지능정보기반의 신기술 사회변화 속에서 중년의 건강에 대한 연구는 우울과 안녕감 등 정신적인 건강 등에 대한 연구와 더불어, 인지건강에 대한 구체적인 척도로 구성된 연구의 필요성도 요구된다. 이 연구는 인지건강의 하위영역으로 사회적 정신적 신체적 인지건강의 내용을 포함하여 사용하였다. 본 연구에서는 중년여성을 대상으로 자원봉사활동이 인지건강에 얼마나 긍정적으로 작용하는 지를 알아보고자 하였다. '인지건강이 자원봉사활동을 통해서 중년여성에게 얼마나 바람직하게 작용할 것인가?'라는 문제를 중심으로 40세에서 59세까지의 중년여성을 대상으로 조사를 진행하였다. 자원봉사활동이 중년여성의 인지건강에 긍정적으로 작용되는지에 대해 검토하고 중년여성의 바람직한 삶의 유지와 노년의 건강한 삶을 영위하는데 필요한 자원봉사활동의 의미와 영향요소 등을 중심으로 분석하였다. 특히 중년여성의 자원봉사활동이 다양하고 적극적으로 이루어져야하는 필요성을 인식조사를 통해 검증하여 도출하였다.

우리나라의 고령인구는 빠른 속도로 증가하고 있으나, 고령친화식품에 관한 연구는 부족한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구는 현 고령자와 향후 고령친화식품 구매 가능성이 큰 중장년층을 대상으로 설문을 진행 및 분석하여 고령 친화 Home Meal Replacement(HMR) 식품개발의 기초자료를 제시하고자 하였다. 연구 결과 HMR 구매 경험은 중장년층이 높았으며, 간단 조리 후 먹는 음식을 선호하는 응답자가 많았고, 오프라인을 통한 구매 비율이 더 높게 나타났다. HMR 선택속성 요인은 5개로, 식생활 라이프스타일은 4개로 나뉘었으며, 군집분석 결과 고관여, 중관여, 저관여 집단으로 분류되었다. Napping^® 분석 결과, 제품을 HMR과 밀키트, 국물이 맑은 제품과 진한 제품으로 구분하고 있음을 확인하였다. 본 연구결과는 고령친화 HMR 식품개발 시 차별적인 방안을 제시하는 데 도움이 될 것이라 기대한다.

One of the most important factors that affect a person's risk of injury in a motor vehicle crash is the age of the person. This study investigates the characteristics of crash injuries among young, middle-aged and older drivers and occupants. Based on the comprehensive claim data from automobile insurance from 2000 to 2007, this study examines in great detail the drivers and occupants injury body regions and severity by age in car-to-car frontal crashes. It has been shown that elderly drivers and occupants suffer more injuries at a chest region compared to the middle-aged group. This research calls attention to the need for design to make vehicles more protective for older drivers in car-to car frontal crashes.

Due to the increase in life expectancy the family life of recent days has been through significant changes including prolonged relationships among different generations within families and changing roles and relationships. From the perspective of the care for elderly parents middle-aged children's filial responsibility habe been examined. Based on balanced reciprocity between middle-aged children and their aging parents each party is able to allow each other to respond needs and to respect rights. It is assumed that middle-aged children's moral development may be useful to discriminate levels of filial responsibility from filial obligation to filial maturity. This assumption challenges previous beliefs that filial obligation and filial maturity are the same,.

The purpose of this study was to investigate food habits, nutritional knowledge, nutritional risk factors, health-related lifestyle, health status and dietetic therapy in Korean middle-aged and elderly outpatients taking supplements. A cross-sectional survey was conducted from July to December in 2001. Subjects were 1702 (male 731, female 971) age-related chronic disease outpatients aged over 50 years. Data was collected using a standardized Questionnaire by in-person interview and analyzed by SPSS system. The subjects with supplement had significantly lower nutritional knowledge, higher nutritional risk factors, undesirable lifestyle, and lower self-reported health status compared to those without supplement. However, the subjects with supplement had desirable (cod habits and more concern about health compared to those without supplement. Age-related chronic disease group with supplement had significantly undesirable food habits, lower nutritional knowledge and higher nutritional risk factors compared to control group with supplement. Age-related chronic disease group without supplement had significantly desirable food habits, higher nutritional knowledge, lower self-reported health status and higher stress compared to control group without supplement. Therefore, these results may provide basic information for proper supplement of Korean middle-aged and elderly outpatients.

