본 연구는 노인의 감각처리유형과 통증 파국화 수준과의 상관관계에 대하여 알아보고, 이를 통해 재활중재를 위한 기초자료로 제시하고자 하였다. 연구대상은 65세 이상 노인 216명으로 하였다. 감각처리의 유형은 청소년/성인 감각프로파일을 사용하여 측정하였고, 통증의 심리적인 변인들은 통증파국화척도를 사용하여 측정하였다. 성별과 연령에 따른 차이는 t-검정을, 감각처리유형과 통증파국화와의 상관관계를 피어슨 상관분석을 실시하였다. 감각처리유형은 여성이 남성에 비해 '감각민감', '감각회피'의 경향이 높았으며(p<.05), 연령이 75세 이상인 군이 65~74세 군에 비해 '감각회피', '등록저하', '감각찾기'의 경향이 높은 것으로 나타났다(p<.05). 감각처리유형이 '등록저하'일 때 통증파국화의 '반추적사고'와 그리고 '감각찾기'일 때 통증 파국화의 '무력감'과 음의 상관관계를 나타내었다. '감각민감', '감각회피' 일 때 통증파국화의 모든 항목에서 양의 상관관계를 나타내었다. 65세 이상 노인의 감각처리 유형은 통증에 대한 심리적인 변인과 관련되어 있으며, 성별과 연령에 따라 차이가 있음을 알 수 있었다. 앞으로는 노인의 감각처리 유형 및 통증관련 요인들에 관한 더 진전된 연구가 이루어지기를 기대한다.

Objective: This study aimed to explore the readability and comprehensibility of the drug information on a patient leaflet for the senior by employing performance-based user-testing. Methods: We included 36 elderly (65 years old or older) as the senior group (intervention group) and 36 adults (40~59 years old) as the adult group (control). We developed a questionnaire to test if participants could access to drug information. After completing a questionnaire, the participant was interviewed about their understanding over the patient leaflet. We performed t-test, ${\chi}^2$-test or Fisher's exact test to examine differences between two groups in primary outcomes. Results: The senior were less likely able to find information (78%) than the adult (91%); they were much less likely able to understand information (42%) than the adult (69%). While we found differences between the ability of finding and understanding drug information in both groups, the senior group had greater difficulties in understanding all kinds of drug information. They had significant difficulties to remember information after reading the patient leaflet and frequently failed to find proper information even though they were allowed to access freely to the leaflet during interviewing. Conclusion: To secure safe and effective use of drugs for the senior, it is necessary to develop drug leaflets for the senior.

본 연구는 국민건강영양조사(2017) 자료를 이용하여 의사로부터 천식 진단을 받은 대상자의 자가 건강인지도, 스트레스, 2주 연속 우울감 등의 심리적 요인과 생리적 건강지표인 혈액 검사 자료를 비교하고 관련 위험요인들을 분석하였다. 연구에 사용된 국민건강영양조사(2017) 전체 대상자 수는 8,127명이며, 그 중의 성인(19세 이상) 5,852명을 대상으로 자료를 분석하였다. 일반적 특성 중 나이에 따른 천식 발생의 위험도는 65세 이상에서 높이 나타났으며(OR=1.48), 학력(OR=1.89)과 소득(OR=2.07)이 낮을수록 천식질환 발생 위험도가 증가하는 것으로 관찰되었다. 또한, 결혼 상태에서는 유배우자 동거와 비교하면 미혼(OR=1.62)과 무 배우자(사별, 이혼; OR=2.30)에서 천식 발생확률이 증가하였으며, 천식 진단군은 활동 제한(OR=2.39)이 높은 것으로 확인되었다. 심리적 요인에 있어서는 건강이 나쁘다고 인식할수록 천식 발생 유병률이 증가하였으며(OR=3.45), 우울감을 느끼는 경우도 증가하였지만(OR=1.78), 스트레스는 천식 발생 관련 위험요인이 아닌 것으로 확인되었다. 객관적 검사자료인 생리적 지표에서는 고감도 C-반응성 단백질 수치가 증가할수록 천식 발생 위험도가 증가함이 확인되었다(OR=1.12). 따라서 자가 건강인지도 및 우울감 같은 심리적 요인과 생리적 건강지표 중 하나인 고감도 C-반응성 단백질은 성인천식 질환의 잠재적 위험요인으로 인지되며, 이를 바탕으로 성인천식 질환 관리에 있어서 일반적 특성뿐만 아니라 심리적 요인 및 생리적 건강지표를 고려한 성인건강 관련 프로그램이 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

The purpose of this study was to examine the characteristics of consumer evaluative criteria based on clothing quality perception of adult males and females. A demonstrative study was conducted using a questionnaire on adults over 20 years old who were considered to afford to purchase clothes. A total of 650 questionnaires were distributed, and among them, 380 were used for the demonstrative analysis. The study used SPSSWIN V.8.0 for the analysis. Factor analysis and reliability analysis were introduced as analysis methods using the varimax rotation to classify consumer evaluative criteria for clothing purchasing. In addition, frequency analysis, correlation analysis, 1-test, multiple regression analysis, and duncan test are executed. The study result is as follows. First. expectation, importance and performance are examined by customer quality perception. Four factors- practicability, care, aesthetics, and symbolism- are classified through the factor analysis of 19 evaluative attributes based on importance. Second, differences of quality perception f3r expectation, importance and performance were found partly in customers' demographic characteristics. Third, the influential relation of satisfaction and quality perception is examined. Aesthetics and practicability have significant influence on the general satisfaction of evaluative attributes by performance.

