Abstract

The aim of this study was to analyze the factors related to self-reported halitosis. This study performed a questionnaire survey, targeting at 450 adults who lived in Seoul and Gyeonggi area. Main results of this study were as followings. Relationships between socio-demographic characteristics and halitosis showed no significant difference. Relationships between subjective oral health and halitosis, the groups that were treated dental prosthesis, aware of periodontal disease and dry mouth symptoms reported more halitosis (p<0.05). The group that brushed teeth less than twice a day, did not brush teeth after having a snack, and had frequent sweet treat reported more halitosis (p<0.05). The group that more experienced limitation, discomfort, discomfort reported more halitosis (p<0.05). Based on the results derived as above, the self-reported halitosis was shown to be related to periodontal disease, dry mouth, oral hygiene care and quality of life. Therefore, it is considered that preventing periodontal disease and oral dryness as well as reinforcing the oral hygiene care will contribute to prevention of halitosis and enhancement of quality of life.

본 연구는 구취인식도와의 관련요인을 분석하고자 2010년 1월 7일부터 3월 14일까지 서울 및 경기지역에 거주하는 35세 이상에서 65세 미만의 성인 450명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였으며 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 인구사회학적 특성과 구취인식도의 관련성을 분석한 결과, 성별 등의 요인에 따라 구취인식도의 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 2. 주관적 구강건강상태와 구취인식도를 분석한 결과 전반적으로 구강건강상태가 좋지 않고, 보철치아가 있으며, 치주질환과 구강건조 증상을 인식한 집단에서 구취를 인식한 자가 더 많았다(p<0.05). 3. 건강행동 및 식습관과 구취인식도를 분석한 결과 하루 중 칫솔질 횟수가 2회 이하이고 간식 후 칫솔질을 시행하지 않으며 단 음식을 자주 섭취하는 집단에서 구취를 인식한 자가 더 많았다(p<0.05). 4. OHIP-14와 구취인식도를 분석한 결과, 삶의 질이 낮으며, 불편이나 통증 및 각종 능력저하를 많이 경험한 집단에서 구취를 인식한 자가 더 많았다(p<0.05). 또한 전반적으로 삶의 질이 낮은 집단에서 구취를 인식한 자가 많은 것으로 나타났다(p<0.05). 이상의 결과로 볼 때 구취인식도는 치주질환과 구강건조증상, 구강위생관리행동 및 삶의 질과 연관성이 있는 것으로 나타났으므로 치주질환 및 구강건조를 예방하고 구강위생관리행동의 강화는 구취를 예방하고 삶의 만족도를 향상시키는 데 크게 기여할 것으로 사료된다.
