Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine whether any correlation exists between the dental health capacity and preferred foods of Korean senior citizens over the age of 65 years. The 5th Korean National Health and Nutrition Survey were used. Tissue health index (T-health), Sound teeth (ST), Functioning teeth index (FS-T), Present teeth (PT), and Missing teeth (MT) were used as variables to assess the dental health capacity of the elderly. Preferred foods of the elderly included 63 foods that were categorized as cereals, pulses and roots, meat and poultry, fish, vegetables, sea algae, fruits, milk and dairy products, cream and sugar, and other foods. For data analysis, the weighted average was taken into consideration to generate planning files, and then complex sample analysis were conducted. For statistical analysis, frequency analysis, t-test, one-way ANOVA, and compound specimen linear regression analysis were conducted. T-health score was significantly high in the group with high preference for cereals, fruits, and other foods. In terms of age and economic status, 65~69 years, 70~74 years, and mid to low range in the income ranges scored high in T-health. ST score was significant in the group that preferred cereals, other foods; the corresponding demographic profiles represent 65~69 years, 70~74 years, and the mid-range income communities. FS-T was significant in relation with a preference for fruits, creams and sugars, other foods; the scores were also high for 65~69 years, 70~74 years, and mid-low to low income groups. PT and MT were significant in the group that preferred cereals and fruits; the same applied for 65~69 years, 70~74 years, and mid-low to low income individuals (p<0.05). Food preferences seemed to vary depending on the dental health state of the elderly, and the dental health state of the elderly may act as a risk factor for nutritional imbalance.

본 연구는 65세 이상 노인들의 치아건강도와 선호식품과의 관련성을 알아보고자 국가통계자료인 2010년과 2011년 국민건강영양조사 원시자료를 분석하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 채소류, 과일류, 기타식품의 선호도가 높은 사람은 T-health 지수와 FS-T 지수가 높았고, ST와 PT도 많은 반면, 채소류, 과일류, 기타식품의 선호도가 낮은 사람은 MT가 많은 것으로 나타났다. T-health 지수는 곡류, 과일류, 기타식품, 65~69세, 70~74세, 소득분위 중하위권과 하위권에서 유의하였고, ST는 곡류, 기타식품, 65~69세, 70~74세, 소득분위 중하위권에서 유의한 영향을 미쳤다(p<0.05). FS-T 지수는 과일류, 유지 및 당류, 기타식품, 65~69세, 70~74세, 소득분위 중하위권과 하위권에서 유의하였으며, PT 및 MT는 곡류, 과일류, 65~69세, 70~74세, 소득분위 중하위권과 하위권에서 유의한 영향을 미쳤다(p<0.05). 이상의 결과를 종합하면, 65세 이상 노인들의 치아건강도와 식품의 선호도는 밀접한 연관성이 있는 것으로 조사되었다. 특히, 노인들의 치아건강도에 따라 선호식품에 차이가 있으며, 노인들의 치아건강상태가 영양불균형을 초래하는 위험요인으로 작용될 수 있다는 것에 주목할 필요가 있다. 따라서 노인들을 비롯한 모든 연령층에서 치아건강을 유지하기 위한 노력이 필요하며, 생애에 걸쳐 구강건강관리 를 할 수 있는 프로그램 마련이 필요할 것으로 판단되었다.
