Because of rapid aging, housing stability of elderly household is becoming an important social problem. The population of the elderly people was 11.3% and that of the elderly household was 23.2%, about 407 million, in 2010. Yet, social policies for elderly people are focusing on the household who takes care of the elderly people, not on the elderly headed households. These policies fail to reflect the reality. Housing satisfaction of the elderly household is different based on the tenure type and the satisfaction can be further affected by the types of elderly household within the same tenure group. Thus, strengthening the policies for the elderly headed households as well as differentiating the policies based on the types of household is required in order to meet the needs of the elderly households. For the elderly household living in a rent house in a city, a housing voucher is needed and for the low income elders who own their houses, housing renovation is required. Public housing affects only the residential satisfaction of single elderly households, not for all elderly households probably because public housing does not meet the demand of the elderly households appropriately. Since the elderly households wanting to move is noticeably small, a policy that provides proper facilities within the elders' neighborhood is most necessary. Also, in order to lessen the burden of housing expenses of the elders with low income, a public housing policy, in which 2-3 people living together in one public housing, needs to be examined.

Fall is one of the most intimidating health conditions in elders. Comprehensive assessment is necessary to understand the individual and environmental aspects of the falls such as balancing abilities, depression, and quality of life. The purpose of this study was to compare the balancing ability, depression, and quality of life between elderly fallers and elderly non-fallers. Thirty-two community-dwelling elders (fifteen males and seventeen females between 65 and 83 years old), who have experienced fall on walking during last twelve months, were involved in the elderly fallers group. And twenty-four males and twenty-two females between 65 and 83 years old of community-dwelling elders, who have no experienced fall on walking during last twelve months, were involved in the elderly non-fallers group. Berg balance scale (BBS), timed up and go test (TUG), and functional reach test (FRT), were used to evaluate the ability of the physical balance. 'Beck depression scale in Korean' questionnaire was used to assess the depression. 'Korean version of World Health Organization Quality of Life Assessment Instrument-Bref' questionnaire was used to assess the quality of life. The results were as follows: 1) Balancing abilities measured by the BBS, TUG in the elderly fallers group were meaningfully lower than that of the elderly non-fallers group (p<.05), whereas no significant difference in the FRT was found (p>.05). 2) Depression level in the elderly fallers group was significantly higher than that of the elderly non-fallers group (p<.05). 3) Quality of life in the elderly fallers group was significantly lower than that of the elderly non-fallers group, excluding environment domain (p<.05). Therefore, in order for clinical evaluation of the community-dwelling elders those with reduced balancing ability, it is necessary to evaluate and understand the fall experience, depression, and quality of life.

은퇴한 한국 노인의 주관안녕과 신체건강에 과거 경험한 질병 수, 경제상태 수준, 사회관계 요인들로는 배우자에 대한 만족, 자녀에 대한 만족, 자녀에 대한 기대, 사회적 지원 그리고 개인경험 요인으로는 자존심 욕구의 충족, 종교신앙, 정적정서, 부적정서, 건강행동으로는 음주행동 요인이 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 알아보고자 하였다. 특히 은퇴 전에 종사하였던 직종의 유형에 따라 현재(T1)의 주관안녕 및 신체건강에 영향을 미치는 요인들을 비교해보고 이러한 요인들이 2년 후(T2)의 주관안녕과 신체건강에도 동일한 영향을 미치는지 종단적인 영향력을 확인하고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 2003년(T1)과 2005년(T2)의 조사에 모두 참여한 서울과 춘천지역에 거주하는 65세 이상 노인 1,315명의 자료를 분석하였다. 그 결과, 은퇴노인들 (n=735)이 현재 재직 중인 노인들(n=374)에 비하여 2003년과 2005년 모두에서 과거질병 및 종교신앙 수준이 높았으며, 경제상태, 사회지원, 자존욕구충족, 음주행동, 정적정서, 주관안녕 및 신체건강 지각 수준이 낮았다. 한편 재직 중인 노인 집단과 은퇴한 노인 집단의 2003년 주관안녕과 신체건강을 각각 설명해 보고자 12개 요인들을 단계별로 중다회귀 분석을 실시한 결과, 은퇴노인들의 주관안녕은 재직노인들(63.0%)과 달리 결혼만족과 음주행동 요인이 추가되어 8개 요인이 유의하게 설명하였다(70.5%). 은퇴노인들의 신체건강은 재직노인들(33.7%)과 달리 자녀기대와 음주행동 요인이 추가되어 5개 요인이 유의하게 설명하였다(36.4%). 은퇴노인들의 2년 후 주관안녕은 재직노인들(44.7%)과 달리 결혼만족과 신체건강 요인이 추가되어 5개 요인이 유의하게 설명하였으며(41.8%), 신체건강은 결혼만족, 정적정서 및 부적정서 요인이 추가되어 5개 요인이 26.5%를 유의하게 설명하였다. 은퇴노인 집단들의 경우, 직종별로 세분한 중다회귀 분석 결과도 제시하였다. 끝으로 본 연구의 결과를 논의하고 장래 연구를 위한 시사점을 제안하였다.

