Abstract

Objective: This study was to evaluate the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among patients with diabetes in Korea and to compare them with the HRQoL of individuals without diabetes history. Methods: The study subjects were 17,655 adults aged over 19 who participated in the 5th Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2010-2012). The EuroQoL-5Dimension was used to evaluate HRQoL. Chi-square test, t-test, ANOVA and multiple regression analysis were performed to test the difference of HRQoL in diabetic subjects and controls. Results: The mobility dimension was the highest reported problem: 36.4% for diabetic subjects. The proportion of any reported problem was significantly high among diabetic subjects compared with two controls in terms of mobility [reference group: diabetic subjects, chronic controls: adjusted odds ratio (aOR)=0.77, 95% confidence interval (95% CI)=0.66-0.91, healthy controls: aOR=0.61, 95% CI=0.50-0.75], self-care [reference group: diabetic subjects, chronic controls: aOR=0.68, 95% CI=0.55-0.83, healthy controls: OR=0.69, 95% CI=0.51-0.94]. and usual activities [reference group: diabetic subjects, chronic controls: aOR=0.85, 95% CI=0.72-0.99, healthy controls: OR=0.79, 95% CI=0.62-0.98]. Also, EQ-5D index were significantly low in subjects with diabetes compared to two controls. Conclusions: Subjects with diabetes had a significantly lower HRQoL compared with two controls. To improve the quality of life of diabetics, it is necessary to study various variables related to the quality of life, and develop and manage various health programs or welfare policies reflecting socio-demographic characteristics and health related features that affect the quality of life.

본 연구는 우리나라 성인 당뇨병환자의 삶의 질을 평가하고, 당뇨병이 다른 만성질환이나 정상 건강인에 비해 삶의 질이 얼마나 다른지 알아보고, 이에 영향을 미치는 요인들을 분석하고자 하였다. 연구의 대상자는 제5기(2010-2012) 국민건강영양조사 자료 중 건강 설문조사와 검진조사에 모두 응답한 자로서 분석 변수에 결측치가 없는 만 19세 이상 성인 17,655명으로 하였다. 만성질환군 및 정상 건강군에 비해 당뇨병환자에서 삶의 질의 모든 하부영역에 '문제 있다'라고 응답한 분율이 더 높았다. 당뇨병환자에서 삶의 질의 하부 영역 중 운동능력(36.4%)에 문제가 있다고 한 사람이 가장 많았으며, 그 다음으로 통증/불편감(35.4%)이었다. 당뇨병환자와 만성질환군 및 정상 건강군간 삶의 질의 5가지 하부 영역을 비교하기 위해 다중로지스틱회귀분석을 이용하여 당뇨병환자를 기준으로 '문제 있음'에 대한 교차비와 신뢰구간을 계산한 결과 운동능력은 당뇨병 환자에 비해 만성질환군의 OR(95%CI)값이 0.77(0.66-0.91), 정상 건강군이 0.61(0.50-0.75)이었고, 자기관리는 0.68(0.55-0.83), 0.69(0.51-0.94)이었고, 일상활동은 0.85(0.72-0.99), 0.79(0.62-0.98)로 당뇨병환자에 비해 만성질환군과 정상 건강군이 운동능력, 자기관리, 일상활동에 문제가 있을 가능성이 낮았다. 당뇨병환자의 질적인 삶을 영위하기 위해서는 삶의 질과 관련된 다양한 변인 연구들이 꾸준히 이루어져야 할 것이며, 삶의 질에 영향을 미치는 사회 인구학적, 건강관련 특성을 반영한 다양한 건강프로그램이나 복지정책을 개발, 발전하여 지속적으로 관리해야 한다고 사료된다.
