Objectives: To provide basic data for oral health policy by identifying the differences in oral health behaviors and conditions among middle-aged people in their 40s and 50s and relating these to their health-related quality of life, and to identify factors affecting health-related quality of life. Methods: In this study, secondary data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were used. Data were gathered from 8,127 participants, of which 2,353 were middle-aged (40-59 years old). Covariance analysis was performed using a complex sample general linear model to investigate the changes in the subjects' health-related quality of life (EQ-5D) according to their general characteristics, oral health behaviors, and oral health status. Results: Oral health behavior was not significantly related to health-related quality of life. In contrast, a higher oral health status (chewing function) was associated with better health-related quality of life. Conclusions: In conclusion, this study suggested a close relationship between oral health status (chewing function) and health-related quality of life. Therefore, it is necessary to recognize the importance of oral health in improving the health-related quality of life of middle-aged people in their 40s and 50s, as well as in informing oral health policies and preventive measures for individuals and communities.

This study investigated purchasing practice and size satisfaction to offer basic data to establish a marketing strategy and produce down-aging clothes for females in their 40s-50s. For the data analysis, crosstabs, factor analysis, and one-way ANOVA were used. The results were as follows; first, middle-aged women were observed to purchase down-aging clothes "to look younger" and not purchase clothes "due to the lack of right sizes." For women who answered to 'not purchase clothes', they also acknowledged that they intended to purchase down-aging clothes in the future if the right size is available. Second, people in their early 40s significantly considered perceptual qualities such as fashion and brand names while people in their late 50s placed the most importance in practicality and wearability. For body shapes, people with overweight body types were found to significantly consider physical performance, practicality, and wearability. Third, the examination of purchase satisfaction levels by age groups showed that younger age groups had high satisfaction level for wear functionality related items that included size and activity however, the late 50s group had the lowest satisfaction level. Middle-aged women purchased clothes to look younger however, they simultaneously wear clothes that are plain and conservative or respectable and graceful. Therefore, the development of products reflect the analysis of designs that can help create a more youthful appearance and women's preferred styles are needed in addition to the establishment of a differentiated sizing system for middle-aged female consumers in the incorporation of the characteristics of middle-aged women's body parts.

Adults in their middle age are being held back by their roles through economic activities, but their rapid retirement and job sharing are adding to their anxiety. Also, it is very important to establish welfare policies for the elderly in the future because it can predict the economic situation in the old age through the economic activities of middle-aged adults. My study analyzed the 6th data of Kreis of the National Pension Research Institute's. The number of people studied is 2,552 employed people aged 40 or over 64 across the country. According to the analysis, there were more men than women. There were many high school graduates and 50s. There were many people who had spouses and who lived in the province. Wage workers represented 53.1% of the total. The lower the age, the higher the level of education, the higher the number of wage earners. Only 29% of standard workers and 30.8% of regular workers were employed. There were many economically unstable middle-aged adults. Economic instability in the middle age requires social attention because it can lead to poverty in old age. Therefore, measures should be taken to ensure stable jobs for middle-aged adults, whose spending increases more than their income.

한 부모 가족은 2000년 이후로 증가하였는데 50대의 이혼율의 급증과 40대와 50대 남성의 사망률 증가와도 관련이 있다. 한 부모 중년 여성가장은 생의 발달 과정이라는 시기와 맞물려 자기실현의 의식화 과정이 드러나는 시기에 속한다. 이러한 측면에서 한 부모 중년여성가장의 GIM을 통한 자기실현의 과정을 연구할 필요성이 있다. 이에 본 연구는 2018년 9월부터 2020년 6월까지 4명의 한 부모 중년 여성가장을 연구 참여자로 선정, 10~11회기의 GIM을 진행하여 다음과 같은 결론이 도출되었다. 첫째, 한 부모 중년 여성가장이 GIM을 통해 경험한 심상을 신체, 감정, 기억사고, 감각의 4개 하위 구성 요소로 분류하고, 8개의 의미단위 요소를 46개로 범주화하였으며, 152개의 의미단위를 도출하였다. 둘째, GIM을 통해 경험된 자기실현 과정은 참여자들에게 그림자와 페르소나, 자기라는 원형상으로 나타났다. 참여자들은 GIM 안에서 현재 가족관계의 부정적인 감정을 언어로 표현하고 수동적인 자신의 심상 안에서 자신의 생각을 적극적으로 변화시키는 경험을 통하여 그림자의 의식화 과정을 거쳤으며, 긍정적이고 밝았던 자신의 내적인 모습을 재확인하였다. 이들은 부모나 형제들에게 억압되고 소외된 자신의 삶이 착한 딸과 종교인이라는 페르소나에 억눌린 상태와, 분노하는 자신과 타인을 향한 이중적인 사고와 감정을 지니게 된 현재 상태를 연관 지어 경험하며 페르소나의 자각과 재정립을 이루었다. 결론적으로 본 연구를 통해서 다양한 심상의 경험과 음악을 접하며 부정적 사건의 재경험을 이끌어 냄으로써 고유한 자기로 새롭게 탄생하는 본질적인 자기다움의 자기실현과정을 이루는데 의의가 있다

본 연구의 목적은 40~50대 중년에서 두개척추각(CVA), 나이, BMI와의 상관관계를 알아보는 것이다. 신체 건강한 성인 남녀 40~50대 456명을 대상으로 3D 센서를 활용한 자세측정기를 활용하여 전방머리자세를 측정하였다. 연구결과 전체 중년의 CVA는 나이와는 높은 수준의 음의 상관관계가 있고((r=-.937; p<.01), BMI에 대해서는 매우 낮은 수준의 양의 상관관계(r=.056가 있음을 확인하였다. 성별에 따른 연구에서 중년 남성의 CVA는 나이와는 높은 수준의 음의 상관관계가 있었고(r=-.932; p<.01). BMI에 대해서는 매우 낮은 수준의 양의 상관관계(r=.071)가 있었다. 반면 중년 여성의 경우엔 나이에 대해서만 높은 수준의 음의 상관관계(r=.940, p<.01)가 나타났고 BMI에 대해서는 상관관계가 나타나지 않았다. 본 연구는 CVA가 남성과 여성 모두에서 연령과 유의 한 음의 상관관계를 가지고 있지만, BMI와 낮은 수준의 상관관계를 가지고 있음을 시사한다.

This study examined health foods intakes and related variables among the middle aged(150 men and 159 women) in the Jeonbuk region. Health foods were classified into 4 groups including Chinese medicine(CM), toner foods(TF), vitamin or mineral supplements(VMS), and other manufactured health food supplements(MHFS). The number of people taking health foods were higher for those in their 50's than in their 40's. The consumption rate of TF in men was the highest among health foods, this result had significance. The reasons for taking health foods were recovery from fatigue, supplement of nutrients and making smooth body activity in general, but TF was used to increase of vigor. The consumption rate of health foods was a little different according to social-economic factors, namely, the consumption rate of CM was higher in people in rural than urban areas, those who graduated from middle school than university, blue color & self-employed as opposed to housewives and service workers, low level income than high level income, and Buddhism and no religion than Christian. The consumption rate had a correlation with the habits of smoking, alcohol drinking and exercise ; namely, the consumption rate of CM was higher than VMS and MHFS on smokers and alcohol drinkers. The more the frequency of exercise, the higher the consumption rate of TF, but the duration of the exercise was not correlated. This study suggests that middle aged people need nutritional education for the right recognition and selection of health foods and to consider the nature of each type of health foods.
