This survey was carried out to obtain the information concerning nutritional status, including factors of food habits and nutrient intake of the long-lived elderly men and women living in Ganghwa-gun. In order to assess the quality of dietary intake among the elderly, a survey was conducted during December 2003 of 103 subjects who were over 85 years of age. Dietary nutrient intake data were obtained through the 24 hr recall method. Chi-square test and t-test were the main data analysis method. Their dietary habits such as three meals a day and a regular meal time have shown that they have generally good eating habits. Average daily calorie intake ($\%$ RDA) was 1233.2 kcal ($68.8\%$) for male and 1215.8 kcal ($75.8\%$) for female which were lower than the Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA) for Koreans. Energy intake of females got closer to RDA than that of male. Protein intake was 49.3 g for male and 46.9 g for female (which was $82.3\%$ RDA for male and $85.1\%$ RDA for female) for elderly person, the proportion of animal protein to total protein intake were $45.2\%$ for male and $39.0\%$ for female. Average CPF ratio of energy intake for both male and female were 68.7 : 16.1 : 15.2 and 69.6 : 15.4 : 15.0. SFA : MUFA : PUFA ratio of the subject was 0.78 : 1.03 : 1.00 for male and 0.64 : 0.92 : 1.00 for female. Calcium intakes for both males and females were 321.3 mg and 377.2 mg. Vitamin A was the nutrient found to be least sufficient. Mean daily intakes of most of the vitamins and minerals for both males and females were lower than RDA except vitamin C and Zn for female, especially $\%$ RDAs of vitamin A, Ca for male and vitamin A for females were less than $50\%$ of RDA. In conclusion, long-lived elderly in Ganghwa areas did not consume enough nutrients quantitatively as well as qualitatively, especially Ca, Fe, vitamin A, vitamin $B_2$ and vitamin E. These results suggest that nutritional guidelines for older Koreans should focus on the maintenance of adequate energy intake. In addition, selection of foods with high protein and calcium, such as dairy food, should be emphasized, particularly in the long-lived elderly.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the difference of body composition of the elderly according to the age. This study consisted of elder male(n=48) and elder female(n=58). The average age of male elder and female elder was 73.81, 73.05 years. The data were analyzed with t-test, using SPSSWIN 10.1 program. Body composition was measured using Inbody 3.0(seoul, korea) of segmental multifrequency impedance analyzer technique. The result of this study were the following : 1. The difference of body composition according to the age 1) The MV(Muscle Volume)of male elder was significant difference among group(p<.05). The MV of female elder was very significant difference among group(p<.01). 2) The %FAT of male elder and female elder was no significant difference among group. 3) The FFM(Free Fat Mass)of male elder was significant difference among group(p<.05). The FFM of female elder was very significant difference among group(p<.01). 4) The TBW(Total Body Water)of male elder was significant difference among group(p<.05) The TBW of female elder was very significant difference among group(p<.01). 5) The WHR(Waist to Hip Ratio)of male elder was significant difference among group(p<.05). The WHR of female elder was very significant difference among group(p<.01).

The purpose of this study is provide reference data for anthropometry and body composition and also to compare body fat estimation among skinfold thickness, BIA and NIR methods. Anthropometric measurements of height, weight, eight sites of skinfolds and six sites of circumferences were taken from 76 elderly male and 153 elderly female. Skinfold thicknesses, body composition and circumferences except waist were lowered with advancing age in elderly females and males. The degree of change with age vaired among parameters but was consistently and significantly(p<0.05) greater in elderly females than I males. Although sum of skinfold thicknesses and the amount of central and peripheral fat were significantly higher in females than that of males, the ratio of central fat to peripheral fat was significantly greater in males than in females. WHR is also significantly higher in males than that of females. This indicates that fat distribution of males tend to be centralized toward the trunk of the body than females. Estimation of body fat from skinfold thickness(male : 18.5$\pm$4.1$\%$, female : 29.7$\pm$4.0$\%$) and BIA(male : 19.5$\pm$7.3$\%$, female : 29.6$\pm$6.7$\%$) were similar but were significantly different from NIR method(male : 24.7$\pm$5.6$\%$, 34.8$\pm$4.9$\%$). Estimation of body fat by NIR measurement seemed to be more overestimated. Understanding the normal changes in body composition with increasing old age, and the ability to measure these changes and compare them with appropriate reference data are important for the health of the elderly.

