목적: 본 연구는 지역사회 건강조사 자료를 활용하여 장년층에서 신체활동과 정신건강과의 관련성을 분석하고, 저작 불편에 미치는 요인을 평가하였다. 연구 재료 및 방법: 2022년 지역사회 건강조사 원시자료를 활용하여 40 - 64세 장년층 104,500명을 분석하였다. 연구내용으로 일반적 특성, 주관적 건강 수준, 구강건강 수준, 신체활동, 정신건강(PHQ-9), 저작불편 유무를 활용하였다. 일반적 특성, 신체활동, 정신건강 요인과 저작 불편의 차이는 교차분석을 시행하였고, 저작 불편에 영향을 미치는 요인은 로지스틱 회귀분석을 수행하였다. 결과: 장년층에서 구강건강 수준이 좋음에 비해 보통인 경우(OR:8.443, P < 0.001), 나쁨인 경우(OR:49.173, P < 0.001), 걷기 운동을 하지 않는 경우(OR:1.354, P < 0.001), 자살생각이 없는 집단에 비해 있는 경우(OR:2.543, P < 0.001), 자살시도가 없는 집단에 비해 있는 경우(OR:4.456, P < 0.001), 우울이 중증 이상의 경우(OR:4.624, P < 0.001) 저작 불편이 높게 나타났다. 결론: 장년층에서 신체활동 및 정신 건강은 저작불편의 위험요인으로써 구강 건강 증진을 위해 고려해야 부분이다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the relationship between self reported climacteric symptoms, and depression, and the quality of life in middle aged women. Method: The subjects of this study were 149 women from 40 to 64 years of age. Climacteric symptoms were measured with Neugarton's tool(1965) and depression with Zung's tool. Quality of life was related to self reported climacteric symptoms were education level (F=3.011, p=.035), income measured by Rho's tool(1988). Result: The general characteristic variables significantly level (F=2.670, p=.057), income satisfaction (F=3.413. p=.011), perceived subjective health condition(F=28.623, p=.000). The general characteristic variables significantly related to depression were age(t=-2.476, p=.014), education level (F=4.492, p.013). income satisfaction (F=2.845, p.026), perceived subjective health condition (F = 8.468, p=.000). The general characteristics variables significantly related to quality of life were income level (F= 5.010, p=.000), income satisfaction (F=6.314, p=.000), perceived subjective health condition (F=3.516, p<=.032). menstruation cycles(t=-2.66, p=.023). The relationship between self reported climacteric symptoms and depression had a statistically a positive correlation (r=.357, p=.000). The relationship between depression and quality of life had a statistically with a negative correlation(r=-.397, p=.000). Conclusion: These results may contribute to a better understanding of depression and quality of life in middle aged women. Therefore, health programs for prompting climacteric women´s health should be a planned based on results of the study.

본 연구는 우리나라 중년 여성의 기능적 의료정보 이해능력과 건강증진행위의 관련성을 파악하고자 시행되었다. 연구대상은 K도와 D광역시 1개에 거주하는 40~64세의 중년 여성으로 편의추출 방식으로 수집하였다. 연구결과 중년 여성의 기능적 의료정보 이해능력은 13점 만점에 $4.75{\pm}2.98$점, 건강증진행위는 5점 만점에 $2.30{\pm}0.55$점으로 낮게 나타났다. 기능적 의료정보 이해능력과 건강증진행위는 양의 상관관계가 있다고 나타났으며, 기능적 의료정보 이해능력은 연령, 교육수준 등의 인구사회학적 요인을 통제한 상태에서 중년 여성의 건강증진행위에 유의한 영향을 주는 것으로 확인되었다. 이는 의료정보 이해능력이 향상될수록 건강증진행위를 증가시킬 수 있다는 결과이다. 따라서 중년 여성을 위한 맞춤식 교육프로그램 및 의료정보 이해능력을 효과적으로 향상시킬 수 있는 전략을 개발하고 그 효과를 검증하는 연구가 지속되어야 할 것을 제안하는 바이다.

