This study investigated the prevalence of unmet needs for health care among Korean adults and related factors. Using data from the 2012 Korea Health Panel, 1,896 adults aged 65 and over and two age groups(Young-Old(66-74) and Old-Old($65{\leq}$)) were analyzed to identify these factors. Logistic regression analysis was used to examine the main factors associated with unmet medical needs. According to the results of this study, the factors influencing unmet medical needs with regard to economic factors were Subjective Health Status(young-old), Disability(young-old), Activity Limitation(young-old), Education Level(old) and Economic Activity(old). The factors influencing unmet medical needs were factors of attitude, information, and disease. factors were Disability(young-old), Activity Limitation(young-old), Education Level(old) and Economic Activity(old). Therefore, further research that investigates unmet needs depending on age group in the elderly would suggest helpful policy implications.

Purpose: This study examined potential determinants of gender differences in utilization of health care services among Korean adults. Methods: The study population was 21,647 adults ${\geq}$25-years-of-age who had responded to a health interview survey conducted as part of the 2005 National Health and Nutrition Surveys. Relative gender differences in the use of each health service were assessed using chi-square test and sex ratios. The contribution of potential factors of sex differences in the use of health services was evaluated by comparing the odds ratio and sex ratio before and after adjustment for such variables. Results & Conclusions: More females had visited a physician and been admitted to hospital, but hospitalization time was longer for males. Adjustment for poor self-rated health, number of chronic disease and limit of full term for ADL led to a reduction in the odds ratio of females compared to males for health service utilization. However, adjustment for socioeconomic factors (household income, education, occupation, and health insurance) magnified the gender difference concerning length of hospitalization. Factors that explain gender-related differences in utilization of health care services are concluded to be different health needs and socioeconomic status.

The study finds a constructive way to improve shared houses by analyzing shared house living conditions, satisfaction of the residents and potential consumer's needs. For this, a survey of 179 single-person university residents and interviews with seven young adults residing in shared house was conducted. The results showed that shared house tenants had high satisfaction in regard to bedrooms, common spaces, and rental costs. They successfully adapted to community life by frequently using the living, dining spaces, and common spaces with respect and consideration towards other tenants by following rules. Single-person university household should prefer single rooms and the biggest consideration when they move into a shared house is rent. Affordable rates were 300,000 to 350,000 Korean Won per month (40.5%) and deposit of 3 million won or less (64.3%). Results also showed a need for a professional manager residing in the house with a cleaning service for common spaces and a want to share hobbies with other tenants (3.25/5 point scale). It is very important in a housing welfare perspective that one experiences the value of living and emotional sharing to heighten the satisfaction through shared houses. It is essential to put effort into developing a service that reflects consumer's needs for shared houses to continue as a housing alternative model for young adults.

본 연구는 한국 성인 및 노인들을 대상으로 치매 서비스 이용 여부와 인지기능의 관계를 살펴보고, 건강정보이해능력이 두 변수 간의 관계에서 조절효과를 나타내는지 검증하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 K대학교에서 전국 60~79세 지역사회 거주자를 대상으로 직접면접조사를 통해 수집한 2016년 치매이해능력 설문조사 자료를 활용하였으며, 최종분석대상자로는 522명이 선정되었다. 다중회귀분석을 실시한 결과, 첫째, 치매 서비스 경험이 있는 노인일수록 인지기능이 높게 나타났다. 둘째, 건강정보이해능력이 높을수록 인지기능이 높게 나타났다. 셋째, 치매 서비스 경험과 인지기능의 관계에서 건강정보이해능력이 조절효과를 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 건강정보이해능력이 치매서비스 이용에 있어 중요한 역할을 하고 있음을 실증적으로 발견하여 고령자의 치매 및 건강 관련 정책에 주요 시사점을 제시한다.

Purpose: This study tries to comprehend older adults' perspectives of community supports and health services in a South Korean city and identify important sociodemographic and health characteristics that affect their perspectives. Methods: 166 older adults were involved in this cross-sectional study. Questions on background characteristics and community supports and health services criteria (categorized as service accessibility, offer of services, voluntary support, or emergency care planning) based upon the WHO's Age-Friendly Cities Guide were used. The data were analyzed using paired and independent t-tests, one-way ANOVA, and hierarchical multiple regression analyses. Results: emergency care planning was rated as the most important by the participants (mean age=76.24 years, 22.9% male), while its current level of performance was lowly appraised (p<.001). The rated importance for each category differed based on individual characteristics. Depression (p=.016), older age (p=.012), and restricted network type (p=.039) were significantly related to ascribing a higher degree of importance to community services. Conclusion: Community initiatives are warranted to optimize emergency care for older adults. This planning must be based on the unique characteristics of older adults in coordination with supportive resources. In addition, comprehensive assessments are warranted before implementing action plans to ensure that the multi-dimensional problems of older adults are incorporated.

본 연구는 중·고령자의 온라인 사회관계 서비스 활용도(PC, 모바일)와 삶의 만족도 간의 관계에서 사회적 지지의 매개효과를 검증하고자 한다. 이를 위해 한국정보화진흥원에서 수집한 '2017년도 디지털 정보격차 실태조사' 데이터를 활용하였으며, 만 55세 이상 중·고령자 2,300명 중 인터넷을 이용하는 1,488명을 최종 분석대상자로 선정하였다. 이후 구조방정식을 활용하여 온라인 사회관계 서비스 활용도와 삶의 만족도의 관계에서 사회적 지지의 매개효과를 검증하였다. 그 결과 모바일 기반 사회관계 서비스 활용 수준이 높을수록 사회적 지지와 삶의 만족도가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 또한 모바일 기반 사회관계 서비스 활용도와 삶의 만족도와의 관계에서 사회적 지지는 부분 매개 효과를 가지는 것으로 확인하였다. 그러나 PC 기반 사회관계 서비스 활용도는 사회적 지지와 삶의 만족도에 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 본 연구의 결과는 중·고령자의 모바일 기반 사회관계 서비스 활용 교육과 사회적 지지 증진 교육과의 연계성을 높이거나 사회적 지지를 함께 활용하여 효과적인 삶의 만족도 증진시킬 수 있는 실천적 방안의 기초자료로 활용 가능하다. 또한 온라인 사회관계서비스 활용도를 하나로 측정했던 한계점을 극복하고, 모바일과 PC로 구분하여 실질적으로 효과가 높은 도구를 선별해내었다는 것에 연구의 의의를 가진다.

Objectives: Recent epidemiological data reported that young adults in their 20 ~ 30s are a vulnerable population with unhealthy dietary practices and a few signs of deteriorated health indicators. However, there are no dietary guidelines that are specifically developed for the young adult population. This study introduces some data collection tools that are mostly used in the service design field, and demonstrates how these tools can be used in nutrition research for developing dietary guidelines for specific target groups. Methods: To understand the context of food choices among young people, 39 people were enrolled to complete a probes booklet. Thematic analysis and word cloud were performed to capture the main themes from the probes and a persona was developed based on the findings. Results: Data from the probes enabled us to grasp the various contextual meanings of eating practices among young people. Most participants understand what a healthy diet is and often have a willingness to practice it. However, there were very few participants who were following the practices. We created four types of persona for developing dietary guidelines: healthy eating, emotional eating, convenient eating, and trendy eating. Conclusions: Probes and persona were used in order to understand the lives of young adults and develop targeted messages. We hope that this introduction will be helpful to researchers who are looking for new ways of understanding their target population in the field of community nutrition.
