We analyzed the characteristics and risk factors of colorectal polyps in asymptomatic adults in Jeju Island. Methods: Data on 1700 individuals who underwent a screening colonoscopy from 1 July, 2010 to 30 June, 2012 were analyzed based on age, gender, body mass index (BMI), blood pressure, blood tests, and behavioral habits including alcohol use, smoking, and exercise. Results: The prevalence of colorectal polyps, including adenomatous and hyperplastic, is 43.1% and is higher in males (P<0.001). The prevalence according to age group shows increasing by age (P for trend<0.001). The most common histologic type of polyp is adenomatous in the <50 years and >50 years age groups, 27.3% and 45.3% respectively. And the percentage of adenomatous polyps has shown an increasing trend along with increasing number and size of polyps (P for trend<0.001). BMI, waist circumference (WC), fasting blood sugar, and triglyceride were higher in males with polyps than males in the control group. BMI and WC were higher and HDL-cholesterol was lower in females with polyps. The incidence of colorectal polyps was higher in male and female smokers (P<0.001 and P=0.035 respectively). Conclusions: Our results showed that older age, male gender, obesity, and smoking are risk factors for colorectal polyps. The prevalence of colorectal adenomatous polyps is 27.3% in <50 yrs, 33.4% in the 40s. For early detection and treatment, we recommend a screening colonoscopy for those with risk factors.

142 Korean J Health Promot Vol. 14, No. 4, 2014 비만, 신체활동, 가족력, 식이습관, 유전적요인등이제시되고있으며, 대장암의 75% 에서는유전질환, 가족력, 염증성장질환등이동반되지않는것으로보고되었다. 6,10-16) 여러연구들에서연령증가와대장선종및대장암발생의연관성은잘알려져있으며, 최근 50대미만의성인에서용종및선종발생이증가하고있어 50대미만의무증상성인에서조기검진의필요성을뒷받침하는결과가보고되었다. 17) 이러한병변의조기발견및제거는대장암의 2차예방으로서중요하며, 이들의위험요인을집중관리하여대장용종의발생을막는 1차예방이더욱중요한점이라할수있다. 10) 기존연구의경우질환자를대상으로하거나소규모연구가많아본연구에서는무증상성인을대상으로한대규모연구를통해제주지역을대표할수있는건강한성인에서대장용종의연령별유병률및임상적특징, 위험요인등에대해알아보고자하였다. 1. 연구대상자 방 법 2010년 7월 1일부터 2012년 6월 30일까지 2년간제주지역한대학병원건강증진센터를방문하여대장내시경검사를시행받은만 20세이상의성인중에서과거용종이발견되어추적관찰을위해대장내시경을시행한경우, 선종이발견되어내시경적제거시술을받은과거력이있거나, 대장암으로인해대장절제수술을받은경우를제외한 1,700명 ( 남자 1,067명, 여자 633명 ) 의수검자를대상으로대장용종에대한분석을시행하였다. 2. 연구방법 모든대상자에서자가기입식설문지와의사의면담을통해과거와현재병력, 복용중인약물, 음주, 흡연과운동을포함한생활습관을조사하였다. 음주는주 3회이상평균음주여부를기준으로비음주군과음주군으로설정하였고, 현재흡연여부에따라비흡연군과흡연군으로분류하였으며, 하루에 30분이상주 3회이상의규칙적운동여부에따라운동군과비운동군으로분류하였다. 신체검사는모든대상자가가벼운검진가운만착용한상태에서신장, 체중을측정한후체질량지수 (body mass index) 는체중 (kg) 을신장 (m) 의제곱으로나누어계산하였고, 허리둘레는숨을내쉰뒤장골능과 12번째늑골사이의둘레를측정하였다. 수축기및이완기혈압은자동혈 압측정계 FT-700R (JAWON MEDICAL Co. Ltd., Seoul, Korea) 을이용하였다. 