Abstract

The purpose of this study was to identify the effect of nutrition related factors on mortality risk among community-residing older adults in Korea. We analyzed data from 8,532 older adults who took part in the 2008 living profiles of older people survey and 2011 death mortality data. According to Cox regression analysis, male (Hazard Ratio [HR], 2.03; 95% Confidence Interval [CI], 1.74~2.37), diabetes mellitus (HR, 1.35; 95% CI, 1.12~1.64), underweighted (HR, 2.68; 95% CI, 2.16~3.31), dysphagia (HR, 1.23; 95% CI, 1.02~1.47), chewing ability (HR, 1.33; 95% CI, 1.11~1.59), and undernutrition (HR, 1.47; 95% CI, 1.23~1.75) significantly affected mortality risk. Systematic nutrition support programs should be developed to decrease the mortality among Korean older adults.

본 연구의 목적은 한국 지역사회 거주 노인의 영양상태가 사망위험에 영향을 미치는지 파악하기 위함이다. 본 연구에서는 2008년도 노인실태조사 참여자 8,532명의 자료와 2011년 사망자 자료를 분석하였다. 콕스 회귀 분석 결과, 남성(Hazard Ratio [HR], 2.03; 95% Confidence Interval [CI], 1.74~2.37), 당뇨 (HR, 1.35; 95% CI, 1.12~1.64), 저체중 (HR, 2.68; 95% CI, 2.16~3.31), 연하곤란 (HR, 1.23; 95% CI, 1.02~1.47), 씹기 능력 (HR, 1.33; 95% CI, 1.11~1.59), 영양불량 (HR, 1.47; 95% CI, 1.23~1.75)이 사망위험에 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 한국 노인의 사망위험을 줄이기 위해 체계적인 영양 지원프로그램을 개발해야 할 것이다.
