In aging Korean society, many elderly people have difficulty in the areas of health, economic insecurity, role-loss(both work & spouse), loneliness, and family conflicts. Above all, retirement from work is one of the most important stressful life events having influences an elderly's persons economic & social activities, mental state, health status, and Lifelong educational programs could help the aged cope with these situations in later life. Health and social welfare are commonly recognized as an important value of life. They also have an effect on each other. Most people agree that the promotion of health and social welfare is to take a short-cut toward achieving well-being. Thus we need to develop a substantially integrated program of lifelong education, before and after retirement, for the promotion of health and welfare. Universities have the advantage of practicing lifelong educational programs because they have more material, intellectual, and human resources than any other educational facilities. As a result, the purposed of this study is to suggest life-long educational programs for promoting both health conditions and the level of social welfare by utilizing an aging center affiliated with a university. Specifically, the developmental courses of pre-retirement, learning in retirement, elder-hostels, and the connection between pre and post-retirement educational programs are proposed in this study.

Purpose: This study examined the effects of physical fitness and aging anxiety on life satisfaction among the elderly. Methods: The participants were 119 elderly. Data collection was conducted from July 1 to 10, 2018. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-tests, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and multiple linear regression analysis with SPSS software. Results: The mean life satisfaction score was 4.10. Life satisfaction differed significantly according to several general characteristics: education level (p=.014), income (p<.001), living with partner (p=.041), perceived health status (p<.001), and number of chronic diseases (p<.001). Statistically significant positive relationships were observed between life satisfaction with muscle strength (r=.20) and, flexibility (r=.21), and a negative relationship was observed with aging anxiety (r=-.66). A total of 60.0% of life satisfaction was explained by income, perceived health status, muscle strength, flexibility, and aging anxiety. Conclusion: These results can be used to develop life sports programs to improve physical, social, and emotional health promotion with consideration for support to alleviate economic burden. Effect of life sports are evident as a way for healthy and energetic elderly. It should not be a simple exercise program but an integrated plan for improving physical, mental, and social health of the elderly.

Objectives : According to Rowe and Kahn (1998), successful aging is the combination of a low probability of disease, high functioning, and active engagement with life. The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship between active engagement with life and functioning among the community-dwelling elderly. Methods : Data were collected from Wave 2 of the Suwon Longitudinal Aging Study (SLAS), consisting of a sample of 645 persons aged 65 and older living in the community. A social activity checklist and social support inventory were used as measures of engagement with life, along with the Physical Functioning (PF) scale as a measure of functioning. The effects of social support and social activity on physical functioning, taking into account the covariates, were analyzed by hierarchical linear regression analysis. Results : Maintenance of social activity and social support were significantly associated with higher physical function, after adjusting for sociodemographic and health-related covariates. Social support appeared to be more prominent than social activity in predicting physical functioning. Conclusions : Social support and social activity are potentially modifiable factors associated with physical function in older persons. Studies examining the role social engagement may play in preventing disability are warranted.

본 연구는 중장년에게 있어 성공적 노화의 예측요인으로 입증된 신체적 인지적, 심리적, 사회적 요인과 성공적 노화 간의 구조적 관계를 통해 중장년에게 의미있는 성공적 노화의 선행요인을 규명하는 것을 연구목적으로 하였다. 이를 위하여 신체적 인지적, 심리적, 사회적 요인의 대표변인으로 주관적 건강상태, 인지기능, 자아존중감, 사회적 지지를 상정하였다. 연구대상은 대한민국 대표 기업공시채널 KINO(http://kind.krt.co.kr)에 등록된 유가증권, 코스닥, 코넥스 기업에 종사하는 근로자 359명을 대상으로 하였으며, SPSS 23.0과 Amos 21.0, M-plus 6.12 프로그램을 사용하여 분석을 실시하였다. 분석결과 첫째, 본 연구에서 설정한 성공적 노화 간의 구조적 관계에 대한 모형의 적합도는 RMSEA=.059, TLI=.932, CFI=.944로 적합도 지수의 기준값을 모두 충족시키는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 주관적 건강상태와 사회적지지만이 성공적 노화에 영향을 미치는 예측변수로 나타났으나 인지기능과 자아존중감은 성공적 노화에 유의한 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 신체적, 심리적, 사회적 요인 중 사회적 요인인 사회적 지지가 중장년의 성공적 노화에 가장 많은 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되었다. 이는 성공적 노화에 있어 기존 선행연구와 배치되는 결과이며 생애주기에 따라 성공적노화에 미치는 영향요인이 다름을 시사한다. 즉, 중장년은 사회적 관계망 내에서 자신의 역할을 인식하며, 일을 통해 본인의 정체성과 의미를 확립하고 있음에 따라 사회적 지지가 성공적 노화를 촉진시키는데 있어 가장 중요하다고 할 수 있다. 본 연구는 무엇보다도 우리나라의 상황적 맥락이 반영된 중장년을 대상으로 성공적 노화의 모형을 탐색하였다는데 큰 의의가 있다.

Purpose: With the first generation of marriage-based immigrant women in East Asia now reaching their middle or old age, the need to focus investigations on their health-related quality of life has arisen. This study aimed to examine the extent to which physical and mental health, and psychosocial variables can predict health-related quality of life among Japanese middle-aged immigrant women. Methods: This study has a descriptive cross-sectional design. A convenience sample of 197 Japanese middle-aged marriage-based immigrant women from two regions of South Korea were recruited between December 2017 and March 2018. Participants completed self-administered questionnaires on health-related quality of life, menopausal symptoms, depression, perceived health status, disease morbidity, social support, and acculturation. The data were analyzed using hierarchical multiple regression. Results: Depression was the strongest predictor of health-related quality of life, followed by perceived health status, social support, and household income. Menopausal symptoms, presence of disease, and acculturation appeared to have no additional impact on participant's health-related quality of life. Conclusion: In times of rapid growth of global migration and the aging of immigrants in new destination countries, nursing interventions and public health policies for aging marriage-based immigrant women should be prioritized to improve their mental health by facilitating social support and disease management. In addition, social and employment policies that can help immigrant women transition to a healthy midlife are needed.