Background: The purpose of this study was to identify the status of Successful Aging among the elderly aged 65 and over in rural areas and to compare factors related with Successful Aging between "kyung-ro-dang" users and non-users. Methods: A total of 181 elderly aged 65 or older were selected from four districts (Heung-upri, Mejiri, Sajerri, and Daeanri) of Wonju city. A survey method using face to face interviews was applied to collect information. Successful aging was measured on a 5-point Likert-type scale using the successful aging scale developed for the Korean elderly, which indicates the higher the score, the higher the level of successful aging. Descriptive statistics, bivariate, and multivariate analyses were computed; the level of significance was set at 5%. Hierarchical polynomial regression was applied to find out the factors associated with successful aging. Results: Of the total, 112 elders used kyung-ro-dang and 69 elders who did not use kyung-ro-dang. The level of successful aging of the elderly was higher among kyung-ro-dang users than non-users. The factors related to successful aging among kyung-ro-dang users were walking and social participation. Users who walk more than 4 times per week and social participation activities have a higher level of satisfaction. In the case of non-users, a higher level of monthly income, having a spouse, social support, and social participation associated with a higher level of successful aging. Conclusion: Monthly income, social participation, and social factors were found to be related to successful aging along with physical and mental health conditions among the elderly in rural areas. Therefore, it can be concluded that income, social as well as mental and physical factors, are more critical for successful aging in the rural community care in Korea.

To compare the health status of rural and urban aged persons(over 65 years old) by an abnormality of a hematologic and some biochemical values as well as urinalysis and chest X-ray, following examinations were done on 8,756(male : 4,339: female 4,417) by hemoglobin, total cholesteol, GOT, and glucose, on 9,207(male: 4,467; female : 4.740) by urinalysis and on 9,148(male : 4,426: female : 4,722) by chest X-ray. The results are as follows: 1) The proportion of outlier of normal range of the GOT(over 40 unit) showed higher in rural aged persons(5.3%) than in urban aged(2.8%). There was no significant difference in both of urban and rual female, but the rural male(7.4 showed significantly higher than the urban male(3.9% ). 2) The proportion of abnormality of the total cholesterol value(over 260 mg/dl) was 7,0% in urban and 1.7% in rural aged persons. In the male, there was no significant difference in both urban(2.2%) and rural(1.4%), however the urban female(10.5%) showed significantly higher than the rural female(2.2%). 3) In the blood glucose level, the proportion of abnormality(over 120 mg/dl) showed 17.1% in urban and 19.3% in rural aged persons. The rural aged persons in both sexes(male : 18.1% : female : 20.7%) were relatively higher abnormality rates than those of the urban aged(male : 15. 3%: female : 18.4% ) respectively. 4) The proportion of abnormality of hemoglobin level(less than 12.0 g/dl in male: less than 11.0 g/dl in female) showed 7.1% in urban and 2.6%J in rural aged persons. The urban aged persons in both sexes(male : 8.3%: female 6.3%) were relatively higher abnormality rates than those of the rural aged(male : 3.0%: female : 2.2%) 5) In the urinalysis by urine stix(Korea Green Cross Co.), the positive rates of urine protein were 1.0% in urban and 0.5% in rural aged per-sons, and there was no any significant differences in both areas by sex. 6) The positive rates of urine glucose in urban aged persons(5.8'% : male : 7.3% : female : 4.7%). showed relatively higher than those of rural aged (3.4% : male : 3.9%: female : 2.8%). 7) The positive findings of pulmonary tuberculosis by indirect X-ray examination were observed in 7.7% of aged persons in both rural and urban areas respectively.

This study examines the relationship between intergenerational financial resource transfers and preparation for later life among the middle-aged. The study sample consists of 1536 middle-aged individuals with at least one living parent and one married child. The level of preparation for later life is dependent upon the level of household economic status. The statistically significant variables predicting the level of preparation for later life include age, education, subjective health status, household income and household assets. Moreover, intergenerational resource transfers are statistically significant factors that explain the level of preparation for later life. The effect of financial transfers from middle-aged parents to their adult children on the level of preparation for later life is the most significant financial transfer variable.
