Objectives: This study examined the Korean elderly's dietary intake status, subjective health-related perception and chronic disease prevalence among age groups. Associations of dietary quality with subjective health-related perception and chronic diseases were also examined. Methods: Based on data from the 7th National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, a total of 3,231 elderly were selected and categorized into 4 age groups of '65 ~ 69', '70 ~ 74', '75 ~ 79' and 'over 80'. Nutrient intakes, proportions of those with insufficient nutrient intakes, Korean Healthy Eating Index (KHEI), some subjective health-related perceptions and prevalence of major chronic diseases were compared according to the age groups. Differences in the subjective health-related perceptions and odds ratios of the chronic diseases according to the quartile levels of KHEI within the same age group were analyzed. Results: With the increase of age, several nutrient intakes (P < 0.001) and KHEI scores significantly decreased (P < 0.01). In women, activity restriction increased (P < 0.05), and EQ-5D score decreased with age (P < 0.001). Prevalence of hypertension (P < 0.0001), hypercholesterolemia (P < 0.05) and anemia (P < 0.01) significantly increased, while hypertriglyceridemia (P < 0.01) significantly decreased only in men. Obesity prevalence decreased, while underweight prevalence increased (P < 0.05). Subjective health status, EQ-5D score and PHQ-9 score significantly improved as KHEI score increased in certain age groups of women (P < 0.05). Odds ratio of hypercholesterolemia significantly increased with the increase of KHEI score in 65 ~ 69-year-old women. However, hypertension and anemia significantly decreased with the increase of KHEI score in 75 ~ 79-year-old women (P < 0.05). Conclusions: The study findings suggest that nutrition management and policy for the Korean elderly need to apply a segmented age standard that can better reflect their dynamic characteristics.

This study was carried out to investigate the perception, preference and usage of Korean festival foods of women according to age in Busan. The survey was conducted from October 15, 2012 to November 30, 2012 using questionnaires and the data were analyzed with the SPSS program. In general, younger women (20~30 years old) had a lower interest in Korean festival foods than slightly older women (40~50 years old). Most of women over 40 years of age prepared Korean festival foods at home, but many who were in their 20's (45.9%) and 30's (41.1%) obtained their foods from family and relatives. Overall, 62.5% of the subjects wanted to inherit Korean festival food from family and relatives. The dissemination of information and recipes of Korean festival foods were needed for succeeding to Korean festival foods. The taste score was significantly lower for women in their 20's compared to those over 40. Women under 40 reported a lower ease of cooking compared to women over 50. Tangguk (4.93) on Seollal showed the highest perception degree in the order of Namul (4.91), Tteokguk (4.90), and Sikhye (4.90). Jeon, Yaksik, Sikhye, and Gangjeong were the most highly preferred in every group. The preference degree of Pajeon was significantly higher in women under 40 than in those over 60. Tteokguk and Tangguk were more highly preferred in women in their 30's and 40's compared to the other groups. There was a significant positive correlation between preference for festival food and education level, degree of knowledge, degree of interest, will for inheritance, and will for learning (P<0.01). In conclusion, festival foods rich in local tradition should be developed, publicized and used to educate others. The simplification of cooking methods and the development of processed foods are needed to pass on the traditional food culture of Busan.

Background: Administering anesthesia in dentistry can be distressing for patients, especially those with dental fear and anxiety. Needle pain during local anesthesia is a common concern in intraoral procedures. This study aimed to compare pain perception in 4-6-year-old children following intraoral dental injections with 26- and 31-gauge needles. Methods: Fifty healthy children were divided according to age into Group I (N = 25; 4-5 years) and Group II (N = 25; 5-6 years). Each group was further subdivided according to the needle gauge as follows: Group IA (26 gauge), Group IB (31 gauge), Group IIA (26 gauge), and Group IIB (31 gauge). Using a lottery method, the gauge of the needle to be used at the first visit for local anesthesia administration was selected. Children's reactions to pain were evaluated using a Modified Behavioral Pain Scale. Immediately after administration of local anesthesia, pain perception was evaluated using the Faces pain rating scale. In the subsequent visit, another needle gauge was used to administer local anesthesia, and the previously described evaluations were performed. At the third appointment, the child was shown both syringes and asked to choose one of the syringes they preferred, and the choice was noted. Results: When local anesthesia was administered using a 31-gauge needle, pain perception was similar between the two groups. In group II, the children demonstrated significantly higher arm and leg movements (P = 0.001). However, the difference was significant in group I alone (P < 0.001). Conclusion: Irrespective of age, anesthesia with a 31-gauge needle resulted in significantly lower pain perception than anesthesia with a 26-gauge needle.

