Background and objectives: One-person households are the fastest growing family type in Korea. They bring social concerns such as weakened social integration, increasing poverty and social isolation. They are not homogeneous but heterogeneous groups depending on their socio-demographic characteristics including generation. This study compared the life satisfaction level as well as factors affecting it among the three one-person household generations Methods: The 13th wave of the Korea Welfare Panel dataset with 1,187 respondents was utilized. For data analysis Chi-square test, analysis of variance and hierarchical regression analysis were employed. Generations are divided into three, namely young adult (20-39), the middle-aged (40-64) and the elderly (65 and over). Result: The life satisfaction level was highest among the young adult one-person household generation, followed by the middle-aged and the elderly generation. The common factors affecting life satisfaction of the three generations were physical as well as mental health, including self-esteem and depression. However, there were more factors different from generation to generation. As for the young adult, age, religion, and smoking were significant. As for the middle aged and the elderly, gender (male) and income were significant. Additionally, age, home-ownership and drinking were significant to the elderly generation. Conclusions: As there are differences as well as similarities among the three generations, policies for one-person households need to be devised considering these findings. For all generations, both physical and mental health policies are needed. For young adult strengthening social relations, providing decent jobs, and promoting anti-smoking policy are major agenda, and for the middle-aged and the elderly, assisting in social capital accumulation (for male), providing stable jobs and diverse leisure activities, and securing income. Additionally, for the elderly, expanding the social security system and housing support are needed.

본 연구는 베이비부머의 여가활동과 노후준비가 삶의 만족도에 미치는 영향과 배우자 지지의 조절효과에 대한 연구를 통해 그들의 특성과 욕구를 파악하는데 목적이 있다. 서울시에 거주하는 베이비부머(1955년생-1963년생)를 연구대상으로, 총 406부의 설문자료를 수집하여 분석하였다. 분석결과 첫째, 여가활동은 삶의 만족도에 정(+)의 영향을 미치며, 둘째, 노후준비와 독립적 여가활동 수준은 삶의 만족도에 정(+)의 영향을 미쳤다. 셋째, 노후준비는 여가활동 수준이 삶의 만족도에 미치는 영향을 매개하였으며 넷째, 배우자지지는 노후준비와 여가활동이 삶의 만족도에 미치는 영향에 조절역할을 하였다. 다섯째, 배우자지지의 조절효과는 경제적 노후준비에 의해 매개되어 삶의 만족도에 부(-)의 영향을 미치고, 신체적 노후준비에 의해 매개되어 삶의 만족도에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과를 바탕으로 이전 세대와는 다른 특성을 가진 베이비부머가 노년의 행복한 삶을 영위하기 위하여 관련 산업분야와 정부부처 등에서 융 복합적인 관점의 접근을 통해 다양한 정책마련과 전략수립이 이루어져야 할 것이다.

Advanced age is one of the risk factors for vascular diseases that are mainly caused by impaired nitric oxide (NO) production. It has been demonstrated that endothelial arginase constrains the activity of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) and limits NO generation. Hence, arginase inhibition is suggested to be vasoprotective in aging. In this study, we examined the effects of intravenous injection of Piceatannol, an arginase inhibitor, on aged mice. Our results show that Piceatannol administration reduced the blood pressure in aged mice by inhibiting arginase activity, which was associated with NO production and reactive oxygen species generation. In addition, Piceatannol administration recovered $Ca^{2+}$/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II phosphorylation, eNOS phosphorylation and eNOS dimer stability in the aged mice. The improved NO signaling was shown to be effective in attenuating the phenylephrine-dependent contractile response and in enhancing the acetylcholine-dependent vasorelaxation response in aortic rings from the aged mice. These data suggest Piceatannol as a potential treatment for vascular disease.

