Abstract

본 연구는 제 4기 (2007-2009년도) 국민건강영양조사를 활용하여 65세 이상 1,565명 노인을 대상으로 결손치아에 미치는 요인과 결손치아와 흡연과의 연관성을 알아보고자 하였다. 인구사회학적 특성은 연령에서 나이가 들면서 결손치가 증가하였고, 특히 흡연과 결손치아의 연관성을 알아보기 위하여 사회경제적인 요인 및 행태들을 보정한 후 흡연상태와 성별, 사회경제적인지위, 치과방문패턴과 연관성을 알아본 결과, 남자보다 여자가 현재흡연상태에서 결손치아수가 높게 나타났으며, 사회경제적지위인 '하'에서 결손치아수가 높게 나타났다(p<0.000). 치과 방문패턴에서는 1년에 치과를 2번 이상 방문에서 결손치아수가 높게 나타나 향후 추가적인 연구를 통해 치과차원의 예방적인 금연정책이 필요할 것으로 보인다. This study aims to investigate the factors affecting tooth loss and the association between smoking and tooth loss, by using the forth Korea National Health and National Examination Survey(2007-2009) of 1,565 elderly people over 65 years old. In terms of the characteristics, as age increases, tooth loss increases. In particular, according to the results of the analysis that identify the correlation between smoking to gender, socio-economic status and dental visiting patterns after correcting socio-economic factors and behavior, it is clear that male's tooth loss is higher than female's in current smoking and tooth loss is caused highly in the lower socio-economic status. In the dental visiting patterns, tooth loss is high when visiting more than twice a year. Therefore, it seems to need a preventive non-smoking policy at the level of dental services through further studies.
