Methods: The subjects were 154 diabetic outpatient at 3 hospitals located in J city. Data were collected from February 1 to 17 in 2012. Data were analysed using Chi-square test, ANOVA, and logistic regression by SPSS/WIN 18.0. Results: Mean physical activity level per week measured by International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) was $2247.01{\pm}2533.73$ MET-minutes (minimally active). There were significant differences in the level of physical activity by age, spouse, education, job, admission, duration of DM, and DM therapy. There were significant differences in subjective health status, objective and subjective obesity, satisfaction with physical body, perception of aging, self-efficacy, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, and social support among the inactive, minimally active, and health enhancing physical activity groups. Factors influencing the level of health enhancing physical activity were spouse (OR=10.192), self-efficacy (OR=5.351), subjective obesity (OR=.114), and perceived barriers (OR=.069).

청소년기의 주관적 건강상태는 개인의 전반적인 사회·정서적 기능을 반영하는 것으로 이 시기 건강관련 삶의 질을 결정하는 중요한 요인이다. 본 연구는 청소년의 주관적 건강상태와 건강형평성의 관계를 파악하고자 하였다. 제16차 청소년건강행태온라인조사(2020) 자료를 이용하여 39,987명의 청소년을 분석하였다. 건강형평성은 거주 지역, 학생들이 인식하는 경제적 여건, 가구의 풍요도, 가족형태, 부모 교육수준 등을 지표로 사용하였다. 주관적 건강상태는 "평소 자신의 건강이 어떠하다고 생각하는가?" 라는 질문에 건강군("매우 건강하다", "건강하다")과 불 건강군("보통이다", "건강하지 않다", "매우 건강하지 않다")으로 분류하였다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS/Win 22.0을 이용하여 복합표본분석을 실시하였다. 대상자의 주관적 건강상태와 관련된 유의한 요인은 거주 지역(OR=0.865, p=.031), 경제 수준(OR=1.338-2.095, p<.001), 가족 형태(OR=1.245, p=.033)로 나타났다. 청소년이 지각한 경제수준은 청소년의 주관적 건강상태와 관련된 가장 중요한 요인이었으며, 다문화가정 청소년은 일반가정 청소년에 비해 자신의 건강상태를 건강하지 못하다고 인식하는 경우가 많았다. 따라서 경제수준이 낮은 청소년과 다문화가정 청소년에 대한 지속적인 관심과 건강상태를 향상시킬 수 있는 구체적인 전략이 요구된다.

본 연구는 우리나라 중년기와 노년기의 주관적 건강, 신체적 건강, 정신적 건강수준의 차이에 학력과 소득의 사회경제적 지위가 어떻게 매개하는지를 알아보기 위한 연구이다. 선행연구에서는 증가하는 노년인구와 더불어 심각하게 증가되는 의존 수명에 대한 다양한 논의가 이루어지고 있다. 그러나 정작 수년 내에 노년기에 접어들게 될 중년기의 건강수준이 노년기와는 각 건강수준에서 어떻게 차이가 나며, 사회경제적 지위에 따른 건강수준이 어떠한가에 대한 연구는 매우 제한적이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 전 국민을 대상으로 한 자료를 토대로 중년기와 노년기의 계층별, 연령별 건강수준을 분석하고자 한다. 분석자료는 한국노동연구원에서 실시한 1차 한국고령화패널(KLOSA)을 활용하였고, 주관적 건강, 신체적 건강, 정신적 건강수준에 소득과 학력이 매개변수로서 작용하는지를 검증하기 위해 경로분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과 중년기에서 노년기로 접어들수록 주관적 건강수준은 낮아지고, 만성질환 유병은 높고, 정신건강수준은 매우 낮아지는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 중년기와 노년기 모두 학력과 소득이 높을수록 건강수준이 높고, 중년기와 노년기의 모든 건강수준에 학력과 소득이 매개효과를 갖는 것으로 나타났다.

Methods : This research conducted individual interview for 177 seniors using senior citizen center by using structured questionnaires. SAS(Ver.9.2) Program was used for the collected data to perform frequency analysis, reliability and scale analysis, t-test, ANOVA, correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis. Results : The oral health-related quality of life level related to oral health according to the demographical characteristics showed that it was better in case that they are younger, married, more educated and have more living expenses. Except for age, oral health-related quality of life was connected to scholastic achievement, living expenses, subjective health condition and subjective oral health condition. The factors influencing the oral health condition were subjective health condition, marriage, scholastic achievement, living expenses, age and sex. As the subjective health condition is better, in case of cohabitation of only a couple and as the age or scholastic achievement is higher and the living expenses are more, the oral health condition was better. The factors influencing oral health-related quality of life were subjective oral health condition, marriage, sex, subjective health condition, scholastic achievement and living expenses. As the subjective oral health condition and health condition were better and in case of sole living and cohabitation of only a couple, male's oral health-related quality of life was higher. Conclusions : It is considered that because the geriatric oral health condition becomes an important factor to oral health-related quality of life, the development of the geriatric oral health business and the geriatric heal education program to maintain and improve oral health is required and the activation of the oral health insurance policy for preventive dental service is necessary.

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.
