Abstract

Objective : This study analyzed the correlation between cognitive function and oral health-related quality of life (OHQoL). Methods : Demographic and clinical characteristics were extracted and utilized for subjects aged 45 years or older who participated in the 8th Korean Longitudinal Study on Aging in 2020. The dependent variable was the Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index, and the independent variable was the level of cognitive function classified by the Mini-Mental State Examination scores. The analysis method used inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW). Then, the association between cognitive function and OHQoL was analyzed by multiple regression analysis. Results : Among the participants, 4,367 (71.40%) had normal cognition, 1,155 (18.89%) had moderate cognitive impairment, and 594 (9.71%) had severe cognitive impairment. As a result of analysis by applying IPTW, there was a negative correlation between the cognitive function group and OHQoL (normal vs. moderate: β = -2.534, p < .0001; normal vs. severe: β = -2.452, p < .0001). Conclusion : After propensity score matching, mild cognitive impairment showed a more negative association than severe cognitive impairment. Therefore, patients with cognitive impairment require oral health management education to improve OHQoL regardless of the level of cognitive impairment.

목적 : 본 연구는 노인들의 인지기능과 구강건강관련 삶의 질 사이의 연관성을 분석하기 위해 수행되었다. 연구방법 : 2020년에 수집된 제8차 고령화연구패널조사에 참여한 지역에 거주하는 45세 이상의 중고령자를 대상으로 인구통계학적 및 임상적 특성을 추출하여 활용하였다. 독립변수는 한국형 간이정신상태검사 점수를 기준으로 분류한 인지기능, 종속변수는 구강건강관련 삶의 질을 측정하기 위한 노인구강건강평가지수이다. 인지기능 그룹 간 공변량의 차이를 보정하기 위해 성향점수 활용법 중 역확률가중치를 적용 후 인지기능과 구강건강관련 삶의 질의 연관성을 분석하기 위해 역확률가중치 적용 전의 다중회귀분석과 적용 후의 다중회귀분석 결과에 차이가 있는지 결과를 비교하였다. 결과 : 연구 대상자는 총 6,116명으로 인지정상군 4,367명, 경도 인지손상군 1,155명, 중증 인지손상군 594명으로 구성되었다. 성향점수 역확률가중치 적용 결과로 표준화된 평균 차이(standardized mean difference)를 확인하여 0.2 이상인 변수를 다시 통제하고 분석한 다중회귀모델에서 인지기능 그룹과 구강건강관련 삶의 질 간의 부정적인 연관성이 있었다(정상 vs. 경도: β = -2.534, p < .0001; 정상 vs. 중증: β = -2.452, p < .0001). 결론 : 본 연구 결과에서 인지손상과 구강건강관련 삶의 질은 음의 연관성을 나타내었다. 성향점수 활용 후 중증 인지손상보다 경도 인지손상에서 더 부정적인 연관성을 나타낸 결과는 인지손상은 저하된 정도와 관계없이 구강건강관련 삶의 질에 부정적인 영향을 미치는 것을 의미한다. 따라서 인지기능의 감퇴가 나타난 모든 환자들은 구강관리의 중요성과 교육이 필요하다는 것을 시사한다.
