본 연구는 2016년 지역사회건강조사 원시자료를 이용하여 만 25~54세 연령의 104,811명의 경제활동 인구를 대상으로 구강검진수검 여부와 관련된 요인들의 영향 정도를 확인하고자 하였다. Multiple logistic regression analysis를 시행하여 구강검진 수검률에 영향을 미치는 일반적 특성, 사회경제적 지리적 특성, 구강건강관리행태 요인을 파악하였다. 연령 및 교육수준이 높을수록, 치석제거를 경험한 경우, 주관적 구강건강수준이 매우 좋은 경우, 필요치과진료 수진자에서 구강검진 수검률이 높게 나타났다. 소득분위가 높을수록 구강검진 수검률이 낮게 확인되었다. 경제활동 인구의 연령, 결혼여부, 교육수준, 지역, 소득수준, 직업, 치석제거 경험 여부, 필요치과진료 미수진 여부 등이 구강검진 수검 여부에 있어 유의한 영향이 있음이 나타났다. 구강검진에 대한 접근성 향상을 위한 효율적인 구강검진사업에 실증적 근거를 마련하고자 한다.

Background: Owing to the increase in the aging population, the health problems of the elderly have become important social problems. Social support has a positive effect on improving the quality of life and prolonging the life of elderly people. It is one of the major factors that affects the oral health status of elderly people. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between oral health status and social support in elderly people using representative data. Methods: In this study, data from a community health survey in 2015 involving 63,929 elderly people aged over 65 years were analyzed. T-test and ANOVA analyses were performed to compare the general characteristics of and perception about social support. Additionally, a linear regression analysis was performed to confirm the relationship between perceptions about social support and subjective oral health status. Results: We found that sex, age, household income, education level, the presence of a spouse, existence of an unmet dental need, and regular oral check-up had a significant effect on subjective oral health status (p<0.05). In addition, when controlled for all factors, social support has a significant impact on subjective oral health status. Conclusion: The findings indicate that social support is associated with the subjective oral health status of Korean elderly. This suggests that community-level or government investment is required to improve the oral health of the elderly. In particular, policy interventions such as the establishment of facilities that promote social networks, especially facilities based on friendship networks, are needed.

본 연구는 대학생들을 대상으로 인터넷 중독과 구강보건행태와의 상관관계를 연구의 목적으로 실시하였다. 분석결과, 인터넷 중독은 성별과 흡연 유 무 변수에서, 구강보건행태는 학년별과 흡연 유 무 변수에서, 인터넷 중독 차이는 성별과 흡연 유 무 변수에서 통계적으로 유의미한 차이가 있었다. 그리고 공통적으로, 비보건계열 1학년, 흡연자와 음주자이며 집에서 거주하는 남학생에서 높게 조사되었다. 구강보건행태는 "수면 시 편측으로 누워 자기"가 가장 높은 것으로 조사되었으며, 이는 잠자기 전까지 인터넷 사용이 빈번하게 발생하며, 그에 따른 부정적인 구강보건행태를 보여주는 결과이다. 대학생들의 인터넷 중독과 구강보건행태와의 상관성은 통계적으로 유의미한 차이가 있었고, 대학생들의 인터넷 중독은 구강보건행태로도 나타남을 연구결과로 검증할 수 있었다. 이상의 연구 결과로 대학생들의 학업에 미치는 영향을 고려한 적절한 인터넷 사용을 위한 교육과 지도가 필요하며, 그에 따른 인터넷 사용 규제와 대학생 스스로의 구강보건행태의 문제성을 인지할 수 있는 구강보건교육프로그램 개발이 요구된다.

Objectives: The Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) is a national surveillance system that has been assessing the health and nutritional status of Koreans since 1998. Based on the National Health Promotion Act, the surveys have been conducted by the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC). Methods: An oral examination as part of The National Health and Nutrition Examination was proposed to calculate the sample design and survey participation. The surveying system was presented by classifying the measurement environment, screening, and survey items by year, and the merits and limitations of using the data were suggested by examining the status of survey quality management and the process of disclosing raw data. Results: This nationally representative cross-sectional survey samples approximately 10,000 individuals each year and collects information on oral examinations and oral health interviews. Data for the oral health component of KNHANES was obtained to assess the oral health status of Koreans and determine the prevalence of dental caries and periodontitis. The oral health data quality control of KNHANES was composed of three parts: "Education Program" and "Field Training Program" for quality control of oral health examiners (dentists) by the professional academy, and "Data management" by the KCDC. After completion of the three-step data check, the indicators of dental caries, periodontal disease, and oral health behavior were published in the National Health Statistics. Conclusions: To achieve the goals of oral health indicators, we will continue to monitor so that we can use it as basic data for oral policies and carry out various linkage analyses related to oral diseases.

Objectives: The purposes of this study were to comprehend the subjective dental health status and the level of dental health knowledge in some middle school students and to analyze the correlation with dental health behaviors. Methods: A survey was conducted in some middle school students and the final 637 survey data were analysed. As the statistical analysis methods, the subjective dental health status, dental health knowledge and dental health behaviors according to the general characteristics were analyzed by independent t-test, one way ANOVA and Scheffe. The correlations among the subjective dental health status, dental health knowledge and dental health behavior were found by Pearson's correlation and multiple regression analysis. Results: Through correlation analysis of the subjective dental health status, dental health knowledge and dental health behavior, all showed a significant correlation. As a result of the factor analysis affecting dental behaviors, subjective dental health status was the highest (${\beta}=0.304$, p<0.001). Conclusions: The results of this study suggest that the improvement of subjective dental health status and dental health knowledge related to dental behaviors health in the middle school students should be considered. In addition, dental health education should focus on improving subjective dental health status through motivation rather than knowledge transfer training. Moreover, development programs appropriate for the middle school students whose behavioral changes are hard to obtain are needed.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess an association between nutrient intake and prevalence risk of deciduous dental caries among preschool children. Methods: A total of 922 children aged 3 to 5 years was selected from the database of Fourth Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey(KNHAINS). Data were included socio-demographic characteristics, oral health related behaviour, nutrient intake(carbohydrate, protein, fat, calcium, phosphate, iron, sodium and potassium), and oral health status(dft index). To assess the crude and adjusted associations, logistic regression analysis were applied considering a complex sampling design. Results: Children who were more consumed protein, calcium, phosphate, iron and sodium had slightly lower prevalence risk of deciduous dental caries after adjusting for socio-demographic characteristics and oral health related behaviour. Moreover, prevalence risk of the highest intake of phosphate and sodium(3rd tertiles) was significant lower than that of the lowest intake(1st tertiles). Conclusion: The nutrient intake was slightly associated with the prevalence risk of deciduous dental caries.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of mothers education attainment on prevalence of dental caries among their preschool children. Methods: Data were obtained from the third 2006 Korea National Oral Health Survey. A total of 515 preschool children aged 2 to 7 years and their mothers were selected in this study. We used mother's education level as her socioeconomic position and controlled children's tooth brushing frequency, tooth brushing before bed, the frequency of eating snack, and the preventive dental visit. Whether children experienced dental caries or not and the number of decayed or filled or missing tooth surface they had were used as outcome variables. Results: The proportion of children affected with dental caries was 46.21%. The mother's education level affected children's caries significantly (p<0.05) and children whose mother attended less than high school had more possibility of having caries than children whose mother graduated from college or more (p<0.05). This effect was still significant and got larger(p<0.05), even after controlling children's dental health behavior. Conclusion: This study showed that mother's education level affected the prevalence of caries among their preschool children. In addition, this result indicated a need for more definite policy for children's dental health in lower socioeconomic class with general dental education.
