Also the eating behavior and life habits were determined tv using questionnaire method. The results were as follows: Body fat rate of the children was almost normal according to Rohrer index and BMI. There was significant difference in birth weight between male and female. The problems of the eating behavior were frequent skipping breakfast and eating-out. The rate of the children who took snacks 2 times a day was 46.9％. Most children tended to take sweet snacks such as ice-cream, chocolates, cookies, and they tended to prefer meats and fishes to vegetables. The rate of breast feeding was 28.3％ and the rate of weaning foods prepared at home was 61.1%. Many children preferred indoor activities such as watching TV, toy furniture play, building block to outdoor activities such as roller-skating, cycling, jogging in their spare time. The rate of the children who took exercise regularly was 15％. Children tended to eat kimbap, fried chicken, ramyeon more frequently in various instant foods. The intake rates of fruit juice and barly tea were relatively high and children's favorite fruits were watermelon and mandarin orange. From this results, skipping breakfast, frequent eating-out and the monotony of food preference appears to cause imbalance in nutrient intakes of the children and to have bad influence on children’s health. Accodgingiy, the comprehensive nutrition education and proper modification program should be needed for the children and their parents to correct the eating behavior and life habits.

최근 특수직역연금 가입자도 기초연금을 적용받고자 하는 요구가 증가되고 있다. 기초연금제도 시행부터 특수직역연금 가입자는 원천적으로 기초연금에 대한 법 적용이 배제되어 왔었다. 빈곤상태에 있는 65세 이상의 노인층을 특수직역연금 수급권자에 해당한다는 이유로 기초연금 대상자에서 제외하는 것은 노인의 생활을 지원하고 복지를 증진시킨다는 기초연금법의 도입 목적을 온전히 실현하지 못하는 측면이 있다. 그러므로 모든 공적연금 수급자를 대상으로 실제 소득이 기초연금 기준액보다 미달할 경우에는 기초연금을 받을 수 있도록 제도적인 개선이 마련되어야 할 것이다. 저소득의 특수직역연금 수령자들에게 보다 안정된 노후 보장을 지원하는 방안이 마련되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 특수직역연금 가입자 중에서 사학연금 가입자를 대상으로 기초연금 선택적용에 대한 타당성 여부를 살펴보고자 하였다. 공무원연금과는 달리 사학연금 가입자 중에서 일부 유치원 교사나 간호사 직군의 경우에는 소득이 그다지 높지 않는 경우가 있다. 이러한 계층은 기초연금 적용을 고려해볼 필요가 있다. 특히, 유족연금 수급자의 경우에는 기초연금 선택적용을 적극적으로 고려해보는 정책적 검토가 필요하다고 본다. 본 연구는 다음과 같이 주장하고자 한다. 첫째, 사학연금 수령자 중에서 실제로 저소득자인 경우에는 기초연금을 적용하는 법안을 마련하여야 한다. 둘째, 해외에서의 기초연금 적용은 모든 가입자를 대상으로 적용하고 있다. 해외 사례와 같이 전 국민을 대상으로 모든 공적연금 가입자에게 기초연금 적용을 고려하여야 한다. 셋째, 유족연금 수급자 중에서 기초연금 지급액보다 낮은 연금액을 수령하는 자에게는 유족연금보다는 기초연금을 수령할 수 있는 방안을 모색해 보아야 한다. 넷째, 기초연금의 재원은 조세로 이루어지는 것으로서 국민연금 수급자와의 형평성을 고려하여 특수직역연금 가입자의 경우에도 기초연금을 적용하여 기본적 소득의 충족과 동시에 노후소득 보장을 더욱 강화할 필요가 있다. 본 연구는 사학연금 가입자를 대상으로 기초연금 선택적용에 대한 대한 기초자료를 제공하고자 하였다. 이와 같은 기초연금제도 적용은 우리나라의 사학연금 수급자의 노후소득 보장을 한층 강화하는 측면에서 긍정적이며, 기초연금 선택적용에 대한 타당성과 도입방안 등을 살펴보았다는 점에서 의의가 있다.

This study is on the kindergarten uniforms in Changwon, south Gyeongsang province. The first part of this research is on whether or not students should wear uniforms and how often they should wear uniforms. The research also deals with what types of uniforms are required, how much they should cost and their size. Fifty one preschools including kindergarten and nursery were targeted for this research. The second part of the research is on the discrepancy of the labeled size and the actual size of the child. The results of the first part are as follows: A total of 46 out of 51 places adopted uniforms for their children. Sports wear style is the most popular for spring, fall and summer uniforms. For wearing frequency of kindergarten uniforms, 26 (61%) places allowed the students to wear uniforms for special events such as picnics or observation trips 17(34%) places had the students wear their uniforms on a daily basis and 2 3 times only wearing a week.'rho preschool children interviewed for this study were from 2 to 5 in lull age. However, sizes with high frequency rates were 9 to 11 and the supplied sizes of uniforms were from 5 to 17. The results of the second part are as follows: The bust girth and the shoulder width of upper garments of uniforms are bigger than children's physical size, while clothes length and sleeve length are relatively shorter. Also the bust girth of upper garments of uniforms differs in the size depending on each preschool. The waist girth and the total length of lower garments of uniforms are made smaller than children's physical sizes, while hip girth is relatively larger. In the case of lower garments, the rest parts of cloth length are smaller than upper garments of uniforms. Also, the waist girth and hip width of uniforms are smaller than those of lower garments In summer garments, while thigh width is similar in both cases. The waist width is made too small. Described in the above excluding the waist width, the rest parts are relatively larger than children's physical sizes, but shorter in the length. Due to the length, children at age 7 may wear uniforms in the level of 17. Since summer uniforms touch the students' bare skin, the rest parts excluding clothes length are shorter than these of the spring and fall uniforms. In the case of clothes length, it seems to be due to different designs. The waist width of lower garments in all the uniforms tested in this study is too small for children, requiring them to be made in a larger size.
