Objectives : The purpose of this study on the oral health behavior of foreign workers and dental care in the community is to identify actual oral health conditions of immigrated labors, to promote their oral health and to gather basic data providing them with proper oral health services Methods : Based on previous studies, The researchers wrote their own surveys in English, in Vietnamnese, in Tagalogue, in Thai. Making questions on the paper to 114 foreign workers in Pocheon, Gyeonggi-do were surveyed. Using the program SPSS 17.0 for Windows, the collected data were analyzed. The frequency analysis, the chi-square analysis and the correlation analysis was performed to recognize their relevance between the oral health status and the actual oral care and the subjective perception of oral health. Results : General characteristics of the foreign workers is the overwhelming majority of male demographic 78.9%. By age, 20-29 years of age accounted for 50%, and duration of stay in the city is less than 3-5 years to 68.4%, It was most common. The percentage going to the dentist when teeth hurt is although 56 percent. But the ratio to endure the pain without going to the dentist, was 44%. The main reason to not go to the dentist was the time 55.2% and cost 11.9%. A mere 9.6% of respondents knew about the free dental care and used. 67.5% of them was not aware of the free dental care agency, 59.6% were keen to use the free care. However, 40.4% did not want a free dental care because they did not have the time(26.3%), the distance is far away(3.5%), and difficulties in communication(3.5%) and the other(66.7%).

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the relationship between socioeconomic characteristics and prevalence of periodontal disease in a representative sample of Korean adults older than age 20. Methods: Data of 3,837 adults were collected by the six Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, which was conducted in 2015. Socioeconomic, demographic, and oral health-related behavior data were collected as independent variables. We determined frequencies, percentage, and determining statistical significance using multiple regression analysis. Results: Prevalence of periodontal diseases showed statistically significant difference in accordance with sex, age, socioeconomic and demographical characteristics and oral health-related behavior. It was confirmed that the prevalence of periodontal diseases was increased in the lower educational level and income (OR, 1.478 and 1.520) after adjusting for conditions such as age, sex, recent dental check-ups, visiting dental clinic, tooth brushing frequency, use of self-care devices. Conclusions: The prevalence of periodontal disease was related with socioeconomic factors in Korean adults. Therefore, differentiated oral health service policies and dental health education among adults with lower education and income is required in order to reduce the prevalence of periodontal disease.

The purpose of this study was to identify chronic diseases and oral health care behaviors in 65-year-old individuals and to determine the factors that influence masticatory mobility. The raw data from the 8th National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey in 2020 were utilized to analyze factors associated with chewing discomfort in 1,278 elderly Koreans. Using IBM SPSS Statistics 27.0, we conducted complex sample cross-analysis to examine the difference in chewing discomfort based on general characteristics, chronic diseases, and oral health care behaviors. Additionally, we performed complex sample multiple logistic regression analysis to identify the factors associated with chewing discomfort. As a factor influencing chewing discomfort, unmet dental care was 3.33 times higher (p<0.001), and subjective oral health was 0.18 times more likely to be moderate (p<0.001) and 0.48 times more likely to be good (p<0.001) lower. In the case of arthritis, the level of chewing discomfort was high (OR=1.08, p=0.694), but there was no significant difference. As a result of the aforementioned factors, it is believed that there is a need for policies and systems to provide dental care to the elderly before their oral health deteriorates. Additionally, tailored oral health promotion programs should be implemented.

