Abstract

The study is investigated socioeconomic variations in perceived oral health status and contribution of oral health behavioral factors. A nationally representative sample (365 health and 1,787 unhealth aged 20 over years) from the 2015 Korea National Health and Nutrition Surveys was analyzed using logistic regression. Perceived oral health was lower among lower socioeconomic groups compared with higher socioeconomic groups. This association was increased when demo-socioeconomic factors and oral health behavioral were adjusted. When each oral health behavioral factor was considered separately, mediators such as smoking, frequency of tooth brushing and used oral care products or oral health examination explained a large part of the increased socioeconomic oral health status. Subjective bad oral health arise from different socioeconomic status, but this difference is increased by oral health behavioral factors. Therefore, socioeconomic inequity in perceived oral health status can be corrected more effectively by promotional oral health behaviors.

본 연구는 주관적 구강건강상태와 구강건강행태 요인들의 기여도에 대한 사회경제적 변화를 조사하였다. 연구자료는 2015년 국민건강영양조사 자료를 이용하였으며, 이분형 로지스틱 회귀분석을 이용하였다. 연구결과 주관적 구강건강상태는 사회경제적 수준이 낮은 경우에서 낮게 나타났다. 이러한 연관성은 인구사회학적 요인들과 구강건강행태를 보정했을 때 연관성은 증가하였다. 또한 각각의 구강 건강 행태요인들을 보정했을 때, 흡연, 칫솔질횟수, 구강위생용품사용, 그리고 구강검진은 사회경제적 구강건강상태의 많은 부분을 설명하였다. 주관적 구강불건강은 사회경제적 상태에서 비롯되지만 이런 차이는 구강건강행태 요인들에 따라 증가되었다. 따라서, 본 연구결과에서 주관적 구강건강상태에서의 사회경제적 불평등은 구강건강증진 행태에 따라 더욱 효과적으로 교정될 수 있음을 시사한다고 볼 수 있다.