Purpose: This study is to conduct usability evaluations from the perspective of developing comfort-shoes for the middle-aged and elderly to identify key factors and derive implications for optimal comfort-shoes production. Research design, data, and methodology: A total of 10 middle-aged and elderly women in their 50s and 60s were selected as eligible for the rescue. For data collection, the study was conducted in a Gang Survey, where pre-explanations, shoes test, and interviews were conducted. The collected data were analyzed in a total of four stages. In step 1, the contents obtained through interviews with the subjects were recorded in text, organized and analyzed systematically, and in step 2, unnecessary vocabulary, sentences, and overlapping opinions were eliminated. In step 3, we classified areas around key functions and carried out categorization tasks. Finally, in Step 4, the results and implications of the study were derived by classifying each usability evaluation shoe as positive and negative text around categorized data. Results: There are a total of seven factors for comfort-shoes usability evaluation, which are categorized as cushion, fitting, stability, flexibility, lightweight, comfort, and pressure. Positive/negative factors for the derived usability evaluation factors were shown in the form of a positive-centered, negative-centered, and positive-mixed mix for each of the four products. Positive-focused products are VA products, which are seven times more positive than negative factors. Negative-centered products are CL and SA products, which are five times more negative than positive factors. Positive mixing was a CA product with a ratio of 1:1. Text-based usability evaluations allow us to proceed with analysis based on more scientific data rather than simply listening to opinions and judging by comments. Conclusions: The study discussed implications of developing comfort-shoes for middle-aged consumers and future directions were discussed.

본 연구는 중장년층의 노후준비도와 삶의 만족도의 영향관계를 분석하고, 노후준비도와 삶의 만족도 간의 영향관계에서 자기효능감의 매개효과를 검증하고자 수행되었다. 이를 위해 서울 경기지역의 중장년층을 대상으로 설문조사를 하였으며, SPSS 25.0을 활용하여 빈도분석, 상관관계 분석, 위계적 회귀분석 등을 실시하였다. 분석결과, 자기효능감, 사회적 노후준비, 신체적 노후준비, 경제적 노후준비, 학력 순으로 삶의 만족도에 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 인구학적 특성보다는 심리적 요인이 중장년층의 삶의 만족도에 더 큰 영향요인임을 확인하였다. 또한, 자기효능감은 노후준비도와 삶의 만족도의 영향관계에서 매개효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이를 바탕으로 중장년층의 삶의 만족도를 올리기 위한 대안과 본 연구의 한계점 및 후속연구에 대해 논의 하였다.

This study aimed to explore the moderating effect of family support resources on family caregiver burden as it in turn affects psychological well-being among middle-aged working mothers. Through purposive sampling, the study recruited 325 married employed mothers age 40-50 years who live in Seoul and who have more than 1 child and living parents or parents-in-law. The investigation was performed April 1-30, 2018, with the participants sampled from companies, schools and religious organizations in Seoul. The collected data were statistically analyzed using the SPSS 21.0 package. The results of this study were as follows: First, of all categories of caregiver burden, the score for burden of caring for elderly parents was 3.01 (SD = .81), slightly higher than the median of 3 points; childcare burden scored 3.16 (SD = .73), also higher than the median value; and family support resources scored 3.40 (.89), higher than the median of 3. Overall psychological well-being rated 3.25 (SD = .56). Second, health and educational level, the burdens of caring for elderly parents and childcare and family support resources were found to significantly affect psychological well-being. Third, family support resources, a moderating variable, were found to significantly moderate and ease the effect of childcare burden on middle-aged working mothers' psychological well-being. Furthermore, in the analysis of their moderating effect, family support resources were confirmed to positively affect psychological well-being by moderating childcare burden experienced by middle-aged working mothers.

This research examines classifying and characterizing breast form's classification on elderly women, 242 subjects from 55 to 75 years of age participated. 27 direct anthropometric measurement were applied to classify the breast typesl. We analyzed measurement data using factor analysis, cluster analysis, analysis of variance. The results of the study were as follows. 1) 55-64 aged group was taller and higher than 65-79 aged group. Typical breast form in 55-64 aged group was more obese than breast form in 65-79 aged group. 2) We extracted 5 factors(obesity of breast, height of breast, height of breast items, location & size of breast, width of upper chest & shouldet length, height of breast & lower length of nipples) from total items through factor analysis. 3) Through cluster analysis, we categorized 3 clusters. Namely, type 1; characterized the best slender type, type 2; characterized middle sized type, type 3: characterized obesity type. Type 2 is the typical type on elderly women.
