Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the factors influencing health related to quality of life with hypertension patients. Methods: The subjects of this study were 409 hypertensive patients. Data were collected from March 1st to April 30th, 2008. A questionnaire consisting of exercise barrier, Psychosocial Wellbeing Index (PWI), EuroQol 5D (EQ-5D) was given. The collected data were analyzed with the SPSS program which was used for descriptive statistics, univariate and multivariate analysis. Results: There was a significant relationship between exercise barrier (t=3.57, p=.000), psychosocial wellbeing (F=29.96, p=.000) and health related to quality of life. According to the result of multiple regression, the identified significant factors were an exercise barrier (F=7.09, p=.000) and psychosocial wellbeing (F=21.5, p=.000) with health related to quality of life. Conclusion: Hypertension patients experienced exercise barrier and psychosocial distress which led to a negative effect on health related to quality of life. Therefore it is needed to encourage motivation of lasting of exercise compliance and relieving of psychosocial distress for better health promotion and high quality of life.

본 연구는 제3기 국민건강영양조사 자료를 이용하여 우리나라 65세 이상 노인의 관절염과 동반 만성질환에 따른 건강관련 삶의 질(이하 HRQoL) 감소 양상을 파악하고자 하였다. 연구대상자는 7개 단일질환군(관절염, 추간판탈출증, 골다공증, 천식, 위십이지장궤양, 뇌졸중, 백내장) 1,357명, 관절염에 더하여 상기 만성질환중 하나를 추가 보유한 복합만성질환군 886명, 무질환군 465명 등 총 2,708명이었다. HRQoL 지표인 EQ-5D index를 집단 간에 비교하기 위해 공분산 분석을 실시하였고 관절염과 동반 만성질환의 교호작용을 관찰하기 위해 다중 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 남녀로 나누어 분석한 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 남성에서 연령보정 EQ-5D index 평균치가 관절염군과 유의한 차이를 보인 질환군은 단일질환군 중에는 뇌졸중군이 유일하였으며, 복합만성질환군 중에는 뇌졸중을 동반한 관절염군과 백내장 동반 관절염군이었다. 여성에서 연령보정 EQ-5D index 평균치가 관절염군과 유의한 차이를 보인 질환군은 단일질환군 중에는 천식, 뇌졸중, 백내장 등이었으며, 복합 만성질환군 중에는 골다공증 동반 관절염군, 위십이지장궤양 동반 관절염군, 뇌졸중 동반 관절염군, 백내장 동반 관절염군 등이었다. 다중 회귀분석을 실시한 결과 남성에서는 교호작용이 관찰되지 않았고, 여성에서는 관절염환자가 뇌졸중을 동반한 경우만 교호작용이 관찰되었는데 감산관계 양상을 보였다. 관절염환자에서 건강관련 삶의 질을 평가하는 경우에는 동반 만성질환의 이러한 효과를 고려하여할 것이다.

Stomach cancer shows the highest incidence among cancer patients in Korea and it deteriorates the patients' health-related quality of life considerably. This study measured utility weights of severe stomach cancer symptoms using VAS (Visual Analogue Scale), TTO (Time-trade Off) and EQ-5D (EuroQol-5 Dimension) methods. A survey questionnaire was developed to describe the symptoms of severe stomach cancer comprehensively and concisely using VAS, TTO and EQ-5D. A face-to-face interview was conducted for 21 cancer inpatients in a hospital and 25 non-patients. The mean utility weight is 0.498 for VAS, 0.375 for EQ-5D and 0.300 for TTO. Using VAS or TTO methods, there were no statistically significant differences between patients and non-patients while there was significant difference in EQ-5D. The utility weight with VAS and EQ-5D has shown similar trend - higher score in patient group, male and aged while it has opposite trend with TTO.

In order to supply the reference data to define the quality of life of the rural agricultural elderly population in the simplified steps, the data were collected by personal visits to 232 elder people over 65 (89 males and 143 females) in Sunchang area. The survey was conducted with written questionnaires concerning the quality of life, health-related habits, basic physical functions and cognitive behavior. The prevalence of the degenerative diseases were assessed by anthropometric and biochemical determinations. The averaged overall quality of life represented by EQ-5D index with Nam's model was calculated to be $0.865{\pm}0.1509$, and the percentages of people below the average were 38% (low QOL group) and 62% (high QOL group) were found to be the above the average. Generally, the subjects with male gender, higher educational background, higher self-rated health status, higher social activities were belonged to the high QOL group. The high QOL group had higher scores of daily living activities KADL and IADL, and lower risks in cognitive functions K-MMSE and depression scale GDS. There was no statistically significant correlation between biochemical indexes of blood and cognitive function and EQ-5D scores when the results were adjusted for age and gender. There were significant differences in nutritional assessment determined by the MNA between the high and low QOL groups. The low QOL group showed inferior nutritional status. The rapidly measurable factors of the quality of life of rural elderly were turned out to be physical activity scores and the simplified nutritional status measurement.

Purpose: This study aimed to obtain basic data on oral health improvement by investigating the EQ-5D index according to the oral prosthesis status of elderly persons aged 65 years or older in Korea using the Seventh Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Methods: In this study, 3,426 elderly persons aged 65 years or older were included to analyze the relationship between the dental prostheses status and EQ-5D index in the collected data. Results: Compared to the "complete denture" in oral prosthesis, EQ in case of no dental prostheses or fixed dental prostheses is comparable to removable prosthetics such as "no dental prostheses," "one fixed bridge," and "two or more fixed bridges." Removable partial denture and complete denture required for the maxillary and mandibular EQ-5D index were significantly higher in "not necessary" than in "complete denture necessary" in all the elderly persons. Conclusion: The condition of the dental prosthesis and the need for a removable partial denture and complete denture for the elderly's EQ-5D index were confirmed, and it was found that the fixed dental prostheses were more effective than the removable dental prostheses. Therefore, oral health education programs for the elderly should be developed to promote dental function and oral health maintenance.

Objective : The purpose of this clinical research was to analyze the correlation between disease severity and disease specific quality of life adjusted by general quality of life measure in adult patients with atopic dermatitis attending Wonkwang Univ. Sanbon Oriental Medical Center. Methods : A total of 35 patients participated in atopic dermatitis clinical trial from June 1st, 2010 to June 30th, 2011 were included in this study. SCORing Atopic Dermatitis(SCORAD) index, Dermatologic Life Quality Index(DLQI), Health Utility Index III(HUI-III) and EuroQoL 5-Dimension(EQ-5D) have been estimatied. Baseline statistical analysis and normality test were done by using Student t-test, Shapiro-Wilk test and ladder test. Pearson analysis and Spearman analysis were conducted to examined the correlation of each variables. Hierachial regression analysis was performed using related variables. Statistical significance was achieved if the probability was less than 5%. Results : There were statistically significance between DLQI and SCORAD index, and also between DLQI and EQ-5D. However there was no significant between DLQI and HUI-III. In the hierachial regression analysis, after adjusting for demographic variables (gender, age) and general quality of life (EQ-5D), SCORAD index significantly predict the intensity of disease specific quality of life (DLQI). Conclusions : We confirmed the correlation between SCORAD index and DLQI, and developed the inference for regression equation of DLQI using SCORAD index, EQ-5D and demographic variables.
