目的：比较丧偶妇女与已婚妇女的健康行为。方法：从全南道居民登记资料中随机抽取2331名丧偶妇女和4775名已婚妇女。训练有素的检查人员测量了这些女性的身高、体重、血压和腹部围，并使用问卷对她们进行了采访。采用Logistic回归分析估计两组的优势比（OR）。结果：丧偶妇女的吸烟率（OR=2.46； 95%可信区间[CI]1.65, 3.66）显著高于丧偶妇女。相反，丧偶妇女对戒烟运动（OR=0.80; 95% CI=0.70, 0.92）、戒烟热线（OR=0.73; 95% CI=0.61, 0.88）和戒烟诊所（OR=0.74; 95% CI=0.62, 0.89）的知晓率较低。丧偶妇女接受健康检查的比率（OR=0.80; 95% CI=0.70, 0.91）、接受胃癌筛查的比率（OR=0.77; 95% CI=0.68, 0.88）、乳腺癌筛查的比率（OR=0.79; 95% CI=0.69, 0.89）、最近2年接受宫颈癌筛查的比率（OR=0.81; 95% CI=0.71, 0.92）、最近5年接受结肠癌筛查的比率（OR=0.74; 95% CI=0.63, 0.87）均显著降低。结论：本研究发现，丧偶妇女与已婚妇女的健康行为存在显著差异。为了改善丧偶妇女的健康行为，需要进一步研究和调查影响丧偶妇女健康行为的社会经济和环境因素。
OBJECTIVES: To compare the health behaviors of widowed women with those of currently married women.METHODS: We randomly sampled the subjects from the Jeollanamdo Resident Registration Data and we then selected 2,331 widowed women and 4,775 married women. Well-trained examiners measured the height, weight, blood pressure and abdomen circumference, and the women were interviewed with using a questionnaire. Logistic regression analysis was used to estimate the odds ratios(OR) of the two groups.RESULTS: The smoking rate (OR=2.46; 95% confidence interval [CI]1.65, 3.66) was significantly higher for the widowed women. On the contrary, the awareness rate of a smoking cessation campaign (OR=0.80; 95% CI=0.70, 0.92), a quit tobacco telephone line (OR=0.73; 95% CI=0.61, 0.88) and a quit smoking clinic (OR=0.74; 95% CI=0.62, 0.89) were lower for the widowed women. The rate of receiving a health exam (OR=0.80; 95% CI=0.70, 0.91), the rate of undergoing gastric cancer screening (OR=0.77; 95% CI=0.68, 0.88), breast cancer screening (OR=0.79; 95% CI=0.69, 0.89), cervix cancer screening in the last 2 years (OR=0.81; 95% CI=0.71, 0.92), colon cancer screening in the last 5 years (OR=0.74; 95% CI=0.63, 0.87) were significantly lower for the widowed women.CONCLUSIONS: This study revealed that the health behaviors are significantly different between the widowed women and the married women. To improve the health behaviors of the widowed women, further study and research that will investigate the socioeconomic and environmental factors that affect the health behaviors of widowed women will be needed.
