Abstract

Depression is a disease with an increasing prevalence worldwide, and is highly associated with mortality as well as several diseases such as hypertension. The aim of this study is to discover clinical risk indicators associated with depression in the occupational group of simple labor workers. This study used the Seventh Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2016-2018) conducted by the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In association between depression and demographic information, age, sex, degree of stress perception, and stress perception ratio indices had a very high statistical association with depression, and education level and marital status were also associated with depression. Obesity indices such as abdominal circumference and body mass index were not associated with depression. Among the blood information, hemoglobin and hematocrit were highly associated with depression, and statistical significance was maintained even in the analysis adjusted for sex and age. The results of this study can be used as information for the prevention and treatment of depression in the occupational group of simple labor workers in the future.

우울증은 전 세계적으로 유병율이 증가하고 있으며, 고혈압과 같은 여러 질병들뿐만 아니라 사망률과도 연관성이 높은 질병이다. 본 연구의 목적은 한국인 성인 중 단순노무종사자 직업군에서 우울증과 연관성이 있는 임상학적 위험지표를 발굴하는 것이다. 이러한 연구를 위한 데이터로는 질병관리본부 국민건강영양조사 7기 (2016-2018) 데이터가 사용되었다. 우울증과 인구학적 정보와의 연관성에서는 나이, 성별, 스트레스 인지정도, 스트레스 인지율 지표들이 우울증과 매우 높은 통계적 연관성이 나타났고, 교육과 결혼유무도 우울증과 연관성이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 복부둘레 및 체질량지수와 같은 비만 지표들은 우울증과 연관성이 없는 것으로 나타났다. 혈액정보 중 hemoglobin과 hematocrit은 우울증과 연관성이 매우 높은 것으로 나타났으며, 성별과 나이로 보정한 분석에서도 통계적 유의성이 유지되었다. 본 연구결과는 향후 단순노무종사자 직업군의 우울증 예방 및 치료를 위한 정보로 활용가능할 것이다.
