ABSTRACT

This study aims to analyze the difference in health behavior depending on cancer screening health check taking in adults in Korea and use it as basic data for expanding such cancer screening health check taking behavior in order to reduce the fatality of cancer and activate the cancer screening program for early detection. As for subjects and materials of this study, the data from 26,051 individuals as primitive data of the Community Health Survey of 2014 were analyzed. As data analysis method for this study, SPSS WIN 21.0 was used. As a result, it was found that there was a statistically significant difference in smoking (x2=79.885, p<.001), drinking(x2=152.29, p<.001), physical activity(t=8.22, p=.001), seat belt(t=14.89, p<.001), breakfast days(t=39.70, p<.001), body mass index(t=1.95, p<.001), subjective level of oral health (t=7.30, p<.001), subjective level of stress (t=9.16, p<.001) depending on cancer screening health check taking. Therefore, the findings from this study will have to be used as basic data for recognizing health behavior in adults who take cancer screening and those who don't and also for establishing strategies for activating the cancer screening program for early cancer detection.
