노인 인구 집단 내에서도 더 큰 증가폭을 보이고 있는 고령노인의 일상생활기능과 사회활동 참여, 노인학대, 우울과의 관계를 살펴보는 것이 본 연구의 목적이다. 전라북도 14개 시군에 거주하고 있는 75세 이상 고령노인을 대상으로 구조화된 설문지를 이용, 면접법을 통해 자료를 수집하였다. 분석에 사용된 설문지는 총 603부로 분석은 구조방정식모형을 사용하였다. 분석결과를 정리하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 조사 대상노인의 우울 정도는 37.2%가 증등도 이상의 우울로 매우 심각한 수준이었다. 둘째, 노인의 일상생활기능은 우울에 직·간접적으로 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 노인의 사회활동참여 정도는 일상생활기능과 우울 사이에서 부분 매개 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, 노인의 학대 정도는 일상생활기능과 우울 사이에서 부분 매개 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구 결과를 통해 얻을 수 있는 정책적, 실천적 함의를 제안하였다.

Objectives : Obesity causes serious medical complications and impairs quality of life in older persons. We review the literature on the clinical issues related to obesity in elderly and suggest appropriate weight-management guidelines for obese older patients. Methods : PubMed Database and RISS were searched for articles relating to obesity in the elderly. We classified articles according to clinical characteristics, assessments, medical complications, and therapy. Results and Conclusions : The current data show that obesity in elderly is associated with increased mortality, metabolic abnormalities, arthritis, pulmonary abnormalities, urinary incontinence, cancer, and impaired quality of life. Therefore, clinical studies are needed to demonstrate the effectiveness andsafety of weight-loss treatments in obese elderly.

본 연구는 대구광역시 및 경상북도에 소재하고 있는 35세부터 64세까지의 성인들을 대상으로 중장년층이 인식하는 노인 이미지와 노후생활 준비도를 분석하였다. 이에 따른 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 중장년층이 인식하는 노인 이미지 중 심리적 이미지가 가장 긍정적이었고 다음으로 신체적 이미지, 사회적 이미지 순으로 나타났다. 학력이 높을수록, 정규직이거나 부모 모두 생존할 경우, 노인 이미지가 긍정적이었다. 그리고 기혼일 경우 노인의 심리적 이미지가 좋았으며 노인의 기준 나이를 높게 책정할수록 노인의 심리적, 사회적 이미지가 좋은 결과를 보였다. 둘째, 중장년층의 노후생활 준비도는 정서적 준비, 신체적 준비 순으로 높았다. 반면 준비가 부족한 것은 경제적 준비, 여가·사회적 준비로 나타났다. 여성일수록 학력이 높을수록, 월평균 가계수입이 높을수록, 전문직일수록, 정규직일수록, 노인의 나이 기준을 높이 책정할수록 노후생활 준비도가 높았다. 셋째, 중장년층의 노인 이미지와 노후생활 준비도는 하위요인 간에 서로 영향을 주며, 노인에 대한 이미지가 긍정적일수록 노후생활 준비를 잘하는 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 연구결과는 바람직한 노인 이미지의 개선 방향을 제시할 수 있으며, 개인과 사회적 지원의 방안을 모색하고 성공적인 노후생활 준비를 위한 교육프로그램을 개발하는데 시사한다.

Elderly care services are health, mental health, social health, and residential services provided to temporarily or chronically disabled older persons over an extended period of time with a goal of enabling them to function as independently as possible. And elderly care facilities such as nursing homes are places in which elderly care services have to be delivered effectively. It is, therefore, desirable to compose the space of elderly care facilities to meet the mental and physical abilities of frail elder people. This study has proposed the hierarchical space organization of elderly care facilities with an aim to fulfill the goals of them. Frail older people in hierarchically designed homes are anticipated to use the inner and outer spaces of care facilities as independently as possible in accordance with their physical and mental abilities.

This study creates a method with more scientific patterns for use in designing golfwear slacks patterns that better reflect the unique characteristics of body types for elderly women aged 60 or older. This study investigates (when designing human-engineering golfwear slacks for elderly women) the body types of elderly women and design slacks patterns suitable for golf actions in order to design golfwear slacks that show excellence in function and aesthetics as well as for exercise and everyday wear conditions. The study indicated that "total crotch length" was the design element for most considerations when manufacturing golf slacks. A survey on the production of golf slacks for elderly women aged 60 or older showed that the 6 firms participating have not produced an exclusive product for women 60 years of age or older and have only manufactured an enlarged size up to 85. All 6 firms participating replied "No" two the question "Do you produce in consideration of the body types of women over 60 years of age?" Polyester-polyurethane composites were the most widely used (among golf slacks materials) as spring-autumn applications.

