Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are one of the major health threats in the world.
Thus, identifying the factors that influence NCDs is crucial to monitor and manage diseases. This
study investigates the effects of social-environmental and behavioral risk factors on NCDs as well
as the effects of social-environmental factors on behavioral risk factors using an integrated research
model. This study used a dataset from the 2017 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination
Survey. After filtering incomplete responses, 5462 valid responses remained. Items including
one’s social-environmental factors (household income, education level, and region), behavioral
factors (alcohol use, tobacco use, and physical activity), and NCDs histories were used for analyses.
To develop a comprehensive index of each factor that allows comparison between different concepts,
the researchers assigned scores to indicators of the factors and calculated a ratio of the scores.
A series of path analyses were conducted to determine the extent of relationships among NCDs and
risk factors. The results showed that social-environmental factors have notable effects on stroke,
myocardial infarction, angina, diabetes, and gastric, liver, colon, lung, and thyroid cancers. The
results indicate that the effects of social-environmental and behavioral risk factors on NCDs vary
across the different types of diseases. The effects of social-environmental factors and behavioral risk
factors significantly affected NCDs. However, the effect of social-environmental factors on behavioral
risk factors was not supported. Furthermore, social-environmental factors and behavioral risk factors
affect NCDs in a similar way. However, the effects of behavioral risk factors were smaller than those
of social-environmental factors. The current research suggests taking a comprehensive view of risk
factors to further understand the antecedents of NCDs in South Korea. [-]
