Purpose: This cross-sectional study examined various injury experiences and associated factors among adult males in South Korea from 19 to 64 years of age. Methods: This study used secondary analysis of cross-sectional data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES, 2016–2018) provided a representative dataset of 5,840 males. Data analysis used descriptive statistics, t-tests, chi-square tests, and logistic regression. Results: Transportation accidents were the most common type of injury, particularly among younger (19–29 years) and mid dle-aged adults (40–49 years). Falls were more frequent among older adults (60–64 years). The occupational risks were higher for those engaged in manual labor (OR = 1.64, 95% CI: 1.21–2.22) and those working more than 40 hours a week (OR = 1.42, 95% CI: 1.04–1.93). Significant factors associated with injury included lower educational attainment (OR = 1.42, 95% CI: 1.04–1.93), higher stress (OR = 1.38, 95% CI: 1.05–1.82), and insufficient sleep (OR = 1.33, 95% CI: 1.03–1.72). Conclusion: Therefore, targeted interventions that reduce stress, promote sufficient sleep, and foster a healthy work–life balance are critical for preventing injuries in this population and improving overall well-being.
