Breastfeeding Rate

Many efforts have been launched to promote breastfeeding in Korea. However, breastfeeding trends and associated factors with breastfeeding in Korea remain unknown. This study aimed to examine trends and determinants in breastfeeding using the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) (2010–2018). We analyzed data from the KNHANES V (2010–2012), VI (2013–2015), and VII (2016–2018). A total of 9232 women aged 19–49 years were included in this study. We performed multivariable logistic regression analyses to investigate breastfeeding prevalence trends and associated factors with breastfeeding. Compared to 2010–2012, the odds ratio associated with breastfeeding during 2013–2015 and 2016–2018 increased to 1.30 (95% confidence interval (CI): 1.11–1.51) and 1.40 (95% CI: 1.21–1.63), respectively. The breastfeeding rate was associated with 40–49 years (OR, 95% CI: 0.47, 0.34–0.64 compared to 19–29 years), richer and poorer income (1.20, 1.03–1.39 in richer group and 1.24, 1.05–1.46 in poorer group compared to richest group), education level (0.74, 0.65–0.86 in ≤12 years of education compared to ≥13 years of education), smoking status (1.77, 1.38–2.28 in non-smoking compared to smoking), and self-rated health (1.40, 1.14–1.70 in good and 1.20, 1.00–1.44 in average compared to bad). Education programs and policies such as the Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative (BFHI) and mother-friendly workplaces are necessary to increase the rates of breastfeeding in these groups.

ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE To analyze the prevalence and associated factors regarding the use of medicines by self-medication in Brazil. METHODS This cross-sectional population-based study was conducted using data from the PNAUM (National Survey on Access, Use and Promotion of Rational Use of Medicines), collected between September 2013 and February 2014 by interviews at the homes of the respondents. All people who reported using any medicines not prescribed by a doctor or dentist were classified as self-medication practitioners. Crude and adjusted prevalence ratios (Poisson regression) and their respective 95% confidence intervals were calculated in order to investigate the factors associated with the use of self-medication by medicines. The independent variables were: sociodemographic characteristics, health conditions and access to and use of health services. In addition, the most commonly consumed medicines by self-medication were individually identified. RESULTS The self-medication prevalence in Brazil was 16.1% (95%CI 15.0–17.5), with it being highest in the Northeast region (23.8%; 95%CI 21.6–26.2). Following the adjusted analysis, self-medication was observed to be associated with females, inhabitants from the North, Northeast and Midwest regions and individuals that have had one, or two or more chronic diseases. Analgesics and muscle relaxants were the therapeutic groups most used for self-medication, with dipyrone being the most consumed medicines. In general, most of the medicines used for self-medication were classified as non-prescriptive (65.5%). CONCLUSIONS Self-medication is common practice in Brazil and mainly involves the use of non-prescription medicines; therefore, the users of such should be made aware of the possible risks.
