It should be 걱정거리 to fit the context. 적정거리 doesn't exist.
걱정거리 is made up of 걱정(worry) and 거리(things), to mean something that worries you.
거리 is a dependent noun with a loose meaning of things or source material, work to be done, collection of something, etc. It creates common phrases by combining with other nouns.
For example,
- 일거리 = work to do.
- 얘깃거리 = things/subjects to talk about; gossip material.
- 걱정거리, 근심거리, 고민거리 = things that worry you; a concern or worry.
- 저녁거리 = stuff to cook for dinner.
- 국거리 = ingredients for soup.
- 소일거리 = things for pastime.
- 논쟁거리 = point/subject of contention.
