The study is investigated socioeconomic variations in perceived oral health status and contribution of oral health behavioral factors. A nationally representative sample (365 health and 1,787 unhealth aged 20 over years) from the 2015 Korea National Health and Nutrition Surveys was analyzed using logistic regression. Perceived oral health was lower among lower socioeconomic groups compared with higher socioeconomic groups. This association was increased when demo-socioeconomic factors and oral health behavioral were adjusted. When each oral health behavioral factor was considered separately, mediators such as smoking, frequency of tooth brushing and used oral care products or oral health examination explained a large part of the increased socioeconomic oral health status. Subjective bad oral health arise from different socioeconomic status, but this difference is increased by oral health behavioral factors. Therefore, socioeconomic inequity in perceived oral health status can be corrected more effectively by promotional oral health behaviors.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation between senile eye diseases such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD), glaucoma and oral health behaviors. Data from the Seventh Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES VII-2) were used to analyze oral health behaviors according to the presence of AMD and glaucoma. Demographics and oral behaviors were analyzed using the complex chi-square test and complex logistic regression to compare participants with AMD and glaucoma with those without AMD and glaucoma. According to the presence or absence of AMD and glaucoma, there were statistically significant differences in age, education level, oral care product use, and difficulty in speaking variables. The results of this study provide evidence of a significant association in some variables between oral behaviors and senile eye diseases.

본 연구는 우리나라 청소년의 치주건강상태와 구강건강인식 및 행태간의 연관성을 파악하여 구강건강향상을 위한 방안을 제시하고자 하며, 청소년 치주질환 예방 프로그램의 기초자료를 제공하는데 목적을 두었다. 연구문제의 검증을 위해 2006년도 국민구강건강실태조사의 원시자료를 활용해이중 구강검진과 학생용 면접기록지를 동시에 수행한 만 12~18세의 청소년 총 5,192명을 대상으로 하였다. 분석결과, 청소년의 치주건강상태를 성별, 연령별로 보면, 남자가 여자에 비해, 또한 연령이 많아질수록 치주건강상태가 나쁜 것으로 나타났다(P<.0001). 성별과 연령을 보정한 후 치주건강상태와 구강건강 인식 및 행태와의 관련성을 보면 주관적 구강건강인식이 좋지 않은 청소년이 좋은 청소년에 비해 불건 강한 치주조직군에 속할 가능성이 1.7배 높았고[Odds Ratio(OR)=1.74; p<0.001], 구강건강행태 변수 중 점심식사 후 잇솔질을 하지 않는 청소년은 잇솔질을 하는 청소년에 비해 불건강한 치주조직군에 속할 가능성이 1.6배 높았다(OR=0.1.59; P<0.001). 한편 구강건강행태 변수 중 1일 간식횟수는 치주조직의 건강상태와 통계적으로 유의하였으나, OR 값이 1보다 낮았다[1일 간식횟수가 4회 이상(OR=0.61; P<0.001), 2~3회(OR=0.58;P<0.001), 1회(OR=0.71;P<0.001)]. 끝으로 청소년의 구강건강 행태 변화를 통해 구강건강을 향상시킬 수 있음은 물론 청소년의 치주질환예방 및 관리프로그램 계획시 올바른 구강건강행태를 가지도록 하는 것의 중요성을 암시하고 있다.

This study investigated the relevancy between the subjective awareness and the level of knowledge of oral health by surveying oral health management behaviors of elderly citizens over 60 years old in certain areas. The survey was conducted from September 1 to December 30, 2016 among the elderly aged 60 or older in the GyeongBuk, and 442 responses were used in the data analysis. The statistical analysis methods were frequency analysis, t-test and ANOVA analysis. The subjective oral health awareness in accordance with oral health management behaviors were higher in the groups who brush their teeth better and for longer duration (p<.05), where the oral health knowledge level in accordance with oral health management behaviors were higher in the groups who received toothbrushing training (p<.05). Based on the above results, the subjective oral health awareness and the oral health knowledge level of elderly citizens should be improved through continuous educations for ideal oral health management behaviors in order to promote oral health of elderly citizens.

This study performed an investigation to determine the impact of the oral health status and oral health behavior of pregnant women on quality of life and analyzed the results. The data was tested using the Shapiro-Wilk normality test for the key measuring parameters by using PASW Statistics 18.0. There were significant differences in subjective oral health status and oral health interest had significant differences depending on the period of in pregnancy. 46.5% of surveyed subjects considered themselves as 'healthy', and 51.2% considered their oral health status was 'healthy' while 57.5 responded they were interested in the oral health. As for the quality of life according to the oral health behaviors, when the subjects did not have any experience of receiving oral health education, when the tooth brushings were ${\leq}3$ times, when they had not received examination on a regular basis, and when they had no experience of scaling, the quality of life was very low. Significant impact variables on the OHIP-14 include longer pregnancy term, no experience of childbirth, subjective health status and poorer subjective oral health status, and the low health-related quality of life. In this study, it was considered as necessary to develop improved oral health education programs because the oral health-related quality of life was closely associated with oral health and oral health behaviors perceived subjectively.
