Abstract

Objectives: The aim of this study was to characterize the community health indicators affecting standardized mortality rate of cerebrovascular diseases(CVD) and to identify the relationship between CVD mortality and community health indicators in Gangwon-do. Methods: The community health indicators included material deprivation index, medical resource, rates of road pavement and local tax. CVD mortality and the material deprivation index were calculated in the registered death data and the 2000 census which were obtained from the Korean National Statistics Office. The community health indicators were measured using 2001 statistical year book of Ganwon-do. Data were analyzed by using Excel 2003, SAS 9.1. CVD mortality and material deprivation index were visualized by Arcview 9.1. Results: CVD mortality varied by region and sex in Gangwon-do. The highest CVD mortality in male and female were noted at Goseong-gun, the lowest CVD mortality in male was at Yangyang-gun as it of female at Pyeongchang-gun. In Taebaek city where material deprivation index was also the highest; in Pyeongchang-gun was the lowest. Also the higher material deprivation index in some regions was the higher CVD mortality was. CVD mortality was not related with community health indicators. Conclusions: The results showed the regional difference of mortality of CVD among counties and cities in Gangwon-do. It is recommended that other community health indicators besides material deprivation index, road pavement rate, medical resources and local tax affecting CVD mortality need to be considered to improve the preventive strategies.

본 연구는 뇌혈관질환 사망에 영향을 미치는 지역의 건강상태 지표를 파악하기 위해 시도되었으며, 연구방법은 2000년 사망 원인 통계를 활용하여 뇌혈관질환으로 인한 사망자 수와 2000년 인구센서스 자료를 이용하여 인구수를 산출하여 뇌혈관질환 표준화 사망률을 산출하였다. 또한 지역사회 건강지표로 지역의 물질적 결핍 지수와 보건의료자원, 도로 포장율, 지방세를 지표로 하였다. 자료는 Excel 2003과 SAS 9.1을 활용하여 분석하였다. GIS 프로그램인 Arcview 9.1을 이용하여 뇌혈관질환 사망률과 지역의 물질적 결핍지수를 시각화하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 강원지역에서 뇌혈관질환의 표준화 사망률은 지역, 성별에 따라 차이가 있었다. 남자의 사망률이 가장 높은 지역은 고성군이었고, 가장 낮은 지역은 평창군으로 나타났다. 여자의 사망률이 가장 높은 지역은 고성군이었고, 가장 낮은 지역은 양양군이었다. 2. 강원도의 지역의 물질적 결핍지수는 태백시가 가장 높게 박탈된 지역으로 나타났고, 가장 적게 박탈된 지역은 평창군이었다. 3. 병 의원의 수, 지역의 물질적 결핍지수, 도로포장율. 지방세와 남녀 표준화 사망률과는 관계가 없었다. 본 연구의 의의는 지역의 여러 건강상태를 나타내는 자원들을 지표로 산출하여 뇌혈관질환 사망과 관련지어 분석하고, 또한 소지역인 시 군별 사망률의 차이와 지역사회 건강 지표인 물질적 결핍지수와의 관계를 시각화하였다는 점이다.
