Abstract

This study surveyed and analyzed on the relationship between obesity and oral health in early child hood and on the oral health realities targeting 90 young children at K Child Care Center where is located in Gangwon-do Province from 10 to 11, June, 2011. As a result, DMF rate accounted for 56.7%. D rate accounted for 42.2%. The young children with the higher age, height in 100~110cm, and weight in 25 kg were indicated to be higher in DF rate than other toddlers. The young children with height in 110~115 cm were indicated to be higher in prevalence of dental caries in deciduous teeth than other young children. It was indicated that the young children in the higher age and weight leads to the higher in DFT index and DFS index. It was indicated that the young children in the more overweight leads to the higher in the index of dental caries in primary teeth, the filling deciduous teeth index, DFT index, DMFS, and DFS index. Accordingly, the child care center needs to systematically perform the oral health education and oral health management for young children, to allow Young children to acquire right food habit, and to pay close attention even to selecting snack.

본 연구는 2011년 6월 10일~11일까지 유아기의 비만과 구강건강과의 관계에 대하여 조사 분석하였다. 연구대상은 강원도에 위치한 K어린이집의 유아 90명을 대상으로 설문조사와 구강검사를 실시하였다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS WIN 15.0프로그램을 이용하여 분석한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 유치우식경험자율은 56.7%이었으며, 유치우식유병자율은 42.2%로 나타났다. 2. 일반적 특성에 따른 유치우식경험율을 조사한 결과 연령이 증가할수록 유치우식경험율이 높게 나타났다. 3. 성장과 비만 정도에 따른 유치우식경험율을 조사한 결과, 신장이 100~110 cm, 체중이 25 kg 이상인 유아가 다른 유아보다 유치우식경험율이 높게 나타났으며, 110~115cm인 유아가 다른 유아보다 유치우식유병율이 높게 나타났다. 4. 일반적 특성에 따른 우식경험유치(면)수를 조사한 결과, 연령이 많은 유아일수록 우식경험유치수와 우식경험유치면수가 높게 나타났다. 5. 성장과 비만 정도에 따른 우식경험유치(면)수를 조사한 결과, 체중이 높은 유아일수록 우식경험유치수와 우식경험유치면수가 높게 나타났으며, 과체중인 유아일수록 우식유치수, 충전유치수, 우식경험유치수와 우식유치면수, 우식경험유치면수가 높게 나타났다. 비만과 치아우식증이 관련성이 있는 것으로 나타났으므로, 보육기관에서는 유아들이 올바른 식습관을 익히도록 유아, 부모(보호자), 보육교사를 대상으로 지속적인 구강보건교육을 통하여 효율적인 구강건강관리에 도움을 주어야 할 것이다. 또한 간식 선택에 있어서도 신중을 기해야 할 것으로 사료된다. 학령전기인 유아를 대상으로 체계적으로 구강보건사업을 실시하여 유치뿐만 아니라 영구치도 효율적으로 관리할 수 있도록 구강보건사업의 연계성을 높여야 할 것이다.
