Abstract

This study examined the mental health status (depression, cognitive impairment and dementia) and its association with the related factors in the elderly people who were admitted from long-term care insurance. The study subjects were 1,488 people (male 740, female 748) aged over 70 years of age who had been recognized for long-term care insurance services in the years 2011~2014 from the National Health Insurance Corporation. The data collected from the National Health Insurance Corporation set forth a lifestyle questionnaire, itemized health screening tests, and long-term care as recognition data for research purposes. As a result, depression, cognitive impairment, and dementia of subjects increased significantly with age. As a multiple logistic regression result, the risk ratios of depression, cognitive impairment, and dementia, which indicated the mental health status, were significantly higher in women than in men, in the lower body weight group than in the overweight group, in the smoking group than in the non-smoking group, and in the drinking group than in the non-drinking group. These results suggest that the mental health status (depression, cognitive impairment, and dementia) of subjects decreased with increasing age, particularly the group with poor health related behaviors, such as smoking, drinking, and regular exercise, indicating that the mental health condition is lower than in the good group.

본 연구는 우리나라 장기요양보험 인정자들의 연령대(70대군, 80대군 및 90세 이상 군)별 정신적 건강상태(우울, 인지기능장애 및 치매)를 알아보고, 정신적 건강상태에 관련된 요인을 규명해 보고자 시도하였다. 조사대상은 2011~2014년도에 국민건강보험공단에서 장기요양 인정자로 판정받았던 70세 이상 노인 1,488명(남성 740명, 여성 748명)으로 하였다. 자료 수집은 국민건강보험공단으로부터 생활습관 등이 기재된 문진표, 검사항목별 건강검진 및 장기요양자료를 연구목적으로 제공받아 수집하였다. 연구결과, 조사대상자들의 연령대별 정신적 건강상태를 나타내는 우울, 인지기능장애 및 치매 수준은 연령대가 증가할수록 유의하게 높아지는 경향을 보였다. 다중 로지스틱 회귀분석 결과, 정신적 건강상태를 나타내는 우울, 인지기능장애 및 치매가 나타날 위험비는 각 연령대별로 큰 차이 없이 남성보다 여성에서, 과체중군보다 저체중군에서, 비흡연군보다 흡연군에서, 비음주군보다 음주군에서 유의하게 증가하였다. 이상과 같은 연구결과는 조사대상자들의 정신적 건강상태(우울, 인지기능장애 및 치매)는 연령이 증가할수록 저하됨을 시사하며, 특히 흡연, 음주 및 규칙적인 운동 등과 같은 건강관련행위특성이 좋지 않은 군이 좋은 군보다 정신적 건강상태가 저하되고 있음을 시사하고 있다.
