The survey was conducted with 178 outpatients diagnosed with reflux esophagitis at C university hospital. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation, and multiple regression using SPSS win ver 20. We found that alcohol consumption, BMI, perceived benefit, internal control level, and perceived health status of the patients are significant factors influencing health promotion behavior. The explanatory power was 49%. Therefore, this study is consistent with previous studies that elucidated that changing lifestyle behaviors and obesity control are necessary to alleviate reflux esophagitis.

본 연구는 한국인 노년층이 대표적으로 섭취하는 강도별 음식을 조사하고 각 음식별로 씹어 먹을 수 있는 음식들이 무엇인지를 조사하여 자신이 보유하고 있는 자연치아수와의 상관관계를 알아보아 자연치아의 건강도를 유지, 관리, 예방하는데 하나의 지표로 사용하고 더 나아가 국민구강건강향상에 이바지 하고자 실시되었다. 전국의 60세 남 녀 586명을 대상으로 치과의사와 치과위생사가 구강검사와 면접법으로 설문내용을 기록하는 방식으로 진행하였다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS WIN 14.0 프로그램을 이용하여 분석하였다. 분석기법으로는 잔존치아수와 저작능력간의 관계를 상관계수와 회귀분석으로 분석 검증을 실시하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 저작능력과 구강상태와는 치석, 동요도, 충전점수, 우식경험점수, 발거치아수, 임플란트 수, 자연치아수와 나이, 고혈압, 당뇨병, 기타질환, 흡연이 유의한 것으로 나타났다(p<0.05). 2. 회귀분석 결과 나이가 높을수록 저작능력이 감소하며, 자연치아수가 많을수록 저작능력이 높은 것으로 나타났으며 회귀방정식은 저작능력=79.417-(연령$\times$0.281)+3.813$\times$치아수와 같았다(p<0.05). 3. 회귀분석결과 저작능력점수와 자연치아수와의 관계가 가장 높은 것으로 나타났고 회귀방정식은 저작능력=3.817$\times$자연치아+58.694와 같았다(p<0.05). 4. 자연치아로 식사를 하기 위해서는 한국 노인의 주식인 밥과 김치정도를 잘 씹어 먹으려면 잔존 자연치아수가 18개 정도는 있어야 아주 잘 씹어 먹을 수 있고, 잘 먹으려면 12개의 자연치아가 있어야 하며, 육류를 잘 먹기 위해서는 최소한 18개는 있어야 잘 먹을 수 있고, 25개가 있으면 아주 잘 씹어 먹을 수 있다는 연구결과가 나왔다.
