1인가구 증가는 전 세계적 현상으로 한국 또한 1인가구 비중의 증가가 급속히 진행 중이다. 1인가구는 그 형성 계기, 성별, 생애주기 등에 따라 매우 다양한 스펙트럼을 갖고 있으며, 각각의 특성을 반영한 지원이 가능하도록 1인가구 집단을 세분화하여 연구할 필요가 있다. 이 연구는 생애주기에 따라 청년기, 중장년기, 노년기 1인가구 등 세 개의 집단으로 분류하고, 1인가구 건강성 수준에 있어 집단 간 유의한 차이가 있는지, 나아가 건강성에 영향을 미치는 인구사회학적 특성 및 1인가구 삶의 특성에는 어떠한 것들이 있는지 살펴보았다. 분석을 위해 2022년도 김포시 거주 1인가구 237명을 대상으로 설문조사를 통해 수집된 자료를 이용하였고, 기술통계, 평균차이 검증(t-test, ANOVA), 중다회귀분석 등을 실시하였다. 1인가구의 전반적 건강성 수준을 살펴보면 생애주기별로 차이가 있었는데, 청년기 1인가구가 노년기 1인가구에 비해 건강성 수준이 유의하게 높았다. 중다회귀분석 결과, 1인가구 건강성에는 성별, 교육수준, 자발성, 차별경험 여부가 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 건강성을 구성하는 하위영역별로 영향을 미치는 변수에는 차이가 있었다. 생애주기에 따른 1인가구의 건강성 수준에 대한 결과를 토대로 하여 1인가구 정책의 방향성을 논의하고 실천적 함의를 제공하였다.

Background: This study aimed to analyze the impact of community health care resources on the place of death of older adults with dementia compared to those with cancer in South Korea, using public administrative big data. Methods: Based on a literature review, we selected person- and community-level variables that can affect older people's decisions about where to die. Data on place-of-death and person-level attributes were obtained from the 2013 death certification micro data from Statistics Korea. Data on the population and economic and health care resources in the community where the older deceased resided were obtained from various open public administrative big data including databases on the local tax and resident population statistics, health care resources and infrastructure statistics, and long-term care (LTC) insurance statistics. Community-level data were linked to the death certificate micro data through the town (si-gun-gu) code of the residence of the deceased. Multi-level logistic regression models were used to simultaneously estimate the impacts of community as well as individual-level factors on the place of death. Results: In both the dementia (76.1%) and cancer (87.1%) decedent groups, most older people died in the hospital. Among the older deceased with dementia, hospital death was less likely to occur when the older person resided in a community with a higher supply of LTC facility beds, but hospital death was more likely to occur in communities with a higher supply of LTC hospital beds. Similarly, among the cancer group, the likelihood of a hospital death was significantly lower in communities with a higher supply of LTC facility beds, but was higher in communities with a higher supply of acute care hospital beds. As for individual-level factors, being female and having no spouse were associated with the likelihood of hospital death among older people with dementia. Conclusion: More than three in four older people with dementia die in the hospital, while home is reported to be the place of death preferred by Koreans. To decrease this gap, an increase in the supply of end-of-life (EOL) care at home and in community-based service settings is necessary. EOL care should also be incorporated as an essential part of LTC. Changes in the perception of EOL care by older people and their families are also critical in their decisions about the place of death, and should be supported by public education and other related non-medical, social approaches.
