Abstract

This study analyzed the effects of the nutrient intake on oral health and chewing difficulty according to the age group. The subjects were 5,855 participants of the third Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey(KNHANES VI), 2015, Korea Centers for Disease Control and prevention and aged 20 years and over. The data were analyzed using SPSS Ver 21.0, classified as the difficulty in chewing group (DC) and no difficulty in chewing group (NDC). As a result, the DC rates were 5 times higher in the 60+ year age group (39.5%) than in the 20-39 year age group (8.1%). The DC group were experience periodontal disease (33.4%), dental caries (30.1%), diabetes (41.8%), myocardial infarction (57.3%), arthritis (44.0%), asthma (48.0%), and depression (41.9%). In addition, 86% of the DC group were experiencing speech problems. The DC group had significantly lower intakes (1446.59g), than the NDC group (1666.62g), and the protein, carbohydrate, dietary fiber and other dietary intake were significantly lower. These findings suggest that the chewing difficulty is related to the nutrient intake, and psychological status in the elderly DC group. Therefore, the care of chewing difficulties is essential for the elderly to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Accordingly, oral care and myofunctional therapy are needed to maintain oral health.

본 연구는 연령층별 구강건강과 저작불편이 영양소 섭취에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위해 수행되었다. 대상은 국민건강영양조사 제6기(2015), 질병관리본부 자료를 이용하였으며, 그 중 20세 이상 성인 5,855명을 선정하였다. 자료는 SPSS 21.0을 이용하여 분석하였다. 연구결과 저작불편군은 60세 이상이 39.5%로 나타났으며, 20-39세 8.1%에 비해 5배 가까이 높게 조사되었다. 저작불편군은 치주질환 33.4%, 치아우식 30.1%, 당뇨 41.8%, 심근경색 57.3%, 관절염 44.0%, 천식 48.0%, 우울증 41.9%를 현재 경험하고 있었고. 저작불편군의 86%가 발음 불편을 경험하고 있었다. 저작불편군의 식품섭취량은 1446.59g으로 저작용이군 1666.62g보다 낮았고 단백질, 탄수화물, 식이섬유 등 다양한 식품 섭취량이 유의하게 낮은 것으로 조사되었다. 결론적으로 저작불편은 식품섭취, 전신 및 정신건강과 관련이 있었고, 연령증가에 따른 저작불편은 발음 불편의 문제와도 연관성이 있었다. 그러므로 연령증가에 따른 구강건강 문제를 해결하기 위해 예방처치에 관심을 갖고 구강건강을 유지할 필요가 있으며, 저작불편 문제의 초기치료가 요구되었다. 그리고 구강질환 예방을 위한 치과적 치료뿐만 아니라 구강근훈련을 통한 구강기능 개선으로 저작, 발음 기능을 유지하여 건강한 삶을 유지할 수 있도록 지속적인 구강건강관리가 요구되었다.
