The survey was conducted among middle-aged people in their fifties, who lived in Seoul, using the systematic random sampling method. The data were collected from November 3, 2003 to November 14, 2003 and the final subjects consisted of 498 respondents.

Individual units of one or two bedrooms were also preferred by future users. Small towns were preferred to large complex.

  • The purpose of this study is to examine whether any correlation exists between the dental health capacity and preferred foods of Korean senior citizens over the age of 65 years. The 5th Korean National Health and Nutrition Survey were used. Tissue health index (T-health), Sound teeth (ST), Functioning teeth index (FS-T), Present teeth (PT), and Missing teeth (MT) were used as variables to assess the dental health capacity of the elderly. Preferred foods of the elderly included 63 foods that were categorized as cereals, pulses and roots, meat and poultry, fish, vegetables, sea algae, fruits, milk and dairy products, cream and sugar, and other foods. For data analysis, the weighted average was taken into consideration to generate planning files, and then complex sample analysis were conducted. For statistical analysis, frequency analysis, t-test, one-way ANOVA, and compound specimen linear regression analysis were conducted. T-health score was significantly high in the group with high preference for cereals, fruits, and other foods. In terms of age and economic status, 65~69 years, 70~74 years, and mid to low range in the income ranges scored high in T-health. ST score was significant in the group that preferred cereals, other foods; the corresponding demographic profiles represent 65~69 years, 70~74 years, and the mid-range income communities. FS-T was significant in relation with a preference for fruits, creams and sugars, other foods; the scores were also high for 65~69 years, 70~74 years, and mid-low to low income groups.

  • 노인들은 연령에 따라 기억력의 저하가 일어나면서 일상생활을 영유하는데 많은 불편함을 겪고 있다. 정해진 시간에 약을 복용하는 것을 기억하거나 가스 불에 물을 끊인 후 끄는 것을 기억하는 것 등 의도한 행위를 실제로 수행하거나, 진행 중인 행위와 미래에 수행하여야 할 행위 등을 기억 (미래기억; prospective memory) 해야 하는 데 부담을 갖는다. 특히 노인은 시간-의존 미래기억(time-based PM)에서 다른 미래기억보다 연령에 따른 낮은 기억 수행을 보였다. (Einstein & McDaniel, 1995) 본 논문은 인터뷰와 설문을 통해 노인의 일상생활의 패턴을 파악하고, 일상생활과 비슷한 상황에서 노인의 시간-의존 미래기억(time-based prospective memory)과 노인의 자율성(autonomy)을 높이기 위한 몇 가지 UI 방식을 알아보고자 하였다. 실험 결과, 노인 실험 참가자는 사건의존 미래기억에서 의도와 연합된 '맥락 단서'를 제시하는 방식을 더 선호하였으며, 시간의존 미래기억 실험에서는 대학생 집단보다 미래기억 수행 시 외부 도구에 대한 강한 의존도를 보였다. 이는 적절한 미래기억 보조도구가 제시된다면 더 높은 수행을 보일 수 있음을 확인하였다.
