The purpose of this study was to investigate intake status and recognition of health functional foods by pre- and post-menopausal women in Seoul and Gyeonggi province. Survey questions were administered to 400 women around menopausal period, and data analysis was completed using the SPSS window program. Thirty-three percent of women recognized that they are healthy, and 47.1% of respondents are concerned with maintaining their health. However, respondents showed a low level of knowledge about the definition of menopause and health functional foods. Health concerns of respondents were significantly affected by marital status and level of education (P<0.05). Purchasing and intake of health functional foods was also significantly affected by health concerns and menopause symptoms (P<0.05). Twenty-nine percent of participants had taken health functional foods to prevent disease. However, most of them (85.9%) showed no knowledge of the main components of functional foods. In addition, knowledge associated with menopause and functional foods was affected by the level of education. The respondents' health concern, and thus purchase and intake frequencies of health functional foods, were affected by level of education. 'Effect of functional foods' was a top priority when respondents purchased health functional foods. The respondents answered black bean and pomegranate as foods that relieve menopause symptoms. However, they actually showed high intake frequency of black beans than pomegranate due to the high accessibility of black beans. The results of this study show that educational support for dietary guidelines is needed for middle-aged woman to be healthy after menopause.

This study was conducted to analyze the mediating effect of health status and the moderating effect of economic activity in the relationship between depression and cognitive function of the elderly. For this, the data of 2017 National survey of Older Koreans that was collected all over country by Korea Institute for Health and Social Affairs were analyzed using Structural Equation Model for statistical analysis method. The results are as follows. First, the elderly's depression was found to have a negative effect on cognitive function and health status. Second, the health status of the elderly was found to have a positive effect on cognitive function. Third, a significant mediating effect of health status was founded in the relationship between depression and cognitive function. Fourth, the moderating effect of the elderly's economic activity was found in the path through which depression affects health status and health status affects cognitive function. Based on these research results, implications of social welfare were suggested.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine whether the dietary quality of food consumed by the elderly is influenced by the consumption of healthy functional foods using Nutrition Quotients for the Elderly (NQ-E). Methods: The study subjects were 250 adults aged ≥ 65 living in Seoul or Gyeonggi-do. Those who had consumed healthy functional food for more than 2 weeks within the previous year were classified as healthy functional food consumers, and the quality of their meals was evaluated using the NQ-E. Statistical analysis was performed using SAS 9.4, and sex and age-associated differences were adjusted before comparing differences based on healthy functional food intake. Results: The average age of the study subjects was 70.8. The scores for each area and the Nutrition Quotient (NQ) score were as follows: balance 43.3 points, moderation 56.7 points, practice 65.7 points, and NQ 52.5 points. When comparing differences according to healthy functional food intake status, healthy functional food consumers had significantly higher balance and NQ scores than non-consumers. When considering each NQ item score, healthy functional food consumers had significantly higher scores than non-consumers for fruit, fish and seafood, eggs, nuts, and whole grain rice, and a higher score for effort to maintain a healthy diet. Conclusion: Dietary quality as assessed by Nutrition Quotients for the Elderly was better for healthy functional food consumers than non-consumers.

국민 소득수준의 향상은 복지사회를 이룩하기 위한 기본요건이지만 상대적으로 경제개발 및 근대화 과정에서 야기되는 사회문제나 건강생활에 저해되는 요인의 발생방지 대책이 결여된다면 이는 결코 이상적인 발전일 수 없을 것이다. 사회보장제도에서의 가장 중요한 기능이 물론 경제적 조건의 개선이지만 건강조건의 개선 역시 이에 못지 않게 중요한 기능의 하나인 것이다.

보건 간호 사업은 독특하고 중요한 공헌을 하는 보건 간호원이 그 기관의 조직체 내에서 조화되어야 한다. 보건 간호원의 기능은 교육 정도와 경험에 의해서 선정된다. 어떤 보건 간호원은 다른 보건 간호원들이 보건 기관에서 관리자나 감독 혹은 강사 자격으로 일할 때 평 직원으로 기능할 수도 있다. 보건사업을 실시함에 있어서는 좋은 건강을 통하여, 보다 나은 생활수준을 향상시키기 위하여 팀으로서 목표 달성을 위하여, 계획을 세우고 그 발전과정을 평가함에는 계획서가 필요하다. 제한된 인원으로서 중요한 건강사업을 실행해야 되는 보건 간호원은 조직된 집단과 같이 일해야 된다. 당면한 보건 간호원의 기능 중 중요한 것은 환자의 건강 지도 및 훈련과 행정이 포함되고 있다.

예비실험 중 한국의 울릉도에 자생하고 취나물로 이용되고 있는 섬쑥부쟁이(Aster glehni Franchet et Sckmidt, Compositae)가 페놀성 화합물 함량이 높고 peroxynitrite 소거효과가 높았기 때문에 이를 이용한 추출물의 제조를 통한 건강기능식품을 창출하고자 하였다. 건강식품을 위한 추출물 제조를 위하여 물과 에탄올만을 이용하여 페놀성 화합물 고함유 추출물의 제조가 가능하고 높은 peroxynitrite 소거효과를 나타내는 추출물을 결정하고자 하였다. 즉, 추출용매로 Water-EtOH 비율을 조절하여 추출하여 추출물의 함량, HPLC를 이용한 caffeoylquinic acid(CQ) 화합물의 함량분석 및 peroxynitrite 소거효과를 비교하였다. Water-EtOH (7:3)으로 추출한 섬쑥부쟁이 추출물은 CQ 함량이 높고, 높은 peroxynitrite 소거효과, 항경련효과, 진정효과 및 항비만효과 등이 나타났다. 건강기능식품을 위한 추출물 제조시 한국에서는 물과 에탄올만이 허용되기 때문에 CQ 함량이 높은 추출물의 제조가 가능하고 높은 peroxynitrite 소거효과를 유지할 수 있는가에 관한 실험 이외에 마우스에서 선택된 추출물의 진정효과 및 항경련효과 실험을 수행하였다. 진정효과와 항경련효과를 위하여 마우스에서 각각 pentobarbital로 유도한 수면연장효과와 PTZ로 유도한 경련에 대한 효과를 측정하여 유의성있는 활성이 확인되었으므로 이 추출물을 이용한 건강기능식품으로의 이용이 가능하다고 생각된다.

Elderly consumers of these days have economic power because of economic growth and live longer because of medical science development. Therefore, they have become very important customers to companies. However, if companies want to understand elderly consumers and induce them to spend money, empirical studies should have done first of all. So, this study examines the relationship between psychological characteristics of elderly consumers and purchase intention of health functional food. The results are: First, three psychological characteristics of elderly consumer are statistically significant to purchase intention of health functional food. 'Innovation-Achievement' and 'Elderly-Awareness' are positively significant to purchase intention of health functional food. Second, 'Trend-Convenience' and 'Elderly-Awareness' are more statistically significant to purchase intention of health functional food. Third, 'Trend-Convenience' is negatively significant to purchase intention of health functional food.
