Using a Consensus Qualitative Research approach, this study aimed to identify the ageism and explore age-integration as a solution of age discrimination that occurs during the delivery of medical services by nine healthcare professionals who have experience in treating elderly patients. There were two-sided confession has shown by health care professionals about the Ageism. They reported that they don't discriminate by age. However, They also appealed an inconvenience due to the elderly. There were real Ageism in the Healthcare Professional site as a way of Unsuitable care, elderly alienation and dependence on caregivers, polarization of medical service and double discrimination against poor elderly. They found it difficult to offer age integrated health care as a means to mitigate or solve. However they have sought to break barriers to communication, provided a comfortable environment not only for senior citizens but also for all others, and have diversified institutional and service standards. To ensure the healthy life and proper medical service of the rapidly increasing elderly patients, we proposed to do critical review of the factors in the Korean medical system that accelerate the Ageism, reorganization of the health care system for the poor elderly, including the curriculum associated with age-integrating within the health care professional education system, raising the Geriatric Medical Service and the relating professionals and improvements in perception of the health care domains for the elderly and older adults.

Objectives: This study was aimed to analyze the trends of cancer incidence and evaluate the quality control of cancer registration data in Jeollabuk-do from 2001 to 2010. Methods: Incidence data of all cancers and indices of quality of cancer registration data in Jeollabuk-do for the 10-year period were obtained from the Population-based Regional Cancer Registry in the Jeonbuk Regional Cancer Center. Trends in crude incidence rate (CR) and age-standardized incidence rate (ASR) for all cancers and incidence rates for major cancer sites by gender were analyzed. Joinpoint regression tool was used to describe and quantify trends. And the completeness and validity of cancer registration data were analyzed. Results: The major cancer sites in males were the stomach (22.2%), lung (16.6%), colorectum (12.8%), liver (12.3%) and prostate (6.2%), and in females were the thyroid (17.8%), stomach (14.7%), breast (11.6%), colorectum (11.5%) and lung (7.7%). Between 2001 to 2010, ASR for all cancers increased 13.7% in men, 68% in women, and 36.5% overall. ASR for all cancers increased by 1.2% per year in males and by 6.7% per year in females from 2001 to 2010. In the quality control of the cancer registration data between 2001 and 2010, death certificate only (DCO%) for men was decreased from 5.6% to 1.3% and DCO% for women decreased from 6.1% to 1.8%. Microscopic verification (MV%) increased in both men and women. And mortality/incidence ratio (MI%) declined in both men and women. Conclusions: The cancer incidence during the 10 years (2001-2010) in Jeollabuk-do was increasing especially for the colorectum and prostate in men, and for the thyroid and breast in women. The overall quality control of the cancer registry was gradually improving.

This study was performed to determine the levels of physical function (ADL, IADL) and to reveal its association with the related factors in the elderly people. The study subjects were 1,756 (male 872, female 884) people aged over 70 who received medical check-ups and long-term care services between 2009 and 2012 from the National Health Insurance Corporation. As a result, the distribution of impaired ADL and IADL increased significantly with age. Logistic regression showed that the risk ratio of impaired ADL was increased significantly in the following groups: female, urban, low weight, stroke history group, smoking, alcohol drinking, and not regular exercise group. The risk ratio of an impaired IADL were increased significantly in the group of females, low weight, smoking, alcohol drinking. On the other hand the risk ratio of an impaired ADL and IADL was similar in each age group. As above results, the levels of ADL and IADL in the study subjects are closely related to the socio-demographic characteristics and health related behaviors. In particular, they suggested that the levels of ADL and IADL were lower in the poor group of the health-related behaviors, such as smoking, alcohol drinking, and regular exercise.

