Background: People with disabilities have higher prevalence rates and earlier onset of chronic disease than the non-disabled; therefore, their participation in health screening is important. This study evaluates the participation rate and trends in health screening of people with disabilities, and examines the association between their participation rate and disability characteristics, and socioeconomic status. Methods: Data on disability-related characteristics were collected from the National Disability Registry, and participants' corresponding health examination data were taken from the Korean National Health Insurance Corporation between 2002 and 2011. A total of 873,819 participants aged ${\geq}20$ years were analyzed in this study. Results: The rate of participation of people with disabilities in health screening has increased each year, but their participation rate is lower than that of the total population. The participation rate was lower in females than in males; the elderly group than in the younger group; those who live in city areas than rural areas; self-employed for health insurance than employees; those with an internal organ disability than those with an external physical disability; those with a severe disability than those with a mild disability; and those with a short-term disability than for those with a long-term disability. Conclusion: The factors associated with participation rate are age, sex, socioeconomic status, and disability characteristics. These findings indicate that health check-ups of people with disabilities should be promoted using an approach that takes into account the large individual differences in socioeconomic status and disability characteristics in this population.

This study investigates the acoustic-phonetic features and speech intelligibility of Lombard speech in children with intellectual disability, by examining the effect of Lombard speech at 3 levels of non-noise, 55dB, and 65dB. Eight children with intellectual disability read sentences and played speaking games, and their speech were analyzed in terms of intensity, pitch, vowel space of /a/, /i/, and /u/, VAI(3), articulation rate and speech intelligibility. Results showed, first, that intensity and pitch increased as noise level increased; second, that VAI(3) increased as the noise level increased; third, that articulation rate decreased as noise intensity increased; finally, that speech intelligibility increased as noise intensity increased. The Lombard speech changed the VAI(3), vowel space, articulation rate, speech intelligibility of the children with intellectual disability as well. This study suggests that the Lombard speech will be clinically useful for the persons who have intellectual disability and difficulties in self-control.

Objectives : The evaluation of disability after trauma in psychiatry is relatively subjective compared with other departments. A consensus among evaluators could improve reliability of evaluations. We compared disability rate of common psychiatric disorders without definite brain injury depending on their diagnosis from experienced evaluators in Korea. Methods : A written questionnaire was mailed to each evaluator and the reply was analyzed. The questions included disability rate ranges of postconcussional syndrome, PTSD and depression. Other questions related with admission for evaluation, expected duration of treatment, life expectancy and need of supporting person were also asked. Results : Range of disability rate were from $8.6{\pm}4.5%$ to $26.6{\pm}12.8%$ in postconcussional syndrome, from $10.4{\pm}6.8%$ to $36.4{\pm}13.8%$ in PTSD and from $10.0{\pm}4.6%$ to $30.6{\pm}10.3%$ in depressive disorder. There were lots of diversity in expected duration of treatment with psychiatric disability. Decline of life expectancy and need of supporting person were considered at least 50% of disability. Conclusion : There is much diversity in evaluation of psychiatric disabilities with disability rate and expected duration of treatments even among experienced evaluators. A common consensus among experts may increase reliability of psychiatric evaluations after trauma.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to identify the differences in obesity rates among people with and without disabilities, and evaluate the relationship between obesity rates and the existence of disabilities or characteristics of disabilities. Methods: Mass screening data from 2008 from the National Disability Registry and National Health Insurance (NHI) are used. For analysis, we classified physical disability into three subtypes: upper limb disability, lower limb disability, and spinal cord injury. For a control group, we extracted people without disabilities by each subtype. To adjust for the participation rate in the NHI mass screening, we calculated and adopted the weight stratified by sex, age, and grade of disability. Differences in obesity rates between people with and without disabilities were examined by a chi-squared test. In addition, the effect of the existence of disabilities and grade of disabilities on obesity was examined by multiple logistic regression analysis. Results: People with disabilities were found to have a higher obesity rate than those without disabilities. The obesity rates were 35.2% and 35.0% (people with disabilities vs. without disabilities) in the upper limb disability, 44.5% and 34.8% in the lower limb disability, 43.4% and 34.6% in the spinal cord injury. The odds for existence of physical disability and grade of disability are higher than the nondisabilities. Conclusions: These results show that people with physical disability have a higher vulnerability to obesity.

The purpose of this study would like to analyze statically significant difference for low back-pain frequency of mother after development-disability children. Seven nursery children with disability conducted survey from 122 mothers cared children with disability. Survey data was obtained from April 14. 2006 to May 23. 2006. The results were as follows: According to walking-existence, assistance walking, and disability-degree, low back pain incidence frequency of mothers were statically significant difference, (p<0.05). Low back pain incidence frequency of walker-ability population was 51.4%, but low back pain incidence frequency of walker-disability population was 80.0%. then low back pain incidence frequency of mothers to walking-existence was differed amount. Disabled not statically significant difference to encephalopathy and disability-type1 and disability -type2 (p>0.05). children with disability-degree and assistance walking benchmarked low back pain disability-measure. Low back pain degree not relevancy statically significant. Physical load was statically significant difference between Oswestry's low back pain score and reach effect to child-cared(p<0.05). As development-children with disability of disable degree, Mother appeared to highly low back pain frequency rate and appeared to large reach effect child-cared owing to physical load of low back pain. So hereafter, location and person request to approach with more clinical and objectively. As approach result, it will help to stress solution of children with disability owing to develop to low back pain class and family capable strengthening program and so on.

