Purpose: Senior surgeons prefer open gastrectomy (OG), while young surgeons prefer laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the surgical outcomes of LG performed by a senior surgeon who was an expert in OG during his learning period, by comparing them with LGs performed by a young surgeon. Materials and Methods: A senior surgeon performed 50 curative gastrectomies with laparoscopy (LG-S group) from March 2015 to August 2016. A young surgeon's initial 50 LGs comprised the LG-Y group. Clinicopathological characteristics and surgical outcomes were compared between the LG-S and LG-Y groups. Results: D2 lymphadenectomy was more frequently performed in the LG-S group than in the LG-Y group (P=0.029). The operation time and number of retrieved lymph nodes did not significantly differ between the 2 surgeons (P=0.258 and P=0.410, respectively). Postoperative hospital stay and postoperative complication rate were similar between 2 groups (P=0.234 and P=1.000, respectively). Similarly, significant decreases in operation time with increasing case numbers were observed for both surgeons, whereas the number of retrieved lymph nodes increased significantly in the LG-Y group but not in the LG-S group. Conclusions: The LG outcomes when performed by the senior surgeon were comparable to those when performed by the young surgeon, despite performing more extended lymphadenectomies. Senior surgeons who are experts in OG should not refrain from performing LG.

The purpose of this study is to explore social supports for elderly housing and their residential lives in small cities along rural counties of the United States and Canada, and suggest future implications for age-concentrated rural villages in Korea. In this study, five small and medium cities in non-metropolitan counties of California and Ontario province were visited and elderly residents and service experts were interviewed about their perceptions of community integrated social support networks for senior residences. The senior housing complexes were built due to influx of both metropolitan and rural residents seeking warm localities, traffic connections, business purposes in active production areas. and leisure attractions. There are five main social support networks for senior housing issues in these areas. First, the areas are claimed for senior zones and accordingly health industries are encouraged by local authorities. Second, the community is homogeneously constructed as a senior friendly environment and include features such as an RV park and mobile cottages. Third, senior-helping seniors are offered active work through golf-cluster active retirement communities. Fourth, traditional theme production camps are mobilized by the elderly workers. Lastly, an information system is maintained for screening volunteers and for senior abuse prevention. On the other hand, residential lives are occasionally negatively influenced by unbalanced concentrations of elderly facilities such as nursing stations and funeral homes. For the future of Korean rural elderly policies, suggestions are made as follows: first, an integrated urban and rural township that contains attractive places for early retiring people who seek a warm atmosphere in later life needs to be constructed. Second, an integrated model retirement village of urban and rural retirement life needs to be initiated as a measure of evaluating the adaptation process of movers in senior concentrated zones. Third, a cooperation system among governmental ministries needs to be formed with the long- term goal of establishing a traditional rural town of independent housing districts and medical facilities in rural areas. Fourth, productive and active lifestyles need to be maintained as the local community and government develop successful retirement rural villages, by limiting the expansion of nursing related facilities. Finally, generation integrated visiting welfare programs and services need to be further developed for the housing areas especially in the winter, when social integration and activity are relatively low.

본 연구 목적은 노인들의 삶의 만족도에 큰 영향을 미치는 노인 일자리 참여 유형이 우울감과 상관관계가 있는지 규명하고, 우울감이 삶의 만족도에 어떤 관계가 있는지 검증하는 데 있다. 본 연구의 분석 결과는 노인 일자리 참여와 우울감은 정(+)적인 영향이, 우울감은 삶의 만족도와 상관관계가 나타났다. 따라서 노인 공익형 일자리 참여 횟수가 많을수록 삶의 만족도는 낮게, 민간형 일자리 참여시간이 많을수록 삶의 만족도는 높게 나타났다. 또한 공익형 일자리에서는 매개변수인 우울감이 삶의 만족도로 향하는 경로에서 통계적으로 유의하지 않고 매개효과도 없었다. 그러나 민간형 일자리에서는 우울감이 매개변수인 삶의 만족도로 향하는 경로가 유의하여 유의미한 부분매개 효과를 보였다. 이상의 연구 결과를 통해 노년기 삶의 만족도를 높이기 위해서는 노인의 일자리에 대한 민간형 일자리를 창출하는 방안을 정부, 지방자치단체, 기업 등이 함께 노력해야 할 것이다.

