Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the health factors of the elderly according to the region by analyzing the physical fitness and fall efficacy of the female elderly living in rural and urban areas. The subjects of this study consisted of 98 female elderly people living in rural and urban areas who exercise health and cheerleading at least twice a week at the regional center(REG; n=46, 77.53±6.37 yrs, 151.81±5.26 cm, 60.00±9.42 kg, UEG; n=53, 73.57±2.70 yrs, 154.07±3.52 cm, 57.37±2.06 kg). Physical strength was measured for muscular endurance, cardiopulmonary endurance, and flexibility. Falling efficacy was measured using 10 items of Fall Efficacy Scale developed by Tinetti et al. Significant differences in flexibility and fall efficacy were found in urban older adults (p<.01, p<.05). There was no significant difference in muscular endurance and cardiac endurance (p>.05). In the future, studies to improve the imbalance of health factors of the elderly in the region should be continuously conducted.

본 연구는 농촌과 도시에 거주하는 노인 여성들의 체력과 낙상효능감에 대해 분석하여 지역에 따른 노인들의 건강요인들을 분석하기 위함이다. 본 연구 대상자는 주 2회 이상 지역 마을회관에서 건강체조와 치어리딩를 하는 농촌 및 도시에 거주하는 노인 여성 98명(REG; n=46, 77.53±6.37 yrs, 151.81±5.26 cm, 60.00±9.42 kg, UEG; n=53, 73.57±2.70 yrs, 154.07±3.52 cm, 57.37±2.06 kg)으로 진행되었다. 체력은 근지구력, 심폐지구력, 유연성을 측정하였으며, 낙상효능감은 Tinetti 등이 개발한 10개 항목의 Fall Efficacy Scale을 사용하였다. 도시 노인들이 유연성과 낙상효능감에서 유의한 차이가 나타났다(p<.01, p<.05). 근지구력과 심페지구력에서는 유의한 차이가 나타나지 않았다(p>.05). 추후 지역의 노인들의 건강요인의 불균형을 개선하기 위한 연구가 지속적으로 이루어져야 할 것이다.
