“…농업인의 비중이 점차 감소하는 추 세에서 농업의 역할이 줄어들어 농업인에 대한 사회적 관심 또한 줄어 왔다 [7,8]. 농업인은 이와 같은 다양한 고위험 유해요인에 노출되고 있 음에도 다른 산업 근로자들보다 위험에 대한 인지도가 낮고 업무상 재해 및 질환 방지에 대한 예방 활동이 미흡하다 [9].…”

Objectives: This study aims to identify the major diseases among farmers through disease prevalence and proposes the necessity of essential disease management services tailored to the occupational characteristics prevalent among farmers.Methods: Using data from National Health Insurance Services (NHIS), individuals who were eligible for agricultural insurance premium reduction benefits were identified, and individuals meeting these criteria and those who did not were sampled in a 1:1 ratio. Subjects were defined as farmers and non-farmers by categorizing individuals who were classified as farmers for two consecutive years, 2018 and 2019, and those who were not. Age-standardized disease prevalence rates for 21 major disease categories were examined among farmers and non-farmers, and health examination participation rates were compared.Results: Farmers exhibited higher disease prevalence in categories such as ‘External causes of morbidity and mortality’, ‘Codes for special purposes’, and ‘Injury, poisoning, and certain other consequences of external causes’. Particularly in ‘External causes of morbidity and mortality’ and ‘Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes’ the differences between farmers and non-farmers were significantly pronounced. Additionally, the health examination participation rate among the farmers was notably lower compared to the general population.Conclusions: To enhance the health status of farmers, a multifaceted approach and policy support must be established to ensure that universal healthcare does not exclude them due to regional characteristics. The study anticipates that its findings will be foundational for expanding the pilot project targeting female farmers’ special health examinations, eventually encompassing all farmers.

BACKGROUND: Although the number of farmers in Korea is declining, the proportion of older farmers aged ≥60 increases. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to analyze gender differences in working conditions, exposure to risk factors, and health problems of older crop farmers aged ≥60. METHODS: This study used data from the 5th Korean Working Conditions Survey (KWCS) data of 818 male and 985 female crop farmers aged ≥60 years. RESULTS: This study showed that older female farmers had higher ratios of living alone (45.0% vs. 13.4%, p < 0.001), lower education levels (80.7% vs. 53.4%, p < 0.001), and lower average incomes (1.565 vs. 2.036 million KRW, p < 0.001) than that of males. Among subjective scores on the exposure of risk factors, only females’ repetitive motion (4.923) and awkward posture (4.415) scores were higher than that of males’ repetitive motion (4.601) (p < 0.001) and awkward posture (4.159) scores (p = 0.001). However, female’s health problem rates on upper limb pain (68.3%), lower extremity pain (67.6%), backache (48.4%), overall fatigue (44.8%), and headache and eyestrain (25.0%) were higher than that of male’s complaint rates on upper limb pain (48.5%) (p < 0.001), lower extremity pain (53.3%) (p < 0.001), backache (35.0%) (p < 0.001), overall fatigue (39.5%) (p = 0.024), and headache and eyestrain (19.4%) (p = 0.005). The rate of depression symptoms in females (54.6%), with a high proportion of single-person households, was higher than that of males (46.9%) (p = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: The musculoskeletal pains and depression symptoms of older female farmers are prevalent, and efforts and support are required to improve working conditions.
