Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between mastication problems and quality of life among middle-aged Koreans. The study used data from the 6th Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey(KNHANES VI). Data on 7,125 respondents aged 40 to 64 were analyzed to evaluate quality of life as measured by the Euro Quality of Life-5D(EQ-5D) index and mastication problems. Quality of life was classified as either low or high based on 0.96. The data were analyzed using SPSS 20.0. The prevalence of low quality of life was significantly higher in the group with mastication problems, at 41.9%, than in the group with no mastication problems(24.4%). After adjusting the general characteristics and oral health status, the odds of a lower quality of life were higher in the those with mastication problems, at 1.77 (95% CI: 1.53-2.06), than in those with no mastication problems. Mastication problem was significantly related to the quality of life. The studies are needed to reflect the oral factors in diverse age groups.

본 연구는 한국 중·장년의 저작 문제와 삶의 질의 관련성을 알아보고자 실시하였다. 제6기 국민건강영양조사 자료에서 만 40세 이상 64세 이하의 중·장년 중 건강관련 삶의 질을 알아보는 EQ-5D 지수 및 구강건강 상태에 대한 설문에 응답한 7,125명이 최종 분석대상이 되었다. 대상자의 삶의 질의 평균은 0.96점이었으며 이를 기준으로 삶의 질이 낮은 그룹과 높은 그룹으로 분류하여 저작문제와의 관련성을 분석하였고, 분석은 SPSS 20.0 프로그램을 이용하였다. 저작문제가 있는 그룹에서 낮은 삶의 질의 비율은 41.9%로 저작문제가 없는 그룹(24.4%)보다 유의하게 높았다. 로지스틱 회귀분석을 이용하여 저작문제가 없는 그룹을 기준으로 문제가 있는 그룹에서의 낮은 삶의 질의 비율을 분석하였다. 일반적 특성과 구강건강상태를 보정했을 때 저작문제가 있는 그룹에서 낮은 삶의 질의 비율은 1.77배(95% CI: 1.53-2.06)로 분석되어 저작 문제는 삶의 질과 유의한 관련성이 있음이 확인되었다. 다양한 연령층을 대상으로 건강관련 삶의 질에 관련성이 있을 것으로 예측되는 구강의 요인들을 반영한 연구가 필요하다.
