Abstract

This study was conducted to identify the oral health status and management behavior and dental use behavior according to the level of education and income of the elderly, and to present the supporting data to prepare policies and systems for the promotion of elderly oral health. The data survey was conducted on 224 elderly people living in the Daejeon area from August 19, 2019 to October 25, 2019, and the collected data were analyzed by chi-square test and logistic regression analysis. As a result, oral health status and management behavior showed significant differences according to education and income level in denture use, implant use, oral hygiene product use, oral health education experience, and oral health management method. There was a significant difference in dental use behavior according to education and income level, and age, education level, implant use, and the main reasons for dental use were found to be factors affecting dental use. Therefore, it is expected that the quality of life of the elderly's oral health can be improved by preparing an institutional plan at the national that considers education and income level based on this study.

본 연구는 노인들의 교육과 소득정도에 따른 구강건강상태 및 관리행태와 치과이용행태를 파악하여, 노인구강건강 증진에 대한 정책과 제도를 마련하기 위한 근거자료를 제시하고자 실시하였다. 자료조사는 2019년 8월 19일부터 2019년 10월 25일까지 대전지역에 거주하는 노인 224명을 대상으로 실시하였으며, 수집된 자료는 chi-square test와 logistic regression analysis 등으로 분석하였다. 그 결과 구강건강상태 및 관리행태는 틀니사용, 임플란트사용, 구강위생용품사용, 구강보건교육경험, 구강건강관리방법에서 교육과 소득정도에 따라 유의한 차이를 보였다. 치과이용행태도 교육과 소득정도에 따라 유의한 차이를 보였으며, 연령, 교육 정도, 임플란트사용 여부, 치과이용의 주된 이유가 치과이용에 영향을 미치는 요인으로 나타났다. 이에 본 연구를 토대로 교육 및 소득정도를 고려한 국가적 차원의 제도적 방안이 마련되어 노인들의 구강건강의 삶의 질이 향상될 수 있기를 기대한다.
