Abstract

This study aimed to assess trends in the prevalence, treatment, and control of diabetes according to the socio-economic level in Korean adults aged ${\geq}30$ years, using the 2007-2017 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data. Socio-economic status was assessed based on the household income. Multivariable logistic regression and predictive margins were used to evaluate the adjusted proportion of diabetes prevalence, awareness, treatment, and adequate glycemic control. During 2007-2017, the socio-economic inequalities on diabetes prevalence were observed in both men and women. However, the gradient of inequality increased only in men (p for interaction=0.034). Diabetes awareness, treatment, and control did not show socio-economic inequalities or increasing gradients in both sexes. Monitoring of these trends should be continued, and further research on effective interventions is needed.

본 연구에서는 2007년-2017 국민건강영양조사를 이용하여 우리나라의 사회경제적 수준별 당뇨 유병률 격차의 추세 및 당뇨 관리실태 격차의 추세를 살펴보고자 하였다. 사회경제적 수준의 지표로는 가구소득수준을 이용하였으며, 30세 이상 성인을 대상으로 가구소득수준별 당뇨병 연령표준화 유병률, 인지율, 치료율, 혈당조절률을 산출하고 연도별 추세 및 조사연도와 소득수준간의 교호작용을 살펴보았다. 지난 11년간, 우리나라에서 소득수준별 당뇨 유병의 격차는 남녀 모두에서 지속적으로 나타났으며, 남성에서는 소득수준별 격차가 증가하였다 (p for interaction=0.034). 그러나 당뇨의 관리지표인 인지율, 치료율, 혈당조절률은 같은 기간 동안 뚜렷한 소득수준별 격차나 소득수준별 격차의 증감을 보여주지 않았다. 향후 개인의 건강행태, 의료접근성, 지역사회 자원 등 당뇨의 사회경제적 격차를 심화시킬 수 있는 여러 요인들에 대한 생애 전주기적인 심층 연구가 필요하며, 당뇨병 예방관리 정책 수립의 기초자료로서 사회경제적 불평등 추세에 대한 지속적인 모니터링이 필요할 것으로 생각된다.
