Abstract

This study was designed to estimate the prevalence of arthritis and to identify subgroups with high prevalence rates of arthritis. Study subjects were 18,406 Korean adults aged 19 and more from the 4th (2007-2009) Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys data. Annual self-reported prevalence and its rate ratios by demographic and behavioral factors were calculated using SAS 9.2 with survey procedure. The result was as follows. The crude prevalence of arthritis was 11.7% (osteoarthritis 10.2% and rheumatoid arthritis 1.7%). The prevalence was increased by age strata (2.4% in 19-44 aged, 16.4% in 45-64, 38.3% in 65 and more). After adjusting for age, we found the subgroups with high prevalence: older people, women, residents in non-apartment area, separated and divorced people, people with low education, people with several occupations (agricultural and fishery workers, elementary occupations, and unemployed), people with low household incomes, people with medical aid, and people with higher BMI. Those subgroups may be target populations in community health programs to control the disability from arthritis.

우리나라 성인의 관절염 유병률 수준을 제시하고, 높은 유병율을 보이는 하위집단을 파악하고자 국민건강영양조사 제4기(2007년-2009년) 자료를 이용하여 고유병률 관련 요인을 분석하였다. 통계분석은 국민건강영양조사의 복합표본설계를 반영한 가중치를 적용하기 위해 SAS 9.2 survey procedure로 실시하였다. 19세 이상 성인 18,406명을 대상으로 '연간 본인 인지 관절염'(이하 관절염) 유병률과 사회인구학적 또는 건강행태 요인별 유병교차비를 분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. 관절염 조유병률은 11.7%였고, 이것의 세부 분류인 골관절염은 10.2%, 류마티스관절염은 1.7%의 유병률을 보였다. 19-44세 연령층에서 2.4%, 45-64세 층이 16.4%, 65세 이상에서 38.3%로 연령층 증가에 따라 급격히 증가하였다. 사회인구학적 측면에서 연령보정 관절염 유병률이 상대적으로 높은 집단은 여성, 비아파트 거주자, 이혼 사별 별거 상태인 경우, 낮은 교육년수, 특정직업군(농림어업 종사자, 단순노무종사자, 무직), 낮은 가구총소득, 의료보호 대상자 집단 등이었다. 건강행태 측면에서 연령보정 관절염 유병률이 상대적으로 높은 집단은 체질량지수(BMI)가 높은 집단이었고, 연령, 성, BMI를 보정한 경우 매일 음주군의 유병률이 상대적으로 높았다. 본 연구에서 파악된 고유병률 집단들은 지역사회 관절염 관리사업의 목표집단으로 고려되어야 할 것이다.