The objectives of this study were to examine the changes of birth weight and relationship of birth weight with maternal age and parity. The study population included 13,634 single live births out of 14,346 births delivered at a general hospital in Busan between January 1, 1977 and December 31, 1956. Data were obtained from the delivery record. In 1979 the mean birth weight of male was 3,074 gm and that of female was 2,985 gm. In 1986 birth weight of male was increased to 3,266 gm and that of female to 3,210 gm. Low birth weight ($\leq$2,500 gm) incidence rate was 7.2% in 1977 and it was increased gradually to 10.4% in 1980 but decreased thereafter to 6.5% in 1986. Incidence rate of overweight infant (4,001 gm $\leq$) was 3.9% for 10 years and it ranged from 2.9% to 4.6% but no particular changing pattern was observed. The percentage of mothers who had history of induced abortion was decreased from 51.6% in 1979 to 45.1% in 1986. Also, stillbirth rate was decreased from 2.6% in 1977 to 1.5% in 1986. The proportion of the first and second births was increased from 55.4% in 1977 to 96.0% in 1986 and the proportion of mothers of 25-34 years increased from 72.1% in 1977 to 84.7% in 1986. The incidence rates of low birth weight and over weight infant are lower in the first and second births of 25-34 years old mothers than other parities and age groups. Increased mean birth weight and decreased low birht weight incidence rate indicate that the health status of newborn infants has been improved and substantial portion of these changes can be attributed to increase in family planning practice rate and delayed marriage. There is no evidence, however, for increasing incidence rate of overweight infant.

The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of altruism and social trust on giving behavior for COVID-19 among citizens and the differences by gender and age. To this end, this study conducted analyses with a sample of 2,006 regular citizens from the Giving Korea 2020 survey constructed by the Beautiful Foundation. The main analysed results are as follows. First, citizens' altruism and social trust significantly positively influenced giving behavior for COVID-19. Specifically, when altruism increased by one level, the likelihood of giving participation increased about 3.00 times and the likelihood of giving intention increased about 3.60 times. Second, the influences of citizens' altruism and social trust on giving behavior for COVID-19 were moderated by gender and age. Whereas the influence of altruism on giving participation was more pronounced for women, the influence of altruism on giving intention was more pronounced for young citizens. Also, the influence of social trust on giving intention was more pronounced for young citizens. Based on the results, this study discussed strategies for citizens' giving behavior to overcome a disaster like COVID-19.

It has been well known that there is a close relationship between health and depression among older adults. Under the purpose to mitigate and prevent the risk of depression caused by poor health, the changes in subjective health status'effects on depression depending on the level of age-friendly public service resources, and age were respectively examined in this study. Moderating effects analysis was conducted using 492 adults aged 55 years and over from '2017 age integration survey' data which had been collected nation-widely. Major findings are as follows. The inadequate subjective health status raises the level of depression. This tendency is weakened when the better age-friendly public service resources are presented. In contrast, age has no statistically significant effects on the relationship between two variables. As a result of reviewing the specific conditions to bring out the interaction effects, frail subjective health status increased depression of all age groups as the level of age-friendly public service resources is low. Particularly, for the participants aged average(age 66.6) and older, the negative effects of subjective health status on depression are likely to be lowered by the improvement in poor age-friendly public service resources. That is, the buffer effects of age-friendly public service resources are proved. Based on theses findings, several suggestions for health promotion and depression prevention of older adults were discussed.

A cross-sectional analysis of blood pressure (BP) changes and the current prevalence and distribution of hypertension among age groups in Korea were conducted. Systolic (SBP), diastolic (DBP), and pulse (PP) pressures were evaluated. Residents visiting a local Community Health Center for a health check-up and/or participating in the Health Promotion Program were included for the analyses. A total of 6,570 subjects (2,809 men, 3,761 women) were divided into five age groups: 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, and $70\leq$ years. Comparisons were made between sex and among age groups. SBP and DBP were continuously elevated, while men showed higher levels than women until their mid-60s; then, the trend was reversed. DBP in men became elevated from their 30s, reaching the highest in the 40s then slowly decreasing. DBP in women increased up to their 40s and 50s, then reached a plateau. PP increased rapidly from the 50s in both sexes. The major contributor of age-related BP elevation may be large artery stiffness in men, particularly from their 50s, while the blood pressure elevation of women may relate to diverse factors including large artery stiffness, stroke volume, and ventricular ejection rate. The rapid elevation of PP after the 50s in both men and women could represent a risk of cardiovascular or coronary mortality, particularly with increasing age. The current data showed a higher rate of hypertension in both sexes compared to previous reports. When those with both high-normal BP and hypertension are looked at in combination, BP management of the target population should be drastically elevated.

