Abstract

Stress is a common risk factor for health and is associated with the endocrine gland and immune system. Studies on the association between stress and biochemical factors have been conducted worldwide, but studies on the association have been rare in South Korea. Therefore, the aims of this study are to analyze the relationship of stress with demographic information and biochemical factors for domestic adults and derive risk factors for stress. For data analysis, stress and normal groups were analyzed using binary logistic regression. In both men and women, age and average daily sleep time during the weekday were highly associated with stress, and the depression score (Patient Health Questionnaire-9) was also highly related with stress. In women, white blood cell levels were highly associated with stress, and in men, red blood cell levels were highly related with stress. These findings will contribute to the prevention of stress and the national health in the future.

스트레스는 건강에 대한 매우 일반적인 위험요소이며 내분비선 및 면역체계와 연관성이 있다. 전 세계적으로 스트레스와 생화학적 요인에 대한 연관성 연구는 일부 진행되었으나, 아직까지 국내에서는 스트레스와 생화학적 인덱스사이에서의 연관성관련 연구는 매우 드물다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 국내 성인을 대상으로 스트레스와 인구학적 정보 및 생화학적 인덱스에 대한 연관성을 분석하고 스트레스에 대한 위험요인을 도출하고자 한다. 데이터 분석을 위해 binary logistic regression을 이용하여 스트레스군과 정상군을 분석하였다. 남녀 모두에서 나이와 주중 하루평균 수면시간이 스트레스와 연관성이 매우 높았고, 우울증 점수(Patient Health Questionnaire-9)도 스트레스와 매우 높은 연관성을 보였다. 여성에서는 백혈구 수치가 스트레스와 매우 연관성이 높았고, 남성에서는 적혈구 수치가 스트레스와 유의성이 높았다. 이러한 연구결과는 향후 스트레스 예방 및 국민건강에 기여할 것이다.