검사실검사는 8시간이상공복상태로정맥혈을채혈하여공복혈당, 총콜레스테롤, 중성지방, 고밀도콜레스테롤을측정하였다. 3. 대장내시경검사및병리조직검사모든수검자는검사전일저녁은유동식만먹도록한후검사전일밤과검사새벽장정결제를 2 L씩나누어복용하도록하였고, 항문에서부터말단회장까지전대장내시경검사를시행하였으며, 발견된모든용종은내시경겸자를사용하여조직검사를시행하였다. 4. 통계분석연구군의일반적특성은연속형변수를성별에따라연령을보정한공분산분석 (analysis of covariance) 을이용하여분석하였고, 연령별용종분포경향을알아보기위해선형대선형결합 (linear by linear association), 위험요인의비교위험도는다변량로지스틱회귀분석 (multiple logistic regression analysis) 을이용하였다. 자료의분석에사용한프로그램은 SPSS for windows (version 18.0, SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA) 를이용하였고, 통계적유의수준은 0.05 미만으로하였다. 결과 1. 연구대상자의일반적특성 1,700명의수검자중에서남성은 1,067명 (62.8%), 여성은 633명 (37.2%) 이었고, 선종이나증식성용종이확인된대장용종의유병률은 43.1% 였으며, 남성은 50.9%, 여성은 29.9% 로남성에서대장용종의유병률이높았다. 남녀모두용종군에서체질량지수, 허리둘레가높았으며, 남성은용종군에서공복혈당과중성지방이높고, 여성의경우용종군에서고밀도콜레스테롤은낮게나타났다 (Table 1). 2. 대장용종과선종의연령별분포증식성용종과선종을포함군용종군의평균연령은 50.98± 10.15세, 비용종군의평균연령은 46.28±10.12세였으며, 20대부터 70세이후까지의연령별대장용종및선종분포를살펴본결과연령이증가할수록유병률이증가하는경향

Yeoun Ja Na, et al. Risk Factors of Colorectal Polyps in Jeju Island 145 세분화하였을때 30대가전체유병률의 28.3%, 40대는 41.0% 를차지하고있었고, 이들용종의대부분은선종으로확인되었는데이는건강에대한관심이높아지면서 30-40대젊은연령층에서도검진목적으로대장내시경을많이시행하였고그로인해조기진단이가능해졌다고평가할수있는부분이다. 본연구는일개대학병원에서시행된단면연구로서대표성이떨어지고, 실제수검자들이제주지역에거주하는지에대해정확한파악을하지못했다는점에있어서지역특이성을입증할수없다는한계를가지고있으나비교적대규모연구이며제주도전지역에걸쳐수진자가분포하여제주지역을대표할수있는연구로서의미가있다. 또한질환자나증상이있어검사를한경우가아닌무증상성인을대상으로한연구로서건강한성인에서의대장용종의유병률및위험인자에대해전반적으로파악해볼수있었다. 일부연구들에서대장용종의위험요인에대한분석에서는남성, 흡연만이의미있게나타났거나, 17) 신체활동증가가용종위험을줄인다는보고 14) 등이있었으나이러한위험요인들과대장용종의상관성을분석한많은연구들에서와마찬가지로본연구에서도일관성있는결과를보여주지는못하였다. 하지만 2012년소화기학회의대장암선별및대장용종진단검사가이드라인에서는평균위험군에서대장암및대장용종진단검사는 50세부터시작할것을권고하고있으나 4) 본연구의결과에비추어 50대미만의무증상성인에서라도비만, 흡연을비롯한위험요인들을가지고있는경우라면조기대장내시경검사를시행하는것이권장할만하다고생각된다. 향후각지역의대학병원, 건강관리협회및여러기관들에서시행된연구데이터를모아지역별대장용종유병률, 위험요인분석을통합한다면범국가적이고지역특이적인결과및새로운가이드라인을도출해낼수있을것으로생각된다. 요약 연구배경 : 대장선종은대장암의전구병변으로서식생활의서구화및운동부족, 음주및흡연등의위험요인증가로최근 30-40대젊은연령에서도용종및선종발생증가가보고되어왔다. 본연구는제주지역무증상성인에서대장용종의임상적특징및위험요인에대해알아보고자하였다. 방법 : 2010년 7월 1일부터 2012년 6월 30일까지 2년간제주지역한대학병원건강증진센터를방문하여대장내시경검사를시행받은만 20세이상의성인중에서과거용종이발견되어추적관찰을위해대장내시경을시행하거나, 내시경적제거술을받은과거력또는대장암으로인해 대장절제수술을받은경우를제외한 1,700명의수검자를대상으로대장용종에대한분석을시행하였다. 결과 : 1,700명의수검자중에서선종이나증식성용종이확인된대장용종의유병률은 43.1% 였으며, 남자는 50.9%, 여자는 29.9% 로남자에서높았으며연령이증가할수록유병률이높게나타났다. 용종군에서체질량지수허리둘레가통계적으로의미있게높았으며, 남자의경우용종군에서공복혈당과중성지방이높고, 여자의경우용종군에서고밀도콜레스테롤은낮았다. 다변량분석에서는연령, 비만, 흡연이남녀모두통계적으로대장용종의의미있는위험요인으로나타났다. 대장용종의조직학적특징을분석한결과선종이 50대미만과 50대이상모두에서각각 27.3%, 45.3% 로높은분포를차지하였고, 용종의개수가많을수록, 크기가클수록선종이증가하는결과를보였다. 결론 : 본연구의결과제주지역의무증상성인중 50세미만에서도대장선종의유병률이 27.3% 에해당하였고, 특히 40대의경우선종이 33.4% 로높게나타났다. 용종의위험요인으로는연령, 남성, 비만, 흡연이통계적으로의미있게나타나 50대미만의무증상성인에서도이러한위험요인을가지고있는경우선택적으로조기대장내시경검사를고려해보는것이좋겠다. 중심단어 : 대장용종, 유병률, 위험인자 REFERENCES 1.
