。大约三分之一的用户总是戴头盔。头盔佩戴率与性别、教育程度等一般特征有关,以及驾驶汽车时系安全带等安全行为,坐在汽车的后座上,或者骑摩托车的时候。除了考虑本研究中调查的个人特征外,应通过国家或地区层面的政策或制度来提高头盔佩戴率。
