The purpose of this study was to examine the mediating effect of depression in relation to the subjective health status and quality of life of middle-aged and elderly in rural areas. Subjective health status, depression and quality of life of 235 residents over 40 years of age in A county were collected and analyzed with t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's Correlation, and Multiple Regression, and verified with Sobel test. Depression had a mediating effect in relation to the subjective health status and quality of life of the residents. In conclusion, subjective health conditions and depression are important factors that determine the quality of life of middle-aged and elderly residents in rural areas. Various programs for improving subjective health of the residents and relieving their depression are needed to improve the quality of life of middle-aged and elderly in rural areas.

젖소는 건강하고 편안한 상태에서는 그 능력을 최대로 발휘한다. 건강한 젖소는 좋은 번식상태를 유지하며 많은 양의 우유를 생산하기 위해 적당한 양의 사료를 먹을 것이다. 그러므로 목장주는 축군의 전반적인 건강상태를 세밀히 관찰하여야 한다. 젖소의 건강을 유지하는데 가장 강조되어야 할 사항은 건강한 다리와 발굽의 사용이다. 발굽이 건강해야 정상적으로 사료를 섭취하고 발정징후도 보이므로 번식과 밀접한 관계가 있는 중요한 사항이다. 그러므로 예방적 발굽관리가

The purpose of this study was to identify health literacy among elderly and to investigate the relationships between healthy literacy and health status. A cross-sectional study was conducted with a sample of 158 participants between July and December 2019. The linguistic and functional health literacy (using the KHLAT and NVS) and self-rated physical and mental health were assessed. Above third of elderly have difficulties reading and understanding linguistic and functional health literacy. There were significant differences in health literacy according to residence, spouse, living together, educational level, occupation, monthly income, and number of diagnosed disease. Linguistic and functional health literacy and self-rated physical and mental health are closely related. Sociodemographic and disease related factors such as residence, educational level, monthly income, and multi-morbidity need to be considered when developing educational programs to improve health literacy. It could be possible to promote health status by improving the health literacy through individualized convergent educational program.

The aim of this study was to examine whether health promoting behavior was dependent on perceived health status and health attitude in adults, and whether health concern mediated the relationships among these variables. Structural equation modeling was applied to test a model in which perceived health status and health attitude were considered as exogenous variables while health concern as a mediating variable. The participants were 292 adults aged from 20 to 59 and completed the self-report measures. The results of the structural equation model showed that perceived health status and health attitude were positively associated with health concern and health promoting behavior. Health concern mediated the relationships between perceived health status and health promoting behavior, and also health attitude and health promoting behavior. The findings suggest that enhancing health attitude may play important roles to promote health promoting behavior in adults, and the development of various health education for adults in schools, work place, and health and medical organization might promote positive health attitude and health concern. Health education program in connection with preventive health examination also might contribute to activate health promoting behavior.

The purpose of this study was to examine association between oral health status and perceived general health symptom. We analyzed 14,231 subjects who participated in Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2007~2009). All individuals were examined by a questionnaire about socioeconomic history, smoking and drinking habit, the frequency of daily tooth brushing, the presence of regular dental visit, and EuroQol-5D. Dental survey was conducted to find the decayed, missing, and filled teeth (DMFT) index and community periodontal index. Subjects with perceived problem with mobility had higher DMFT index (odds ratio, 1.18, p<0.001). Subjects with with perceived problem with pain/discomfort had higher DMFT index (odds ratio, 1.16, p<0.001). Self-rating general health symptom was not associated with periodontitis (p>0.05). Perceived general health was associated with DMFT index. It is recommendable that we can use the perceived general health to predict oral health status.

