우리나라 급식서비스프로그램에서는 도시저소득층 재가노인을 대상으로 사회복지관등을 통하여 몇 개의 지정된 장소에서 1일 1끼니(점심정도)의 집단급식서비스(congregate site service)를 제공하고 있다. 도시저소득층노인들의 경우 영양소 섭취상태가 매우 저조한 것으로 나타나 이러한 급식서비스는 노인들의 영양상태에 많은 영향을 끼칠 것으로 생각된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 서울 수서지역에 거주하는 노인 273명(남: 61명, 여: 212명)중 적어도 최근 1년 동안 일주일에 5회 이상의 식사에 참여한 군을 급식춘(N=137)으로 하고 나머지를 비급식군(N=136)으로 하여 영양상태를 비교하였다. 급식군은 비급식군에 비해 독거노인의 비율이 유의하게 높았으며 교육수준이 낮고 식품비 사용액수가 적었다. 24시간 회상법으로 조사한 결과 급식군은 비급식군에 비해 동물성단백질(p < 0.001), 동물성지방(p < 0.01), 동물성칼슘(p <0.01), 동물성 철분(P <0.001), 아연(p <0.01), 비타민B$_2$ (p < 0.001), 비타민B$_{6}$ (p < 0.01), 콜레스테롤(p <0.001)섭취량이 유의하게 많은 것으로 나타났으며 MAR도 유의하게 높았으나(P <0.01) 급식, 비급식군의 MAR이 각각 0.59, 0.53으로 모두 식사의 질이 낮았다. 급식군은 점심 급식을 통하여 하루 총섭취량 중 에너지는 39.7%, 당질33.7%, 단백질 43.8%, 지방 52.0%, 칼슘 35.2%, 철분은 36.9%, 비타민E 55.7%를 섭취하고 있어 하루 총섭취량의 33-56%를 급식에 의존하고 있었다. 반면에 비급식군은 하루 총섭취량 중 18-31%의 영양소를 점심으로 섭취하고 있어 대조를 보였다. 급식군은 비급식군에 비해 키가 유의하게 작은 것(p<0.001)외에는 다른 신체 계측치에서는 유의차가 없었다. 급식군은 혈중 철분지표 중에서 유의하게 낮은 MCH(P < 0.05)와 유의하게 높은 TIBC를 보였으나(p <0.05) hemoglobin 수치에 의한 빈혈비율(여 < 12.0d/㎗, 남 < 13.5g/㎗)은 급식, 비급식군 각각 20.2%, 23.8%로서 유의한 차이가 없었으며 12문항을 사용하여 조사한 우울점수에서도 군 간의 유의한 차이가 없었다. 이상으로 보아 급식군은 비급식군에 비해 사회 경제적 수준이 낮으나 점심급식을 통하여 하루 필요영양소의 1/3-1/2를 섭취함으로써 비급식군에 비해 영양소섭취량이 높거나 비슷한 섭취량을 유지하고 있었으며 신체계측치와 빈혈비율 등에서 급식군에 비해 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 그러나 급식과 비급식군 모두에서 MAR이 낮아 아직도 대부분의 섭취영양소가 권장량의 75%미만으로 나타나 저소득층노인에게서 급식의 확대와 함께 급식의 질을 좀 더 높일 수 있도록 정부와 자치단체에서 의 각별한 관심과 지원이 절실히 필요하다고 생각된다.

Using data from Korean Longitudinal Study on Aging (KLoSA), this study examines how continuity and change of marital status is associated with health over time among older women, focusing on the moderating effects of age and parent-child relationships. KLoSA data set has two waves of interviews, and for this study, 2046 women aged 65 and over were selected. To analyze data, Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was used. The major findings are as follows. First, there was no statistically significant difference in health between continuously married older women and continuously single older women. However, older women who had transition from being married to being single showed lower physical health than continuously married and continuously single older women. Second, there were statistically significant differences in the effect of marital status on mental health according to the age of older women. Older women who had transition from being married to being single showed lower mental health than continuously married elders when older women were younger. Third, contact with children moderated the effect of marital status on physical health. Older women who had transition from being married to being single showed lower physical health than continuously single and continuously married older women when older women had less contact with their children. The findings imply after the loss of marital role, older women's relationship with adult children plays a significant role in promoting health. In conclusion, the findings of this study show the different pathways through which marital status is associated with health for 3 different groups of older women, being continuously single, being continuously married, and making transition from being married to being single.

