Abstract

Health behavior is one component of life style and is defined as behaviors performed by a person to protect, promote, or maintain the their health. General health behavior habits include not smoking, weight management, moderate drinking, regular exercise. The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between toothbrushing and general health behaviors in 1,013 adults using data from the 2008 Daejeon Health Promotion Survey. Results showed no significant difference by region in general health behavior and toothbrushing. Smoking, alcohol consumption and toothbrushing frequency were related to sex, age, monthly income, occupation, and the degree of obesity. The predictoers of toothbrushing more than a day by losistic regression were female sex (vs. male, OR 1.88, 95% CI 1.20~2.95), age ${\geq}65$ years (vs. twenties, OR 0.51, 95% CI 0.26~0.99), monthly income 2 miillions Korean Won (KRW) to 3 millions KRW (vs. <2 million won, OR 1.58, 95% CI 1.04~2.42), white collar (vs. self-employment, OR 2.74, 95% CI 1.62~4.64), and regular exercise (vs. never, OR 1.60, 95% CI 1.21~2.11). We recommend the independent administration of oral health promotion programs focusing on aged and vulnerable social group because general health behaviors except regular exercise were not related to toothbrushing frequency.

이번 연구는 2008년도 대전시 건강증진사업단이 의뢰하여 한국갤럽조사연구소에서 각 구별 인구분포에 맞게 표본을 추출한 대전 시민 20세 이상 성인 1,013명의 건강실천행위 전화설문조사를 바탕으로 대전 시민의 인구사회학적 특성, 일반건강행위 실천, 칫솔질 횟수의 관계를 분석하였다. 그 결과 흡연은 성별, 연령대, 직업, 비만도에 따른 차이가 있고, 음주는 성별, 연령대, 수입, 직업, 비만도에 따른 차이가 있었다. 또한 신체활동은 성별, 직업에 따른 차이가 있었으며, 칫솔질 빈도는 성별, 연령대, 수입, 직업, 비만도에 따른 차이가 있었다. 로지스틱 회귀분석 결과 1일 2회 이상 칫솔질할 교차비는 남자에 비해 여자가 1.88, 20대에 비해 65세 이상이 0.51, 월수입 200만 원 미만에 비해 200만 원대가 1.58, 규칙적인 운동을 하지 않는 군을 기준으로 운동을 하는 군이 1.60이었다. 점심 후 칫솔질할 교차비는 남자에 비해 여자가 1.76, 20대에 비해 65세 이상이 0.38, 자영업자에 비해 화이트칼라가 3.12, 학생이 2.19, 무직이 1.88, 고강도 신체활동을 안하는 군을 기준으로 하는 군이 1.37, 규칙적인 운동을 안하는 군을 기준으로 하는 군이 1.45이었다. 그러므로, 대상자의 일반적 특성은 구강보건행위와 관계가 있으며 흡연, 음주, 규칙적 운동을 제외한 신체활동 등의 일반건강행위는 구강보건행위는 관계가 없다고 생각되었다. 따라서, 보건소 구강보건사업을 다른 보건사업과는 독립적으로 실행할 수 있으며, 다른 사업과의 통합사업보다는 대상자 특성에 맞는 적절한 구강보건사업이 대전 시민의 구강건강증진에 더욱 효과적일 것이라고 제안한다.
