This study aims to investigate the differences in socio-economic status and health behaviors among middle-aged adults in one-person households, and to identify factors that affect the chronic disease of one-person households. The socio-demographic factors (sex, age, marital status, education), economic factors (medical insurance, house ownership, employment status, household income) and health behavior factors (disability, self-rated health, smoking, drinking, exercise) were used in this study as independent variables. The data was obtained from Korea health panel 2015. The subjects were 252 persons between the ages of 40 and 64 in one-person households. Then, the data were analyzed with independent t-test, ANOVA, correlation analysis and Poisson regression model using SAS package (version 9.4, Statistical Analysis System Institute, Cary, NC, USA). Factors significantly related to number of chronic disease of one-person household included female (p<0.01), age (p<0.001), self-employed (p<0.01), self-rated health (p<0.001), alcohol consumption (p<0.05). This indicates that there is a relationship between economic conditions and health behavior and people with chronic diseases including the baby boomer generation (including middle-aged). The results may suggest that one-person households among middle-aged adults need to improve health behavior and this study suggests the need for research that consider the middle-aged adults rather than elderly.
