초록

본 연구는 제 5기 전체(2010~2012)국민건강영양조사 자료를 이용하여 우리나라 노인의 신체활동 정도와 의료이용과의 관련성을 파악하기 위하여 실시하였다. 연구결과에서 비활동적인 신체활동군과 비교하여 활동적 신체활동군의 경우에 입원이용 가능성이 0.54배(OR;95% CI, p<0.001), 외래이용은 0.73배(OR;95% CI, p=0.040), 약국이용은 0.75배(OR;95% CI, p<0.007) 더 낮으것으로 나타났으며, 의료이용 횟수도 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 최소 신체활동군의 경우에 비활동적 신체활동군과 비교하여 입원 의료이용 가능성이 0.64배(OR;95% CI, p<0.001) 낮고, 이용횟수도 감소하는 것을 확인하였다. 결론적으로 노인의 신체활동 정도에 따라서 의료이용과의 관련성을 확인하였다는 데 의의가 있으며, 신체활동을 활발하게 실천하는 것이 노인의 건강증진과 삶의 질을 향상시킬 뿐만 아니라 의료비 지출의 감소에도 도움이 될 것으로 사료된다.

This study examined the relationship between the physical activity levels and health care utilization in Korean elderly based on the data from The fifth Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (K-NHANES V). As a result, physically active participants were 0.54 times (OR;95% CI, p<0.001) less likely to use inpatient health care and 0.73 times (OR;95% CI, p=0.040) less likely to use outpatient health care and 0.75 times (OR;95% CI, p<0.007) less likely to use drugstores than physically inactive participants, and the frequency of health care use was lower. In addition, physically minimal active participants were 0.64 times (OR;95% CI, p<0.001) less likely to use inpatient health care than physically inactive participants; the frequency of other health care facilities was lower. In conclusion, the relationship between being physically active and lower health care utilization among Korean elderly identified in this study. This suggests that being physically active is helpful to the elderly, not only in health promotion and improving quality of life, but also in reduced medical expenditure.
