  • Data analyzed from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) 2015-2019.
  • 6,509 participants aged 20 years and older were included in the study.
  • Suicidal ideation was assessed based on serious consideration of suicide in the past year.
  • Multivariable logistic regression and subgroup analyses were performed to identify associations.
  • Unemployed individuals had 1.85 times higher odds of reporting suicidal ideation compared to employed individuals.
  • Adjusted odds ratio was 1.85 with a 95% confidence interval of 1.41–2.44; p<0.001.
