To study the ametropia and the sort of glasses, especially progressive multifocal lens, for near purpose on Middle aged & Manhood. 500 adults were tested by the object and subject methods. Among the 500 adults, myopia is 22.4%, hyperopia is 61.4%, and emmetropia is 16.2%, respectively. In test of astigmatism, the amount of astigmatism for the age of forty one to under forty five with-the rule is 28%, the amount of astigmatism against-the rule is 43% and the amount of astigmatism with oblique is 11%, respectively. Whereas, the amount of astigmatism for the age of fifty six to under sixty with-the rule is 10%, the amount of astigmatism against-the rule is 71% and the amount of astigmatism with oblique is 19%, respectively. With-the-rule decreased with increasing age while against-the-rule increased with increasing age. The oblique astigmatism relationship to age could not be determined. The ratio of the progressive multifocal lens was 67.3% for male and 35% for female.

Suicidal ideation has received much attention from both practitioners and researchers as Korean society becomes aging and individualistic. However, previous researches on the suicide ideation have focused on young generations instead of adults who seem to be more suffered from economic pressure and all kinds of exterior environments causing depression. Besides, there were research voids in the suicidal ideation area where depression was never taken into consideration. In this sense, we attempted to launch empirical studies on analyzing explanatory factors relevant to suicidal ideation in all the age groups by using KNHANES dataset from 2008~2012 years. Especially, we further analyzed KNHANES dataset to know how much depression affects suicidal ideation. Empirical results showed that depression is in a significant relationship with the suicidal ideation in all the demographic dimensions such as age, education, living area, etc.

우리나라 하천의 중류나 상류는 대부분 산지로 되어 있어서 하천경사가 급하고 하상재료가 크며 지질 및 지형적인 영향을 받아 구속사행이 발달 되어 있는 산지하천이다. 산지하천은 홍수 시 만곡수충부 외측에서 홍수위 상승에 따른 범람과 유속 및 소류력에 의한 하상세굴이 발생한다. 특히 강원도는 산지하천을 따라서 도로가 발달되어 있기 때문에 하천피해는 도로피해와 직결되는 경우가 많다. 산지하천 수충부의 홍수피해를 줄이기 위해서는 호우에 따른 하천의 홍수위 및 하상 변동에 대한 자료가 필요하나 산지하천 특성을 고려한 관련 연구가 미흡한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 산지하천 발달특성을 평가하기 위한 기초연구로서 유역의 면적-고도곡선을 평가하고자 한다. 산지하천은 하상을 구성하는 재료가 모래에서부터 전석에 이르기까지 그 크기가 매우 다양하게 분포되어 있어 일반 모래와 자갈이 주를 이루는 평지하천과 현저히 다르다. 하천유역의 면적-고도곡선은 유역의 지질 발달상을 판단하거나 홍수효과 또는 지형의 침식과 퇴적 등을 분석하는데 유효한 방법이다. 강원도 영동지역과 영서지역을 발원지로 하는 하천의 면적과 고도관계를 조사하였으며 이를 위하여 영서지역은 제1차 하천인 한강과 그 주요 지류 21개 하천, 영동지역은 제1차 하천 6개와 그 지류 3개 하천을 선정하고 무차원 면적-고도곡선을 작성하여 유역의 발달단계를 분석하기 위한 면적고도 발달계수를 정의하였다. 골지천을 제외한 모든 조사대상 하천에서 최대표고의 70%이상인 지역이 전체 유역면적의 10%미만을 차지하여 우리나라 하천유역이 상류의 경우 전형적인 장년기에서 노년기 지형으로 발달한 것으로 확인할 수 있었다. 그러나 유역의 하류지역은 이미 유년기적인 특성을 보이고 있는 것으로 판단된다. 또한 영동 보다는 영서지역 하천이 하류에서 유년기적 특성이 다소 크고 상류는 장년기가 많은 것으로 분석되었다.

