Introduction: Disc and spinal diseases degrade the quality of life of humans due to induction of chronic pain and increase with the aging of the domestic population. The purposes of this study are to examine risk factors associated with disc disease based on demographic information, anthropometric information, and biochemical indicators and to analyze gender differences in risk factors of disc disease.
Methods: Based on data from the Third Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES Ⅲ), binary logistic regression and chi square t-test were used to analyze the association between disc disease and variables.
Results: As a result of the analysis, the common risk factors in both men and women were age, apartment availability, education level, occupation, and arthritis diagnosis. Risk factors in men were alcohol, alanine aminotransferase, glucose, triglyceride, and white blood cells. The risk factors that appeared only in women were urban status, housing type, marital status, osteoporosis diagnosis, stress, depression, systolic blood pressure, and menstrual/pregnancy indicators.
Conclusion: We revealed that risk factors of disc disease may differ between men and women. These results are expected to be utilized for the prevention and treatment of disc-related diseases in the future.
