Recently, the growing of the aging population resulting from the medical and science development has made the elderly consumer as a new market. The purposes of this study were 1) to examine the purchase behavior of apparel products and hairdressing services of elderly consumers, 2) to investigate the purchase behavior in the apparel store and hairdressing shop on lifestyle types. Data were collected from 853 women in their 50s and 60s living in Busan. Data were analyzed by frequency analysis, descriptive analysis, factor analysis, Cronbach#s alpha, Chi-square analysis, cluster analysis, one-way ANOVA and Duncan test using SPSS WIN 12.0. The results of the study were as follows: First. when elderly consumers purchased apparel product, they were likely to use credit cards, to shop alone or with friends at a department store, and to use the store as information source. In their purchases of hairdressing services, they tended to visit the near shop for a permanent service bimonthly and to depend on their past experiences for hairdressing. Second, elderly consumers were classified by the lifestyle into the Active self-fidelitist, Economy family-oriented, and Passive-stagnant. The purchase behaviors in the apparel store and hairdressing shop were different among lifestyle types. Implications were suggested for the consumer behavior researchers and retailers of the elderly fashion market.

Objectives: The purpose of the study is to investigate the influence of elderly-related experience on attitude toward elderly in dental hygiene students. Methods: A self-reported questionnaire was completed by 213 dental hygiene students in Suwon from November 21 to 30, 2012. The questionnaire consisted of general characteristics of the subjects, elderly-related experience, knowledge on elderly, and attitude toward elderly by Likert 7 points scale. The instrument for knowledge on elderly was adapted from facts on aging quiz-I by Palmore and modified by Kim et al. Data were analyzed by t test, one way ANOVA, and multiple regression analysis using SPSS 21.0 program. Results: The attitude toward the elderly was $2.79{\pm}0.42$. The elderly-related experience had a positive influence on the attitude toward elderly(p=0.019) according to the level of experiencing the elderly(r=0.161, p<0.05). The influence of elderly-related experience on attitude toward the elderly showed that an experiencing variable is key factor in predicted variable of the attitude toward the elderly(${\beta}$=0.177 p=0.015). Conclusions: Elderly-related experience had an effect on positive attitude toward the elderly people in the dental hygiene students. It is necessary to develop and implement the education program for the exact knowledge and attitude toward the elderly.

예로부터 "갈증이 나면 물을 마셔 해소하고, 번뇌와 근심걱정은 술을 마셔 지워버리고, 피로회복과 정신을 맑게 하려면 차를 마신다"라고 하였다. 이처럼 차는 물과 술보다 오래 마실수록 몸과 마음에 아주 좋은 대자연이 준 귀한 진다(眞茶)이며, 사계절의 기후변화 특징에 따른 양생차를 마심으로써 건강을 유지하게 해준다. 이처럼 차에는 고대인들의 철학사상인 음양의 이치가 숨겨져 있기에 어떤 차를 어떻게 우려 마셔야 음양의 조화를 이루어 양생에 도움이 되는지를 옛 선인들은 알고 있었다. 차의 성분변화에 영향 주는 인자는 천지인의 복합적인 상호작용이 중요하며 그 중에서 차를 다루는 사람의 마음정신이 가장 중요하다. 차는 인간과 자연을 이어주는 교량역활의 천연 양생음료이다.

Background: In Japan, more than 60% of employees are reported to suffer from anxiety and stress. Consequently, Japanese society has begun to address such important issues as psychogenic disability and job-related suicide. Furthermore, given the aging of society and the surge in the number of elderly people requiring care, it is necessary to adequately and proactively support employees who care for their elderly relatives. The purpose of the present study was to investigate caregiver burden in caring for elderly relatives and work-related stress factors associated with mental health among employees. Methods: We studied 722 men and women aged 18-83 years in a cross-sectional study. The K10 questionnaire was used to examine mental health status. Results: The proportion of participants with a high K10 score was 15% (n = 106). Having little conversation with their supervisor and/or coworkers significantly increased the risk of depression [odds ratio (OR) 1.8], as did high job overload (OR 2.7) and job dissatisfaction (OR 3.8), compared with employees who frequently conversed with their supervisor and/or coworkers. Caring for elderly relatives as a prominent characteristic of an employee was a significant risk factor for depression (OR 2.1). Conclusion: The present study demonstrated that employees who were caring for elderly relatives were significantly associated with an increased risk of depression. To prevent depressive disorders, it may be important to focus on reducing the work-caregiving role conflict, as well as enhancing employees' job control and better rewarding their efforts in the workplace.

This study was carried out to investigate the intake pattern and the experience on the kimchi-making, and to analyze the taste preference of kimchi. The questionnaires have been collected from 473 college students in Taejon. Most students had taken baechu-kimchi, kkakduki, yeolmu-kimchi, dongchimi, and cheonggak-kimchi. They liked baechu-kimchi best, and then cheonggak-kimchi. Twenty-seven percent of students took kimchi every meal time and 53 % once a day. The rest 19.4% replied that they could take meals without kimchi. The male students ate more kimchi than the female(p<0.01). Sixty-five percent of them had tried the foreign foods made with kimchi and female had more experience than male(p<0.01). The taste of kimchi-japchae and kimchi-woodong was indicated as edible or taste very good by over two thirds of the students. Kimchi-pizza, kimchi-hamburger, and kimchi-spaghetti were evaluated as edible or taste good by the over half. The aging of kimchi was believed to be the most important factor to determine the taste. Students preferred kimchi which was weak in salty, sweet, and jot-kal taste, strong in hot taste, and proper in sour taste(well-fermented). Compared with the male, the female enjoyed kimchi having stronger sour and weaker jot-kal taste(p<0.01). More female students(43.5%) had experenced kimchi-making than the male(26.5%)(p<0.001). Three-fourth of them had made kimchi with their mother. Baechu-kimchi, cheonggak-kimchi, and dongchimi were recommended as the global food.

