Globally, consumers' enormous and increasing appetite for meat is one of the biggest causes of climate change because livestock industry emits more greenhouse gas than transportation. The purpose of this study is to analyze consumer awareness about the impact of meat consumption on sustainability in response to climate change. Based on the theory of planned behavior, the attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, prior knowledge, and risk perception variables were analyzed to evaluate the impact of climate change awareness over consumer behavior on meat consumption. Major findings are as follows: consumers were aware of climate change but has made few changes to their meat consumption. In addition, changes in meat consumption were found to be caused by health safety concerns, such as disease outbreaks. Significant variables related to meat consumption patterns associated to climate change impacts were household income, age, attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control, and prior knowledge. These results suggest some implications for policy. There is a need for public relations and education to make the public aware of and better understanding of link between climate change and diet. Also, government should make efforts to raise awareness of mitigation of climate change such as comprehensive food labels which are identifying lesser impacts on climate and better dietary guideline instructions which would include coping with climate change.

This study examines the human capital, economic capital, and psychological factors that influence social participation among the elderly in the future. The data, 'Survey on the Elderly in 2014', were collected from 'The Ministry of Health & Welfare' and the 'Korea Institute for Health and Social Affairs'. The samples included 10,279 elderly people who were over 65 years of age. Multiple regression analysis was used to analyze the research model. The findings are as follows. First, the highest participation awareness level of all was for the hobbies and leisure activities, and the lowest participation awareness level was for volunteer activities. Second, human capital factors such as age, education level, and health status, and economic capital factors such as household consumption expenditure and standard of living signigicant affected social participation awareness among the elderly. Psychological factors such as self-esteem, depression, and the subjective age of becoming elderly, also affected the social participation awareness. Third, awareness differed by sex. In particular, age and depression were restrictions of social participation awareness that were more common among elderly women than among elderly men, although single women were more likely to participate in religious, learning, and hobby and leisure activities. In contrast, chronic diseases and household consumption expenditures were more restrictive of social participation awareness among elderly men compared to elderly women. These results show that human capital, economic capital, and psychological factors heavily influence the social participation awareness of the elderly, although the degree of influence of these factors differs by sex.

본 연구는 국민건강영양조사 제4기 2차년도(2008) 원시자료를 이용하여 19세 이상 성인 6,094명을 대상으로 주관적인 구강건강인식과 관련된 본인인지 구강건강상태와 구강건강염려정도를 파악하고, 기존의 역학지수인 DMFT 지수, CPI뿐만 아니라 FS-T 지수, T-Health 지수를 포함한 다양한 구강보건지수를 이용하여, 주관적인 구강건강인식과 객관적인 구강보건지수와의 차이를 분석하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 주관적인 구강건강인식 관련하여 본인인지 구강건강상태는 49.4%로가 '나쁘다'라고 응답하였으며, 구강건강염려정도는 62.6%가 '신경 쓰이는 편이다'라고 응답하여 가장 높게 나타났다. 2. 인구사회학적 특성에 따른 구강보건지수에서는 현재 흡연여부를 제외한, 성별, 연령, 교육수준, 월평균가구소득, 간식횟수, 칫솔질횟수에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다(p<0.000). 3. 인구사회학적 특성에 따른 본인인지 구강건강상태에서는 성별, 연령, 교육수준에서는 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았으며, 월평균가구소득, 현재흡연여부(p<0.000), 간식횟수(p<0.018), 칫솔질횟수(p<0.003)에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다. 4. 인구사회학적 특성에 따른 구강건강염려정도는 성별과 현재흡연여부에서 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았으며, 연령(p<0.003), 교육수준, 월평균가구소득, 간식횟수, 칫솔질 횟수에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다(p<0.000). 5. 주관적 구강건강인식과 구강보건지수에서는 본인인지 구강건강상태에서는 모든 지수에서 유의하지 않았으며, 구강건강염려수준에서 FS-T지수(p<0.003), T-Health 지수(p<0.011), CPI (p<0.017)에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다. 이상의 연구결과로, 구강건강인식과 관련하여 구강건강상태를 파악하고자 할 때에는 본인인지구강건강상태보다는 구강건강염려정도에 대해 질문할 때 더 유용할 것으로 사료되며, 향후 단문항에 의한 주관적 구강강건인식에 의한 자기평가보다는 구강건강관련 심리요인, 자신의 구강에 대한 심미적인 요인 등 다양한 지표들이 포함되어 있는 다문항적인 주관적 구강건강인식척도가 개발되어야 할 것으로 사료된다.

Methods: Subjects were inducted during a 14-day survey of 104 people over the age of 50 in Korea and were administered a questionnaire consisting of 14 questions about their general characteristics and another 14 questions about tele-physical therapy. Results: The general characteristics of the participants (participants' gender, whether they were single or married, number of cohabiting families, final education, major, job, physical therapy experience, tele-physical therapy experience, presence of a physical therapy worker among relatives, subjective health awareness, chronic disease conditions if any, frequency of drinking, and smoking) were investigated. Among the perceptions of the subjects about tele-physical therapy, the score of 'awareness' was the lowest, and that of 'resolving restrictions on hospital visits' was the highest. In an analysis of the correlation between perceptions and needs, there was a significant correlation with factors other than 'awareness' and 'information protection' factors. The regression analysis of necessity and factors revealed that the awareness of necessity increased as the intention to use, health improvement, and time efficiency improved. Conclusion: These findings presented the perception and necessity of tele-physical therapy for adults in their 50s or older in Korea. These results will help confirm the demand for tele-physical therapy in this age group in Korea and the need to improve the available physical therapy services.

Methods: The data of "Health and lifestyle Survey (2019)" conducted by the National Youth Policy Institute were analyzed after receiving approval though the website. A total of 5,311 middle and high school students were included in the analysis. Descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA, pearson correlation, and multiple regression analysis were executed using SAS 9.4. Results: The mean score of subjective feeling of happiness was 6.92±0.56 out of 10. From the univariate analysis, the more positive the perception of the physical school environment was, such as classrooms, restrooms, exercise facilities, catering facilities, health facilities, other school facilities and school uniform, the higher the subjective feeling of happiness was (p for all <.001).