I obtained result like these to practice accommodation test using Spherical Add method and Cross cylinder lens method. The 242 eyes(121 persons) in test was the young and middle age people and their age was from 19 to 41. 1. Using Spherical Add, I tested accommodation. The twenties's limits of accommodation were 9~13 Diopter, and thirties to fourties's limits of accommodation were 6~8.5 Diopter. 2. Using Cross cylinder lens in the test of accommodation twenties's average accommodation limits were appeared 6.13 Diopter~10.13 Diopter, thirties average accommodation limits were 5.75 Diopter~8.75 Diopter and fourties's average accommodation limits were 4.38 Diopter~7.25 Diopter. All men women have had more good accommodation of the horizontal direction than the vertical direction. 3. Using Spherical Add method and Cross cylinder lens method, the results of accommodation were shown like these. Accommodation that measured with spherical add method was more big than cross cylinder's accommodation measuring method. Finally I found the fact accommodation decreases as age goes.

Sasang medicine is our country's unique traditional medicine based on the classification of individual physical constitution. In the Sasang medicine, what is considered the most important task is to categorize Sasang constitution exactly. Therefore, security of objective elements and diagnosis index is a problem awaiting solution in Sasang constitution classification. To this the paper abstracted result value from objectification, visualization, a fixed quantity of Sasang constitution to analyze face image signals and voice signals. And, comparing the differences constitution would like to develop system classification of Sasang constitution. Specially, image and voice signals are different because of gender, age, region so it composed Sasang constitution group to 40-50 years women in Seoul. To extract of these image and voice signals wanted to perform comparison, analysis in constitution. Finally, it would like to prove a significance of research result through experiment.

This paper analyzes the characteristics of population change and makes the population projection in the mountainous area of Korea. Mountainous areas are defined as local towns (eup or myeon) with forest area more than 70 percent of land area, population density less than 111 people per square kilometer, and plowland area less than 21 percent of land area. The population in mountainous areas has decreased dramatically, while the ageing index has increased over the past two decades. To make the population projection, the cohort-change ratios method is applied. The results revealed that a multitude of young people aged 10 to 39 moved to cities to find education and job chance and some people aged 40 and over moved to mountainous areas as the trends of urban-to-rural migration. This continuing trend will culminate in 680 thousand people in population and 1,035 of ageing index in 2030, which will lead to the unequal land development and inefficient forest management. Thus, policy makers need to develop stimulus plans to revitalize and stabilize the economy of mountainous areas.

The gait characteristics and shapes of human foot are changed by their diseases and habits. Especially, it is known that the size and shape of foot of the elderly(aged) differ from these of youth foot, because of muscle degeneration and wearing footwear for a long time. Therefore, to design and make last for the elder footwear, anthropometric data measured elder feet and classified their foot type will be necessary. Nevertheless, elder footwear has been designed and made by using the same last of the youth. Therefore, to design elder footwear, we measured 49 anthropometric data on foot of the 252 elderly males and females, and classified their foot shape and type according to FI(foot index) and MPA(matarars-phalanx angle) in this study. The results showed that the elderly has a tendency of slenderizing on foot compare to the youth, and elderly females have more deformed foot type than elderly males. The results can be provided as basic information to the design of elder footwear.

In this study we find that relatively high minimum wages should make the employment ratios of youth, old, and woman lower very significantly in those regions concerned, futhermore, make the overall employment ratios of those regions lower also by using a proxy variable, the Regional Minimum Wages-Half Median Wages Ratio which represents well the very stable differential structure of wage distributions among regions in Korea. In large Cities those effects become much stronger. But we find also that those effects on the rates of regional unemployment are somewhat double-faced except the case of youth because of the probable generating of many discouraged unemployed among the old and women. So, we can conclude that because of the differential regional economic situations it is not sustainable to increase the overall minimum wages uniformly and excessively and strongly necessary to explore ways toward introducing the proper system of regional minimum wages.

Objective : This study explores whether and how the amount of smoking differs by economic status and perception among the men in working age. Methods : The study utilized the 4th wave of KoWEPS containing the items on perception of economic conditions. Analysis was conducted on ever-married men aged 30-54, who have capacity to work. It used 2 stage regression model methods to examine the mediation effect of perception on economic status. Results : The results shows that the negative perception on economic status has a positive effect on smoking. Disposable income affects smoking only through the perception of economic status. Employment status exerts both direct and indirect effect on smoking. Conclusions : These findings imply that less privileged economic status is related to smoking through anxiety or stress for the negative perception on it.
