“…Unmet health-related need is important for physical and mental health status as well as social problem 18 . In addition, health-related quality of life was associated with unmet health-related need 19 , and that of Korea was lower than the mean for OECD countries 20 . The causes of unmet health-related need included high out-of-pocket and medical costs and underlying chronic diseases despite Korea’s well-established health insurance system 21 .…”

We aimed to evaluate the association of unmet health-related need with suicidal behaviors among Korean adults. We included 26,219 adults (13,937 men and 17,788 women) aged ≥ 19 years from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2015–2020). Suicidal behavior included suicidal plan and attempt. We analyzed the odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals of suicidal behaviors according to unmet health-related need via multivariable logistic regression analysis and performed stratified analyses according to sex, age, income, education, and type of insurance. Of the participants, 9.6% had unmet health-related need. Suicidal plans and attempts had 1.3% and 0.5% of the participants, respectively. The prevalence of suicidal plans and attempts was 0.9% and 0.4% among participants without unmet health-related need and 3.1% and 1.0% among those with such need, respectively. The odd ratios of suicidal plans and attempts increased significantly among participants with unmet health-related need compared to those without. In subgroup analysis, most subgroups showed similar results, except for suicidal plan and attempt in the 45–64 age group, high education, and medical care and suicidal attempt in 19–44 age group, low-income, and unmarried. Unmet health-related need was independently associated with suicidal plan and attempt. A policy alternative is needed for these associations.

The longest longitudinal study of adults, the 75-year Harvard Study of Adult Development, found that an individual's satisfaction with their relationships was the greatest predictor of happiness and health ( 20 , 21 ).…”
