Abstract

This study was performed to determine the levels of physical function (ADL, IADL) and to reveal its association with the related factors in the elderly people. The study subjects were 1,756 (male 872, female 884) people aged over 70 who received medical check-ups and long-term care services between 2009 and 2012 from the National Health Insurance Corporation. As a result, the distribution of impaired ADL and IADL increased significantly with age. Logistic regression showed that the risk ratio of impaired ADL was increased significantly in the following groups: female, urban, low weight, stroke history group, smoking, alcohol drinking, and not regular exercise group. The risk ratio of an impaired IADL were increased significantly in the group of females, low weight, smoking, alcohol drinking. On the other hand the risk ratio of an impaired ADL and IADL was similar in each age group. As above results, the levels of ADL and IADL in the study subjects are closely related to the socio-demographic characteristics and health related behaviors. In particular, they suggested that the levels of ADL and IADL were lower in the poor group of the health-related behaviors, such as smoking, alcohol drinking, and regular exercise.

본 연구는 우리나라 고령자들을 연령대별로 70대군, 80대군, 90대군 및 100세 이상 군으로 구분하여 이들의 ADL과 IADL수준을 비교해 보고, 그에 관련된 요인을 규명하고자 시도하였다. 조사대상은 2009~2012년도에 국민건강보험공단의 건강검진 수검 및 장기요양 인정조사를 받았던 70세 이상 고령자 1,756명(남성 872명, 여성 884명)이었다. 연구결과, 조사대상자의 연령대별 ADL과 IADL기능장애군의 분포는 연령대가 증가할수록 유의하게 높아지는 경향을 보였다. 다중 로지스틱 회귀분석 결과 ADL에 대한 기능장애가 나타날 위험비는 각 연령대별로 큰 차이 없이 남성보다 여성에서, 농촌지역보다 도시지역에서, 정상체중군보다 저체중군에서, 뇌졸중 과거력이 없다는 군보다 있다는 군에서, 비흡연군보다 흡연군에서, 비음주군보다 음주군에서, 규칙적인 운동을 한다는 군보다 하지 않는다는 군에서 유의하게 증가하였다. 다중 로지스틱 회귀분석 결과 IADL에 대한 기능장애가 나타날 위험비는 각 연령대별로 큰 차이 없이 남성보다 여성에서, 정상체중군보다 저체중군에서, 비흡연군보다 흡연군에서, 비음주군보다 음주군에서 유의하게 증가하였다. 이상과 같은 연구결과는 조사대상자들의 ADL과 IADL 수준이 여러 인구사회학적 및 건강관련행위특성 변수에 따라 유의한 차이를 보이고 있음을 알 수 있으며, 특히 흡연, 음주 및 규칙적인 운동 등과 같은 건강관련행위특성이 좋지 않은 군에서 ADL과 IADL 수준이 저하되고 있음을 알 수 있다.
