Abstract

This study was performed to determine the level of physical health(ADL, IADL) and mental health (cognitive impairment, dementia) among centenarians and to find the related factors. The study subjects were 268 centenarians who received medical check-ups from the National Health Insurance Corporation during 2011-2014. From the results, the factors that significantly influenced the ADL of the study subjects were gender, residential area, IADL, cognitive impairment and dementia. ADL and cognitive impairment were selected as the influencing factors of IADL, smoking status, ADL and IADL were selected as the influencing factors of cognitive impairment, and gender and ADL were selected as the influencing factors of dementia. These results suggested that the levels of physical and mental health of the centenarians were significantly affected by socio-demographic characteristics and health-related variables. Especially, the levels of physical and mental health were decreased with the poor group of health-related variables such as smoking, alcohol drinking and regular exercise.

본 연구는 국민건강보험공단의 건강검진 및 장기요양인정조사 자료를 이용하여 100세 이상 고령자들의 신체적 및 정신적 건강수준을 알아보고, 그의 관련 요인을 규명해 보고자 시도하였다. 연구대상은 2011년부터 2014년까지의 기간 동안에 국민건강보험공단에서 시행하는 건강검진 및 장기요양인정조사를 받은 주민등록상의 100세 이상 고령자 268명(남성 132명, 여성 136명)으로 하였다. 연구결과, ADL에 영향을 미치는 요인으로는 성별, 거주 지역, IADL, 인지기능장애 및 치매가 유의한 변수로 선정되었으며, IADL에 영향을 미치는 요인으로는 ADL과 인지기능장애가 유의한 변수로 선정되었다. 인지기능장애에 영향을 미치는 요인으로는 흡연상태, ADL 및 IADL이 유의한 변수로 선정되었으며, 치매에 영향을 미치는 요인으로는 성별, ADL이 유의한 변수로 선정되었다. 이상과 같은 연구결과는 조사대상자들의 신체적 건강(ADL, IADL) 및 정신적 건강(인지기능장애, 치매) 수준은 여러 인구사회학적 및 건강관련행위특성 변수에 따라 유의한 차이를 보이고 있으며, 특히 흡연, 음주 및 규칙적인 운동 등과 같은 건강관련행위특성이 좋지 않은 군은 좋은 군보다 신체적 및 정신적 건강수준이 저하되고 있음을 시사하고 있다.
