Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the association between perceived periodontal status and sexual function among adult men. Three hundred thirty adult male participated in this study living at Changwon and Jinju. All the participants surveyed the socio-demographic characteristics, perceived periodontal status, stress, and international index of erectile function (IIEF) using self-administrated questionnaire. The univariate and multivariate analyze were adapted to access the crude and adjusted associations using PASW Statistics 18.0. In univariate analysis, there were significant differences between perceived periodontal status and IIEF and most of socio-demographic characteristics (p<0.05), but no significant differences between stress and all of socio-demographic characteristics (p>0.05). The sexual function was negatively correlated with perceived periodontal status (r=-0.228, p<0.001) and stress (r=-0.257, p<0.001), respectively. In multivariate analysis, perceived periodontal status was significantly associated with sexual function (b=-0.889, p=0.030) after adjusting for socio-demographic characteristics and stress. Therefore, it is found that perceived periodontal status negatively influenced on sexual function in adult men.

본 연구는 경상남도 통합 창원시와 진주시에 거주하는 20세 이상 70세 미만의 기혼 성인 남성들을 대상으로 주관적 치주건강상태가 성기능에 미치는 영향을 파악하고자 하였다. 설문대상자를 편의표본추출법으로 선정한 후 연구의 취지와 목적을 설명하고 최종 330부를 최종 분석에 이용하였다. 수집된 자료를 바탕으로 대상자의 인구사회학적 특성분포와 인구사회학적 특성에 따른 주관적 치주건강상태와 스트레스 및 성기능의 차이를 파악하고 주관적 치주건강상태와 스트레스 및 성기능간의 상관관계, 그리고 인구사회학적 특성 및 스트레스 요인을 보정한 후 주관적 치주건강상태가 성기능에 미치는 영향력을 평가한 결과는 다음과 같다. 대상자의 주관적 치주건강상태는 평균 2.17점이었다. 연령이 증가할수록, 학력수준이 낮을수록, 월수입이 낮을수록 그리고 전신질환이 없는 군의 주관적 치주건강상태 점수가 높아 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었다(p<0.05). 대상자의 스트레스 점수는 평균 15.68점이었고, 고려된 인구사회학적 특성에 따른 스트레스의 차이는 모두 통계적으로 유의하지 않았다(p>0.05). 또한 대상자의 성기능 점수는 평균 51.56점이었고, 연령이 '60세 이상'인 군, 학력수준이 '고졸이하'인 군, 월수입이 '300만원 미만'인 군, 현재 흡연군 그리고 전신질환이 있는 군의 성기능이 다른 군에 비해 낮아 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었다(p<0.05). 주관적 치주건강상태(r=-0.228)와 스트레스(r=-0.257)는 성기능과 유의한 음의 상관이 있어, 주관적 치주건강상태가 나쁠수록 그리고 스트레스가 많을수록 성기능이 낮은 경향이 있었다. 대상자의 인구사회학적 특성과 스트레스를 보정한 후 주관적 치주건강상태가 성기능에 미치는 영향력은 통계적으로 유의하여 주관적 치주건강상태가 1단위 나빠질수록 성기능도 0.889점 감소하였다(b=-0.889, p=0.030). 이상의 결과를 종합해 보면 주관적 치주건강상태와 성기능은 통계적으로 유의한 관련성이 있으므로, 치주상태를 효과적으로 관리할 수 있는 구강건강관리프로그램이 건강한 성생활을 유지하는 데 도움이 될 수 있겠다.
