초록

목적 : 노화에 따른 인지 및 신체기능의 저하는 노인 대상에 흔한 증상이다. 노화에 따른 대표적인 기능저하로 시각과 청각, 인지기능, 일상생활활동의 제한이 있다. 이에 따른 많은 연구들이 각 변수 간의 관계성을 조사하였다. 하지만 네 개의 변수 간의 관계성을 파악한 연구는 미흡하다. 따라서 본 연구에서 시각 및 청각과 일상생활활동 간의 관계에서 인지기능의 매개효과를 알아보고자 한다. 연구방법 : 본 연구의 대상자는 국민건강보험공단에서 제공하는 건강보험자료 공유서비스에서 노인 장기요양 DB의 36,767명을 대상으로 하였다. 독립변수로 시각과 청각 변수를 추출하였고 종속변수로 기본적 및 수단적 일상생활활동 변수를 추출하였다. 매개변수로는 인지기능 변수를 추출하였다. 추출한 변수들을 활용하여 매개효과를 알아보기 위해 경로분석을 진행하였다. 결과 : 대상자는 여성이 27,250명(74.12%)으로 대부분이었으며, 평균 연령은 82.91세(SD = 5.92)이었다. 시각과 기본적 및 수단적 일상생활활동 간의 인지기능 매개효과를 알아본 결과, 시각과 기본적 일상생활활동 간의 관계에서 인지기능이 30%, 시각과 수단적 일상생활활동 간의 관계에서 인지기능이 42% 부분매개 역할을 하였다. 청각과 기본적 및 수단적 일상생활활동 간의 인지기능 매개효과는 기본적 일상생활활동에서 50%, 수단적 일상생활활동에서 53% 부분매개 역할을 하였다. 결론 : 노화에 따른 기능저하와 관련된 예방 프로그램은 많은 국가사업으로 진행되어오고 있다. 본 연구의 결과를 활용한 시각, 청각, 인지기능, 일상생활활동의 관계를 감안하여 예방 프로그램을 수립한다면 성공적인 노화를 도모하는데 도움이 될 것으로 사료된다.

Objective : The typical decline in function due to aging includes limitations in vision, hearing, cognitive function, and activities of daily living. Therefore, this study evaluated the mediating effect of cognitive function on the relationship between vision and hearing and activities of daily living. Methods : The participants in this study were 36,767 persons from the long-term care database on older adults provided by the National Health Insurance Sharing Service. The extracted variables were: (i) independent variables: visual and hearing; (ii) dependent variables: basic and instrumental daily living activities; and (iii) mediator variables: cognitive function. Regression analysis was performed evaluate the mediating effects of the extracted variables. Results : Cognitive function showed a mediating effect of 30% on the relationship between vision and basic daily life activities and 42% in the relationship with instrumental daily life activities. The mediating effect was 50% in the relationship between hearing and basic activities of daily living, and 53% in the relationship with instrumental activities of daily living. Conclusion : Prevention programs for functional decline due to aging are in progress in Korea. Based on the results of this study, establishing a prevention program would help promote successful aging.
