Purpose: This study was to examine the factors (depression, level of health status, physical function, depression) influence health related quality of life (EQ5D) in community dwelling elderly according to sex. Methods: A total of 226 elderly subjects over the age of 65 years in community were included. Data were collected by measuring the physical function (muscle endurance, flexibility, balance, and cardiovascular endurance) and by using a questionnaire about EQ5D, depression, health status. Data were analyzed by SPSS 18.0 and AMOS 18.0. Results: The major findings of this study are as follows. Explained variance of EQ5D by regular exercise, physical function, and level of health status was 19% for male elderly subjects and 26.0% for female elderly subjects. The effect was different according to sex. Depression has the effect on EQ5D (${\beta}=-.356$, p<.001) in females, while the level of health status has the effect (${\beta}=.314$, p=.027) in males. Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that the effect of regular exercise, physical function, and level of health status were different on EQ5D according to sex. Thus, different health programs according to sex are necessary to increase the quality of life in elderly individuals.

본 연구는 우리나라 중년기와 노년기의 주관적 건강, 신체적 건강, 정신적 건강수준의 차이에 학력과 소득의 사회경제적 지위가 어떻게 매개하는지를 알아보기 위한 연구이다. 선행연구에서는 증가하는 노년인구와 더불어 심각하게 증가되는 의존 수명에 대한 다양한 논의가 이루어지고 있다. 그러나 정작 수년 내에 노년기에 접어들게 될 중년기의 건강수준이 노년기와는 각 건강수준에서 어떻게 차이가 나며, 사회경제적 지위에 따른 건강수준이 어떠한가에 대한 연구는 매우 제한적이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 전 국민을 대상으로 한 자료를 토대로 중년기와 노년기의 계층별, 연령별 건강수준을 분석하고자 한다. 분석자료는 한국노동연구원에서 실시한 1차 한국고령화패널(KLOSA)을 활용하였고, 주관적 건강, 신체적 건강, 정신적 건강수준에 소득과 학력이 매개변수로서 작용하는지를 검증하기 위해 경로분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과 중년기에서 노년기로 접어들수록 주관적 건강수준은 낮아지고, 만성질환 유병은 높고, 정신건강수준은 매우 낮아지는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 중년기와 노년기 모두 학력과 소득이 높을수록 건강수준이 높고, 중년기와 노년기의 모든 건강수준에 학력과 소득이 매개효과를 갖는 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구는 노인요양시설 종사자들을 대상으로 구강보건지식 및 인지도를 파악하기 위하여 경기도지역 노인시설 종사자 233명을 대상으로 자기기입식 설문지를 작성하게 하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 조사대상자의 구강보건지식의 문항별 응답은 '칫솔질할 때 혀도 닦아야 한다'가 97%로 가장 높은 정답률을 보였다. 2. 구강보건행태에 따른 구강보건지식정도에서는 정기적 치과방문이 6개월마다 방문한다고 응답한 대상자가 높게 나타나 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다(p<.05). 일일 칫솔질 횟수에서는 4회 이상 칫솔질을 한다고 응답한 대상자가 구강보건지식이 높게 나타났으며 통계적으로도 유의한 차이를 보였다(p<.05). 3. 구강보건 지식정도는 전체 평균은 13점 만점에 9.84점으로 전체적으로 구강보건지식수준이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 하위영역에서는 일반적인 구강보건지식이 4점 만점 중 3.69점, 노인성 구강보건지식인 6점 만점에 4.28점, 의치구강보건지식이 3점 만점에 1.86점으로서 일반적인 구강보건 지식이 가장 높은 것으로 나타났다. 4. 노인구강보건관심에 따른 구강보건지식정도는 관심이 많다고 응답한 대상자가 구강보건지식정도가 높게 나타나 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다(p<.001). 5. 조사대상자의 노인구강보건관리 및 교육요구도 에서는 교육이 필요하다는 응답이 83.7%, 불필요하다는 응답이 16.3%로 나타났다. 6. 노인구강보건관리 및 교육은 치과위생사가 하는 것이 적합하다라는 응답이 57.9%로 가장 많았고 구강보건지식정도도 치과위생사가 되어야 한다고 인지한 대상자가 높은 것으로 나타났고 통계적으로도 유의한 차이를 보였다(p<.05)(Table 7). 이상의 결론을 정리해 보면 시설종사자들에게 노인구강 보건관리에 대한 일반적인 구강보건지식을 교육시킬 필요가 있으며 더불어 보다 전문적이고 체계적인 노인구강 건강관리서비스를 제공하기 위하여 치과위생사를 노인시설에 적극적으로 배치시키는 일들에 대한 적극적인 검토가 필요하다고 생각한다.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to identify the influential factors on health behavior of the middle and elderly generations in a rural community. Methods: The subjects of this study were 495 people. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, T-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient and multiple regression analysis. Results: 1. The differences of health behavior by sample characteristics were found to have significance of age, marital status, residence status, education level, and occupation. 2. The level of health behavior was related positively to the level of social support and self-efficacy. The level of health behavior was related negatively to the level of anxiety and depression. 3. The multiple regression analysis revealed that the most powerful predictor of health behavior was 'social support,' followed by anxiety and self-efficacy. A combination of social support (42.1%), anxiety (3.0%) and self-efficacy (0.8%) accounted for 45.9% of the variance in health behavior in the middle and elderly subjects. Conclusions:. The findings of this study could be effectively used to develop a practical management strategy to help promote health and health behavior of the middle and elderly people living in rural communities.
