Although previous studies have found that social participation activities are related to older people's life satisfaction and health status, the rate of social participation activities among older people is still low. The current study examined the relationship between age identity and social participation activities among older people and the extent to which this relationship differs by gender. Secondary data from the Survey of Living Conditions of Korean Older Persons were used to test the research hypothesis. Hierarchical multiple regression models were tested using a nationally representative sample of 10,451 community-dwelling older persons aged 65 and above. Older people who have older age identity were less likely to involve in social participation activities than those who have younger age identity. However, this relationship was only significant for older women. The findings suggest the need for attention to age identity and gender differences when promoting social participation activities.

자연성 종격동 기종은 젊은 연령에서 주로 직접적인 이유가 없이 발생되는 흔치 않은 질환으로 응급실에서 급성 흉통의 원인으로 감별해야할 질환중의 하나이다. 간혹 응급상황이 발생하여 응급 처치를 받을 수 있다고 하지만 대부분에서 보존적인 치료로 호전이 되는 양호한 질환이기도 하다. 저자들은 15세 남자에게 특별한 유발 요인이 없이 발생하였고 입원치료 없이 응급의료 센터에서 바로 퇴원한 자연성 종격동 기종 1례를 경험하였기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

기존의 게임들이 젊은 연령대가 주를 이뤘다면, 2012년 출시된 '애니팡'은 게임을 부정적으로 바라보던 중장년층까지 흡수하면서 모바일게임의 대중화를 이뤄냈다. 하지만 그 인기가 현재까지 지속되지는 않는다. 그 이유로는 세 가지 정도로 요약되는데, 첫번째는 쉽게 질려 버릴 수 있는 단순한 게임방법이며, 둘째는 지인과의 순위경쟁의 긴장감을 지인이 떠나버리면서 잃어버렸기 때문이다. 마지막으로 세 번째는 게임의 불안정성과 더불어 스팸'하트'메시지의 스트레스이다. 반면에 성공요인으로는 첫 번째는 진입장벽의 용이성, 둘째는 친근감과 현대인들의 생활패턴에 접근 가능한 게임 환경, 셋째는 생활정서에 밀착된 '적절한 긴장감' 이라고 할 수 있다.

Purpose : Hepatitis A viral infections have been continued after re-emerging since mid 1990s in Korea. The incidence of this disease has been increased in young adults younger than 30 years of age since 2000. This study was performed to evaluate the prevalence of antibody to hepatitis A in Korea(two regions; Incheon and Changwon) in 2005, and was compared with the results of similar studies in mid 1990s. Methods : The study was conducted from January 2005 to June 2005, and consisted of 1,301 enrolled subjects, neonates to 50 years old, living in Incheon and Changwon in Korea. All sera were frozen and stored at $-70^{\circ}C$ until assayed. Anti-HAV IgG antibodies were measured by microparticle enzyme immunoassay(HAVAB, Abbott Lab., IL, USA). Results : The prevalence of anti-HAV IgG was 61.1% in infants younger than 1 year old, 30.5% in 1~5 years, 14.6% in 6~10 years, 1.7% in 11~15 years, 6.5% in 16~20 years, 36.6%in 21~30 years, 77.5% in 31~40 years, and 99.8% in 41~50 years. Statistical differences were not found between male and female, but there was statistical difference in 6~10 years old age group between the two areas. Conclusion : Our study indicate that the prevalence of antihepatitis A virus antibody has shifted from children to old adolescents and young adults. This result suggests that the risk of sudden outbreaks or increasing incidence of hepatitis A viral infections in young adults may be expected in our society. The preventive strategies of hepatitis A including vaccination should be prepared.

It is well known that low body mass index and younger age are associated with high breast density. Mammographic dense breast has been reported both as a cause of false-negative findings on mammography and as an indicator of increased breast cancer risk. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association between breast density and body mass index. Furthermore, we considered proper screening method of breast cancer in Korean women. The study was performed on 496 women who underwent health checkup in a university hospital. Age and body mass index were negatively associated with breast density respectively. In postmenopausal women, age and body mass index showed statistically significant association with breast density. Therefore, we should consider sensitive additional method for breast cancer screening especially in younger age and underweight women.

