Abstract

목적: 최근 이명의 발생률이 증가하고 있으나 이명에 대한 정확한 원인 발견이 어려운 실정이다. 한국의 경우도 예외는 아니며, 사회경제적 상태에 따른 이명여부를 분석하고자 한다. 방법: 국민건강영양조사 제 5기(2010-2012)의 원시자료를 이용하였으며, 연구 대상자인 40세 이상 12,041명을 다중 로지스틱 회귀분석을 실시하였다(95% CI). 결과: 40세 이상 중년인구의 사회경제적 상태에 따른 이명여부는 통계학적으로 유의한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이명의 발생여부는 연령이 높을수록(p<.0001), 직업군에 따라서(p<.0001), 대사증후군이 있는 자(p<.0001), 교육수준이 낮을수록(p<.0001), 기초생활수급자(p<.0001), 배우자가 없는 자(p<.0001), 스트레스가 많을수록(p<.0001), 우울증이 높을수록(p=.0034) 이명이 발생하였다. 회귀분석 결과 여성의 경우 대상자의 학력이 초등학교 이하인 그룹에서 교차비가 높았으며(OR:1.784, 1.322-2.408) 소득이 하위계층인 그룹에서 교차비가 높았다(OR:1.591, 1.293-19.58). 하지만 남성의 경우에는 유의한 결과가 나오지 않았다. 결론: 본 연구는 40세 이상 중년인구의 사회 경제적 상태에 따른 이명여부를 파악함으로써 남성보다 여성에서 사회경제적 수준에 따라 이명여부에 영향을 많이 받는 것을 밝혀낸 것에 연구의 의의가 있다.