고령 사회를 맞이한 우리나라는 노인 스스로 평가한 생활만족도를 통해 삶의 질을 평가하는 것이 중요하게 되었다. 본 연구에서는 노후준비가 생활만족도에 어떻게 영향을 미치는지 분석하고, 사회적지지 및 죽음불안과의 관련성을 검토하고자 한다. 연구방법은 충남의 한 노인복지관을 이용하는 65세 이상 회원을 대상으로한 조사를 통해 확보한 282명의 설문자료를 분석하였으며, 자료 분석은 위계적 다중회귀분석을 통해 노후준비가 생활만족도에 미치는 영향 및 사회적지지 및 죽음불안의 관련성을 검토하였다. 그 결과, 노후준비, 사회적 지지, 죽음불안 각각의 요인은 생활만족도에 유의미한 영향을 미쳤으며, 나아가 노후준비와 사회적지지의 상호작용 효과를 확인하였다. 성공적 노후를 위해 노후준비 정도뿐 아니라 사회적지지와 죽음불안이 관련될 수 있음을 확인하였다.

본 연구는 노인우울증에 대한 사회경제적 지위의 영향력 뿐 아니라 근접요인으로써 건강행태의 영향력을 파악하여 보다 실천적인 함의를 제시하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 일 도시지역의 65세 이상 노인 964명의 자료를 분석에 사용하였고, 노인우울증 진단에는 단축형 노인우울척도(Short Form of Geriatric Depression Scale: SGDS)의 절단점 10점을 사용하였다. 본 연구에서 노인우울증의 유병율($SGDS{\geq}10$)은 22.2%(남성 18.4%, 여성 23.3%)로 나타났다. 로지스틱 회귀분석을 사용하여 노인우울증에 대한 위험요인을 살펴본 결과, 동거가족 수가 적을수록, 의료보호일수록, 교육수준이 낮을수록, 흡연을 지속하고 있을수록, 신체활동이 불충분할수록 노인우울증의 유병율이 유의미하게 높아지는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과를 바탕으로 볼 때 사회경제적 차이를 고려하여 노인우울증 개입을 위한 표적집단을 정해야 하고 더불어 우울증 예방을 위해서는 건강행태 특히 흡연이나 운동에 대한 지역사회 중심의 통합적 개입이 필요하다.

노인은 자녀로부터 일방적으로 지원을 받는 것이 아니라 자녀에게 지원을 하기도 하는 호혜적인 교환을 한다. 이러한 세대간 지원교환의 호혜성은 건강, 경제력 같은 노인의 역량뿐만 아니라 노인이 자녀들과 맺고 있는 관계적 속성에 의해서 다양하게 구조화된다. 호혜성의 다양성이 어떤 요인들에 의해서 결정되는지를 설명하기 위해서 구조화된 설문지를 이용하여 수집된 서울의 65세 이상 노인 730명을 분석하였다. 분석결과는 노부모-자녀의 관계적 속성이 지원교환의 호혜성에 독립적인 영향을 미치고, 자녀와 동거여부, 자녀수, 접촉빈도의 순으로 중요하다. 자녀와 동거하지 않는 노부모는 신체적 지원에서는 자녀로부터 지원을 받는 경향을 보이지만, 경제적 지원에서는 오히려 자녀를 지원하는 양상을 보인다. 자녀수와 접촉빈도는 노인이 자녀로부터 지원을 받도록 하는 쪽으로 영향을 미친다. 노인이 선호하는 아들유무는 커다란 관련성이 없는 것으로 나타났다. 노인의 역량 중에서 건강상태는 신체적 지원은 물론이고 정서적 및 재정적 지원교환에도 모두 결정적으로 중요하지만, 경제력은 재정적 지원교환에만 관련되어 있다. 세대지원의 호혜성에 가장 결정적인 요인은 노부모의 건강 상태이며, 노부모는 부모로서의 역할과 의무로 받아들여 자녀에 대한 지원을 계속하게 된다.

Objective: This experiment is to study how elderly group and their various lifestyles interact with health functional foods, according to their selection behavior. Different lifestyles will be observed closely, as well as how different health conditions and consumer involvements will affect critical decision making in selecting health functional foods. Method: Theories and discoveries from original advanced research were compared parallel to the new study. Results: First, cluster analysis and exploratory analysis were performed amongst different elder lifestyles. Lifestyle exploratory analysis was used for healthy, unique, leisure, and economical-style elders. Cluster analysis was used for material trend oriented, health oriented, complacent oriented-style elders. Health Functional Foods' selection trait Exploratory Factor Analysis showed that product's originality (function, uniqueness, specialty, compatibility, distributor, expiration date), quality (amount, daily dose, visual representation, accessibility, portability, natural ingredients), and popularity (product container, brand image, taste and smell, advertised product, domestic or import, well-known function) were the three main causes. Secondly, the amount of benefits for the elderly group health lifestyle were affected by 'Interest in health', 'Notability of the health functional food', and 'Functionality approved mark'. Specifically, the importance of, 'Interest in health', 'Notability of health functional food', and 'Functionality approved mark' were noticeably high within health oriented elders. Lastly, after examining the data from elder lifestyle's relationship with health functional food selection trait, all three different results showed equal importance. If you closely examine material trend oriented elderly group, selection trait showed distinctively high regards in 'Fundamental Attribute', 'Typical Attribute', and 'Cognitive Attribute'. Health oriented elders showed their distinctively high regards in 'Natural Attribute', and less consideration in 'Typical Attribute' and 'Cognitive Attribute'. Complacent oriented-style elderly group showed less focus on 'Fundamental Attribute', and even less in 'Typical Attribute', and 'Cognitive Attribute'. Health oriented elderly group concluded with above data from the fact that they showed most importance and involvement in health beneficial products that are scientifically proven. Material trend oriented elderly group showed balanced traits in their concluded data, showing that they prefer function, safety, as well as the brand image and their reputation. Also, they consider the products' outer elements, such as design and product name, in order to sense inner functions. Conclusion: So, Silver Business corporations must develop products to fulfill the market demands, and strategize marketing plans to better target the correct audience.
