본 연구는 '2020년 노인실태조사' 자료를 기초로 전·후기 노인의 인지 저하에 영향을 미치는 인구사회학적 특성 및 건강 상태 특성을 살펴보며, 건강관리 행태 및 돌봄 요구도의 실태를 파악하기 위해 실시하였다. 연구방법은 인지저하 조사도구에 직접 응답한 65세 이상 노인 9,885명을 연구대상으로 하였다. 분석은 기술통계, Chi-square, t-test, 로지스틱 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과 인지저하에는 연령, 교육수준, 소득, 거주지역, 건강수준, 우울증상이 영향을 주고 있었고, 인지저하 노인의 건강관리 행태 및 기능상태, 건강 및 사회만족도가 낮았으며, 집 거주를 위한 필요서비스가 높았다. 또한 인지저하 노인의 일상생활 수행 도움 요구도가 높았으나 충분히 충족되지 못해 향후 지역사회 내에서 돌봄을 안전하게 받을 수 있는 다양한 도움과 정책이 시행되어야 할 것이다.

Oral cavity cancer accounts for approximately 3-4% of all malignancies and is a significant worldwide health problem. The Korea Central Cancer Registry estimates that there will be approximately 1500 new cases of oral cancer in Korea. Oral cancer occurs most commonly in middle-aged and elderly individuals. The majority of oral malignancies occur as squamous cell carcinomas and despite remarkable advances in treatment modalities, the 5-year survival rate has not significantly improved over the past several decades, hovering at about 50% to 60%. The unfavorable 5-year survival rate may be attributable to several factors. First, oral cancer is often diagnosed at a late stage, with late stage 5-year survival rates as low as 22%. Additionally, the development of secondary primary tumors in patients with early stage disease has a major impact on survival. The early detection of oral cancer and premalignant lesions offers the promise to cure chance of oral cancer. The major diagnostics moddalities for oral cancer include oral cavity examination, supravital staining, oral cytology, and optical detection systems. But the clinical finding of oral mucosa is the most important key to confirm the oral cancer until now. The traditional clinical examination of oral cavity can be performed quickly, is without additional diagnostic expense to patients, and may be performed by health care professionals. Therefore, clinicians must be well-acquainted with clinical characteristics of oral cancer and practice routine screening for oral cancer in dental clinic to decrease the morbidity and mortality of disease.