As the aging population of the world grows, senior-friendly foods are becoming increasingly popular. In this study, the quality characteristics of domestic commercial senior-friendly foods were investigated and compared to the standard specifications of the Food Code and KS H4897. Herein, 18 samples of domestic commercial senior-friendly foods were utilized to analyze their appearance, physical properties (hardness and viscosity), nutritional value (protein, vitamin, mineral and dietary fiber), digestion rate, and hygiene indicator bacteria. When compared to the hardness standards of the Food Code all 18 samples were found to be satisfactory; however, when compared to the nutritional standard (at least three types of nutrients must be above the minimum), only five products, HG-7, DW-1, PS-1, OH-1 and OH-2, were found to be satisfactory. In addition, when the 18 samples were compared to the Korean Industrial Standard (2020), all 18 products were found to be satisfactory for physical properties and hygiene standards; furthermore, all samples, excluding HB-2, were suitable for nutritional standards (at least one type of nutrient must be above the standard).

본 연구는 최근 사회적으로 이슈가 되고 있는 고령자 교통사고 인적요인을 평가할 수 있는 모형 개발을 목적으로 한다. 본 연구의 수행을 위해 교통안전공단의 운전자적성검사(Simulation, 설문조사) 자료를 수집하였으며, 교통사고영향 모형개발을 위해 포아송 및 음이항 회귀분석(Poisson Regression Analysis)을 실시하였다. 교통안전성 평가모형 분석결과, 고령운전자의 경우 선택적 주의능력, 속도예측능력, 주의배분능력이 교통사고에 유의한 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되었다. 다음으로 비고령운전자의 경우 선택적 주의능력, 속도예측능력, 거리지각능력, 주의배분능력, 주의전환능력이 교통사고와 유의한 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되었다. 이러한 분석결과를 바탕으로 고령운전자와 비고령운전자의 사고발생에 미치는 영향요인은 서로 다르게 나타났으며, 교통사고를 미연에 방지하기 위한 최소한의 방편으로 고령운전자와 비고령운전자를 구분하여 교통사고 예방교육을 실시해야 할 것으로 판단된다.

The concern of senior-friendly foods has been increasing as the population of older in world grows at a rapid pace. This study was conducted to investigate general and nutrition characterization of domestic commercial senior-friendly foods (DC-SFF). The protein content of DC-SFF ranged from 1.1-14.6 g/100 g, which was 1.8-24.3% for male elderly people and 2.2-29.2% for female elderly people based on the daily recommended intake of protein. Total amino acid content of DC-SFF ranged from 1,038-14,539 mg/100 g. Salinity of DC-SFF ranged from not detected-1.9 g/100 g, which was 0.0-49.9% for elderly people based on the daily recommended intake of salinity. Mineral content of DC-SFF ranged from 11.0-414.4 mg/100 g calcium, 14.6-226.5 mg/100 g potassium, 1.9-30.4 mg/100 g magnesium and not detected-4.8 mg/100 g zinc. The fatty acid composition was mainly affected by main material and added oil.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze the space planning of the Senior Center which was supplied recently in apartment complex, to activate the spaces suitable for the changes and needs of the elderly and to explore the complex functions as a community space where intergenerational exchanges are possible. In other words, we sought implications for the physical plan of the district as a community base space and searched for improvement plan. Methods: The survey was conducted by five large private sectors of construction, and 10 of them were built after 2010 in an urban area(Seoul). Literature review, data analysis, field survey and interview were used for the research method. Results: As a result, it was difficult to meet the demands of various elderly people in the space planning, program and operation mode at the current level. In particular, the Baby Boomer generation as an active silver generation will not use the Senior Center. Therefore, based on the results of the survey, we propose some of the following about the Senior Center in apartment complex. First, it is necessary to change the term "the Senior Center" as defined in Article 55-2 of the "Regulations on Housing Construction Standards, etc.". Second, the criteria for setting up the elderly complex space should be presented specifically. Third, it is necessary to secure financial resources in operation and management. Finally, it is necessary to support the residents' organization for community revitalization. Implication: Through the amendment of the laws, it will be possible for various generations to have opportunities to interact by activating the existing community spaces for seniors. It will also contribute to improving the community of apartment complexes.
