The purpose of this study was to assess healthy city level of the selected cities of Korea, Japan, and England using healthy city index. Based on WHO health city profile, this study proposed 5 index domains comprised with human biology, life style, shelthe & socioeconomic data, environmental & infrastructural data, and public health policy and services. We identified 6 cities (Changwon, Wonju, Seoul, Ichikawa, Fukuroi and Brighton). The human biology level of Korean cities was better than that of Ichikawa, Fukuroi, and Brighton city except Wonju. But the shelter & socioeconomic index level of the foreign cities was better than that of Korean cities. In the environmental & infrastructural idex, even though Changwon city showed the highest level among healthy cities in this study, other Korean cities had lower level compared to the foreign cities. In the public health policy and services index level, except Wonju, Korean cities had lower level than that of all foreign cities. In comparing a summative evaluation index of all proposed index, Ichikawa and Fukuroi had the highest level of city health but Seoul city had the lowest healthy level. Changwon and Wonju had higher level of city health compare to that of Brighton and Seoul. To promote the level of city health, those findings could contribute to healthy city planning process in terms of identifying any weakness and strength of the cities selected in this study.

This study was performed to evaluate the effectiveness of food commodity supplementary program for low-income, living alone elderly people. The subjects were 57 low income aged females who lived alone in Bucheon city. The food commodity supplementary program lasted for 6 months, supplying one meal per day consisting with grains, meat, vegetables, dairy and fruit. Dietary intake, anthropometric measurements, and blood profiles were assessed. After 6 months of food commodity supplemented period, dietary intakes of protein(p<0.05), calcium(p<0.05), iron(p<0.05) and vitamin B(p<0.001) were significantly increased. The mean weight(p<0.05) and BMI(p<0.05) were increased, and the frequency of BMI over 25kg/m$^2$ was also raised from 54.4% to 59.7%. Serum concentrations of total protein(p<0.001) and albumin(p<0.001) were significantly increased, indicating improvement of protein status. The frequency of anemia was decreased from 45.6% to 26.3%. However, the proportion of dyslipidemia was increased. In general the stable food commodity supplementary program was effective to improve general nutritional status of the poor aged who lived alone, however, nutrient intakes still did not meet RDA for the elderly and the rates of obesity and dyslipidemia were increased. Therefore, local government should provide more active food support program and the selection of food items for commodity should be evaluated at regular intervals.

많은 선행연구는 대규모 역학조사를 통하여 노화와 함께 근육의 감소가 나타나는 현상을 규명하였고, 이를 근감소증(sarcopenia)으로 명명하였다. 근감소증이 사망률과 유병률에 직접적인 관련성을 나타내지 않는 것 같으나 근육의 감소는 근력의 저하, 체력의 약화, 활동성의 감소로 이어져 결국에는 독립적인 생활이 불가능해지며 신체장애를 가져오게 된다. 본 연구는 근감소증 예방을 위한 미용덤벨 운동의 효과를 살펴보는데 있다. 본 연구의 피검자는 S시 J구에 소재한 J노인복지관 운동프로그램에 참가하는 60-70대의 노인으로 통제군 19명, 운동군 8명으로 분류하였다. 미용덤벨 운동은 12주 동안 주2회의 빈도로 실시하여, 운동 전·후로 신체조성, 체력, 혈중지질 변인을 측정하였다. 12주간의 미용덤벨 전·후 체지방률(F=0.388, p=0.539)은 유의한 차이가 나타나지 않았으나, 체중(F=4.312, p=0.048), 체질량지수(F=4.532, p=0.043), 근육량(F=4.743, p=0.039)은 유의한 차이가 나타났다. 체력의 덤벨들기(F=1.103, p=0.304), 등 뒤에서 손잡기(F=0.214, p=0.648)는 유의한 차이가 나타나지 않았으나, 2분 제자리 걷기(F=33.638, p<0.001), 의자에서 일어섰다 앉기(F=14.575, p=0.001), 의자앉아 앞으로 굽히기(F=7.198, p=0.013), 244cm 왕복 걷기(F=14.890, p=0.001)는 유의한 차이가 나타났다. 혈중지질 변인의 총 콜레스테롤(F=0.030, p=0.864), 중성지방(F=0.142, p=0.710), 고밀도지단백(F=2.066, p=0.163), 혈당(F=0.125, p=0.727), 당화혈색소(F=0.945, p=0.340)는 유의한 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 노인에게 있어서 미용덤벨 운동은 신체조성 및 체력에 긍정적인 영향을 미치나 혈중지질 변인에는 그렇지 못한 것을 확인할 수 있었다.
