Abstract

This study aimed to identify the relationship between depression of the elderly and low back pain. Data were obtained from cross-sectional surveys conducted as a part of the Community Health Survey 2008. The final analysis included data from 3,647 of the 3,649 elderly participants (aged over 65 years), as 2 responses were excluded since they were inaccurate. Data were analyzed with SPSS for Windows (ver. 19.0), using a Rao-Scott ${\chi}^2$-test and Logistic regression by applying a proper weighting. The significance threshold was set as p<0.05. Factors related to the depression of the elderly were low back pain, subjective health status, average sleep duration. Further, depression score was 1.38 times higher in elderly adults with low back pain than elderly adults without low back pain. In order to decrease depression of the elderly with low back pain the development of a program to decrease activities of daily living discomfort and management of low back pain will need to be determined. It is considered necessary to conduct further study to follow through the analysis of the various variables by applying them to the elderly with low back pain and depression.

본 연구는 지역노인을 대상으로 요통과 우울과의 관련성을 살펴보고자 시행되었다. 2008년 지역사회건강조사 자료에서 65세 이상 노인 3,649명 중 응답이 불충분한 2명을 제외한 3647명을 최종 대상으로 선정하여, 자료는 SPSS Win(ver.19.0)을 이용하여 가중치를 적용하여 복합표본 분석방법 중 Rao-Scott ${\chi}^2$-test, 로지스틱회귀분석을 실시하였다. 통계적으로 유의성은 p<0.05로 하여 분석하였다. 노인의 우울에 대한 관련요인으로 요통, 주관적 건강수준, 평균수면시간이 관련이 있는 것으로 나타났고, 요통이 없는 군에 비해 있는 군에서 우울이 1.38배 높게 나타났다. 요통이 있는 노인의 우울을 감소시키기 위해서는 일상생활의 불편함을 감소시키는 프로그램이 필요할 것으로 판단되며, 요통이 있는 노인의 우울과 관련하여 본 연구보다 더욱 다양한 변수를 적용한 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