한국의 고령화로 증가한 노인인구가 행복한 노년의 삶을 사는데 필요한 요소 중의 하나로 사회활동의 참여가 있다. 다양한 사회활동의 하나 중 자원봉사활동은 사회적으로는 시민사회의 기반이 되는 역할을 하며 개인적으로 노인의 삶의 질을 향상시키는 효과가 있다. 본 연구는 한국 노인의 자원봉사활동 현황과 자원봉사활동 참여 요인을 분석하되 노인인구의 다양성을 고려하여 연령집단별로 분석하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 한국 고령화 연구 패널의 2차년도 자료에서 55세 이상의 노인을 예비노인(55세-65세), 전기노인(65세-74세), 후기노인(75세 이상)으로 분류하여 기술통계와 로지스틱 회귀분석으로 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 노인의 자원봉사활동 참여율은 매우 낮았으며, 노인의 사회적 관계가 노인이 자원봉사활동 참여에 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 또한 연령별 다양성을 고려해야 할 필요성도 확인되었다.

우리나라 대중음악에서 소울음악은 뛰어난 가수로서의 평가기준이 되고 있다. 우리가 열광하는 소울음악을 이해하기 위해서 음악의 모태가 되어진, 흑인들의 피와 땀이 서린 광활한 대지에서 외치는 소리(Filed Holler)와 그들의 처량한 신세를 한탄하며 노래하던 송스터(Songster)음악인 블루스. 그리고 정신적 유일한 안식처인 교회 음악과 중요한 뮤지션들을 고찰하였다. 특히, 탄생시점인 1960년대 미국의 사회적 배경은 소울음악을 이해하기 위해 가장 중요한 요인이라 할 수 있다. 수많은 외세의 침략가운데 처절한 식민 지배를 받아온 우리나라는 자연스럽게, 노예역사를 가진 흑인들의 정서를 공유하고 있다고 볼 수 있다. 흑인들에게 소울음악은, 사회적 태도의 표현이며 분노표출의 음악인 것이다. 그러나 지금 우리나라에서 홍수처럼 쏟아지는 많은 음악 가운데 삶의 본질을 관통하는 음악이 너무나 부족하다. 흑인들의 처절한 삶의 투쟁으로 얻어낸 고귀한 결정체인 소울음악이 우리에게 단지 이성에 대한 구애와 화려한 보컬의 능력을 과시하는 수단으로 전락하고 있음이 안타깝게 느껴진다. 소울음악이 흑인들에게 정체성과 자존감 회복의 강력한 도구가 되었듯이 우리사회에서 약자들의 소리를 시원하게 외칠 수 있는 본질의 소리가 되길 기대한다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the levels of recognition, practice and information acquisition behaviors regarding food additives of university students for development of educational programs. The data were collected from 283 students in the Yeungnam region through a self-administered questionnaire. The level of concern about food additives was intermediate. The level of checking labels for food additives when buying processed foods was not high. The main reason for not checking labels for food additives was "Buying the special brand products repeatedly". In the factor analysis for perception of food additives, three factors were categorized; effect of food additives on human health, administration and regulation of food additives, and necessity of food additives. According to regression analyses, grade, concern about food additives and perception of amount of food additives had significant effects on human health. The significant variables for administration and regulation of food additives were gender, grade, major, monthly allowance and concern about food additives. In addition, major was a significant variable for the necessity of food additives. Many respondents did not reduce intake of food additives; males did less than females. Most respondents answered they did not acquire sufficient information about food additives. Regarding needs for information content on food additives, respondents wanted information about safety of food additives the most, followed by items of labels for food additives, and ways to reduce intake of food additives.

Purpose: Gastric cancer has a high incidence and mortality rate in Korea. Despite a growing older population and an increase in the number of older patients with gastric cancer, the older patients are not willing to undergo surgery due to their operative risks. Hence, to determine the clinical characteristics and outcomes of gastric cancer surgery for them, we investigate factors influencing the treatment decision. Materials and Methods: Between January 1996 and December 2005, a total of 1,519 patients were classified into two groups; the younger age group between 41 and 69 years of age, and the older age group of 70 years or older. The analysis conducted included patient characteristics, accompanying disorders, related American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) grade, pathological characteristics and survival rate for each age group. Results: Significant differences were found in the ASA grade (P<0.001) and the number of accompanying disorders (P<0.001) between the two groups. The average length of hospital stay after surgery was 14.5 days in the younger age group, and 13.3 days in the older age group (P=0.065). The average survival time was 47.5 months in the younger age group, and 43.2 months in the older age group (P<0.001). Conclusions: This study demonstrated that there was more number of accompanying disorders with a high surgical risk in the older age group. However, there was no significant difference between the older and younger age groups in terms of the incidence of complications, under the given disease conditions and if proper management was provided.