As a result of rapid aging speed in our society, many problems related to elderly people have happened in many parts of our society. Among them, supply for elderly housing is one of the biggest problems. To solve these problems, 'long-term care insurance' has been put in operation from July 2008. By the time of the insurance operation, Ministry of Health and Welfare is increasing facilities every year according to '10-year expending plan of Care service infra' from 2002. As a result, the supply rate of elderly facilities has been raised. But the differences of facility supply rate between regions are very high in some cases. Therefore older people who need care sometimes cannot get proper care services in some areas. In that case, the frail older people have to use other care facilities of other regions. This is not a proper situation from the point of "Aging in Place". In order to prevent that case, it is necessary to set up proper 'Daily Living Spheres' and establish elderly care plan for it. Considering the points above, this study proposes the size of 'Daily Living Spheres' for the elderly, the kind and amount of elderly care facilities in it for the construction of Community Based Elderly Care System.

PURPOSE: This study is a data analysis study to determine the physical health problems and reasons for disabilities and activity limitation rates that limit daily life and social activities among the elderly population aged 75 or older in Korea. METHODS: This study data was extracted from the raw data of the 7th National Health and Welfare Survey (2016-2018). The subjects of this study were 1,995 elderly people (823 men, 1,172 women) aged 75 years or older. The collected data were analyzed using frequency analysis and logistic regression analysis. RESULTS: From 2016 to 2018, the activity limitation rate among the elderly population aged 75 or older in Korea was 20.6% for men, 24.6% for women, and 23.1% overall. The three major diseases with the highest frequency of activity limitations were back and neck problems (36.5%), arthritis and rheumatism (28.7%), and knee and leg pain (14.7%). Activity limitation due to old age was found to be 13.1%, making it the fourth most frequent reason. The rate of activity limitations due to mental retardation and obesity was found to be 0%. The three major activity limitation rates were significantly related to gender. CONCLUSION: The main diseases causing activity limitations among the elderly population aged 75 or older in Korea were back and neck problems, arthritis and rheumatism, and musculoskeletal diseases such as knee and leg pain. Therefore, it is believed that it can be used as basis data for reducing the activity limitation rate of the elderly population in the aging era.

The purpose of this study was to propose ubiquitous housing environment based on older residents' needs for ubiquitous(UT) home services. For this purpose, at the previous study which was the first stage of this study, UT home services by each elderly household based on spouse, income level, and health status were identified and this study finally proposed UT home services by each elderly household type according to residents' level of needs for UT home services. One to one interview with a structured survey questionnaire and illustration was implemented and 204 older residents who were composed of one of six elderly household types were responded. Among 6 types of elderly households, type 2 and 6 were the groups which had higher needs for various kinds of UT home services. Economic status and their health status were the key factors to determine their needs for UT home services. Type 4 and 7 were the groups to express their lower needs for UT home services due to their lower income level and good health condition. Ultimately, two floor plans for type 4 and 5 elderly households were developed to show applicable UT home services in each room of the house.

본 연구는 치매로 진단받지 않은 노인 1,477명을 대상으로, 우울이 없는 정상노인과 우울노인으로 선별하고, 이 두 집단의 인지기능저하요인들을 파악하고 비교하였다. 결과를 보면 우울이 없는 정상노인의 인지기능저하에 영향을 미치는 요인은 연령과 학력이었으며, 연령(OR=1.095)이 높을수록 또한 무학(OR=9.129)이 인지기능 저하의 위험이 높았다. 한편 우울한 노인의 인지기능저하에 영향을 미치는 요인은 연령, 학력, 거주형태로 나타났으며, 연령이 높을수록(OR=1.101), 학력이 낮을수록(무학:OR=33.020, 초졸:OR=10.176, 중졸:OR=9.841), 기관에 거주할수록(요양원거주:OR=8.490) 인지기능 저하의 위험이 높았다. 이러한 결과는 치매 고위험집단으로 인식되고 있는 우울노인들 중에서도 특히 학력이 낮고 사회적 지지가 취약한 노인을 초점으로 중재하는 것이 치매관리에 소요되는 사회자원을 비용-효과적으로 이용하는 것임을 보여주고 있다.
