Abstract

The aim of this study was to analyze the factors related to whole saliva flow and the xerostomia for the ground use of the materials in developing oral health improvement program and life quality improvement program. So, this study performed a questionnaire survey, targeting at 160 adults, older than 40 years, living in Gyeonggi and Incheon provinces from January to February 2011 and measured unstimulated salivary flow rate and stimulated salivary flow rate. The results are as followings. The group of participants who took gums and candies to relieve oral dryness had low stimulated whole saliva flow. The group of participants who graduated from middle schools, who separated by death, who were not healthy with menopause, and who recognized periodontal disease symptoms and tongue burning sensation recognized more symptoms of dry mouth than others. In addition, the group of participants who were not satisfied with life so much, who couldn't feel the meaning of life, and who recognized negative feelings frequently recognized symptoms of dry mouth more. Women, the group of participants who graduated from middle schools, who suffered from depressive symptoms, and who recognized halitosis had low unstimulated whole saliva flow. The group of participants who graduated from middle schools, who were not satisfied with life so much, who couldn't feel the meaning of life, and who were not satisfied with themselves had low stimulated saliva flow.

본 연구는 구강건조증과 전타액분비율과의 관련요인을 분석함으로써 건강인식도를 높이고, 삶의 질 향상 프로그램을 개발하는데 기초자료로 활용하고자 실시하였다. 2011년 1월 14일부터 2월 22일까지 경기 인천 지역에 거주하는 만 40세 이상의 성인 160명을 대상으로 설문조사와 비자극성, 자극성 전타액분비량을 측정하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 구강건조증 인식도와 전타액분비율과의 관련성을 분석한 결과 '구강건조의 완화를 위해 껌 사탕을 섭취'하는 집단에서 자극성 전타액분비율이 낮았다. 2. 중학교 졸업자와 사별(미혼) 집단에서 구강건조증을 더 많이 인식하고 있었다. 또한 중학교 졸업자는 고등학교 졸업자보다 비자극성 전타액분비율과 자극성 타액분비율이 더 낮았고, 여성은 남성보다 비자극성 전타액분비율이 낮았다. 3. 건강상태가 좋지 않으며 폐경 상태이고, 우울증 증상이 많으며, 치주질환 증상과 혀 작열감 등을 인식한 집단에서 구강건조증을 더 많이 인식하고 있었다. 또한 우울증의 증상이 많고 구취를 인식한 집단에서 비자극성 전타액분비율이 낮았다. 4. 삶의 만족도가 낮고 삶이 무의미하며 부정적 기분을 자주 인지하고, 구강건강과 관련된 삶의 질이 낮은 집단에서 구강건조증을 더 많이 인식하고 있었다. 또한 삶의 만족도가 낮고 삶이 무의미하며, 자신에 대한 만족도가 낮은 집단에서 자극성 전타액분비율이 더 낮았다. 이상의 결과로 볼 때, 전신건강과 구강건강인식도 및 삶의 질의 향상을 위하여 구강건조증과 타액분비의 저하는 조기에 예방하여야 하며, 삶의 질 향상 프로그램에 반드시 포함하여야 할 것으로 사료되었다.
