초록

목적 : 본 연구의 목적은 갑상선장애 환자에서 인지기능의 특징 및 이에 영향을 미치는 요인을 알아보기 위함이다. 방법 : 고신대학교복음병원 내분비센터내 갑상선크리닉에 내원한 98명(남자 16명, 여자 82명)의 갑상선장애 환자를 대상으로 반구조적 면담과 MoCA-K(Korean Version of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment) 및 한국어판 HDRS-17(Hamilton Depression Rating Scale-17)을 시행하여 다음의 결과를 얻었다. 결과 : 1) 인지장애가 동반된 갑상선장애 환자는 24명(24.49%) 이었다. 인지장애가 동반된 갑상선장애 환자군의 MoCA-K 총점은 18.42±3.75점으로서, 인지장애가 동반되지 않은 갑상선 장애 환자군(26.43±2.01점) 보다 유의하게 낮았다(p<0.001). 인지장애가 동반된 갑상선장애 환자에서 MoCA-K 소검사 중 지남력을 제외한 시각공간기능/집행력, 언어력, 집중력, 문장력, 추상력, 지연회상력 등의 인지영역에서 인지장애가 동반되지 않은 갑상선 장애 환자군보다 유의하게 점수가 낮았다. 2) 인지장애가 동반된 갑상선장애 환자군은 인지장애가 동반되지 않은 갑상선 장애 환자군보다 통계적으로 유의하게 연령과 갑상선장애의 초발연령이 높았고(각각 p<0.001), 교육수준과 HDL-cholesterol은 낮았다(p<0.001). 3) 갑상선장애 환자의 인지기능에 연관되는 변인으로서는 연령(ρ=-0.462, p<0.01), 교육수준(ρ=0.583, p<0.01), 갑상선장애의 초발연령(ρ=-0.494, p<0.01)이 MoCA-K 총점과 통계적으로 유의한 상관성이 있었다. 이 외에 성별, triiodothyronine, HDL-cholesterol, triglyceride가 MoCA-K 소검사 일부와 통계적으로 유의한 상관성을 보였다. 결론 : 갑상선장애 환자의 1/4 정도에서 여러 인지영역을 망라하는 인지장애가 동반되며, 특히 연령과 갑상선장애의 초발연령이 중요하게 연관되는 것으로 유추하건데, 노화에 관계된 기전이 작용할 가능성을 시사한다.

Abstract

Objectives:The aims of this study were to examine changes of cognitive function and its characteristics, and to identify influencing factors on cognitive fuction in patients with thyroid disorders. Methods:Data of 98 patients with thyroid disorders(16 males and 82 females) recruited from thyroid clinic in the Endocine Center of Kosin University Gospel Hospital were obtained by semi-structred interviews and MoCA-K(Korean Version of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment) and Korean version of the HDRS-17(Hamilton Depression Rating Scale-17). Results:1) The cognitive dysfunction was seen in 24 patients with thyroid disorders(24.49%). The total scores of the MoCA-K tests in thyroid patients with cognitive dysfunction(18.42±3.75) were significantly(p<0.001) lower than those of controls(26.43±2.01). Their subtest scores of the MoCA-K such as visuospatial/executive, naming, attention, language, abstraction, delayed recall were also lower than those of controls. 2) The thyroid patients with MoCA-K ≤22 showed higher age and onset age of thyroid disorders, and had lower education and HDL-cholesterol(p<0.001 respectively). 3) Total scores of the MoCA-K tests in patients with thyroid disorders had positive correlation with education(ρ=0.583, p<0.01), and had negative correlation with age(ρ=-0.462, p<0.01) and onset age of thyroid disorders(ρ= -0.494, p<0.01). Otherwise, triiodothyronine and HDL-cholesterol had positive correlation, and sex and triglyceride had negative correlation with some subtest scores of the MoCA-K. Conclusions:The cognitive dysfunction accompanied in about 1/4 of patients with thyroid disorders. The finding that the cognitive function in thyroid disorders seemed to be mainly associated with age and onset age of thyroid disorders, suggested a possibility of an important role of aging mechanism.
