[h=3]Abstract[/h] [h=4]Objectives:[/h] This study aim to identify the estimated proportion for influenza vaccination and related factors depending on chronic disease in Korean adults aged 50 and older.
[h=4]Methods:[/h] The 2016 Community Health Survey(CHS) was used for analysis. Chi-square test was performed to investigate the estimated proportion for influenza vaccination depending on chronic disease, and a multiple logistic regression analysis was used to identify the factors associated with influenza vaccination, by chronic disease.
[h=4]Results:[/h] In Men with ≥1 chronic disease, 39.8% of 50-64 years of age, and 86.8% of elderly (over 65 years of age) received influenza vaccination. In women with ≥1 chronic disease, 58.7% of 50-64 years of age, and 89.9% of elderly (over 65 years of age) received influenza vaccination (p<0.0001). The chronic diseases associated with Influenza vaccination were hypertension (odds ratio [OR]=1.27, 95% CI: 1.19-1.37), diabetes (OR=1.41, 95% CI: 1.28-1.55) in men aged 50-64, hypertension(OR=1.34, 95% CI: 1.20-1.49), diabetes(OR=1.17, 95% CI: 1.02-1.33), chronic cardiovascular disease(OR=1.31, 95% CI: 1.07-1.60) in elderly (over 65 years of age). In women aged 50-64, hypertension (OR=1.39, 95% CI: 1.30-1.49), diabetes (OR=1.51, 95% CI: 1.35-1.68), chronic cardiovascular disease (OR=1.31, 95% CI: 1.05-1.64), and hypertension (OR=1.55, 95% CI: 1.40-1.71), diabetes (OR=1.27, 95% CI: 1.12-1.43) in elderly (over 65 years of age).
[h=4]Conclusion:[/h] Populations in aged 50-64 are recommendation subject for vaccination or classified as high risk group in case with chronic disease. Though subject over 60 years old is age close to the elderly, the estimated proportion for vaccination was low. It is necessary to devise strategies to raise the estimated proportion for vaccination.
