본 연구는 임신부의 구강건강상태와 구강건강행태에 따른 구강건강관련 삶의 질에 미치는 영향을 파악하여 조사해 그 결과를 분석하였다. 본 연구는 2014년6월23일~7월30일까지 전라북도 일부지역 임신부 127명을 대상으로 자기기입식 설문조사를 실시하였다. 자료는 PASW Statistics 18.0을 사용하여 주요 측정변수에 대한 Shapiro-Wilk 정규성을 검정하였다. 대상자의 주관적 구강건강상태, 구강건강관심도는 임신기간에 따라 유의한 차이가 있었다. 조사대상자의 46.5%가 자신이 '건강하다'고 느끼고 있으며 51.2%가 자신의 구강건강상태가 '건강하다'고 응답했고, 57.5%가 자신의 구강건강에 관심이 '있다'고 응답했다. 구강건강행태에 따른 삶의 질은 구강보건교육경험이 없는 경우, 칫솔질 횟수가 3회 이하인 경우, 정기적으로 검진을 받지 않은 경우, 치석제거 경험이 없는 경우 삶의 질이 낮게 나타났다. OHIP-14에 유의한 영향변수는 임신 기간이 길수록, 분만경험이 없고, 주관적 건강상태, 주관적 구강건강상태가 건강하지 않을수록 구강건강관련 삶의 질이 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구를 통해 임신부의 구강건강관련 삶의 질은 주관적으로 인지하는 구강건강 상태와 구강건강행태가 밀접한 연관이 있으므로 이를 개선하기 위한 구강보건교육 프로그램 개발이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

Objectives: In this study, both subjective and objective levels of oral health were used to identify the relationship between oral health inequalities. Methods: Korean National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey data from 2013 to 2015 were combined to create an analysis plan. Oral health questions categorized as subjective oral health conditions and oral health-related diseases used dental tissue disease status as data measured by the Community Periodical Index(CPI) and decayed, missing, filled teeth(DMFT) experience. Other data on oral health behaviors such as toothache experience, the frequency of toothbrush use, chewing problems, oral examination status, and unmet dental care needs were classified and analyzed according to the socioeconomic level. Data were analyzed using frequency and cross analyses, and the statistical significance level was set at 0.05. Results: It was found that higher the economic and educational level, better was the subjective oral health, lower the CPI, lower the experience of toothache, higher the frequency of toothbrush use, lower the number of people having chewing problems, and higher the frequency of oral checkups. Conclusions: Oral health inequality exists among social classes. It is suggested that continuous research and efforts be carried out to promote oral health while considering socioeconomic and educational levels. Further, active government efforts will be needed to address polarization by social class.

Objectives: The objective of the study was to review the correlation between self-perceived oral health status and periodontal diseases in elderly Koreans, using data from the $6^{th}$ (2nd year) Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2014). Methods: The subjects for this study were a total of 1,454 elderly people aged 65 years or older who responded to the health questionnaires of the $6^{th}$ (2nd year) Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey conducted in 2014. Their general characteristics were analyzed using frequency analysis, while a cross-tabulation analysis (${\chi}^2-test$) was performed to understand the correlation with periodontal diseases. To clarify any effect of self-perceived oral health status on periodontal diseases, the selected variables were controlled and subsequently analyzed according to the logistic regression analysis. Results: In terms of the difference between elderly people with periodontal disease and those without periodontal disease, higher prevalence rates of periodontal diseases were found in women, those of younger age, those with lower educational and income levels, those with poorer subjective oral health status, those in the presence of chewing discomfort, those who had a toothbrushing frequency of twice per day, and/or those who had received no oral examination over the previous one year. Regarding the effect of self-perceived oral health status on periodontal diseases, 1.78-fold and 1.74-fold higher prevalence rates of periodontal diseases were shown with poorer subjective oral health status and in the presence of chewing discomfort, respectively. Conclusions: Based upon the results above, it is considered that a better understanding of self-perceived oral health status is necessary for a healthy life of the elderly. Furthermore, constant relevant studies and effective prevention programs intended to moderate the progress of or prevent periodontal diseases in the elderly in communities should be performed and implemented for the sake of better quality of life and oral health.

