Association between behavioral and sociodemographic factors and high subjective health among adolescents: a nationwide representative study in South Korea.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The need to understand subjective health has increased during the COVID-19 pandemic, given its substantial impact on lifestyle habits and perceptions. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the trends and association of subjective health with demographic and behavioral factors, primarily focusing on the change when the COVID-19 pandemic emerged. This study used data from the Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-based Survey, comprising 1,190,468 adolescents aged 12-18 years (female, 48.49%). We investigated the trends and association of subjective health with demographic and behavioral factors from 2006 to 2023. A weighted linear regression and joinpoint regression were conducted to evaluate the trend in adolescent subjective health, while logistic regression was used to assess associated factors. A stratification analysis was performed for subgroups to determine variations across different demographic and behavioral groups. The prevalence of reporting high subjective health increased throughout the years before the COVID-19 pandemic; however, subjective health exhibited a decreasing trend during the pandemic. Regarding demographic factors, female sex (ratio of odds ratio [ROR], 0.85 [95% CI, 0.83-0.87]), low-income households (ROR, 0.67 [95% CI, 0.64-0.69]), and low academic achievement (ROR, 0.83 [95% CI, 0.81-0.85]) were associated with less likelihood of reporting high subjective health. Healthier behavioral factors (ROR, breakfast consumption, 1.13 [95% CI, 1.10-1.16]; sufficient fruit intake, 1.12 [95% CI, 1.09-1.15]; sufficient physical activity, 2.02 [95% CI, 1.95-2.09]) were associated with higher subjective health, and the disparities increased during the COVID-19 pandemic. To address the observed decline in subjective health among adolescents during the COVID-19 pandemic, targeted interventions aimed at promoting healthy behaviors among particularly vulnerable demographics are crucial.
