본 연구는 여러 요인에 의해 성인병 유발이 많아지는 중년기 여성을 대상으로 정기적으로 에어로빅 운동을 수행하는 자와 좌식 생활자의 영양섭취실태, 특히 지방산 섭취실태를 조사연구 하였다. 조사대상자는 서울 근교 도시에 거주하는 평균 42.0$\pm$4.7세의 중년 여성 57명이다. 이들은 모두 폐경전 여성으로 에어로빅을 수행하는 자(A group) 44명, 좌식생활자(S group) 13명이다. 에어로빅 운동수행자는 주당 4일 이상 1일 1시간 정도의 에어로빅 운동을 6개월 이상 지속한 자이며 운동강도는 VO$_2$ max. 60% 정도로 실시되었다. 식이섭취 조사방법은 24시간 회상법을 이용하여 2일간 섭취한 식품을 조사하여 기록하였으며 섭취영양량은 컴퓨터프로그램 CANPro(한국영양학회, 영양재단)를 이용하여 1일 평균 섭취량을 산출하였고 식이콜레스테롤과 지방산의 1일 섭취량은 식품성분표(농촌진흥청)를 이용하여 산출하였다.(중략)

The purpose of this study was to identify the relationships between sleep time and depression and suicidal ideation in middle aged women. The subjects of this study were 1,617 women aged 40-64 years who participated in the Seventh Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES VII-2), 2017. Data were downloaded from the KNHANES website and were analysed through complex sampling design data analysis using IBM SPSS 21.0 program. Suicidal ideation is 3.65 times higher in women who sleeps for five hours or less in weekend than in women who sleeps more than seven hours and less than nine hours in weekend. These result indicate that suicide prevention program for middle aged women should include strategies for maintaining proper sleep times and women who sleeps for five hours or less should be considered as a priority intervention case. In additions, further studies on the relationship between sleep times and depression of middle aged women should be conducted.

Number of middle-aged women participated in the survey were 118. Data were collected by means of self reported questionnaires from June 1 to 30. and analyzed by using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe's test, Pearson's correlation coefficients and multiple regression with SPSS windows version 21.0. There were statistically significant differences in the quality of life health according to the frequency of hope, frequency of perceiver health status, frequency of self esteem and post traumatic state. There were significant positive correlations between quality of life and hope, perceiver health status, self esteem, post traumatic state. Negative correlations were found between quality of life and aged.

The results are that first, depression experience were significantly associated with suicidal behavior. Secondly, health related quality of life appeared to mediate the relationship between depression experience and suicidal behavior. Thirdly, income was significantly moderated the relationship between depression experience and suicidal behavior in relatively low income group below average income after controlling for mediating effects of health related quality of life.

Background: Strategically improving health-related quality of life (HRQOL) should be discussed among overweight middle-aged women who are vulnerable to low HRQOL. We examined firstly if overweight middle-aged women would have significantly lower levels of HRQOL and health-promoting behaviors than normal-weight middle-aged women, and to examine secondly if health-promoting behaviors would be significantly associated with generic and obesity-specific HRQOLs within the overweight middle-aged women. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional, comparative study. Participants were 119 women aged 30-49 years who were recruited from a community in Seoul, South Korea; 63 women for the overweight group who were recruited from a baseline sample of the Community-Based Heart and Weight Management Trial, while 56 for the normal-weight group who were recruited separetely. Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile II (HPLP II), World Health Organization Quality of Life-brief version (WHOQOL-BREF) of a generic HRQOL measure, and Impact of Weight on Quality of Life-Lite (IWQOL-Lite) of an obesity-specific HRQOL measure were used. Results: Compared to the normal-weight group, the overweight group showed significantly lower scores of total WHOQOL-BREF as well as some HPLP II subscales including stress management (P=0.029). Among the HPLP II subscales, stress management was significantly and positively associated with total WHOQOL-BREF (${\beta}=1.58$, P=0.003) and self-esteem IWQOL-Lite (${\beta}=11.58$, P=0.034) among the overweight group. Conclusions: Among middle-aged overweight women, low levels of health-promoting behavior for stress management were shown, which should be strategically increased for improving their generic and obesity-specific HRQOLs.

This study utilized data from 1,068 women aged 40-59, drawn from the 8th Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) conducted in 2020, to investigate factors impacting subjective health perception and health-related quality of life. Methodologically, STATA 15.0 was employed for complex sample mean and standard deviation calculations, complex sample weighted percentages, complex sample t-tests, and multiple regression analyses. Common factors influencing both subjective health and health-related quality of life included education level, household size, depression, and stress. Age, binge drinking, and physical activity were identified as factors influencing subjective health perception. Insurance type, employment status, and sleep disorders emerged as factors impacting health-related quality of life. Recognizing middle age as a crucial transitional phase into old age, the development of health policy programs aimed at enhancing subjective health and health-related quality of life during this period is deemed essential.
