Abstract

This convergence study was conducted to compare difference of risk behaviors and injury incidence between younger(under 65 years) and elderly(over 65 years). For this analysis we used law data of nation-wide community health survey data during August to October 2010. Data of drink-driving, seat belt use, injury incidence rate, type of injury, cause of injury were used for comparison. Seat belt use(85.16% vs 78.81%) was high but drink-driving(12.99% vs 13.24%) was low in elderly. Injury incidence was high especially in falls(1.07% vs 2.22%). In conclusion, elderly do less risk behaviors, but experienced much more injuries especially falls.

본 연구는 노인들의 위험과 관련된 행태 및 손상 관련 특성을 파악하기 위하여 교육학의 개념을 의학에 적용한 융복합 연구이다. 전 국민을 대상으로 2010년 8월에서 10월까지 시행한 '2010년 지역사회건강조사'의 원시자료중 위험행동과 관련된 지표 및 손상발생 관련 지표를 65세 미만과 65세 이상으로 나누어 두 군 간의 차이를 비교분석하였다. 자동차안전벨트 착용률(85.16% vs 78.81%)은 노인에서 높았고 음주운전경험(12.99% vs 13.24%)은 더 낮았다. 오토바이 보호장구는 노인이 더 많이 착용하였으나(60.16% vs 51.87%), 자전거 보호장구는 노인에서 더 적게 착용하였다(2.37% vs 4.82%). 손상경험률은 노인에서 더 높았고(5.6% vs 4.76%) 특히 추락이 많이 발생하였다(1.07% vs 2.22%). 결론적으로 노인들은 청장년층에 비해 위험행동은 적게 하였으나 손상은 더 많이 발생하였다.
