This study aims to explore health behavior profiles and the association between the derived profiles and living arrangement among middle-aged and older adults. Using data from wave 6 (2016) of the Korean Longitudinal Study of Aging, latent profile analyses were applied to identify patterns of health behaviors and multinomial logistic regression models were conducted to predict profile membership using living arrangement (i.e., living alone, living with spouse only, living with family members) and sociodemographic characteristics. A sample of 7,048 respondents aged 55 and older were included in the study. Results revealed that Korean middle-aged and older adults can be grouped into four health behavior profiles: "High health-compromising" (4%), "Moderate health-compromising" (28%), "Low health-compromising" (65%), and "High physical activity" (3%). Also, living arrangement showed significant profile differences. Compared to the respondents living alone, those living with spouse only were more likely to belong to low and moderate levels of health-compromising behavior profiles than the "High physicial activity profile". Respondents living with family members were more likely to belong to the "High health-compromising profile" than the "High physical activity profile" compared to those living with spouse only. These findings indicate that living arrangement needs to be taken into consideration when developing health promoting programs and supports. Moreover, policy interventions suiting the needs of various sociodemographic subgroups are recommended.

In this study we conducted a questionnaire survey by purposive quota sampling(n=566) by status of workers(permanent workers, temporary workers and business owners) and age group(20-59 years old) for single households engaged in economic activities in order to compare the health behaviors and health checking by employment type and age. By employment type, the sleep time of permanent workers was significantly less than that of other groups(p<0.001), and the rates of health and oral examinations in permanent workers were significantly higher(p<0.001). By age group, as the age increased, the oral condition was worse(p<0.001), but the rates of not taking oral examinations were significantly higher(p=0.023). This study can be meaningful as basic data for making a healthy living environment according to various characteristics of single households.

This study aims to examine the screening rate of health screening of the disabled by screening the data of disability and health statistics of the National Health Insurance Corporation, to suggest the problems of health examination and the future improvement measures, and also to review the type of health management of the disabled based on the results of health examination interview. As people with limited daily life or social life for a long time because of their physical/psychological disabilities in accordance with the Article2 of , out of 2,479,080 registered people with disabilities on the basis of December 31st 2015, the research subjects were limited to people with disabilities who participated in the health screening and health type for presenting the opinions about policies. In conclusion, regarding the health screening for the disabled, first, it would be necessary to collect the opinions from people with disabilities in order to prepare the health screening service suitable for them. Second, it would be needed to develop the health screening items for each type of disability and severity. Third, it would be necessary to consider the medical equipments and amenities of health examination for the disabled. Fourth, there should be the securement of manpower and education for service providers. Fifth, the mobility right of the disabled should be secured. Regarding the health type of the disabled, first, the expert consultative group in each area should be composed for the health enhancement of the disabled. Second, it would be necessary to screening the current status of health enhancement programs for the disabled and operating facilities. Third, the Central Health Medical Center for the Disabled, shown in the law on the securement of health rights & medical accessibility of the disabled should develop the standardized health enhancement programs for each disability type and severity. After examining the contents of health examination and health type of the disabled, the opinions about policies were suggested. Thus, in the future, there should be more detailed researches based on the tasks suggested by this study, and also the causal relations between health of the disabled and relevant programs should be continuously revealed.

Employment form and gender as stratification factors may generate health disparities in Korea. Previous studies have examined the existence of health disparities by employment form and gender. However, few studies examined how the health disparities can be reduced effectively. This study intends to confirm the existence of health disparities between employment-gender groups and explore the effective health resources which can reduce the possible disparities. Using a national probability sample of Korean adults collected in 2011, we attempts to test the interaction effects between employment-gender groups and health resources on self-rated health. For health resources, 24 variables of five dimensions(social relationship, psychological resource, activity factor, health behavior, and usage of medical service) are taken into account. In results, first, the health levels of the other three employment-gender groups are worse than that of male-regular workers. Second, the effective health resources which can reduce the health disparities are different across the employment-gender groups. An effective health resource for female-nonregular workers is a peaceful relationship with her children. Effective health resources for male-nonregular workers are peaceful relationships with his parents and siblings, low stress, religious activity, and exercise. An effective health resource for female-regular workers is interpersonal trust. These results imply that personal or social interventions for health of specific disadvantaged groups need to focus on specific resources which are more effective for the groups.

몸은 우리에게 시시때때로 건강 신호를 보낸다. 피로감이나 근육 떨림, 충혈, 두통 등 그 형태도 무척 다양하다. 위장 또한 예외가 아니다. 그중에서도 가장 솔직하고도 원초적인 것은 몸에서 풍기는 다양한 냄새들이다. 몸에서 나는 냄새의 정체를 정확히 알면 걱정은 덜고 건강관리는 쉬워진다.

최근 Wellness 산업이 발전되면서 Wellness 분야의 다양한 서비스 형태에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 기존의 Wellness 서비스는 디바이스에 한정되어 서비스를 제공하기 때문에 제한적인 문제점이 있다. 보다 다양한 형태의 서비스를 제공하기 위해서 디바이스에 한정된 서비스를 자동차 환경에 적용하여 제공하는 자동차 Wellness에 대한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 자동차 내의 Wellness 서비스는 운전자 건강관리, 사고예방과 같은 서비스와 질 높은 콘텐츠를 제공한다. 본 논문에서는 자동차 내의 운전자 건강상태 최적화를 위한 지능형 Wellness 서비스를 제안한다. 이 서비스를 통해 운전자의 건강상태를 최적화하여 사고 예방에 도움이 된다. 또한 지능형 Wellness 서비스 연구동향 및 다양한 형태의 Wellness 서비스의 향후 발전 방향에 대해 고찰한다.

현대사회의 소비자는 극도의 편리성을 추구하는 경향이 있다. 식품업계에서는 이를 충족시키기 위하여 다양한 형태의 인스턴트 식품을 개발하고 있으며, 이에 따라 식품의 포장용기도 매우 다양해지고, 일회용 식품포장용기의 사용도 급증하고 있다. 일회용 식품포장용기는 그 재질에 따라서 유해물질이 용출되거나 갖가지 형태로 소비자의 건강을 위협하고 있다.(중략)

경제발전에 따른 국민생활수준의 향상은 국민의 건강에 대한 관심을 고조시키고 있다. 생활의 변화에 따라 질병의 형태 역시 현격한 차이를 나타내고 있다. 즉 60년대에 문제가 되었던 질병이 전염성질환이었다면 오늘에 와서는 비전염성만성 퇴행성 질환 소위 성인병이 문제시되고 있다.
