Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate oral health status using oral health index in the elderly population and determine methods for improving oral health status. The date collected from 'The fifth korean national health and nutrition examination survey 2010' was analyzed in this study. The subjects included in this study were 712 elderly people, aged 65 years or older and who had completed the oral examination, health questionnaires and nutrition examination. Statistical analysis was done using the SPSS 19.0 for Windows. We determined Frequency analysis and multiple regression analysis. General characteristics and oral health behaviors showed differences in number of teeth associated with as male, the lower age, as dong, the higher education level, the lower smoking, the more use oral health goods, in DMFT associated with the lower age, the lower income level, the higher education level, in FS-T associated with as female, the higher income level, the more use brushing, in T-Health associated with as male, the lower age, as dong, the lower smoking, the more use oral health goods, in CPI associated with as male, the lower age, as dong, the lower smoking, the more use oral health goods. In conclusion, oral health behavior have effect on oral health index, in order to improve the quality of life and promote oral health of the elderly, oral health education system should be organized. Local governments should be supported active and various oral health program for the elderly.

본 연구는 한국 노인의 인구사회적인 특성과 구강보건행위가 구강건강상태에 미치는 요인을 조사함으로써 향후 노인대상의 구강건강사업에 필요한 기초자료를 제공하고자 한다. 본 연구자료는 2010년 1월부터 12월까지 질병관리본부에서 시행한 '국민건강영양조사 제5기 1차년도(2010) 자료'를 활용 구강검사 까지 완료한 65세 이상 노인 1419명중 검사가 미흡한 노인 707명을 제외한 712명을 최종 연구대상으로 하였다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS 19.0 프로그램을 이용하여 전산통계 처리하였으며, 분석방법은 빈도분석, 다중회귀분석을 이용하였다. 잔존치아 수에 미치는 요인은 성별이 남성일수록, 나이가 적을수록, 거주지가 동일수록, 교육수준이 높을수록, 흡연량이 적을수록, 구강건강용품 사용이 많을수록 높게 나타났고, DMFT 지수에 영향을 미치는 요인은 나이가 적을수록, 소득이 낮을수록, 교육수준이 높을수록 DMFT 지수가 낮게 나타났고, CPI 지수에 영향을 미치는 요인은 성별이 남성일수록, 나이가 적을수록, 거주지가 동일수록, 흡연량이 적을수록, 구강건강용품 사용이 많을수록 CPI지수가 낮게 나타났고, FS-T 지수에 영향을 미치는 요인은 성별이 여성일수록, 소득이 높을수록, 잇솔질 횟수가 많을수록 FS-T 지수가 높은 것으로 나타났고, T-Health 지수에 영향을 미치는 요인은 성별이 남성일수록, 나이가 적을수록, 거주지가 동일수록, 흡연량이 적을수록, 구강건강용품 사용이 많을수록 T-Health 지수가 높게 나타났다. 이상의 결과를 토대로 구강보건행위는 구강보건지수에 영향을 미치고 있음을 알 수 있었고, 향후 노인의 구강건강을 증진시키기 위해서는 체계적인 구강건강교육과 국가적 지원이 필요하다고 사료된다.
