The characteristics of Korean women's foot shape were extracted by analyzing foot measurements. 14 measurements were measured from foot outline and 12 conventional measurements were taken on the right foot of 386 Korean women from 18 to 86 years. The results indicate that women's foot shape is changed with aging. The young subjects' feet were longer than the foot length of older subjects. The metamorphosis angle of the women over age 45 was greater than the measurement of women under age 45. The typical Korean women's foot shapes characterized by cluster analysis were (1) small foot with little deformity on great toe, (2) wide foot with big deformity on great toe, and (3) thick and narrow foot with moderate deformity on great toe. These results indicate that the foot height and the degree of deformity on great toe are needed to be considered in developing the shoe last for Korean women. The specialized shoe last needs to be developed for elderly.

본 연구는 기업환경이 급속하게 변화하는 환경에서는 경력적응력이 높은 종사자가 중요하다는 점과, 생산가능인구의 지속 감소로 중고령 근로자의 중요성이 증대되고 있다는 점에 주목하여 중고령 근로자의 이직 의도를 줄이고 업무몰입을 통해 장기근속을 유도하는 방안을 찾고자 하는 것이 주요 목적이다. 주요 연구결과를 살펴보면 우선 중고령 근로자의 경력적응력 수준이 높을수록 이직 의도는 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 경력적응력과 이직 의도 간의 관계에서 업무몰입의 매개효과를 살펴본 결과, 통계적으로 유의한 매개효과를 확인했다. 마지막으로 경력적응력이 업무몰입의 매개를 통해 이직 의도에 미치는 영향관계에서 중고령 근로자에 대한 인식의 조절된 매개효과가 존재하지 않음을 확인했다. 이러한 연구결과를 바탕으로 중고령 근로자 경력적응력 및 업무몰입도 제고를 통한 이직 의도 감소방안과 더불어 중고령 근로자에 대한 고정관념 변화를 위한 기업의 노력 등에 관한 실용적 시사점 등을 제안했다.

본 연구는 정보취약계층인 노인 중 대도시 여성노인의 정보화에 대한 일반적 인식, 인터넷 이용 이유와 태도 및 인터넷 비이용 이유와 태도 등 정보기술 이용 행태와 태도에 대한 탐색적 연구이다. 서울시 소재 노인복지관에 다니는 60세 이상 노인을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하여, 여성노인 343명의 자료를 SPSS 21.0을 사용하여 분석하였다. 그 결과 첫째, 여성노인의 인터넷 이용률은 높은 편이었으며, 연령 등 인구사회학적 특성에 따라 차이가 있었다. 둘째, 전체적으로 여성노인의 정보화 인지도와 기대 등 정보기술에 대한 태도는 긍정적이었다. 셋째, 정보기술 이용자의 이용 동기는 실용적 측면 외에 심리적, 정서적 이유도 컸으며, 정보기술이용 만족도는 비교적 높았다. 마지막으로, 정보기술 비이용자의 경우, 정보화나 정보기술에 대해 무관심층이 많았고, 정보기술 이용에 대해 소극적이었다. 정보기술 비이용 불만족도는 보통 수준이었으나, 정보기술 이용에 대한 기대는 비교적 긍정적이었다. 이 연구결과는 여성노인과 노년기 정보격차와 정보기술의 이용에 관한 이해의 폭을 넓히고, 나아가 노인 정보화 및 노인복지 현장에서 노인, 특히 여성노인을 대상으로 한 프로그램과 정책개발에 기초자료로 활용되길 기대한다.

Purpose: This study was performed to measure expectations regarding aging among community-residing older adults, identify sociodemographic characteristics associated with the level of expectations regarding aging, and examine whether expectations regarding aging were associated with health-promoting behaviors. Methods: Data was collected by using questionnaires of a short version of the Expectations Regarding Aging Survey (ERA-18) and Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile II (HPLP II) from 99 older adults who resided in the community of Kyunggi, Daegu, and Kyungpook province. Results: More than 75% of the participants reported that it was an expected part of aging to have more aches and pains, to become depressed, and to become more forgetful. The mean score of expectations regarding aging was $23.15{\pm}17.80$ (possible range 0-100). The old-old, women, those with less education, less monthly allowance and poor health status had lower expectations regarding aging than other elderly. After controlling for sociodemographic characteristics and perceived health, expectations regarding aging were independently associated with health-promoting behaviors in older adults. Conclusion: The findings demonstrate that older Korean adults have low expectations regarding aging, and expectations regarding aging influence health-promoting behaviors.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to analyze the differences in psychosocial adjustment between younger (age${\leq}50$) and older (age>50) breast cancer survivors, and to explore the role of sociodemographic and disease-related variables in predicting psychosocial adjustment between younger and older breast cancer survivors. Methods: A total of 262 women participated in this study. A self-reported questionnaire, the Psychosocial Adjustment to Illness Scale-Self Report Korean version (PAIS-SR Korean version), was used. Data were analyzed with SAS/WIN 9.1 for descriptive statistics using the t-test, ANOVA, and stepwise multiple regression. Results: The psychosocial adjustment score of younger breast cancer survivors was significantly higher than that of older breast cancer survivors. Significant predictors influencing psychosocial adjustment in younger breast cancer survivors were marital state, menopausal cause, immune therapy, and self-help group, and these predictors account for 48% of the variance in psychosocial adjustment. Significant predictors influencing psychosocial adjustment in older breast cancer survivors were stage of cancer, monthly income, marital state, and menopausal cause. These predictors accounted for 35% of the variance in psychosocial adjustment. Conclusion: The findings indicate the importance of counseling and educational programs to improve the psychosocial adjustment according to breast cancer survivors' age.

