Multivariate regression models were used to compare the estimated prevalences of behaviors during these three phases. The COVID-19 pandemic arrested the increasing health screening trend and reversed the increasing cancer screening trend, whereas the influenza vaccination rate continuously increased, irrespective of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, subgroup analysis revealed: (1) that during the COVID-19 pandemic, no increasing trend in influenza vaccination was evident for older adults (≥65 years old) or individuals with a lower socioeconomic status and (2) that even during COVID-19 pandemic, older adults and women were more actively screened. In conclusion, the COVID-19 pandemic significantly affected influenza vaccination and health screening rates among Korean adults but affected specific populations differently.","PeriodicalId":55570,"journal":{"name":"Asia-Pacific Journal of Public Health","volume":" ","pages":"497-500"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144644239","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study included 229 237 participants who reported on their COVID-19 vaccination experiences as part of the 2021 Korea Community Health Survey. Using multiple logistic regression, we analyzed the impact of health information literacy on vaccination status, adjusting for sociodemographic and personal hygiene factors, and calculated the odds ratio with 95% confidence intervals. Individuals who have difficulty understanding health information were at increased risk of being unvaccinated against COVID-19. Additionally, sociodemographic factors and hand hygiene independently influenced vaccination status. Notably, health literacy showed an age-dependent relationship with COVID-19 vaccination, with individuals below 45 and above 75 years old having a 17% and 32% higher risk of remaining unvaccinated due to difficulties in understanding health information, respectively. To reduce nonvaccination rates, health communication strategies that improve information delivery may be particularly beneficial for both younger and older age groups.","PeriodicalId":55570,"journal":{"name":"Asia-Pacific Journal of Public Health","volume":" ","pages":"482-488"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144531270","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The pooled prevalence of HAIs was estimated using a random-effects model and a 95% confidence interval. The literature search identified 87 studies reporting HAI prevalence in LMICs. The overall prevalence of HAIs across LMICs was 22%. The South-East Asian Region presented the highest prevalence at 37%. In terms of income level, low-income countries had the highest prevalence at 37%. Surgical site infections had the highest prevalence among infection types at 27%.