본 연구의 목적은 손자녀 돌봄의 행위와 그것이 지속되는 유형이 조부모의 노후부양관에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 살펴보는 것이다. 특히, 본 연구에서는 돌봄이 지속되는 유형을 미 돌봄, 일시 돌봄, 지속 돌봄의 세 가지로 구분하여 분석에 투입함으로써 그 논의의 심도를 더하고자 하였다. 연구결과, 손자녀를 돌보는 조부모가 그렇지 않은 조부모에 비해 노후에 자신의 성인 자녀와의 동거를 더 선호하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 돌봄 지속 유형에 대한 결과에서도 두 시기 동안 한 번도 손자녀 돌봄을 수행하지 않은 조부모에 비해 한 시기의 일시 돌봄을 행한 조부모와 두 시기 모두 돌봄을 제공한 지속 돌봄의 조부모 모두 자녀와의 동거를 더 선호하는 것으로 나타났다. 결과 중 흥미로운 점은 지속 돌봄을 행한 조부모가 일시 돌봄을 수행한 조부모보다 자녀와의 동거를 더 선호한다는 것이다. 이는 손자녀 돌봄을 행하고 있는 조부모가 그들이 제공하는 돌봄 서비스를 이후 자신의 부양을 위한 보험적 성격의 자원으로 인식하고 있을 가능성이 있음을 보여주는 결과이다. 또한 공적 영역의 역할이 미흡한 한국 사회에서 가족이 그 구성원들의 욕구 충족을 위해 상호 호혜적인 관계를 통해 효율적이고 유연하게 대응하고 있음을 보여주는 결과이기도 하다. 본 연구는 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 이론적 함의를 제시하였다.

In this study, the researchers evaluate the hypothesis that the reaction time (RT) in the brain is largely dependent on age and gender. The researchers tested English and Korean words using two types: reading as visual stimuli, and listening as auditory stimuli. The E-Prime program installed in functional magnetic resonance imaging (f-MRI) was used. There are 136 Korean subjects in three groups: 30 children (5th and 6th grade elementary school students), 76 young adults (college students), and 30 adults (35-53 years old). In the listening test, the variation for the two languages was different among the three age groups, regardless of gender, whereas the data did not show meaningful differences in the reading test. The findings will provide some meaningful information regarding perception and acquisition of a foreign language.

본 연구는 연령주의와 연령통합이 각 세대별로 세대갈등인식에 미치는 영향력을 확인하고, 세대갈등을 줄이기 위해 어떠한 노력들이 진행되어야 하는가에 대해 탐색하고자 진행되었다. "한국의 고령화 사회에 대한 인식조사" 자료를 사용하였으며, 총 1,000명의 조사대상자들을 인구 비율에 따른 가중치를 적용한 후 청년층 476명, 중년층 369명, 노년층 155명의 3개의 연령집단으로 구분하였다. 각 집단의 세대갈등인식의 차이, 연령주의 관련 변수와 연령통합 관련 변수가 세대갈등인식에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위해 ANOVA와 다중회귀분석을 사용하였다. 분석결과, 각 연령집단별로 세대갈등인식에는 차이가 없었으나, 세대갈등인식에 영향을 미치는 요인에는 차이가 있었다. 모든 연령집단에서 연령주의 관련 변수 중 연령차별 심각성 인식이 세대갈등인식에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 즉 연령차별을 심각하게 받아들일수록 세대 간 갈등이 높은 것으로 인식하는 것으로 분석되었다. 본 연구는 세대갈등인식이 연령 그 자체에서 기인하는 인식과 편견들로부터 시작될 수 있음에 주목하고 연령주의와 연령통합이 세대갈등인식에 미치는 영향과 관련성을 탐색하였다는 점에서 의의가 있다.

The purposes of this study were to examine the correlations of children's competencies perceived by fathers and mothers, and to investigate differences of children's competencies in relations to characters of the children and that of the parents. The subjects were 225 pairs of father-mother of 7 and of 12 year old children in Daejon. The major findings were as follows. (1) Children's competencies perceived by fathers and mothers were positively correlated with each other. (2) The gender of child affected much on father-perceived esthetic and musical competencies, and on mother-perceived responsible, intellectual, esthetic, and musical competencies. Child's age also had a great effect on father- and mother-perceived esthetic competencies of child. (3) There were no significant differences in children's competencies in relations to characters of parents except in father-perceived responsible competence by fathers' age and in intellectual competencies by income, and in mother-perceived social competences by mothers' job.
