Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the association between the symptoms of temporomandibular joint disorders and lumbar diseases in adults when the prevalence rate of osteoarthritis is increasing and to help develop health policies that can improve oral health and health in general. The study used representative data from the 5th Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey phase 3 (2012). In total, we analyzed the data of 3,017 individuals aged over 50 years who participated in the health-related survey and underwent radiography of the lumbar joints. PASW statistics ver. 18.0 was used for analysis. This study revealed the following results: 16.1% experienced at least one symptom of temporomandibular joint disorders within the recent single year, 20.6% experienced lower back pain in the recent three months, and 30.6% had lumbar osteoarthritis revealed using radiography of the lumbar joints. Symptoms of temporomandibular joint disorders, lower back pain, and lumbar osteoarthritis were correlated with each other; the respondents who experienced symptoms of temporomandibular joint disorders had 1.70 times (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.30~2.22) higher prevalence of lower back pain and 1.20 times (95% CI, 0.86~1.68) higher prevalence of lumbar osteoarthritis than in those with no such difficulties. The results of this study confirmed that the symptoms of temporomandibular joint disorders affected lumbar diseases in adulthood. Therefore, adequate treatment and prevention of the symptoms of temporomandibular joint disorders in adults is expected to make crucial contributions to decreases in the prevalence rate of lumbar diseases and an improvement in the quality of life.

본 연구는 골관절염의 유병률이 증가하는 시기인 성인을 대상으로 악관절 증상과 요추질환의 관련성 분석을 통해 구강 건강 및 일반적인 건강 향상을 위한 보건정책개발에 도움이 되고자 수행하였다. 대표성이 있는 국민건강영양조사 자료 중 제5기 3차년도(2012년) 자료를 활용하였으며 연구목적에 적합한 만 50세 이상을 대상으로 건강설문 및 요추관절 방사선 검사를 완료한 3,017명을 연구대상으로 분석을 수행하였다. 악관절 증상의 여부는 16.1%가 최근 1년간 악관절 부위에서 이상 증상을 한 가지 이상 경험했다고 답하였다. 요통의 경우 20.6%가 최근 3개월 동안 요통이 있다고 답하였으며, 요추관절 방사선 영상 진단결과에 따른 요추 골관절염이 있는 사람은 30.6%로 나타났다. 악관절 증상을 경험한 사람의 경우 요통 유병위험률이 정상군에 비해 1.70배(95% CI, 1.30~2.22) 증가하는 것으로 나타났으며, 요추 골관절염 유병 위험률은 정상군에 비해 1.20배(95% CI, 0.86~1.68) 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구결과 성인의 악관절 증상이 요추 골관절염 유병위험률과의 관련성에서는 유의하지는 않았지만 요추질환의 전형적인 증상인 요통에는 영향을 미치는 것을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 성인들의 악관절 증상에 대한 적절한 치료 및 예방을 한다면 요추질환 유병률을 낮추고, 삶의 질을 높이는 데 중요한 작용이 될 것으로 판단된다. 또한 향후 악관절 장애와 요추질환에 대한 적절한 관리프로그램 개발 및 체계적인 지원이 필요하다고 생각된다.