Background: Dialysis patients are prone to having disabilities. We aimed to evaluate the association between disability and various clinical outcomes in Korean dialysis patients. Methods: This study consisted of 1,615 dialysis patients from 27 centers. We evaluated disability by using four questions on the activities of daily living (ADLs) concerning whether help was needed for feeding, dressing/undressing, getting in/out of bed, or taking a bath/shower. We divided the patients into three groups: no disability (Non-D, none of the four ADL domains required help; n=1,312), mild disability (Mild-D, one ADL domain required some/full help; n=163), or moderate to severe disability (MS-D, two or more ADL domains required some/full help; n=140). We evaluated falls, frailty, health-related quality of life (HRQoL), mortality, and hospitalization. Results: The numbers of participants with a fall during the last 1 year were 199 (15.2%), 42 (25.8%), and 44 (31.4%) in the Non-D, Mild-D, and MS-D groups, respectively (p<0.001). The numbers of participants with frailty in the Non-D, Mild-D, and MS-D groups were 381 (29.0%), 84 (51.5%), and 93 (66.4%), respectively (p<0.001). In both univariate and multivariate analyses, the physical component scale and mental component scale scores decreased as the grade of disability increased (p<0.001 for both scores). Hospitalization-free survival rate at 500 days was 64.2%, 56.7%, and 51.1% in the Non-D, Mild-D, and MS-D, respectively (p=0.001 for trend). Patient survival rate at 500 days was 95.3%, 89.5%, and 92.3% in the Non-D, Mild-D, and MS-D, respectively (p=0.005 for trend). Conclusion: Disability was associated with falls, frailty, HRQoL scales, and survival trends in Korean dialysis patients.

이 논문은 건강수명의 개념을 도입하여 우리 나라 국민의 건강수준이 어느 정도인지를 규명하고 있다. 평균수명으로는 수명의 양적인 측정은 가능하지만 수명의 질적인 측면의 측정이 배제되기 때문에 일부 선진국가에서는 국민들의 사망과 상병상태를 결합한 활동장애가 없는 건강여명(Disability-Free Life Expectancy)을 산출하여 이용하고 있다. 우리 나라 국민의 활동장애가 없는 건강여명을 산출하기 위하여 사망자료로는 1989년도 간이생명표를 이용하였으며 상병자료로는 대표성을 고려하여 표본의 크기가 가장 큰 1989년 국민건강조사를 이용하였다. 주요 결과를 보면 우리 나라 남자의 경우 0세에서 활동장애가 없는 건강여명은 60.48년이었으며, 여자는 남자보다 3.2년이 더 높은 63.80년으로 나타났다. 연구자에 따라 활동장애에 대한 정의나 측정방법이 다르기 때문에 국제간 정확한 비교는 곤란하지만 우리 나라의 활동장애여명을 외국과 비교해보면 단기이환으로 인한 활동장애여명은 비교적 높지만, 장기이환으로 인한 활동장애여명은 선진국에 비해 낮은 수준이라 할 수 있다. 앞으로 우리 나라에서도 국민의 건강수준을 질적 양적 측면에서 정확히 평가하기 위하여 필요한 기초자료가 주기적으로 생산되어야 할 것이다.

본 연구는 실업의 장기화, 장애차별현상 등 장애인노동시장 문제의 해법을 모색하기 위해 장애차별변수를 활용하여 장애인의 실업탈출과 이와 관련된 요인을 살펴보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 장애인고용패널조사의 3차~5차의 자료를 활용하여 자료를 구성하고 실업탈출(취업)과 관련하여 사건사 분석을 실시하였다. 분석결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 실업기간에 따른 실업탈출가능성의 변화를 생명표 분석을 통해 분석한 결과, 최장 실업기간(25개월)까지 실업상태로 남아 있는 비율은 90.5%이고, 노동시장에 진입한 비율은 9.5%에 불과한 것으로 나타났다. 전반적으로 실업유지율은 매우 높게 나타났고, 실업탈출 가능성은 12개월까지 증가하다가 그 이후부터는 감소하는 추세를 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 실업탈출에 영향을 요인을 파악하고자 콕스비례해저드모형을 이용하여 분석한 결과, 남성일수록, 비수급가구일수록, 경증일수록, 직장차별경험이 없을수록 실업탈출 가능성이 높아지는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 통해 장애인의 실업탈출(취업)을 촉진하기 위해서는 우선 고용상에 발생하는 장애차별을 해소할 수 있는 장애인차별금지제도를 보다 강화해야 하며, 기초수급 장애인들의 근로를 유인할 수 있도록 현행 국민기초생활보장제도를 보완할 필요성이 있음을 제안하였다. 추가적으로 실업탈출에 어려움이 있는 여성장애인, 중증장애인 등과 같이 정책대상을 보다 세분화하여 개별욕구와 특성에 부합하는 고용서비스의 필요성을 제안하였다.
