Objectives: The purpose of the study was to investigate factors affecting health risk behavior, oral health related quality of life (OHIP-14) and happiness in soldiers. Methods: Data were collected from Gangwon and Chungchong provinces from the first to the $15^{th}$ of October, 2016. Excluding five copies with incomplete answers, 203 copies of the questionnaire were were analyzed. Health risk behaviors (drinking and smoking), perceived oral health, OHIP-14 and happiness were measured. The data were analyzed with a t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regression using the SPSS 22.0 program. Results: The amount of daily cigarette consumption of soldiers (66 people) was an average of 10.11 cigarette. The mean of OHIP-14 and that of happiness were 4.43 and 4.05, respectively. The higher the quality perceived oral health, the better the OHIP-14 (r=0.234) and happiness (r=0.192) were. The higher the OHIP-14, the higher the happiness (r=0.357). OHIP-14 was related to army, perceived oral health and happiness. The explanatory power of the model was 17.0%. Conclusions: OHIP-14 is associated with happiness. These results suggest that oral health education programs and policies need to be developed to instill happiness in soldiers.

Objectives: This study aimed to validate the moderating effect of oral health on the relationship between perceived health status and health-related quality of life in the elderly and to use this information as primary data to suggest oral health policies for the aged society. Methods: This study included 3,707 subjects aged over 65 years who answered all the variables used in the study model and completed the health questionnaire and screening survey based on the sixth Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Baron & Kenny's linear regression analysis using SPSS 22.0 and SPSS Macro Version 3.1 programs was performed to confirm the moderating effect of the number of remaining natural teeth, chewing difficulty, and cardiovascular disease on the relationship between perceived health status and healthrelated quality of life in the elderly. Results: The number of remaining natural teeth, chewing difficulties, and cardiovascular diseases affected the perceived health status of the elderly. As the number of remaining natural teeth increased, the effect of perceived health status on the quality of life in the elderly was buffered. The effect of perceived health status on the quality of life increased with chewing difficulties and the number of cardiovascular diseases. In particular, it was confirmed that chewing difficulties, rather than the number of cardiovascular diseases. had a greater effect on the quality of life in the elderly. Conclusions: Oral health policies and projects are required to ensure oral rehabilitation with dentures and implants and restore chewing function to improve the quality of life of the elderly in Korea.

본 연구에서는 Q 방법론을 이용하여 노인들을 통해 치아나 잇몸 혹은 틀니 관련 노인구강관리의 불편함을 어떻게 인식하는가를 중심으로 집단을 유형화하고 그 집단의 특징을 고찰하여 보았다. 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 대상자들은 '맛의 감각 저하 및 구강의 통증', '맛의 감각 저하 및 삶의 질 저하'의 두 가지 유형으로 구분되었다. 이들 두 가지 유형 모두 비슷하게 34명중 16명, 5명씩 해당되었으며 이를 종합해 볼 때 맛의 감각 저하 및 구강의 통증, 그리고 삶의 질 저하 등의 구강관리의 필요성을 제시하였다. 2. 모든 유형에서 공통적으로 '맛을 느끼는 감각이 예전보다 나빠졌다고 느낀 적이 있다', '혀나 혀 밑, 뺨, 입천장 등이 아픈 적이 있다', '아프거나 거북스러운 입안의 문제 때문에 음식 먹기가 불편한 적이 있다', '살아가는 것이 예전에 비해 덜 만족스럽다고 느낀적이 있다' 가 노인구강관리에 결정적으로 영향을 미치는 요인으로 인식하였다. 3. 각 유형에서 공통적으로 부정하는 항목을 살펴보면, '창피해서 다른 사람을 만나기가 꺼려진 적이 있다', '편안하게 쉬지 못한 적이 있다', '난처하거나 당황스러웠던 적이 있다', '다른 사람들에게 화를 잘 낸 적이 있다' 이었다. 본 연구의 제한점은 다음과 같다. 1. 본 연구는 주관성을 중심으로 한 연구이므로 한국 노인들의 노인구강관리에 대한 생각을 대표한다고 할 수 없다. 2. 앞으로의 연구에서는 학력, 성별, 경제, 건강수준, 종교 등 다양한 사회인구학적으로 다른 분류에 대한 연구가 더 진행되어야 할 것으로 생각된다.
