초록

이 연구의 목적은 한국의 백세인(100세 이상), 팔순인(80~89), 환갑인(60~69)의 3개 집단간의 수명요인의 차이를 규명하고자 시도되었다. 조사대상은 백세인의 109명을 포함하 여 총 한국노인 389명이다. 수명요인은 건강행태와 심리적인 요인을 선정하여 분석하였다. 자료처리는 백세인과 2집단간의 차이를 로지스틱 회귀분석(logistic regression analysis)을 통하여 이루어졌다. 분석결과, 백세인과 팔순인의 여성들은 같은 남성에 비해 음주를 9배정도 억제하는 것으로 조사되었다. 백세인은 팔순인 보다 병원이용률의 경우 11배정도 낮은 것으로 분석되었다 (OR=11.48, CI=5.56, 23.70). 또한 하루에 2회 이상 웃는 백세인은 팔순인 보다 10배, 환갑인보 다 12배 정도 많았다 (OR=11.59, CI=5.04, 26.63). 그밖에 백세인은 환갑인보다 미래에 대한 근심 걱정이 없으며, 오락에도 관심이 없는 것으로 분석되었다 (OR=12.49, CI=6.42, 24.32). 이와 같은 연구결과를 볼 때, 건강행태와 심리적인 반응이 장수요인으로 작용한 것으로 판단된다. 그러므로 노인건강은 절주, 금연, 정신건강을 중심으로 보건교육을 강구해야 할 것으로 사료된다.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate diferences in longevity factors for 3 age groups: centenarians, octogenarians, and sexagenarians.There were 389 elderly Korean subjects who participated in this study. This included 109 centenarians who participated in the 1-wave study that examined the longevity factors using the health behaviors and psychological reactions. The study that examined the longevity factors by using odds ratio of the logistic regresion analysis. The major findings indicate that female centenarians and octogenarians scored the highest in abstinence from alcoholic drinking than males from these same 2 age groups (OR=9.04, CI=4.04, 20.24). Centenarians scored higher in non-visiting hospitals (OR=1.48, CI=5.56, 23.70) and showed little emotion when watching sad scenes, upon comparison with the younger 2 age groups. Also, centenarians scored higher in laughter (OR=11.59, CI=5.04, 26.63), showing no anxiety (OR=12.49, CI=6.42, 24.32), and displaying indiference towards games, when compared with the younger 2 age groups.The findings imply that Korean centenarian leads to a life of longevity is the result not only of psychological reactions but also of health behaviors. Also, these results suport future studies of improvement of longevity factors.