오늘날 휴대폰은 20~30대의 젊은 사용자 층뿐 아니라, 고령사용자 및 아동사용자들로 확대되면서 다양한 사용자층을 포함하게 되었다. 이렇게 사용자층은 다양해지고 있으나, 휴대폰 제조사들은 다양한 사용자 계층의 인지능력과 요구사항을 반영하진 못한 채, 20~30대의 젊은 주 사용자 층을 기준으로 디자인하고 있다. 특히, 하드웨어적인 디자인 측면에서는 다각화가 이루어지고 있는 편이나, 소프트웨어 측면에서의 시도는 거의 미비하다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 다양한 사용자 계층에 따른 유동적 인지능력 및 요구사항, 감성에 맞는 맞춤형 My메뉴(Menu)를 설정할 수 있는 휴대폰 UI 디자인을 제안하고자 한다. 특히, 주 사용자 층과는 다른 사용패턴을 보이는 어린이들을 위한 개인화된 My메뉴를 설정하는 인터랙션 UI 디자인 개발하여 제안하였다. 본 논문은 먼저, 문헌과 사례분석으로 통해 기존 휴대폰 제조사와 서비스 사업자들의 메뉴 개인화를 위한 다양한 시도를 조사하였다. 또한, 어린이들의 사용 패턴과 메뉴의 사용 빈도 등을 파악하기 위하여 사용자 조사 방법을 두가지 방법으로 진행하였다. 우선 2006년 7월말부터 8월 10일까지 2주에 걸쳐, 만 9세~12세의 초등학교 아동사용자 남여 10명을 대상으로 휴대폰 사용의 전반적인 특성과 사용행태을 파악하고, 환경설정 및 주 사용메뉴를 조사하기 위한 심층인터뷰를 시행하였다. 그리고 1차 인터뷰 내용을 바탕으로 설문지를 작성하였다. 이번 설문에서는 주 사용메뉴가 무엇이며 사용빈도는 어느 정도 되는지 선호하는 메뉴형식과 용어의 어려움은 없었는지를 파악했다. 또한 사용자가 자주 사용하는 메뉴를 대기화면에 가져다 놓고 싶은지를 물어 직접적인 휴대폰 대기화면의 사용여부를 파악하였다. 2006년 12월 일주일동안, 1차 인터뷰의 아동사용자와 동일한 연령대의 아동사용자 남여 총46명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하여 더욱 정량화된 데이터를 얻을 수 있었다. 이를 바탕으로 사용자 연령과 성별에 따라 기본 디폴트 My메뉴(Menu)를 제공하는 방법, My메뉴의 항목과 우선순위, 테마를 설정하여 개인화하는 UI 디자인을 도출하였다. 본 연구는 아동사용자를 대상으로 휴대폰의 소프트웨어 UI 중 메뉴를 사용자 맞춤형으로 설정할 수 있는 방법과 인터랙션을 디자인하여 제시하였다. 이러한 소프트웨어적인 UI 개인화 시도는 다양한 사용자 계층의 요구사항을 반영하는 보다 효율적인 방법으로써 사용자 만족과 사용성을 높이는 효과를 가져올 수 있을 것이다.

The purpose of this study was to examine relationships between chronic diseases, age, and education in Korea. Logistic regression techniques were used to analyze data from the Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing (KLoSA), which is a nationally representative sample of Koreans aged 45 years and older. The findings show that probability of having chronic diseases increased with age up to about 74; however, it was reduced for respondents aged 74 years or older. Associations between age and chronic diseases were also differential by education. Less educated Koreans tended to have chronic diseases earlier in their lifetime; however, they were likely to have chronic diseases later in life less than more educated counterparts. The findings suggest that individuals with fewer years of education are at an increased risk of developing chronic diseases earlier in their lifetimes, thereby, leading to a higher rate of mortality at younger ages.

Background : Spirometry should be compared with the normal predictive values obtained from the same population using the same procedures, because different ethnicity and different procedures are known to influence the spirometry results. This study was performed to obtain the normal predictive values of the Forced Vital Capacity(FVC), Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second($FEV_1$), Forced Expiratory Volume in 6 Seconds($FEV_6$), and $FEV_1/FVC$ for a representative Korean population. Methods : Based on the 2000 Population Census of the National Statistical Office of Korea, stratified random sampling was carried out to obtain representative samples of the Korean population. This study was performed as a part of the National Health and Nutrition Survey of Korea in 2001. The lung function was measured using the standardized methods and protocols recommended by the American Thoracic Society. Among those 4,816 subjects who had performed spirometry performed, there was a total of 1,212 nonsmokers (206 males and 1,006 females) with no significant history of respiratory diseases and symptoms, with clear chest X-rays, and with no significant exposure to respiratory hazards subjects. Their residence and age distribution was representative of the whole nation. Mixed effect models were examined based on the Akaike's information criteria in statistical analysis, and those variables common to both genders were analyzed by regression analysis to obtain the final equations. Results : The variables affecting the normal predicted values of the FVC and $FEV_6$ for males and females were $age^2$, height, and weight. The variables affecting the normal predicted values of the $FEV_1$ for males and females were $age^2$, and height. The variables affecting the normal predicted values of the $FEV_1/FVC$ for male and female were age and height. Conclusion : The predicted values of the FVC and $FEV_1$ was higher in this study than in other Korean or foreign studies, even though the difference was < 10%. When compared with those predicted values for Caucasian populations, the study results were actually comparable or higher, which might be due to the stricter criteria of the normal population and the systemic quality controls applied to the whole study procedures together with the rapid physical growth of the younger generations in Korea.

The electronic commerce environment allows customers to search for information and purchase products and services via direct contact with internet markets. Purchasing through the internet is not a real experience of purchasing, but is based on some pictures, information and advertisements of products. To improve E-commerce environment in Iran, purchasing behavior of Iranian young adults in the internet shopping mall is analyzed in this study. The factors which influence the motivation of internet shopping and the selection of internet shopping mall is investigated, and statistical tests were applied between these factors and other variables such as gender, job, age and education. The results of the tests showed that there is a gender difference on one of the shopping mall selection factor (i.e., abundant information about products); also there is a gender difference on the one of the shopping motivation factor (i.e., possibility of comparing products). Besides, there is a job difference (student or non-student) on the factor of 'Purchase frequency per month'. Other facts are also found that Iranian consumers are not sure about a product's quality, so they refuse to buy products such as foods, clothes and other products. Additionally, they are dissatisfied about the safety of internet shopping malls.
