지난 30여년 동안 급속한 경제 성장과 생활 양식의 변화는 우리 사회에 많은 변화를 초래하였고 한국인의 질병 양상에도 많은 영향을 주었다. 동물성 식품과 지방질 섭취의 증가, 신체활동 감소,노령인구 증가, 생활양식의 서구화 및 도시화 등은 한국인에서 만성질환의 발생과 이환을 증가시키고 있다. 통계청의 2001년 사망원인통계를 보면 1위가 암, 2위가 뇌혈관 질환, 3위가 심장질환, 4위가 당뇨병, 5위가 간질환으로 모두 잘못된 생활습관으로 인한 만성질환이다. 이중에서도 당뇨병은 지난 1991년 이후 암 다음으로 많이 증가한 질병으로 인구 10만명 당 23.8명이 당뇨병으로 사망했으며 하루 평균 당뇨병으로 31명이 사망한다. 2002년 4월, 대한당뇨병학회의 "한국인의 당뇨병 발생 현황 보고"에 따르면 우리나라 성인의 당뇨병 유병률은 10%선으로 최소 3백만명에서 최대 5백만명 정도가 당뇨병을 앓고있다. 우리나라는 식생활의 서구화, 고령화 등으로 당뇨병 환자가 급증하고 있어 생활 양식의 개선이 이루어지지 않을 경우 앞으로 10년 안에 전체 국민의 1/4정도인 1천2백만명 가량이 당뇨병으로 고통을 받게 될 것이라 한다. 당뇨병은 당뇨뿐만 아니라 그에 따른 만성 합병증이 매우 무서운 병으로 일단 발병하면 적극적인 치료에도 불구하고 정상으로 회복되기 어렵다. 따라서 합병증의 효과적인 예방을 위해서는 특별한 임상 증상이 없더라도 당뇨병을 처음 진단 받은 날부터 주기적인 검진을 통하여 조기에 발견해 낼수 있도록 노력하여야 한다. 이와 더불어 주기적인 혈액 검사와 주치의 면담을 통하여 정상 혈당을 유지할 수 있는 혈당 조절 방법과 함께 만성 합병증을 예방할 수 있는 생활 습관 개선(금연, 금주,표준체중 유지,규칙적 운동,정상 혈압 유지,정상 혈중 지질 유지등)을 반드시 실천하여야 한다.

Objectives: Health behaviors are related to each other, or they may be essentially dependent upon each other. Hence the overall health behaviors of a given population could be better described in terms of health lifestyle patterns. This paper tried to classify such patterns in a sample population and suggest the socioeconomic and demographic characteristics of each groups. Methods: A sample population comprised of 2,775 adults who reported their health behaviors in a public health survey were classified according to their smoking, drinking, diet, and exercise related pattern of behaviors. Clustering analysis was used to classify them. Results: Six health lifestyle patterns were identified. Individuals in the passive lifestyle cluster (48.3%) had no active health promoting activities, but did avoid risk taking health behaviors. 24.8% of the sample (Health promoting lifestyle) had an overall healthy lifestyle. 13.5% of the sample were in the smoking cluster, and 8.4% were in the alcohol drinking cluster. The hedonic lifestyle (4.5%) was characterized by heavy smoking, alcohol drinking and poor diet and exercise. 0.7% of the sample (Smoking-Drinking lifestyle) had heavy smoking and drinking, but good diet and exercise. Each group could be characterized by sex, age, and income. Conclusions: A population sample of Seoul adults were successfully clustered into six health lifestyles. The socioeconomic and demographic characteristics were suggested for the characterization of the each health lifestyle groups. We can approach to a certain target population with specific strategy.
