Abstract

Objectives: This study was performed to find the differences in physical activity according to general characteristics and factors related to physical activity between the elderly over 65 with hypertension living rural and urban areas. Methods: This study included 681 participants (221 rural, 460 urban) with hypertension from The Fifth Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES V). The collected data were analyzed through an $x^2$-test to examine the differences in physical activity and multiple logistic regression to assess factors related to physical activity between the elderly over 65 with hypertension living rural and urban areas. Results: The significant statistical factors related with physical activities for the urban hypertension group were education level, activities of daily living, and quality of life. However, the related factors for rural residents were activities of daily living and limitation of activity. Conclusions: The study results indicated that the factors that affected the level of physical activity revealed difference in case hypertension between the urban and rural groups. An awareness of the importance of physical activity will have a positive influence on improving the physical function and quality of life for elderly people with hypertension.

본 연구는 도시와 농촌 지역에 있어서 만성질환 노인의 일반적 특성에 따른 신체활동 실천율의 차이와 신체활동 관련요인을 알아보았다. 연구결과, 일반적 특성에 따라서는 도시의 경우 연령이 낮을수록 근력 운동을, 여자보다 남자에서 걷기, 유연성 운동, 근력 운동을, 배우자가 있는 경우 유연성 운동과 근력 운동을 각각 많이 하였다. 또한, 아파트 거주자가 걷기, 유연성 운동, 근력 운동을, 소득수준이 높을수록 유연성 운동을, 교육수준이 높을수록 걷기, 유연성 운동, 근력 운동을 각각 많이 하였다. 농촌의 경우도 아파트 거주자가 유연성 운동을, 교육수준이 높을수록 걷기, 유연성 운동, 근력 운동을 각각 많이 하였다. 신체활동 관련 요인은 도시의 경우 교육수준, 일상생활활동, 삶의 질이었고, 농촌의 경우는 활동제한, 일상생활활동이었다. 연구 결과를 종합하면 전반적으로 도시와 농촌 고혈압 노인 모두 낮은 신체활동 실천율을 보였으며, 일반적 특성에 따라서도 실천율에 차이를 보였고, 신체활동 관련 요인도 차이를 보였다. 따라서 도시와 농촌 모두 기초체력을 증진하고 유지시킬 수 있는 관련 특성을 고려한 체계적인 신체활동 프로그램 개발이 시급히 이루어져야한다.
