  • 최근 만성콩팥병 환자의 생존율이 증가하였고, 환자들도 정상적인 삶을 살고자 하는 요구가 증가되면서 삶의 질에 대한 관심이 고조되고 있다. 그러나 만성콩팥병 환자의 투병생활은 질병자체의 고통 뿐 아니라 지속적인 검사, 치료 그리고 잦은 입 퇴원으로 경제적인 부담감, 완치가 아닌 기계에 의존한 생명 연장의 수단이기 때문에 죽음에 대한 불안과 위협, 가정 내역할과 책임의 변화로 가족갈등의 심화, 신체상의 변화로 원활한 대인관계 어려움, 사회적 고립 및 삶에 대한 의미상실 등을 초래할 수 있다. 이렇듯 만성콩팥병 환자는 여러 어려움을 직면하게 되는데 이를 구체적으로 살펴보고자 한다.

  • The purpose of this study was to compare acute and chronic LBP patient in twenties and forties, respectively by size measure paraspinal muscle (cross-sectional area; CSA). CSA of paraspinal muscle (psoas, multifidus, erector muscle) size was measured by free-handling technique of the picture archiving and communication system(PACS) using MRI at the level(lower end-plate of L4) in twenties(9 males, 10 females) and forties(9 males, 8 females) in acute and chronic LBP patient. The results of this study showed no significantly difference between acute and chronic LBP (p>0.05) in twenties patients. However, there was significant difference between acute and chronic LBP (p<0.05) in forties patients. Also, there was significant difference in paraspinal muscle CSA between chronic LBP patients in twenties and chronic LBP patients in forties (p<0.05). This study showed that paraspinal muscle atrophy was observed in forties with various cause, but Not chronic LBP patients in twenties. Accordingly it is required for chronic LBP patients in forties to minimize trunk muscle atrophy through immediate back muscle dynamic exercise and early functional activity.

A Study on the Prevalence and Risk of Family History for Chronic Diseases: Findings from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2019 (만성질환에 대한 가족력의 유병률과 위험도에 관한 연구: 국민건강영양조사(2019)를 중심으로)

  • This study was conducted to empirically analyze the prevalence and risk of chronic diseases in the family history of chronic diseases using data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2019. Based on 5,691 people, after controlling for socio-demographic variables that were related to family history of chronic diseases, logistic regression analysis was performed to verify the odds ratio, which was the risk of family history of chronic diseases for the prevalence of chronic diseases. The main results were founded that Odds ratio, which was the risk of chronic diseases in groups with a family history compared to those without a family history, was statistically significant at hypertension(2.623), dyslipidemia(1.868), diabetes(1.964), and arthritis(1.435) when gender, age, income status, education level and residence were controlled. These results suggest that it is not only necessary to develop a standardization tool for family history tests, but also a health and disease management system for members with a family history in terms of preventive medicine in health care. This study is significant in that it proposed a practical plan in terms of health care by controlling variables that affect the prevalence of chronic diseases and empirically identifying the risk of family history of chronic diseases.