본 연구는 초등학교 고학년생의 학교구강보건예방사업에 관한 구강보건지식에 영향을 미치는 요인으로 보호자와 학생의 구강보건행태와 학교구강보건실 운영과의 관련성을 검토하고자 시도하였다. 연구대상은 학교구강보건실을 운영하는 전라남도 무안군 소재의 1개 초등학교와 학교구강보건실을 비운영하는 목포시 소재의 1개 초등학교 고학년 학생 178명과 동일 학생의 보호자 178명을 대상으로 연구하였고, 자료수집 기간은 2014년 5월 2일부터 5월 26일까지 구조화된 무기명 자기기입식 설문조사를 실시하였다. 연구결과, 학교구강보건실의 비운영은 학생의 학교구강보건실 구강보건예방사업에 관한 지식과 음의 관계를 가졌지만 통계적으로 유의하지는 않았고, 학생의 학교구강보건예방사업에 관한 구강보건지식에 영향을 미치는 요인으로 보호자의 구강보건교육경험이 있을수록, 학생의 구강보건교육에 대한 참여의사가 높을수록, 주관적인 구강건강수준이 건강할수록 지식이 높아지는 것으로 나타났으며, 이는 32.6%의 설명력을 보였다. 이와 같은 결과는 학생의 구강보건지식에 관한 영향 요인으로 학생의 구강보건행위, 보호자의 구강보건행위가 관련되어 있고, 학교구강보건실 운영이 학생과 보호자의 구강건강관리를 위한 구강보건지식에 긍정적인 영향을 미침을 시사한다.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between demographic characteristics, health factors, oral health factors and subjective body shape perception of adolescents in order to provide basic data for adolescents health management. Methods: This study was analyzed using Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-Based Survey in 2015, where 68,043 adolescents in total participated. Data were analyzed by SPSS Ver. 21.0. Multiple regression analysis was used to analyze the relationships among health factors and oral health factors related to subjective body shape perception. Results: The analysis of the factors influencing the body shape perception of male adolescents showed that they tend to be low in school performance, low in family economic level, and high school students. The worse they perceive their subjective health to be, the more they feel stress, and the less frequently they brush their teeth per day. They had bad breath. The analysis of the factors influencing the body shape perception of female adolescents showed that they tend to be low in school performance, low in family economic level, and high school students. The worse they feel their subjective health is, the more they feel unhappy, and stressful, and the less frequently they brush their teeth per day. They feel pain during chewing, and have bad breath. Conclusions: In conclusion, it is necessary to consider educational intervention in adolescent life that will make them have proper perception of their body shape for proper health management of it. To make the intervention effective, we need to consider various factors such as health factors and oral health factors.

본 연구는 치아우식증에 관련된 사회인구학적 요인, 구강증상 및 구강건강행위 등 다양한 요인의 효과를 탐구하고자 국민건강보험공단에서 시행한 건강검진자료와 자격자료를 이용하여 다중로지스틱회귀분석법으로 분석하였다. 여타 관련 요인들을 보정한 상태에서 소득요인과 치아우식증간의 관련성이 가장 컸고(OR=1.97), 직업(OR=1.05) 및 거주지역(OR=1.11)의 효과도 유의하였으며, 연령(OR=0.77), 성(OR=0.88), 인지된 구강증상(OR=1.84) 과 치아우식증간의 관련성도 유의하였다. 지난 1년 이내 치과방문(OR=0.75), 평균 이상의 잇솔질 횟수(OR=0.91), 상하 잇솔질 방법(OR=0.91) 등은 치아우식증 적음과, 단 음식 선호(OR=1.03), 취침 전 잇솔질 여부(OR=1.02) 등은 치아우식증의 많음과 유의한 관련이 있었다. 결론적으로, 본 연구는 단면연구로서 치아우식증과 다양한 관련 요인간의 연관관계를 규명하였다.

본 연구는 유연성 운동이 삶의 질과 구강상태 및 구강건강관련 행위에 미치는 융합적인 관련성을 확인하기 위한 기초자료로 제공하고자 한다. 2012년 국민건강영양조사 자료를 사용하여 유연성 운동이 건강관련 삶의 질과 구강상태 및 구강건강관련 행위에 미치는 영향을 확인하기위해 선형회귀분석과 로지스틱 회귀분석을 시행하였다. 그 결과 인구 사회학적 특성을 통제하고, 유연성 운동을 하지 않는 사람은 삶의 질 하위항목 중 운동능력이 .027배 나빠졌고, 영구치 우식치아 수는 .152배 높았다. 유연성 운동을 하는 사람은 턱관절 장애 증상 중 통증 증상이 1.633배 높았다(p<.05). 따라서 유연성 운동이 전신건강 뿐만 아니라 구강건강과의 관련성을 제안했다는 점에서 그 가치가 있다고 생각된다.
