본 연구는 구강보건행태 방법을 이해하고 다양한 연령층과 직업, 잇솔질 횟수와 잇솔질 시기를 분석하여 개개인의 구강건강을 증진시키기 위한 연구자료 및 구강보건 인식 증진 프로그램 개발에 기초자료를 제공하고자 2007년 10월 22일에서 23일까지 대전광역시에 거주하는 만 19세 이상 남녀를 대상으로 무작위 표본추출로 선정된 응답자를 대상으로 구조화된 설문지를 활용하여 분석하였다. 3회 이상 잇솔 사용을 분석한 결과 성별인 경우 여자가, 연령은 20대, 교육 수준 별로 대학교 재학 이상, 직업은 화이트칼라(전문직), 가계 수입별로는 500만원이상, 체질당지수는 저체중, 흡연 여부에서는 비흡연이, 최근 2년간 건강검진 경험의 경우 경험이 있는 사람이, 주관적 건강상태의 경우 좋을수록 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다. 식사 직후 잇솔 사용에 대하여 분석한 결과 교육수준에서 학력이 높을수록, 전문직일수록, 평균 월 수입이 많을수록, 흡연 유무에서는 비흡연, 최근 2년간 건강검진 경험의 경우 경험이 있는 사람이, 관적 건강상태의 경우 좋을수록 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다. 3회 이상 잇솔 사용을 종속변수로 로지스틱회귀분석을 실시한 결과 남성에 비해 여성이, 학력은 중졸이하에 비해 고졸이, 직업은 학생에 비해 가정주부가, 주관적 건강상태는 좋을수록 잇솔 사용 횟수가 식후 3회일 경향을 보였다. 식사 직후 잇솔 사용을 종속변수로 로지스틱회귀분석을 실시한 결과 학력은 중졸이하에 비해 고졸, 대졸이, 직업은 학생에 비해 자영업과 가정주부가, 흡연자에 비해 비흡연자가, 건강검진 경험자, 주관적 건강상태는 좋을수록 잇솔 사용 횟수가 식후 잇솔질의 경향을 보였다. 이상과 같은 결과를 볼 때 높은 교육수준이나, 건강에 대한 자기 신념이 높은 사람들은 구강 관리도 소홀하지 않다는 것을 보여주고 있다. 또한 그렇지 못한 그룹은 지속적인 교육 및 관리를 하여 구강관리의 중요성을 일깨워줘야 됨은 물론이며, 구강관리 뿐만 아니라 전체적인 건강관리에 대한 교육 프로그램을 개발 연구되어야 할 것이다.

본 연구는 우리나라 청소년의 치주건강상태와 구강건강인식 및 행태간의 연관성을 파악하여 구강건강향상을 위한 방안을 제시하고자 하며, 청소년 치주질환 예방 프로그램의 기초자료를 제공하는데 목적을 두었다. 연구문제의 검증을 위해 2006년도 국민구강건강실태조사의 원시자료를 활용해이중 구강검진과 학생용 면접기록지를 동시에 수행한 만 12~18세의 청소년 총 5,192명을 대상으로 하였다. 분석결과, 청소년의 치주건강상태를 성별, 연령별로 보면, 남자가 여자에 비해, 또한 연령이 많아질수록 치주건강상태가 나쁜 것으로 나타났다(P<.0001). 성별과 연령을 보정한 후 치주건강상태와 구강건강 인식 및 행태와의 관련성을 보면 주관적 구강건강인식이 좋지 않은 청소년이 좋은 청소년에 비해 불건 강한 치주조직군에 속할 가능성이 1.7배 높았고[Odds Ratio(OR)=1.74; p<0.001], 구강건강행태 변수 중 점심식사 후 잇솔질을 하지 않는 청소년은 잇솔질을 하는 청소년에 비해 불건강한 치주조직군에 속할 가능성이 1.6배 높았다(OR=0.1.59; P<0.001). 한편 구강건강행태 변수 중 1일 간식횟수는 치주조직의 건강상태와 통계적으로 유의하였으나, OR 값이 1보다 낮았다[1일 간식횟수가 4회 이상(OR=0.61; P<0.001), 2~3회(OR=0.58;P<0.001), 1회(OR=0.71;P<0.001)]. 끝으로 청소년의 구강건강 행태 변화를 통해 구강건강을 향상시킬 수 있음은 물론 청소년의 치주질환예방 및 관리프로그램 계획시 올바른 구강건강행태를 가지도록 하는 것의 중요성을 암시하고 있다.

The results showed that the groups of higher levels of achievement, and stress, lower daily frequency of tooth-brushing, and no intake of processing meat led to significantly higher levels for toothache and gingival pain recognition. Also, the higher halitosis recognizers had significantly higher levels of stress and the lower daily frequency of tooth-brushing. In conclusion, adolescents' health factors and eating behaviors affected their oral symptoms.