Today's orthodontic treatment goals lie in functional esthetics, and the importance of the latter is increasing gradually in trend. Considering such, study on growth and development of soft as well as hard tissues becomes inevitable. Early studies emphasize mainly on skeletal analysis using cephalometric data. However, more recent studies report that maxillofacial soft tissue, which plays a critical role in determining facial esthetics, is influenced by underlying hard tissue, and yet close relationship between them was not noticed. Cephalometric x-rays were taken of 137 Korean boys and 106 girls with no systemic disease, fair developmental status and normal occlusion for two consecutive years; afterwards, soft tissue analysis, which was divided into four parts, facial form lip position & posture, nose, and thickness, was done to correlate them with general growth.

서론: 최근 음주가 사회적 문제로 더욱 심각하게 인식되고 있는 가운데 우리나라의 음주 소비량은 점점 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 또한 빠른 사회경제적 변화는 새로운 도덕과 가치의 변화를 가져왔으며 알코올 소비량의 증가와 관계가 있다.(양정남, 1998) 특히 결혼 및 배우자 유무는 음주에 중요한 관련 요인이라는 주장이 있음에도(김태수 등, 2003) 실증적인 연구는 미흡한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구는 결혼 후 배우자 유무와 음주 형태의 관련성을 파악하고 음주 관련 교육 자료로 활용하고자 한다. 연구방법: 연구 대상자는 2005년 국민건강영양조사에서 40대 이상의 남녀 중 결혼 경험이 있는 14,970명 중 음주행태에 관한 설문에 응답한 3,190명이었으며, 결혼 후 배우자의 유무에 따른 고위험 음주 경험 및 다빈도 음주, 음주자제빈도, 고위험음주빈도와의 관련성을 통계 분석하였다. 연구결과: 결혼 후 배우자 유무에 따른 음주 행태의 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 연구대상자의 일반적 특성은 남자 1,678명(52.6%)이며, 여자 1,512명(47.4%)였다. 연령별로는 65세 미만 2,359명(73.9%), 65세 이상 831명(26.1%)이었다. 결혼상태는 유배우 2,621명(82.2%), 사별 344명(10.8%), 이혼 및 별거 225명(7.1%)이었다. 고위험 음주경험은 한달에 한번 미만 1,883명(59.0%), 한달에 한번 정도 379명(11.9%), 일주일에 한번 이상 928명(29.1%)으로 한달에 한번 미만 고위험 음주를 경험한다가 가장 많았으며, 일주일에 한번이상. 일주일에 한번정도 순으로 고위험 음주를 한다고 응답하였다. 월평균 음주 횟 수에 있어서는 5회 이하 1,149명(36.0), 6회-10회 395명(12.4%), 11회이상 593명(27.7%)이었다. 고위험 음주 경험을 종속변수로 한 로지스틱 회귀분석에서 여자보다 남자가 고위험 음주 경험을 많아 하며, 연령이 증가하면 고위험 음주음 경험이 낮아지며, 교육수준이 높아지면 고위험 음주 경험은 낮아지는 것으로 나타났다. 음주자제 경험 종속변수로 한 로지스틱 회귀분석에서 여자보다 남자가 음주자제 경험을 많아 하며, 연령이 증가하면 음주자제 경험이 낮아지며, 교육수준이 높아지면 음주자제 경험은 낮아지는 것으로 나타났다. 다빈도 음주 경험 종속변수로 한 로지스틱 회귀분석에서 여자보다 남자가 다빈도음주 경험을 많아 하며, 연령이 증가하면 다빈도 음주 경험 높아지며, 가구 평균 소득이 증가 하거나, 교육수준이 높아지면 다빈도 음주 경험은 낮아지는 것으로 나타났다. 논의 및 결론: 결혼 후 배우자 유무와 고위험 음주는 남녀를 합친 전체와 남자에게서 통계적으로 유의하였으며, 음주자제빈도에서는 남녀를 합친 전체에서 통계적으로 유의하였다. 또한 다빈도 음주에서 여자에게서 통계적으로 유의하였다. 이러한 결과는 절주사업 기초자료로 활용될 수 있는 가능성을 확인하였으며, 추가적인 연구의 필요성을 시사하였다.