창원지역 산업장 근로자의 생활습관과 건강증진의 관련성을 분석하고자 창원에 위치하는 중공업 근로자 1,374명을 대상으로 1993년 7월 7일-7월 17일까지 10일간 자기기입식 설문조사를 이용하여 조사한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 연령이 20세 미만이며 근무년수가 2년 미만인 근로자의 건강상태는 연령이 30세 이상이며 근무년수가 긴 근로자에 비하여 양호하지 못하였으며 이 차이는 통계학적으로 유의하였다(p<0.05). 2. 건강과 관련된 생활습관을 4~5가지 또는 6~7가지 실천하고 있는 근로자의 건강상태는 건강과 관련된 좋은 생활습관을 3가지 이하로 실천하고 있는 근로자에 비하여 양호하였고 이 차이는 통계학적으로 유의하였다(p<0.01). 3. 단계별회귀분석 결과에 의하면 건강상태는 좋은 생활습관을 더 많이 형성할수록, 연령이 높을수록, 근무년수가 길수록 건강상태가 양호하였으며 이들 변수도 근로자의 건강상태를 21.11% 설명할 수 있다($R^2$=21.11).

This study analyzes differences of self-rated health status between Korea and three European countries. Self-rated health status is highly correlated with objective health status such as chronic diseases and ADL(Activities of Daily Living)/IADL(Instrumental Activities of Daily Living), but it is also influenced by individual attitude or belief about health. Therefore, differences of self-rated health status among countries are determined by the combination of (1) differences of objective health status and (2) socio-cultural characteristics affecting individuals' attitude and belief. Using 'Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing(KLoSA 2006)' and 'Survey of Health, Ageing, and Retirement in Europe (SHARE 2004)', we found that Korean older people are more likely to feel negatively on their health status than their European counterpart. The findings are explained in two different ways. First, how strongly the objective health status affects on the subjective health status varies among countries. Korean older people with chronic diseases are more likely to evaluate their health status negatively because of the diseases than their European counterparts do. Second, after controlling the effects of the objective health condition, the subjective health status of Korean older people is still lower than that of the European elderly.

The subject were 443 elderly hemodialysis patients(over 65 years old) in Seoul and Gyeonggi province. The Health-related quality of life scale was used in this research, in which were analysed a wide range of statistical descriptive analysis, Pearson's correlation, reliability analysis, multiple regression and the Scheffe test. The results were as follows. The HRQL were statiscally significant difference by Gender, Educational level, Live with spouse, Best supporter, and Number of Disease. Also the factor related to transition of health condition was Number of Disease. The transition of health condition accounted for 13.9% of variance in HRQL and Number of Disease accounted for an additional 7.4% of HRQL. The factors, which influenced finally on the HRQL in the elderly hemodialysis patients, were transition of health condition and number of disease. In conclusion adequate hemodialysis treatment and social services should be provided in accordance with the factors affecting HRQL in order to improve the HRQL for elderly hemodialysis patients.

건강이란 신체적, 정신적, 사회적으로 완전히 양호한 상태에 있는 것을 뜻하며, 단순히 병이 없다든지 허약하지 않은 것을 말하는 것이 아니다. 다시 말해, 건강이라 함은 삶의 질에 공헌하는 최적의 안녕(well-being)을 의미하며, 질병이나 고통으로부터 자유로운 것을 말한다. 질병이나 고통으로부터 자유로운 것은 좋은 건강을 유지하고 향상시키는데 있어서 매우 중요하다. 최적의 건강은(optimal health) 높은 수준의 정신적, 사회적, 감정적 및 육체적인 상태를 의미하며, 각 개인의 유전적이거나 장애적인 상태도 포함한다. 건강한 생활을 하기 위한 조건으로 규칙적인 생활과 충분한 휴식, 적당한 운동, 적당한 영양, 쾌적한 환경이 중요하다.

This is a convergence study to investigate the factors affecting the physical health status of college students and to present a strategy for effective program development. The participants of this study were 200 college students in a region and collected data by self-reported questionnaire. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, correlation analysis and stepwise multiple regression analysis. The results were as follows: 1) The physical-health status of the college students was positively correlated with the subjective perception of health status(${\beta}=-.323$, p<.01), health awareness(${\beta}=-.278$, p<.01), gender(${\beta}=-.197$, p<.01), and breakfast habit(${\beta}=-.192$, p<.01). And the explanatory power($R_2$) by 4 variables was 33.1%. As a result, it was confirmed that strengthening subjective perception, positive reinforcement of health awareness, and habit of breakfast were important for improvement of physical health status. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a health promotion program based on the factors influencing on the physical health status and to analyze its application effect.
