본 연구는 치아우식증을 예방하고 구강건강을 증진 유지시키는데 필요한 기초자료를 제공하고자 하였으며, 울산시 초등학교 4.5.6학년 545명을 대상으로 자체 개발한 자기기입식 설문지로 연구를 시행하였다. 수합된 자료는 SPSS 11.5 통계프로그램을 이용하여 기술통계량을 산출하고, t-검정과 ANOVA 검정을 실시하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. '치실에 대해 알고 있다'와 '불소에 대해 알고 있다'에서는 오답으로 답한 경우가 훨씬 높은 비율로 나타나 충치예방의 으뜸인 불소에 대한 지식이 매우 낮게 나타났다. 2. 학년에 따른 구강보건 지식 및 행동과 잇솔질 횟수는 4학년과 5학년이 6학년보다 더 낮게 나타났고 이는 통계학적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다(p = 0.000, p < 0.005). 3. 구강보건지식은 구강보건행동점수가 높을수록 통계적으로 유의하게 높게 나타났고(p = 0.001), 구강보건행동은 잇솔질 횟수가 많을수록 통계적으로 유의하게 높게 나타났다(p = 0.000).

This study identifies oral health behavior factors related to the health-related quality of life(EQ-5D) of adults. Three groups are analyzed, young adults(aged 19 to 39 years old), middle-aged(40 to 64 years old), and elderly(over 65 years old). By comparing the factors related to health-related quality of life by age, we will provide information for improving the overall quality of life, including oral health for current and future elderly. Using raw data from the 1st year(2016) of the National Health and Nutrition Survey, the oral health behaviors of the study subjects were compared. These included: the number of times teeth were brushed, the time brushing took place, the use of interdental care products, and whether they went for oral and examinations. There was a statistical significance in treatment experience and drinking habits. There was also a significant influence on the health-related quality of life across the age groups. Therefore, it is possible to improve the health-related quality of life, including oral health practices according to age. It will be necessary to develop and apply.

Methods: From the 2005 to 2017 Korea Youth Risk Behavior web-based Survey (KYRBS) Secondary Data (study to 748,461). Independent variables were the year, gender, grade, and living area. Dependent variables were the rate of tooth-brushing after lunch, scaling, use of sealant, and oral health education within 1 year. Chi-squire tests were used to estimate the rate of oral health behaviors and trends. In addition, multiple logistic regression analysis was used to estimate the association between socio-economic characteristics and oral health behaviors.