우리 나라도 최근들어 소득수준 향상, 건강의식의 고조, 평균수명의 연장등으로 고령화 사회의 진전추세가 가속화되고 있다. 한국보건사회연구원(1987)의 조사에 의 하면 국내 인구의 고령화 속도는 급속히 빨라져 65세 이상 노인 인구의 비가 전체 인구의 5.5%를 차지하고 있으며, 2,000년에는 노인이 전체인구의 7%, 2,025년에는 14%에 달할 것이라고 하며, 이 속도는 프랑스 보다 4.6배, 미국에 비해서는 3배나 빠르다 한다. 인구 구성비에서 65세 이상의 노인 인구가 7%를 넘는 사회를 고령화 사회, 14%를 넘으면 고령사회로 정의를 하고 있는 유엔의 규정을 감안한다면 우리 나라도 앞으로 수년내에 본격 고령화 사회로 접어들게 될 것이다. 본 연구에서는 인간의 행동이 머리의 판단과 수족의 동작으로 이루어 지므로 동작 및 판단속도의 연령대별, 성별 수행성취도 차이를 비교분석하여 그 특성을 고찰하고 그 결과로 고령 자의 고용에 필요한 근로능력의 평가, 고령자의 근로적응을 위한 직무나 작업장의 설계, 더 나아가서는 노인의 복지향상을 위한 복지시설의 설계시 이용할 수 있는 기초자료를 제공하고자 한다.

The purpose of this study was to identify health behaviors of elderly with osteoarthritis across gender groups. Total of 1,654 age 65 over from the fifth Korean National health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) were selected. The data analysis was performed using the complex sampling function of SPSS version 20. Logistic regression analysis shows the difference of risk factors of osteoarthritis between men and women elderly people. Prevalence of osteoarthritis in men elderly was associated with drinking, education for osteoarthritis, and treatment of osteoarthritis whereas the factors in woman elderly were depression and muscle strengthen exercise. Most of the subjects had not the opportunity of education of the management of the osteoarthritis. These findings from the study are expected to promote the screening strategy for the aged at risk of osteoarthritis in the Korean community and enhance the effect of the nursing intervention for the elderly with osteoarthritis.

In Korea, the population size of the elderly is rapidly increasing, and housing for them is emerging as an important issue. In particular, Aging in Place (AIP) has steadily been presented as a direction of welfare for the elderly. This study empirically examines the effect of the interactions of the elderly with their children on residential mobility for older Koreans. To do so, this study employed random effect logistic regression models with the dataset of the 2008-2020 Korean Longitudinal Study of Aging. The findings are as follows. First, it was found that the interaction with their children increased the probability of residential mobility for older Koreans in both metropolitan areas and non-metropolitan areas. Second, as age increased, the interaction with their children tended to further promote residential mobility for older Koreans, but such effects varied depending on related variables. Third, it was confirmed that the possibility of further promoting residential mobility for older Koreans increased through the interaction effects of the variables associated with the interaction with their children. This study suggests policy implications for the residential mobility of older Koreans, i.e., whether the interactions with their children improve independent residential environments by enhancing housing stability, in terms of AIP.

This study was performed to assess the nutritional status of the elderly residing in a silver town. A survey was conducted in April, 2005 for fifty two healthy persons (men 18, women 34) aged over 65 years living in a private silver town of Busan Metropolitan City, Korea. General data were collected using questionnaires at homes of the subjects and food consumption data for 3 days were obtained by investigating the individual leftovers from the meals served at the foodservice facilities by well-trained graduate students of the Department of Food & Nutrition. Nutrient intake was calculated from food consumption data using Can Pro (version 3.0, Korea). Average daily intake of energy was 1077.6 kcal in men and 974.2 kcal in women. Average protein intake of the men and women amounted to 85.5 g and 67.7 g, respectively. The consumption of cereals contributed 45.3% of energy intake for all subjects. Only 1.1% of calcium intake was from milk and milk products. Almost 100% of the elderly did not reach 75% of estimated energy requirement (EER) in energy intake and 75% of estimated average requirement (EAR) in folic acid intake. Percentages of the subjects who consumed protein above 125% of EAR were 100% and 91% in men and women, respectively. All subjects consumed above EAR in dietary intake of protein and iron. These data suggest that nutrient intake of the elderly living in the silver town would be inadequate, and thus the efficient management of foodservice is necessary to improve the nutritional status of the elderly living in the silver town.

The purpose of this study is to find out the use and inconvenience of informatization devices according to the disability of the elderly. A total 10,097 data from the elderly survey were used to analyze the differences in the possession and use of information devices, usage capabilities, and injustice according to disability. Descriptive analysis was conducted to find out general characteristics and disability-related characteristics. chi-square tests were conducted to find out the difference in informatization and communication device usage ability and information device usage inconvenience according to disability. The p-value was set at 0.001. As a result of the study, the elderly with disabilities in Korea had lower smartphones and tablet PCs than the non-disabled elderly. In terms of daily inconvenience, the elderly with disabilities often responded that they had no experience or did not know about the inconvenience of online reservations for trains/high-speed buses/intercity buses, ordering kiosks at restaurants, using ATMs, or reducing bank stores. Taken together, the ability of the elderly with disabilities in Korea to possess and use informatization devices is very low and they feel more inconvenience than the non-disabled elderly. It is necessary to improve the ability to possess and use informatization devices for the elderly with disabilities in the rapidly progressing aging of the disabled and the informatization of our society.