Also it is purposed to support implications for marketing strategy on fashion market for the aged. A survey was carried out regarding the consumers of the new elderly generation aged 55 and above. 561 respondents were surveyed, residing in Seoul and Metropolitan areas. Factor analysis, Cronbach's ${\alpha}$, K-average community and multivariate analysis, multi-recurrence and crossing analysis($X^2$ verified) were used for statistical analysis. In conclusion, first, people in their 70s to 80s perceive their age 20 to 30 years younger than their real age. Second, appearance-oriented and high technology-oriented were the most highlighted lifestyles as to the study of the vital statistical, related to the lifestyle in correspondence to the real-age and the cognitive age. Third, people who feel older than they actually are in terms of shopping orientation were less likely to shop depending on their mood. Throughout the results, there is no doubt that people in the elderly generation is a main target within marketing trends in the elderly generation industry. A research based on comparison between the male and the female consumers in the elderly generation is considered to be very meaningful.

이 연구는 서울시 세대별(청년층, 중년층) 창업의 공간적 분포와 영향 요인을 분석하는데 목적이 있었다. 이를 위해 창업가의 연령대 자료를 포함하고 있는 서울시 사업체조사(2018) 데이터를 활용하여 서울시 424개 행정동의 세대별 창업 분포를 분석했으며, 산업, 인구구조 및 창업지원 기관 관련 변인이 포함된 연구모형을 설정하여 세대별 창업의 영향 요인을 분석하였다. 분석 방법은 서울시 행정동의 세대별 창업과 주요 변인들의 빈도, 평균 및 표준편차를 확인하기 위해 기술통계를 활용했으며, 전역적, 국지적 공간자기상관 분석을 통해 세대별 창업의 공간적 분포를 분석하였다. 특히 세대별 전체 창업과 주요 산업별 창업을 구분하여 분석함으로써 서울시 창업의 공간 분포를 심층적으로 확인하였다. 이후 라그랑주 검정을 통해 공간회귀분석 모형을 선택하였으며, 이를 바탕으로 세대별 창업에 미치는 지역적 영향 요인을 분석하였다. 연구결과를 통해 도출한 주요 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 청년층과 중년층 창업의 공간적 분포에 유의미한 차이가 있었다. 청년층은 서초·강남-용산-마포-강서구로 이어지는 벨트 지역에서 창업이 활발하게 이루어졌지만, 중년층은 서초·강남·송파·강동으로 대표되는 동남권 지역의 창업이 활발한 편이었다. 둘째, 서울시 세대별 창업은 업종에 따라 다양한 공간적 분포를 보였다. 지식첨단산업(정보통신, 전문서비스)은 세대 공통적으로 서초, 강남, 마포, 구로, 금천구가 중심지역이었으며, 제조업은 기존 집적지를 중심으로 창업이 집중되어 있었다. 반면 생활서비스업의 경우 청년층은 용산, 마포, 관악 등 대학과 문화 중심지역에서 창업이 활발했으며, 중년층은 신시가지 중심으로 창업이 집중되었다. 셋째, 서울시의 세대별 창업 입지에 대한 영향 요인에 차이가 있었다. 청년층은 첨단산업, 대학, 문화자본 및 인구 밀집이 창업에 유의미한 영향 요인이었으며, 중년층은 전문서비스 특화도, 낮은 평균연령, 창업지원 기관 밀집 수준이 창업에 유의미한 영향을 미쳤다. 또한 이러한 입지요인은 산업별로 차별적인 영향이 있었다. 연구를 통해 제시한 제언은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 서울시 지역, 산업 및 세대별 특성을 고려한 체계적인 창업지원이 필요하다. 세대별 창업 지역과 산업에 상당한 차이가 있는 만큼 지역 및 산업적 특성을 고려한 맞춤형 창업지원 체계를 강화할 필요가 있다. 둘째, 연구 방법적 측면에서 데이터 축적을 통해 자치구 단위에서 문화, 재정 등을 종합적으로 고려한 후속 연구가 필요하다.
