Abstract
This study is based on the data of adults between ages of 19~65 yrs of the National Health and Nutrition Survey 4th in year of 2009, which includes symptoms of temporomandibular disorder within gender and age. Subjects included in this study were 2,738 males and 3,427 females, total of 6,165. All statistical analysis was measured by Window SPSS 17.0K Program (SPSS Inc., Chicago, USA). Prevalence of analysis of gender, age, and symptoms of temporomandibular disorder was measured by descriptive statistics, and in order to find relationship among gender, age, and symptoms of temporomandibular disorder was based on crosstabulation analysis. As results, prevalence of TMJ sound was 10.1%, of TMJ pain was 1.5%, and of TMJ limitation was 2.0%. Among the three symptoms of temporomandibular disorder, subjects who have at least one symptom was 1.2%. Prevalence of TMJ sound, of TMJ pain, and of TMJ limitation in female were 10.7%, 1.8% and 2.2%, respectively, which were greater than in male 9.3%, 1.2% and 1.6% respectively but it was stastically insignificant (p>0.05). Prevalence of TMJ sound, of TMJ pain, and of TMJ limitation in ages between 19~24 yrs were 18.7%, 3.4% and 4.2% respectively, which were higher than any other ages (p<0.05). Also prevalence of having at least one symptom of temporomandibular disorder, at least two, and three all were higher in females but stastically insignificant (p>0.05). On the other hand, prevalence of having at least one symptom of temporomandibular disorder, at least two, and three all were greater in age below 45 yrs and was stastically significant (p<0.05).
