초록

본 연구는 2007년에 질병관리본부에서 수행한 제 3차(2007년) 청소년건강행태 온라인 조사 자료를 제공받아, 전국 중고등학교에 재학 중인 청소년 73,836명의 구강보건행태와 사회경제적 특성과의 연관성을 이용하여 분석하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS프로그램 12.0을 사용하여 연구목적에 맞게 통계분석을 실시한 결과 다음과 같다. 1. 치과방문 경험률은 여학생이 1.45(1.401-1.492)배 높게 나타났으며, 중학생이 높았고, 도시규모는 대도시의 학생이 높았고, 경제수준은 상이라고 인식하는 학생에서 높았고, 어머니 학력은 대졸이하인 학생에서 높게 나타났고, 학업성적도 상, 중, 하인 순으로 높게 나타났다. 2. 하루 칫솔질 총횟수는 여학생이 1.64(1.557-1.717)배 높았고, 도시규모는 군 지역에 사는 학생이 가장 높았고, 경제 상태는 상, 중, 하 순이었다. 3. 점심 직후 칫솔질여부는 고등학생이 2.92(2.830-3.020)배로 높았고, 여학생에서 1.79(1.737-1.851)배 높았으며, 도시규모는 군 지역에 사는 학생이 높았고, 경제상태는 상위층에서 점심 직후 칫솔질 실천률이 가장 높았으며, 어머니 학력은 대졸이하에서 높게 나타났다. 4. 수업시간 구강보건 교육경험 여부는 중학생이 고등학생 보다 높았고, 남학생이 높았으며 도시규모는 군지역에 사는 학생이 가장 높았고, 경제 상태는 상, 하, 중 순으로 높게 나타났다. 위의 결과를 보면, 점심 직후 칫솔질 실천비율이 저조하였고, 지난 일 년 동안 치과방문경험이 낮았으며, 수업시간 구강보건 교육경험율이 24.5%에 그쳐 청소년기 학교에서 생활하는 시간이 많기 때문에 학교에서도 구강건강관리를 지속할 수 있는 현실성 있는 프로그램개발이 필요할 것으로 보이며, 인구사회경제학적 특성이 구강보건행태에 영향을 끼치지 않는 다양한 정책개발이 요구되어진다.

The aim of this study was to assess the relevancy to oral health behaviors and socioeconomic characteristic among Korean adolescents. From '2007 Youth Behavior Risk Factor Surveillance 73,836 subjects database' which provided from 'Korean Centers for Disease Control and Prevention'. We conducted statistically analyzed binary logistic regression to determine the relation between dental health behavior and socioeconomic characteristic. Compared to adolescents in high-economic group, adolescents in medium or low-economic group had more likely poor dental health behaviors(p<0.05, p<0.01, p<0.001). In particular, there were significantly difference in toothbrushing the frequency of visiting a dental clinic and had received dental health education experiences. Conclusions, Because of the strong relation with demographic socioeconomic characteristic, must consider it when we improve of oral health by behavioral change. These results the need for the further development spread of oral health programs.
