Abstract

The aim of this research was to analyze the differences for the oral health status of the elderly people living in the long-term care facilities and the non-resident elderly. The study was conducted on 469 elderly people of the same age, gender and basic living conditions. Elderly residing in long-term care facilities had higher dental caries prevalence(p=0.019), DT(p=0.001), and MT(p=0.047) than non-resident elderly, and had lower FT(p<0.001) than non-resident elderly. The elderly living in facilities were 1.93 times more likely to be caries than non-residents, and 0.73 times more likely to have a filled tooth. The probability of denture use was 0.15 times for the maxillary and 0.13 times for the mandibular. The probability of denture needs was 5.61 times for the maxillary and 5.65 times for the mandibular. All of these results showed significant differences. As a result of this, it can be used as basic data for establishing oral health policy for oral health promotion of the elderly living in Long-term care facilities.

본 연구의 목적은 노인요양시설 거주 노인과 비거주 노인의 구강건강상태를 비교하는 것이었다. 연령, 성별, 기초생활수급상태가 동일한 469명을 매칭하여 구강건강상태를 비교분석하였다. 노인요양시설 거주 노인들은 시설 비거주 노인보다 치아우식 우병률(p=0.019), 우식영구치수(p=0.001), 상실영구치수(p=0.047)가 더 높았고 충전영구치수(p<0.001)는 더 낮은 것으로 확인되었다. 시설 거주 노인들은 비거주 노인들보다 치아우식에 유병될 확률이 1.93배 더 높았고, 충전치아를 가지게 될 확률은 0.73배였다. 의치를 장착하게 될 확률은 상악이 0.15배, 하악이 0.13배였으며, 의치필요도는 상악이 5.61배, 하악이 5.65배였다. 의치 장착여부 및 필요도에 대한 보정된 오즈비는 모두 유의한 것으로 나타났다. 이 결과를 바탕으로 노인요양시설 거주 노인의 구강건강증진을 위한 구강보건정책 수립을 위한 근거 자료로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.
