This study examined whether a correlation exists between the oral health indices assessed by experts and the self-perceived oral health status to develop practical oral health improvement programs for adults. In addition, this study provides basic data for carrying out oral health projects that can enhance the quality of life of adults. The raw data for the 2nd year (2014) of the 6th national health and nutrition survey were analyzed. Among those surveyed, adults over the age of 19 were designated as research subjects. In all age groups, correspondents with a higher DMFT Index assessed their self-perceived oral health status to be 'poor'. The oral health index evaluated by experts showed a correlation with the self-perceived oral health status. Therefore, as a higher self-perceived oral health status might help improve the objective oral health indices, oral health improvement programs should be strengthened to instill self-perceived oral health behavior.

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.
