본 연구는 우리나라 재가 노인의 신체활동 수준과 이에 영향을 미치는 요인을 파악하여, 향후 노인 신체활동 전략과 프로그램을 개발하는데 기여하고자 수행되었다. 연구자료는 보건복지가족부 주관으로 실시되는 전국적 조사인 '2008년도 노인실태조사' 원시자료를 활용하였고, 연구대상자는 65세 이상 노인 중 자료에 결측값이 없는 12,322명이었다. 연구결과 29.9%의 남성 노인과 46.4%의 여성 노인이 신체 비활동군으로 분류되었다. 남성 노인의 신체활동에 영향을 미치는 변수는 연령(OR=1.44, p<.001), 교육수준(OR=1.17, p=.026), 거주지역(OR=1.19, p=.016), 주관적 건강(OR=2.18, p<.001), 만성질환 유무(OR=1.23, p=.020), 통증유무(OR=1.24, p=.011), ADL(OR=1.86, p<.001), 낙상두려움(OR=1.26, p=.003), 우울(OR=1.78, p<.001)이었고, 여성 노인의 신체활동에 영향을 미치는 변수는 연령(OR=1.54, p<.001), 주관적 건강(OR=1.63, p<.001), 통증 유무(OR=1.45, p<.001), 낙상경험 유무(OR=1.24, p=.001), ADL(OR=1.72, p<.001), 우울(OR=1.46, p<.001)이었다. 이러한 결과는 재가 노인의 성별 특성에 부합하는 신체활동 전략 및 프로그램 계발에 도움을 줄 것으로 기대한다.

본 연구에서는 근력과 균형능력 및 지구력 증가를 위한 운동방법이 포함된 두 가지 운동 프로그램이 노인의 균형능력과 낙상효능감에 미치는 영향과 선호도에 따른 효과의 차이를 알아보았다. 21명의 노인을 대상으로 탄력밴드를 사용하는 보조도구사용 그룹(실험군 1)과 신체를 사용하는 그룹(실험군 2)으로 나누어 4주 동안 운동 프로그램을 진행하였다. 노인의 균형능력을 평가하기 위해서 single leg stand (SLS)과 functional reach test (FRT)을 사용하였으며, 낙상에 대한 두려움 정도를 평가하기 위해 fall efficacy scale (FES)를 사용하였다. 평가는 2주간의 통합 운동 프로그램 후 사전 평가를 진행하였으며, 4주 동안 운동 프로그램 적용 후 사후 평가를 실시하였다. 연구결과에서 그룹 내 SLS, FRT, FES 분석은 모두 사전 평가에 비해 사후 평가가 통계학적으로 유의한 개선이 나타났다. 그러나 운동 프로그램에 대한 그룹 간 비교와 선호도에 따른 그룹 간 비교에서는 유의한 차이가 없었다. 결론적으로, 노인의 균형능력과 낙상효능감을 증가시키기 위해서는 운동 프로그램을 적용해야하며, 적용이 용이하고 노인이 쉽게 수행할 수 있는 운동방법을 포함한 프로그램의 사용이 필요하다.

At the start of the new century, South Africa probably had the largest number of HIV-infected people of any country in the world. The only nation that comes close is India with a population of one billion people compared to South Africa's figure of 57 million. The tragedy is that this did not have to happen. South Africa was aware of the dangers posed by AIDS as early as 1985. In 1991, the national survey of women attending antenatal clinics found that only 0.8percent were infected. In 1994, when the new government took power, the figure was still comparatively low at 7.6 %. The 2004 figure which has been published is 26.5%. This article tracks the epidemic globally, in the region and in South Africa. I explain some of the basic concepts around the disease and look at what may happen with respect to numbers. The situation is bad, and the number of people falling ill, dying and leaving families will rise over next few years. This will impact on South Africa in a number of important ways. This article assesses the demographic, economic and social consequences of the epidemic. It disposes of a number of myths and present the real facts. The AIDS in South Africa is not related to individuals only. It warns that AIDS in Africa is becoming a community and systemic problem. The acuteness of the problem does not stem merely from the fact that communities are affected, or could even be wipe out by the end of this decade, but from the fact that AIDS will place incredible burdens and obligations upon medical services, health care and religious communities such as churches. The facts confront churches' mission with the important question: who is going to take care of all the patients and where? The reality is that people dying of AIDS will have to be cared for at home by relatives and friends. A further question that arises is whether our people are prepared for this. AIDS was considered to be a homo-plague and the hunt was on for a scapegoat in the light of the fatal implication of the disease. At present we are in the strategic phase where we all realize that it will be of no avail to scare people with the ominous threat of AIDS AIDS destroys the optimism of our achievement ethics. This exposure of the culture of optimism is also an exposure of the so-called 'human basic fear which accuses Christianity that their concept of sin is a damper on man's search for liberation and basic need to be freed from all Imitation. AIDS is also a test for our ecclesiastical genuineness and the sincerity of our mission sensibility. It poses the question: How unconditional is Christian love? Is there room for the AIDS sufferer in the community of believers, despite the fact he is an acknowledged homosexual? The question to put to the church is whether the community of believers is an exclusive to put to the koinonia which excludes homosexuals. They may be welcome on principle, but in actual fact are not acceptable to the church community. As South Africa enters the new century, it is clear that the epidemic is not having a measurable impact. However, the impact of AIDS is gradual, subtle and incremental. The author's proposal of what is currently most needed in South Africa is that the little things will make a difference. It's about doing lots of little things better at grassroots level, with the emphasis on doing. There are so many community, churches and NGOs initiatives worth building on and intensifying. One must not underestimate the therapeutic value of working together in small groups to overcome a problem
