Abstract

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the prevalence and related risk factors of problem drinking in the Korean adult population. Participants (n=7,867) aged 19 years or older were selected from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey [KNHANES] of 2007-2008. Sociodemographic characteristics and AUDIT score were obtained from the KNHANES dataset. AUDIT scores were categorized into three groups, including low risk, intermediate risk, and high-risk alcohol drinking according to WHO guidelines. In this study, the prevalence of high-risk and intermediate-risk alcohol drinking were 12.2% and 21.0%, respectively. Adjusted mean AUDIT score was higher in men, younger individuals, as well as those with lower education levels and those that smoked. Results revealed that demographic variables, including sex, age, education level, and smoking, were important factors affected high-risk drinking. In particular, since smoking was the most significant risk factor, the adjusted odds ratio for high-risk drinking among participants that smoked was 4.78 [(95% confidence interval (CI)=3.75-6.10, p<.0001)]. This study suggests that men, younger age, low educational level, and smoking are the risk factors for a high-risk alcohol drinking.

본 연구는 한국 성인의 문제음주 유병률과 문제음주에 영향을 주는 위험요인을 살펴보고자 시행하였다. 연구 대상자는 2007년과 2008년에 수행된 국민건강영양조사에 참여한 19세 이상 성인 7,867명을 대상으로 하였다. 자료 분석을 위해 대상자의 인구사회학적 특성, 건강관련 자료, 알코올 사용 장애 선별검사(Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test, AUDIT) 자료를 국민건강영향조사 데이터베이스에서 추출하였고 AUDIT 점수별로 문제음주 저위험군, 중간위험군, 고위험군으로 분류하여 분석하였다. 연구결과, 문제 음주 중간위험군은 21.1%, 고위험군은 12.2%로 나타났고 각 군에서 AUDIT 점수의 평균치를 비교한 결과 남성, 젊은 연령층, 낮은 교육수준, 흡연하는 경우 높은 평균 점수를 보였다. 로지스틱 회귀분석을 통해 고위험군의 음주 위험도에 영향을 미치는 요인을 살펴본 결과 연령, 성별, 교육수준, 흡연으로 확인하였으며 특히 이러한 위험 인자 중 흡연이 고위험 음주에 대한 위험도를 4.78배[(95% confidence interval (CI)=3.75-6.10, p<.0001)] 높여 제일 중요한 위험요인인 것으로 분석되었다. 본 연구 결과는 여러 가지 사회문제를 야기 시키고 많은 질병 부담의 원인이 되는 문제 음주에 대한 개선 및 적절한 음주 소비를 위한 다양한 음주관리 보건정책 및 건강증진 프로그램에 활용될 수 있을 것이다.
