Abstract

A case-control study was conducted to investigate the risk factors (Part of job, Obesity, Alcohol, Smoking, Milk, Salt. and Family history) for hypertension. We selected 330 hypertension cases (male;247, female;83) and 1,336 controls (male;887, female;449) from employees in Taegu city from 1 May to 30 November, 1908. Data was analysed using a logistic regression model. Statistically significant elevated odds ratio were noted for alcohol (odds ratio=3.23), obesity (odds ratio=2.31), salt(odds ratio=1.75) in male (p<0.05) and those in female were noted for alcohol (odds ratio=16.49), family history(odds ratio=3.70), obesity (odds ratio=1.74) and salt (odds ratio=1.73) (p<0.05). Statistically significant reduced odds ratio was noted for milk in both sexes (odds ratio=0.69 for male and 0.65 for female)(p<0.05) and the dose-response relationship between milk intake and hypertension was confirmed (p<0.05). Therefore, milk seems to be preventive factor for hypertension. Smoking was not significantly associated with hypertension in both sexes. The part of job was significantly associated with hypertension in female by simple analysis (P<0.05) but the relationship was disappeared when multivariate analysis (logistic regression analysis) was done.

고혈압과 관련된 위험요인을 조사하기 위하여 1908년 5월 1일부터 11월 30일까지 대추시내 일반근로자들 가운데 고혈압환자 330명(남자 247명, 여자 83명)과 정상인 1,336명(남자 887명, 여자 449명)을 대상으로 환자-대조군 연구를 실시하였다 성, 연령을 제한요인으로 하여 조사한 위험요인들은 근무부서, 비만도, 음주력, 흡연력, 우유섭취빈도, 식염섭취정도, 고혈압가족력이었다. 다변량분석기법가운데 지수형회귀분석 (logistic regression analysis)에 의해 분석한 결과 남자에서는 음주(odds ratio=3.23), 비만도(odds ratio=2.31), 그리고 식염(odds ratio=1.75)이 고혈압의 위험을 증가시키는데 비해 여자에서는 음주(odds ratio=16.49), 고혈압가족력 (odds ratio=3.70). 비만도(odds ratio=1.74), 그리고 식염(odds ratio=1.73)이 고혈압의 위험을 증가시켰다(p<0.05). 그리고 남녀 모두에서 우유가 고혈압의 위험을 감소시키는 유의한 변수이며(남자 odds ratio=0.69, 여자 odds ratio=0.65) 용량-반응 관계가 있음으로 보아 (p<0.05) 고혈압의 예방요인으로 생각된다. 남녀 모두에서 흡연은 고혈압과 관련이 없었다. 그런데 단순분석결과 여자에서 근무부서가 고협압과 유의한 관련이 있었는데 다변량분석에서는 유의한 관련성이 없었다.
