Abstract

This study investigated the risk factors of hypertension among individuals under and over 65 years of age. A total of 6,152 participants were analyzed using the 6th Korean Longitudinal Study of Aging. The collected data were analyzed by Chi-square tests and logistic regression using SPSS 23. The results showed that the subjective health status, diabetes, heart disease, and degree of obesity according to BMI were risk factors affecting hypertension in individuals both under and over age 65. In adults under age 65, chronic lung disease, digestive disease, and drinking were risk factors affecting hypertension. In elderly over age 65, region, arthritis and rheumatic disease, smoking, and cognitive function were risk factors affecting hypertension. There is a need for chronic disease management in Korea due to rapid aging. In particular, it is important to analyze for effective management age-related risk factors affecting steadily increasing hypertension with age. Therefore, it is necessary to manage chronic disease management through social welfare improvement and welfare plans for the elderly, as well as personal management.

본 연구는 65세 미만 성인과 65세 이상 노인에서 고혈압 위험요인을 파악하기 위한 서술적 조사연구이다. 6차 고령화 연구패널조사를 활용하여 6,152명의 연구대상자를 분석하였으며, 수집된 자료는 SPSS 23을 이용하여 카이검정과 로지스틱 회귀분석을 시행하였다. 고혈압 유병률에 영향을 미치는 위험요인에 대한 로지스틱 회귀분석 결과는 65세 미만 성인과 65세 이상 노인 둘 다에서, 주관적 건강상태, 당뇨병 유무, 심장질환 유무, BMI에 따른 비만정도가 위험요인으로 나타났고, 65세 미만에서는 만성폐질환, 소화기계 질환, 음주가, 65세 이상에서는 거주지역, 관절염 및 류마티스 질환, 흡연, 인지기능 정도가 고혈압에 영향을 미치는 위험요인으로 나타났다. 우리나라는 급속한 고령화 현상으로 인해 체계적이고 정책적인 만성질환관리가 절실하다. 특히, 나이에 따라 꾸준히 증가하는 고혈압에 대한 효과적인 관리를 위해 연령대에 따른 위험요인을 분석하는 것은 중요하다. 따라서 개인적 노후준비 뿐만 아니라 전반적인 사회복지수준 향상 및 노인복지대책을 통해 질병에 대한 관리가 필요하다.