본 연구에서는 3차원 시뮬레이션을 통해 70-80대 노년 남성의 보디스 원형 4종을 제작한 후 가상착의를 통해 외관평가를 실시하였다. 객관성을 위해 공극률, 단면도, 색분포도 등을 분석하여 패턴 간의 차이를 비교 분석하였다. 노년 남성용 보디스 원형의 패턴형태는 L패턴을 제외하고 모든 패턴이 다트가 없는 패턴이었다. 가상착의에 대한 외관평가 결과, 노년 남성용 보디스 패턴은 앞면, 옆면, 뒷면 모든 항목에서 패턴 간에 유의미한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 옆면의 진동둘레 형태를 제외한 모든 항목에서 H패턴이 가장 우수한 패턴으로 분석되었다. 공극량, 색분포도, 단면도 등의 평가에서도 H패턴이 가장 우수하여 노년 남성에게 가장 적합한 패턴으로 분석되었다. H패턴을 기준으로 노년 남성의 상반신 체형에 적합한 패턴 개발이 이루어져야 할 것으로 생각된다.

이 논문은 노후 경제적 자원이 노인의 성에 따라 어떠한 차이가 있는지를 경험적으로 살펴보려는 의도를 가진다. 이를 위해 노후의 자립적 수입원 보유여부와 수입액을 중심으로 성에 따라 개인적 수준과 가족 및 가구 수준의 변수들이 어떠한 차별적 효과를 가지는지를 살펴보았다. '전국 노인생활실태 및 복지욕구조사(1998)' 자료를 이용해 남녀노인전체를 대상으로 한 모형과 남녀노인별 모형을 동시에 분석해 본 결과 노인들의 성에 따라 그 효과의 크기나 방향이 다른 변수들이 적지 않음을 확인하였다. 특히 두드러진 성별 차이를 보이는 변수들은 배우자유무. 자녀동거여부이다. 배우자유무의 경우. 이 변수가 경제적 자원과 긍정적인 관계를 맺는 정도는 남성노인보다는 여성노인에게서 높게 나타났다. 또한 자녀동거여부는 남성노인들에서는 자신들의 경제적 자원과 무관하거나 긍정적인 관계를 갖는 반면, 여성노인에 있어서는 부정적인 관계를 보였다. 이는 여성노인들의 배우자에 대한 의존성과 자녀에 대한 의존성을 반영하는 것이다. 이러한 결과들은 노인들의 성에 따라 이들의 개인적 혹은 가족 및 가구적 특성이 그들의 경제적 자원상황과 다른 방식으로 연결되어 있음을 보여주며, 노인들의 성에 따라 차별적으로 작용하는 기제, 혹은 주요변인들에 대한 보다 많은 논의와 연구가 필요함을 의미한다.

A questionnaire was developed with this purpose, the study subjects of this study were 365 college students who were recruited from 6 colleges(179 male students and 186 female students) living in Pusan, and the study period was from November 9. to November 23. 1992. The results were as follows: 1. In the factors related to attitude toward the elderly, male students had more positive attitude than female students toward the desire of living with their parents in the future(P=0.000). 2. In the expectant awareness of being supported by their offsprings and the desire of living together with their offsprings male students were more highly than female students(P=0.000). 3. The subjects who want to live together with their parents in the future desired more to live with their offsprings in the period of old age(P=0.000). 4. As results of hypotheses verification about the awareness of supporting the elderly, there were significant differences according to the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in law(P=0.001), the receptive attitude toward the elderly(P=0.000) and the desire of living with their parents in the future(P=0.000) 5. In the correlations between all variables and the awareness of supporting the elderly, the economical and emotional awareness of supporting the elderly had positive correlations with the relationship between mother in-law and daughter-in-law and their parents' filial piety to grandparents(P＜0.01), and service awareness of supporting the elderly had positive correlations with age, sex, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and their parents' filial piety to grandparents(P＜0.01). In the correlations between each of the awareness of supporting the elderly, the correlations between each one had high positive correlations(P＜0.001).

The purpose of this study was to identify correlations among the continence function, cognitive function, and activities of daily living(ADL) in elderly male patients with dementia in geriatric hospitals. The subjects were 64 patients aged 65 or above who were diagnosed with dementia among the hospitalized male patients in a geriatric hospital. For the subjects' cognitive function, a questionnaire developed for the Korean Mini Mental Status Examination(K-MMSE) was used. For the continence function and ADL, data were collected using a patient evaluation table. As a result, a lower level of cognitive function resulted in corresponding higher levels of dependence in all items of ADL except bathing(p<.05), and a lower level of cognitive function led to corresponding declines in the continence function(bowel control, bladder control)(p<.01). In addition, a higher level of dependence in ADL resulted in corresponding higher levels of difficulty in bowel and bladder control(p<.01). This study showed correlations among the cognitive function, ADL, and continence function of elderly men with dementia. The results of this study may be used as basic data for the management and treatment of hospitalized elderly male patients with dementia in geriatric hospitals.