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship of oral state and health condition among elderly people. The subjects in this study were 220 senior citizens who were randomly selected from among dwellers in Eunpyeong-gu and Jongno-gu, Seoul. A survey was conducted by one-on-one interview to find out their oral state and health condition. The collected data were analyzed with SPSS 10.0 program, and variance analysis, correlation analysis and regression procedure were employed. The findings of this study were as follows: First, Regarding subjective oral health state, 52.3 percent of the elderly people, more than the half, considered their mouth to be in good health. The number of their mean remaining permanent teeth was 14.85, which was one of the indexes to indicate their objective oral state. Second, Concerning their abnormal oral health experience, 75 percent didn't feel that their masticatory force was good enough, and 55.9 percent felt pain in their teeth, 70.0 percent suffered from mouth dryness. Those fact showed that a lot of the elderly people felt there was something wrong with their oral cavity, and the unhealthy oral state made it difficult for them to eat food, as their masticatory force weakened and they couldn't get a good taste for food. Third, Those who viewed their oral cavity as healthy thought that they were in good shape, and there was a significant correlational relationship between their subjective oral and overall physical health states. Their own perception of oral state made a difference to their subjective health status, and the subjective oral health was significantly related to ADL as well, which implied that their ADL was different according to the way they looked at their own oral health status.

Purpose: This study utilizes big data from the 8th (2021) National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey to determine first, the relationship between chewing discomfort in the elderly and some systemic diseases and second, whether oral diseases and oral health problems are related to systemic diseases. Since this may have an impact, we aim to provide basic data to facilitate the expansion and emphasize the importance of integrated health management education. Methods: Original data from the 8th (2021) National Health and Nutrition Survey, conducted by the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, were analyzed using SPSS Version 21.0 (IBM). A complex sample frequency analysis was conducted to confirm the general and health-related characteristics of the study subjects, and a complex sample cross-analysis was conducted to determine chewing discomfort according to both general and health-related characteristics. Complex sample multiple logistic regression analysis was conducted to determine the effect on chewing discomfort. Results: In order to analyze the factors that affect chewing discomfort, the general characteristics that showed significant differences in chewing discomfort were adjusted for age, personal income, education level, basic livelihood security, high blood pressure, subjective health status, and subjective oral health. It was found that the condition had a statistically significant effect on chewing discomfort. Conclusion: The findings of this study demonstrate that high blood pressure, subjective health status, and subjective oral health status affect chewing discomfort; hence, measures such as developing and operating programs to improve national oral health are needed. We hope that our study will be used as basic data for research into chewing discomfort and systemic diseases in the elderly.

본 연구는 일부 대학생을 대상으로 주관적 구강건강 인지지각이 구강건강증진행위에 미치는 융합적 요인을 조사하고자 실시하였다. S대학교 재학생 300명을 대상으로 2017년 4월 10일부터 4월 30일까지 설문조사하여 최종 290명의 자료를 사용하였다. 구강건강지식은 11.46점, 5점 척도인 구강건강 중요성은 1.71점, 구강건강 상태 2.78점, 구강건강 관심 2.52점으로 나타났다. 구강보건교육경험유무에서 구강건강지식과 구강건강중요성, 구강건강관심에서 유의한 차이가 나타났다(p<0.001). S대학 학생들의 구강건강증진행위에 영향을 미치는 융합 요인은 구강건강상태(${\beta}=-0.188$), 구강건강관심(${\beta}=-0.265$)이었다. 구강건강상태와 구강건강관심이 높을수록 결국 구강건강증진행위도 높아짐을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 구강건강지식을 높이고 구강건강에 관심을 갖게 하여 행동과 태도의 변화를 일으키게 하는 구강보건교육 프로그램이 개발되어야 한다.