Reductions in strength and range of motion in older persons have been associated with decreased functional mobility and risk of falls. The purpose of this research was to investigate the effect of intensive dynamic balance exercise (DBE) during 8 weeks on onset time of medial gastrocnemius and tibialis anterior muscle contraction after perturbation in older women. Thirty subjects were randomly assigned into DBE group or control group. The DBE group participated in 50 minutes 3 days a week for 8 weeks. Surface electromyography (EMG) activity was recorded from the medial gastrocnemius and tibialis anterior muscles of left side. Outcome data were collected both groups at the pre-exercise and post-exercise. Independent t-test and paired t-test were used to determine the statistical difference. Results showed that the passive range of motion and functional reach test were significantly increased in the DBE group than the control group at the post-exercise (p<.05). The onset time of both muscles and discrepancy of onset time significantly reduced in the DBE group than the control group at the post-exercise (p<.05). The onset time of both muscles were significantly reduced in the post-exercise than the pre-exercise in the DBE group (p<.05). The discrepancy of onset time in the DBE group was significantly reduced in the post-exercise than the pre-exercise (p<.05). These findings suggest that intensive dynamic balance exercise for the eight weeks was effective in improving the postural control with older persons.

As in our $20^{th}$ century, the dramatic advance of the science and medical technologies has led the advance of living standards. Even though the elderly people are increasing, the underwear for elderly women is not so various. As getting older, women's body shape is changing. But the most of underwear in the market are designed for the twenties whose body shape and proportion is generally stable. Besides, as the color and material of underwear are designed for young women, the elderly women have a poor choice of the underwear. The results of this study are listed in the following: (a) analyzing the current status of the underwear market for elderly women (b) searching what elderly take inconvenience in underwear, and (c) wearing test for search what elderly take inconvenience in brassier.

Diet quality index DQI) offers a new way of comparing eating habits across populations and across countries. Nutrients and food consumption data from 100 elderly Korean women aged 65 and older were collected in Seoul or Kyunggi-do, Korea by the 24 hour recall method. Diet quality index (DQI) was computed for 1049 elderly women (65 and older) from the 1994-1996 Continuing Survey of Food Intakes by Individuals (CSFII) in the US according to US dietary guidelines, and applied to the diet of elderly Korean women for purposes of comparison. A modified 16-point DQI awarded 2 points each for moderate consumption of fat ($\leq$ 30% energy), saturated fat ($\leq$ 10%), cholesterol ($\leq$ 300 mg/day), sodium ($\leq$ 2400 mg/day), and protein ($\leq$ 100% RDA), adequate intakes of carbohydrate ($\qeq$50% energy) and calcium ($\qeq$ 100% RDA), and plenty of fruits and vegetables ($\qeq$ 5 servings). Criteria were based on US dietary guidelines. Partial scores were given if subjects were close to meeting these cutoff points. Diets with $\leq$ 300 mg cholesterol/day were reported by 97% or the Korean sample and 82% of the American sample, while 90% of the Koreans and 42% of the Americans met the goal of $\leq$ 30% of energy from fat, and 98% of the Koreans and 47% of American met the recommendation of $\leq$ 10% of energy from saturated fat. In contrast, only 8% of the Korean sample met the sodium recommendation of $\leq$ 2400 mg sodium per day, whereas 54% of the American subjects met this goal. The mean DQI scores were 10.1 for the elderly American women and 11.3 for the elderly Korean women. Overall, the elderly Korean diet was more consistent with the US dietary guidelines than the elderly American diet.
