Net Reproduction Number as a Real-Time Metric of Population Reproducibility
Between 1962 and 1993, Korea implemented a successful family planning policy. In 1993, this policy was discontinued; in 2004, childbirth-promoting policies were implemented (Multimedia Appendix 1). In 2023, Korea had the lowest fertility rate (0.8) worldwide [1]. The total fertility rate (TFR), the average offspring number per childbearing-age females (15‐49 years), is a common metric to assess population change potential.

South Korea experiences one of the fastest rates of population aging in the world, with 40% of its population expected to be aged over 65 years by 2050 [3]. The country is already experiencing a deficit in health insurance budget [4]. Proactive identification of individuals who are likely to incur high health care costs and utilization is critical for developing strategies to control health care expenditures in the aging society.

A previous study [10] calculated the Beers Criteria drug prescription and the incidence of side effects in persons aged 65 years or older in Korea. The top 3 drugs (metoclopramide, chlorpheniramine, and ketoprofen) were selected based on prescriptions and side effects reported in the clinical environment of Konyang University Hospital [11]. Therefore, the focus of this study was on ketoprofen.

Despite a slowdown in the rise of hypertension prevalence, its rate continued to steadily increase during the pandemic period in South Korea [5]. Because of the interaction between COVID-19 and angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), there is speculation that COVID-19’s pathogenesis could be linked to hypertension [6,7]. Several reports have noted that individuals who contract COVID-19 may have a higher likelihood of developing hypertension compared with those who have not contracted the virus [8,9].

In Korea, the aging population is progressing more rapidly than in other countries; it is expected that the proportion of the older adult population will exceed 20% in 2025, 30% in 2035, and 40% in 2050 [2]. To maintain quality of life with longevity, managing chronic disease is important in this population.

About 12% to 14% of wage workers in Korea are shift workers, and weekly working hours vary from 50 hours to 58 hours depending upon the shift types, which is significantly higher than for day workers [23]. Shift work and long working hours are well-known risk factors for several chronic diseases. However, the prevalence of multimorbidity and its associated factors in Korean shift workers are rarely reported.

In South Korea, Naver [18] is the largest and the most popular search engine, with Google being less popular [19]. Naver Datalab [20] is a free service that provides the search volumes and trends of specific terms in the same way as Google Trends. However, unlike in Google Trends, in Naver Datalab, it is possible to extract the search volume of a given term for each day according to the RSV.

Suicide is a greater issue for South Korea, which has been rated as the leading country for suicide among all Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development countries for several years [31]. To date, 3 studies have used Korean National Death Registration data or National Health Insurance (NHI) service data, from 2002 to 2013, to study the factors associated with suicide rate trends in South Korea [8,18,32].
