Abstract

This study examined the oral health-related quality of life of the elderly using the oral health index and dental prosthesis status, and explored methods to improve the oral health status. The data collected from 'The fifth Korean national health and nutrition examination survey 2010' were analyzed. The subjects were 2273 elderly people, aged 65 years or older, who had completed an oral examination, health questionnaires and nutrition examination. Statistical analysis was done using the SPSS 22.0 for Windows. Frequency analysis, multiple regression analysis and structural equation model were used for statistical analysis. The general characteristics, oral health index and dental prosthesis showed differences in the subjective oral health status associated with as age, ST, FS-T, T-Health, maxillary crown needs, maxillary denture needs, mandibular denture needs, chewing status associated with the income level, FS-T, maxillary crown needs, maxillary denture needs, mandibular denture needs, speaking status associated with the ST, T-Health, maxillary implant status, and maxillary denture needs. In conclusion, both the oral health index and dental prosthesis needs affect the oral health related quality of life of the elderly. Governments should implement a variety of oral health programs and dental prosthesis policies to improve the quality of life related oral health of the elderly.

이 연구는 한국 노인의 구강건강상태와 치과보철물 필요도가 구강건강관련 삶의 질에 미치는 요인을 경험적으로 규명함으로써 향후 노인대상의 구강건강사업에 필요한 기초자료를 제공하고자 한다. 이 연구자료는 2010년 1월부터 12월까지 질병관리본부에서 시행한 '국민건강영양조사 제5기 1차 및 2차년도를 활용 구강검사까지 완료한 65세 이상 노인 2,389명 중 검사가 미흡한 노인 116명을 제외한 2,273명을 최종 연구대상으로 하였다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS 22.0 프로그램을 이용하여 전산통계 처리하였으며, 분석방법은 빈도분석, 다중회귀분석, 구조방정식 모형을 이용하였다. 주관적 구강건강상태에 영향을 미치는 요인은 나이가 적을수록, ST지수가 높을수록, FS-T 지수가 높을수록, T-Health 지수가 높을수록, 상악 크라운 요구도가 낮을수록, 상 하악 의치 요구도가 낮을수록 주관적 구강건강상태가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 씹기문제에 영향을 미치는 요인은 소득수준이 높을수록, T-Health 지수가 높을수록, 상악 크라운 요구도가 낮을수록, 상 하악 의치 요구도가 낮을수록 씹기 문제가 불편하지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 말하기 문제에 영향을 미치는 요인은 ST지수가 높을수록, T-Health 지수가 높을수록, 상악 임플란트 요구도가 낮을수록, 상악 의치 요구도가 낮을수록 말하기 문제가 불편하지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 결과를 토대로 구강건강상태와 치과보철물 필요도는 구강건강관련 삶의 질에 상당한 영향을 미치고 있음을 알 수 있었고, 향후 노인의 구강건강 관련 삶을 증진시키기 위해서는 노인을 위한 구강건강증진사업과 치과보철 사업이 필요가 요구된다.
