PURPOSE: This study examined the specific clinical risk factors in middle-aged men with age-related loss of skeletal muscle mass (ALSMM). METHODS: The present research analyzed the data from a cross-sectional study of 1,564 community-dwelling participants aged between 40 to 49 years old. The participants were screened for ALSMM. The study examined various risk factors, including age, height, weight, body mass index, waist circumference, skeletal muscle mass index, smoking and drinking status, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, fasting glucose levels, and triglyceride and cholesterol levels. RESULTS: The risk factors of ALSMM were height, body mass index, waist circumference, skeletal muscle mass index, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, drinking status, fasting glucose, and triglyceride levels (p < .05). The weight, triglyceride, and smoking status variables were non-significant (p > .05). CONCLUSION: The risk factors for ALSMM among community-dwelling adults were determined. These results are expected to contribute to the existing literature on ALSMM and provide potential risk factors associated with the development of ALSMM in middle-aged males.

Objective : There is accumulating data that cardiovascular diseases, including hypertension, cerebro-vascular accident, coronary heart disease, relate to atherosclerotic changes. Increased serum levels of lipids could play a role in these circumstances. the SDPTG(the second derivative of photoplethysmogram waveform) is noninvasive methods for evaluating the pulse wave and is correlated with age and other risk factors for atherosclerosis. Methods : To study the effects of serum lipid levels on the SDPTG in the middle-age adults, data on serum lipid levels and the SDPTG were collected in 80 healthy middle age with varying serum lipid concentrations. Biological vascular age was assessed using the SDPTG. the SDPTG consists of an a, b, c, and d wave in systole and an e wave in diastole; an SDPTG aging index(Al) was calculated as (b-c-d-e)/a. Results : Serum triglyceride, total cholesterol, total lipid, phospholipid, HDL cholesterol levels were respectively and significantly correlated with SDPTG Al. Serum lipid levels and blood pressure are age-dependent and the SDPTG is blood pressure-dependent. Restricting analysis to age and blood pressure yield strong positive correlations between serum triglyceride, total lipid levels and SDPTG Al, but no correlations between serum total cholesterol, phospholipid levels and SDPTG Al. Conclusion : The results of this study suggest that preventive acupuncture programs or herbal medications for reducing serum lipid, especially triglyceride, levels in middle-age should include a evaluation of biological vascular aging with the second derivative of photoplethysmogram waveform.

The findings from the analysis showed that the level of retirement planning was significantly associated with gender, age, education level, employment status, monthly family income, monthly expenditure on spending to support parents, and perceived household economic condition. When the samples were divided by sex, the results showed that the perceived household economic condition was the most significant factor for both men and women's level of retirement planning. Age and education level were the significant factors for women's level of retirement planning but not for men's. Logistic regression was used to analyze whether middle-aged people made financial preparation for old age. For the whole sample, whether or not a person was a regular employee, monthly family income, monthly expenditure on supporting parents, perceived household economic condition, and retirement planning were significant variables in determining financial preparation. For men, whether or not a person was a regular employee, monthly family income, perceived household economic condition, and retirement planning were significant factors, for women whether or not a person was a regular employee, and retirement planning were the significant factors in determining financial preparation.

This study was conducted to investigate the distribution of bone density according to age and the prevalence rate of osteoporosis I 613, middle-aged women who visited Saint Bundo Hospital in Pusan from June to December, 1997. Mean bone density of lumbar spine(L2L4), and femoral neck of 50-59 years of age was significantly lower than those of 40-49 years of age(p<0.05). At the 60years of age, mean bone density of two sites were less than those of 50-59 years of age. Mean bone density of lumbar spine tin the group of sixties were 20.7% lower than that of group aged under 40 ; For femoral neck, women in their sixties showed 22.6% lower density compared to the women aged under forty. Bone density of ward's triangle of sixties were the least, which was 34.2% lower than that of group aged under 40. Bone density in lumbar spine, femoral neck, trochanter and ward's triangle correlates strongly with each other(p<0.001). The proportion of osteoporosis was 3.6% in the group of forties, 10.9% in the group of fifties and 33.8% for the group aged over 60, which was assessed by bone density of lumbar spine. Bone density of lumbar spine, femoral neck and ward's triangle were positively correlated with height, weight and BMI(p<0.001∼p<0.01), and weight showed highest correlation with the bone density. Forty-four percent of variation in lumbar spine bone density was explained by age and weight.

본 연구는 생애주기별 1인 가구의 걷기 실천과 행복감의 차이를 알아보기 위한 것이다. 2021년 지역사회건강조사 자료를 활용한 이차분석 연구로 수집된 자료는 SPSS 25.0 프로그램을 이용하여 복합표본 통계분석을 시행하였다. 그 결과, 노년기는 청년기와 중년기에 비해 남성보다 여성이 많았고 저학력, 비경제활동, 기초생활수급 및 7시간 미만의 수면이 많았다. 1인 가구의 청년기, 중년기, 노년기 모두 걷기 실천이 걷기 미실천 보다 낮았다. 1인 가구의 행복감 정도는 성인기 6.69 점, 노년기 6.43점, 중년기 6.19점으로 중년기의 행복감이 가장 낮았다. 1인 가구의 청년기, 중년기, 노년기 모두 걷기 실천에 따라 행복감에 유의한 차이가 있었다. 따라서 1인 가구의 행복감을 증진시키기 위해서 걷기 실천을 독려하고 이를 위한 사회적, 복지적 및 정책적인 방안이 마련되어야 할 것이다.

본 연구는 중년기 스트레스 대처와 심리적 안녕감에 미치는 영향 관계에서 긍정적 자동적 사고의 매개 효과를 검증하는 데 목적이 있다. 본 연구를 위해 서울, 경기, 인천에 거주하는 40~65세 미만의 중년을 대상으로 설문조사를 진행하였다. 2023년 3월 9일부터 3월27일까지 총 200개의 설문지가 배포 되었으며, 응답 내용이 부실하거나 신뢰성이 없다고 판단된 13부를 제외하고, 187부의 설문지가 최종 분석에 사용하였다. 상관관계, 요인분석, 구조방정식모형을 실시하였고 매개효과를 검증하기 위해 부트스트래핑(Bootstrapping)을 통해 분석하였다. 분석 결과 중년기 스트레스 대처가 심리적 안녕감에 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었다. 스트레스 대처의 하위요인으로 문제해결 중심, 사회지지 추구, 회피 중심의 영향을 분석한 결과 심리적 안녕감에 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 스트레스 대처는 심리적 안녕감에 직접적인 영향을 미치고 긍정적 자동적 사고의 매개변수를 통하여 심리적 안녕감을 증가시키는 것으로 나타났다. 결과적으로 중년기 스트레스 대처방식의 개인 내.외적 요인과 긍정적 자동적 사고의 완충효과로 중년기의 심리적 안녕감을 향상 시키고 긍정적인 결과를 달성할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
