Abstract

Neuralgia is a disease that involves severe pain and has a very strong effect on the quality of human life, and the prevalence of the disease increases with aging. To date, previous studies on neuralgia were mainly focused on associations with mental illness, demographic information, and nutrients, and studies on association with blood information were very rare. Therefore, the objectives of this study are to examine the association between neuralgia and blood parameters and find clinical indicators related to neuralgia. To analyze the data, we used binary logistic regression based on data of the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Our results showed that age tended to have the higher association with neuralgia in both men and women, waist circumference and hematocrit level were associated with neuralgia in women, and fasting blood glucose and hemoglobin levels were associated with neuralgia in men. Also, we found that the association of neuralgia with waist circumference and blood information differed according to gender.

신경통은 중증의 고통을 수반하는 질병으로써 인간의 삶의 질에 매우 강한 영향을 주는 질병이며, 국내에서도 노화에 따라 유병율이 증가하는 추세이다. 그동안 신경통에 대한 국내외연구들은 주로 신경통과 연관성이 있는 정신질환, 인구학정 정보, 영양성분 등 과의 연관성 분석이 대부분이고, 혈액정보와의 연관성 연구는 매우 드물다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 신경통과 혈액 파라미터들과의 연관성을 도출하고 신경통과 연관성이 있는 임상지표를 도출하고자 한다. 본 연구를 위해 질병관리본부의 국민건강영양조사 데이터를 기반으로 binary logistic regression을 이용하여 분석하였다. 실험결과 남녀 모두에서 나이가 신경통과 가장 연관성이 높은 경향이 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 여성에서는 복부둘레와 헤마토크리트 수치가 신경통과 연관성이 있는 것으로 나타났고, 남성에서는 공복시혈당과 헤모글로빈이 신경통과 연관성이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 복부둘레 및 혈액정보들과 신경통사이에서의 연관성이 남녀에서 차이가 있는 것을 밝혀내었다.
