Abstract

Korea Health Panel (KHP) data and Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) data are collected by self-assess and self-report for individual's health status and medical use. Previous studies have claimed that the reliability for prevalence rates and health life expectancies obtained from these data should be validated. National Health Insurance Services in Korea recently released a sample cohort DB that contain all data related to the use of medical facilities for all entire Korea citizens. It has been shown that disease-specific prevalence rates calculated from these data are representative and reliable for the entire population. In this paper, we evaluate the reliability of prevalence rates derived from self-reported data such as KHP and KNHANES by comparing to the prevalence rates from the sample cohort DB. We found that both KHP and KNHANES underestimate prevalence rates and in turn overestimate health life expectancies. Moreover, the general trends of health life expectancies might be distorted (except for the sample cohort DB) because of sampling and non-sampling errors.

한국 의료패널 데이터와 국민건강 영양조사는 추출된 표본의 자가 진단에 따른 건강상태(self-assessed health)와 그들의 의료기관 이용에 대한 자가응답식 자료(self-reported data)이다. 이러한 자료에 근거한 유병률 연구 및 그에 따른 건강기대수명 연구에 관하여 유병률의 신뢰도에 대한 검증이 선행되어야 한다는 주장은 이미 여러 연구에서 제기되었다. 반면 최근 공개된 건강보험공단의 표본코호트 DB는 전 국민을 대상으로 의료기관 이용에 관련된 모든 자료가 저장된 자료인 국민건강정보 DB로부터 추출된 객관적인 자료이다. 또한 추정된 질병별 유병률에 대하여 그 대표성 및 신뢰도가 확보되어 있음이 검증된 자료이다. 이에 본 논문에서는 우리나라 국민의 유병률에 대한 대표성 및 신뢰도가 확보되어 있는 표본코호트 DB와의 비교를 통하여 이들 응답식 데이터에서 도출된 유병률의 신뢰도에 대하여 논의하였다. 자가응답식 자료를 통한 유병률은 표본코호트 DB를 통한 유병률에 비교하여 보았을 때 과소추정되어 있고 이러한 과소추정은 건강기대수명의 과대추정 문제로 이어지고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 표본코호트 DB를 제외한 우리나라 건강자료의 안정적이지 못한 표본의 문제는 추정된 건강기대수명의 트렌드를 왜곡하는 문제가 추가적으로 발생할 수 있음을 확인하였다.
