There are two purposes in this study. The first one is to collect some oral health information through the investigations upon the oral health care of Korean adults. Referring to the result of the investigation. I wanted to furnish fundamental data with oral health education for each age and with a publicity booklet editing. That is the second purpose of this research. Among the people who visited Seo-gu Public Health Center in Kwang-ju, 207 people answered the questionnaires. There were 86 men and 121 women from the 20-aged to the 59- aged. The questionnaires covers knowledge aquisition path for dental caries prevention, the cognition degrees for the causes of dental caries and its prevention, the cognition degrees for the causes of periodontal disease and its prevention, the degrees for oral health methods, and the importance of oral health. The conclusions are as follows; 1. The cognition degree for dental caries prevention: The cognition for pit and fissure sealant was appeared most highly in thirties by 85.3%. but 62.1 % in fifties was answered, "Never heard". The cognition degree for fluoride application was appeared most highly in thirties by 73.5%. and the cognition degree for water fluoridation was most highly in forties by 54.2%. 2. The knowledge for pit and fissure sealant was acquired mostly through dental hospital in every age by 54.2%. 3. The knowledge for fluoride application was learned mostly through dental hospitals in twenties and thirties by 32.7%. and mostly through TV or radio health programs in forties and fiftieseach by 35.7% and 50.0%. 4. The knowledge for water fluoridation was acquired through TV or radio programs in all ages such as twenties. thirties. forties and fifties. Its rate was 57.8%. 5. The cognition degree of the cause of dental caries: 53.1 % of all ages think that dental caries can most frequently be caused by being lack of toothbrushing. 6. The cognition degree of the cause of periodontal disease: 58.5% people of all ages think that both dental plaque and calculus might be the main cause of periodontal disease. 7. The cognition degree of dental caries prevention: 72.8% people think that dental caries can be prevented by right tooth brushing method. and 8.7% people think that they can be prevented by scaling. However, 10.7% people of them were not interested in dental caries prevention. 8. The importance of oral health: 35.3% people think that teeth health is the most important, and 63.8% people think oral health is one of the most important health problems. Forties answered that tooth health was the most important thing, and fifties. thirties and twenties followed in the order. 9.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of general and oral health status on dementia. Methods: Questionnaires were used for the KDSQ-C (Korean Dementia Screening Questionnaires-Cognition) and to investigate the oral health status of the participants. An independent t-test was conducted to analyze the differences between general health and oral health status depending on the normal and suspected dementia groups. Logistic regression analysis was performed to assess the effects of general and oral health status on dementia. Results: Regarding the health status of the subjects assessed by the KDSQ-C, the higher the current health status and the higher the exercise status, the lower was the dementia level (p<0.05). During the assessment of oral health conditions in KDSQ-C subjects, dementia was more suspected in subjects with dental decay and periodontal disease than in those without dental decay (p<0.05). Conclusions: Dementia has been confirmed to be closely related to general and oral health conditions. Therefore, oral health-related programs are essential for dementia prevention programs. Since dental hygienists are best suited for providing oral care to older adults with dementia, it is considered essential to reflect their occupation in future national policies.

본 연구는 단면조사로 노인의 구강건강과 치매의 관계를 알아보고자 편의추출된 65세 이상 노인 197명을 대상으로 주관적 건강, 주관적 구강건강 및 관리, 핵심음식 저작능력, OHIP-14, KDSQ를 설문조사하고 구강검사를 실시하여 의치장착여부, 총 잔존치아수, 임플란트와 고정식보철물을 포함한 총 기능치아수를 조사하였다. 그 결과, KDSQ-C가 6점 이상인 치매검사 요구군에서 전신질환 유병률이 높았고, 주관적 건강상태에 부정적 응답 비율이 높았으며, 건강에 대한 염려가 많았고, KDSQ-V와 KDSQ-D도 유의하게 높았다. 정상군과 치매검사 요구군 간의 틀니장착자율, 총 잔존치아수, 총 기능치아수, 1일 칫솔질 횟수, 치아 통증 정도, 치주질환에 대한 주관적 증상정도, 주관적 구강건강상태, 주관적 구강건강염려의 차이는 없었다. 그러나, 치매검사 요구군이 주관적 치과치료 필요도가 높고 구강건강관련 삶의 질 제한정도가 높고 핵심음식 저작능력은 낮았으며 특히 딱딱한 음식군을 저작하기 어렵하고 하였다. KDSQ-C는 OHIP-14와 강한 양의 상관관계를 가지고 핵심음식 저작능력, 총 잔존치아수와는 약한 음의 관계를 가지고 있었다. 다중회귀분석에서는 KDSQ-D, KDSQ-V, OHIP-14 순으로 KDSQ-C에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서, 인지능력에 구강건강이 전신건강에 비해 미치는 영향력이 크지는 않지만 구강건강 또한 인지능력과 일부 관계할 수 있으며 인과관계를 분석하기 위해서는 더 정교한 역학연구가 필요할 것으로 제안한다.
