본 연구는 2001년 한국에서 사망한 60세 이상 노인들 62,000명의 사망기록 자료를 이용하여 사망원인의 다양성을 보여주는 한편 치매에 의한 사망원인을 가장 잘 예측할 수 있는 변수를 경험적으로 규명하고자 실시하였다. 이와 같은 목적을 위한 연구내용은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 노인들의 주요 사망원인에 해당하는 악성종양, 뇌혈관 질환, 심장병, 당뇨, 만성 호흡기 질환, 치매, 고혈압, 간 질환, 사고, 결핵 및 기타 질병 등 11개 사망원인에 대하여 빈도분석을 실시하였다. 둘째, 60세 이상 사망자들 가운데 치매에 의한 사망원인과 나머지 19개의 사망원인을 비교하여 치매에 의한 사망에 영향을 미치는 요인들을 다항로지스틱회귀분석을 통해 분석하였다. 그 결과, 한국의 노인인구 가운데 연령이 높을수록 치매로 인하여 사망할 가능성(우도비)이 높으며 여성이 남성에 비해 치매에 의하여 사망할 가능성이 높은 것으로 밝혀졌다. 그러나 교육수준이 높을수록 치매에 의하여 사망할 가능성이 낮은 것으로 나타났으며 거주지역은 치매에 의한 사망과 통계적으로 유의미한 관계가 있었으나 일관성은 없는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 한편 결혼지위는 치매에 의한 사망과 통계적으로 유의미한 관계가 없는 것으로 나타났다.
