Abstract

Objective : The aim of this study was to compare the sociodemographic characteristics, depression, quality of life, and unmet medical need in elders with and without limitation of activity by aging or dementia. Method : The data were used for raw data of seventh national health and nutrition examination survey (2016). We compared sociodemographic characteristics, depression, quality of life, and unmet medical needs between elders with limitation of activity by aging or dementia (n = 32) and elders without limitation of activity (n = 1201). Result : Elders with limitation of activity were significantly older than elders without limitation of activity (p<.001), income was lower (p<.05) and married status had more bereavement (p<.001). The elders with limitation of activity had higher depression (p<.001) and lower quality of life (p<.001) than elders without limitation of activity. Unmet medical need was greater than elders without limitation of activity (p<.001). Conclusion : Elders with limitation of activity showed that they did not receive enough medical services than elders without limitation of activity. These results suggest that the welfare system for the health care of population with aging or dementia needs to be improved.

목적 본 연구는 노령 또는 치매로 활동제한이 있는 노인과 활동제한이 없는 노인의 사회인구학적 특성, 우울, 삶의 질, 그리고 미충족 의료를 비교하고자 하였다. 연구방법 데이터는 2016년 국민건강영양조사 원시자료를 이용하였으며, 노령 또는 치매로 활동제한이 있는 노인 32명과 활동제한이 없는 노인 1201명을 비교분석하였다. 연구결과 노령 또는 치매로 활동제한이 있는 노인은 활동제한이 없는 노인보다 나이가 유의하게 많았으며(p<.001), 가구소득은 낮았고(p<.05), 결혼상태는 사별이 더 많았다(p<.001). 노령 또는 치매로 활동 제한이 있는 노인은 활동제한이 없는 노인보다 우울이 더 높았고(p<.001), 삶의 질은 유의하게 낮았다(p<.001). 미충족 의료 여부는 노령 또는 치매로 활동제한이 있는 노인이 활동제한이 없는 노인보다 적절한 의료 서비스를 받지 못하고 있었다(p<.001). 결론 치매 또는 노령으로 인한 활동제한이 있는 노인은 활동제한이 없는 노인과 비교하여 가구소득이 더 낮으며, 배우자가 사별인 경우가 더 많고 우울이 더 심각하고 삶의 질이 낮음에도 불구하고 의료서비스를 충분히 받지 못하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 치매 및 노령 인구의 건강관리를 위한 복지체계의 개선이 필요함을 시사한다.
