The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of physical activity on women's health. I conducted literature reviews for meta-analyses and randomized controlled trials with the target diseases including cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, cancers osteoporosis, and pregnancy outcomes. Women who were active had less total mortality and smaller incidence of hypertension, coronary heart diseases, and stroke. Exercise was better than drug therapies in preventing diabetes and effective in preventing colon and breast cancers. Exercise can reduce the risks of falling injury in elderly women. Walking during pregnancy was not harmful to the mothers and their infants, and desirable to prevent the complications of pregnancy or weight gain after pregnancy. Physical activity at work and leisure-time showed similar effects on women's health. Based on these results, moderate-intensity physical activity should be recommended to all women, Resistive, muscle strength, and balance-training exercise also can be recommended. Doctors' advices are effective to make women exercise, especially using handouts or motivational interviewing techniques. It is desirable to recommend to peform other health promotion measures together such as smoking cessation, weight control and diet control.

Changes in a person's health affect one's lifestyle and work activities. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), abnormal activity is growing faster in people aged 60 or more than any other age group in almost every country. This trend steadily continues and expected to increase further in the near future. Abnormal activity put these people at high risk of expected incidents since most of these people live alone. Human abnormal activity analysis is a challenging, useful and interesting problem among the researchers and its particularly crucial task in life and health care areas. In this paper, we discuss the problem of abnormal activities of old people lives alone at home. We propose Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) based model to detect the abnormal behaviors of elderlies by utilizing six simulated action data from daily life actions.

국민연금기금의 복지사업운용은 낮은 수익률이 비판의 대상이 되고 있으며, 매우 낮은 규모에도 불구하고 지속적으로 감소 추세에 있다. 더구나 최근에는 국민연금기금의 복지투자를 포기하고자 하는 주장이 제기되고 있다. 이러한 경향은 국민연금기금의 복지투자에 대하여 논리적 타당성을 확립하지 못한 점과 정책방향의 정립이 미흡한 데에 따른 결과라 할 수 있다. 공적연금으로서 국민연금의 기금운용의 하나로 복지사업에 대한 투자는 세 가지 점에서 논리적 근거를 갖는다. 국가가 복지사업을 모두 책임 질 수 없다는 점에서 기금의 복지투자는 기금운용의 대상에서 제외되지 않는다는 충분조건이 아닌 필요조건으로 근거로 제시될 수 있다. 국민연금의 적립방식은 최근 대부분의 국가들이 공적연금에서 부과방식을 선택하는 경향과는 차별이 된다. 특히 노후보장과 관련하여 현재 노인계층을 연금보장 대상에서 제도적으로 배제시켜는 점은 선진국과는 다른 차별로 볼 수 있다. 마지막으로 재정방식에서 선별주의방식을 채택함으로써 국민연금 연금수급권을 위한 최소 가입기간(10년)은 한계가입자와 일반계층과의 형평성 문제를 해결하여야 한다는 논리성의 한계를 제시할 수 있다. 따라서 기금의 복지사업은 가입자나 수급권자 보다는 현재 노인계층과 한계가입자계층에 대한 차별성을 완화하는 목적에서 사업대상으로 고려될 수 있다. 한편 복지사업의 정책결정은 수익성에 있어서 사회적 합의의 필요성, 국가사업과의 관계를 고려한 정책 사업의 독립성 그리고 투자의 장단기적 성격을 판단하기 위한 정책성격의 확립 그리고 복지사업의 직 간접경영에 따른 신뢰성 등 다양한 정책요소를 고려한 정책방향이 이루어져야 한다. 이를 통하여 국민연금기금 운용의 복지사업 활성화와 신뢰확보를 기대할 수 있을 것이다.

The study measured a subway construction worker's Macpa stress by Heart Rate Variability measuring instrument and conducted a survey of Korean job stress from subway construction workers. Also, the study analyzed the relationship between Macpa stress index and Korean job stress result and suggested managing stress method for each item. According to National Statistical Office data, the first line subway in Seoul was started to open in 1974. The extended total length is 996 kilometers until 2019. Many aged workers are currently working at subway construction sites due to the avoidance of young workers since the past until now. It means that the elderly has a substantial portion among subway construction workers. The productivity has been adversely affected by health problems due to the aging of workers, job stress due to heavy work, and personal health problems. So, the regulation and policies on job stress health management are being strengthened. The data were measured Macpa stress by machine measuring heart rate variability and conducted Korean job stress survey(shortened) from Sa-sang to Ha-dan line Busan subway construction workers for analyzing the relationship. Independent variable were age, job duration, job position, employment type, working type in this study. Macpa's dependent variable was stress index and Korean job stress survey(shortened)'s dependent variables were job requirements, job autonomy, relationship conflict, job instability, organizational structure, inappropriate compensation, working place culture, and total score. SPSS 12.0 K Statistics Program was used for statistical analysis. Kruskal-wallis test, a nonparametric statistical analysis, was used because the data are difficult to be assumed as normal distribution. As a result, the paper indicated the significant correlation between Macpa stress index and Korean job stress(short version). The elderly workers presented higher Macpa index and higher job stress due to aging and heavy-duty work. The majority workers were daily workers who had unstable working condition and uncertainty about the future. The study suggested a manual that could reduce job stress for subway construction workers and future study deriving management tool through analyzing job stress factor is necessary.

In Sasang constitutional medicine, doctors diagnose and treat patients according to their Sasang consitutition (SC) type. In this work, by a clinical test with a radial pulse tonometer, we investigated radial pulse properties which were significant in distinguishing unhealthy subjects from healthy subjects for each SC type. We measured radial pulse properties on left and right Gwan locations with a pulse tonometer for 299 elderly female subjects of age of 50 years old or above. We used a newly developed SCAT system to determine subjects' SC types. Subjects' health levels of either healthy or unhealthy were determined independently by two Korean medical doctors. To investigate the statistical differences, we used either of Student's t-test or Mann-Whitney U test depending on the normality of distribution of test statistic. For TE type, unhealthy subjects were characterized with significant increases in heart rate, systolic to diastolic period, pulse depth, while they showed significant decreases in width of pulse in normal direction, pulse area in diastolic period, and high harmonic components (6th, 7th) of power spectral density. For SE type, unhealthy subjects were characterized with significant increases in pulse pressure and pulse depth, while no significant differences were found for SY type. We investigated the characteristic differences in radial pulse properties due to change in health levels on each SC type for elderly females. Pulse variables which were significantly different between healthy subjects and unhealthy subjects were found to vary between SC types. For TE type subjects, many variables were found significant at the left Gwan location, which is in support of the theory of hyperactive liver functioning for TE type. Irrespective of the constitution, the related changes in the pulse properties due to worsened health level were in support of elevated blood flow amount in compensation with weakened blood circulatory function.