The purposes of this study were to provide the basic data and investigate the reliability of functional reach test and identify correlation of Berg balance scale (BBS) and functional reach test (FRT). The subjects were twenty healthy young adults and forty-five over 65 years old in order to compare balance ability. These data were analyzed by independent t-test and Pearson's correlation test using SPSS WIN 10.0. The results were as follows. Intrarater reliability coefficients of FRT was .976 and interrater was .942. FRT was significantly correlated with age, height, and BBS (p<.05). There were no significant differences in FRT and BBS by sex. There was significant difference in reach distance between below 74 elderly and above in FRT. FRT is very reliable test for balance and significantly correlated with BBS. Therefore, it is suggested that FRT is a clinically useful tool to substitute for BBS measuring balance ability in the elderly.

This study was designed to assess diet and health-related factors of older adults in Korea. Subjects females were 2,660 adults aged 50 and over living in Korea. Males were 847 persons and were 1813 persons. The mean weight and height for males and females were 63.8 $\pm$ 0.3kg / 164.0 $\pm$ 0.2cm and 57.0 $\pm$ 0.2kg /150.6 $\pm$ 0.1cm respectively. BMI (body mass index), body fat, and percent fat were significantly greater in females than in males. The muscle mass and body water were significantly greater in males than in females. Twenty-one percent of total subjects lived alone and 26% with spouse only. Most of the subject's self-reported income was in middle level (65%) or low level (24%). Proportion of subjects who answered 'very poor' or 'poor' on perceived health status was higher in older group. The 50-64 years old group was facing more stress than 65yr and over group. Among male subjects,38.4% were current-smokers and 22.0% were ex-smokers. But only 6.5% of female subjects were current-smokers. Males turned out to have better dietary habits-meal frequency per day, mealtime regularity, regular meal size and balanced eating-than females (p < 0.001). This study revealed that the diet and health-related factors affect nutritional status and chronic diseases of the elderly. For better management and evaluation of health status of the elderly, more effective nutritional assessment tools should be developed.

This study was to identify oral health status, O'Leary index and OIDP for the preventive oral prophylaxis among adults who visited dental hospitals or clinics from 30th September in 2011 to 31th May in 2012. The results are as follows. In DMFT, female(8.79) was higher than male(7.65)(p<.05). Housewife(9.70) and agriculture fishery industry was higher than others(p<.01). In O'Leary index, male(47.41), over 50 years old and 200~300 million won were higher than others. but these results wasn't significantly different. The majority answer about discomfort feeling in OIDP was during meal(66.7), and period of discomfort was 1~2 time/month(29.6). The discomfort feeling in OIDP effected on meal(40.8)and teeth brushing(50.0). The difficulty in daily life were toothache(21.0), cold feeling(20.8), and crowding(19.3). In conclusion, the negative factor of oral health status didn't effect daily life. These findings are require of development of oral health management program which included the prevention of toothache and cold feeling.

This analysis was performed to investigate the relationship between nutrition and anthropometric indices using the data from a cross-sectional survey of a large national sample, '98 Korean national health and nutrition examination survey. Subjects were selected by stratified multistage probability sampling design and completed dietary questionnares including food intakes for one day by 24-hour recall method. For this analysis, 6566 subjects were selected by age(over 20 years old). For anthropometry, height, weight, and waist- and hip- circumference were measured. They were classified by body mass index(BMI, weight(Kg)/$height^2 $($m^2 $)) and waist-hip ratio(WHR, waist circumference(Cm)/hip circumference(Cm)). The nutrients intake of subjects were compared with the recommended daily allowances(RDA). Mean adequacy ratio(MAR) was calculated. Mean heights, weights, BMIs were higher in the groups with nutrient intake over 125% of RDA than the lower intake groups for most nutrients. However, Mean WHR was the highest in the groups with nutrient intake under 75% of RDA for most nutrients excluding iron intake of women aged 20-64 years. Among women aged 20-64 years, means of MAR were 0.71 for obese individuals(BMI>30), 0.72 for subjects with underweight(BMI<18.5), and 0.76 for subjects with normal weight(18.5$\leq$BMI<25). Normal subjects has statistically significantly higher MAR than those of other groups. However, among elderly people aged over 65 years, obese group had the highest MAR, 0.68. Women with abdominal obesity(WHR>0.9) had lower MAR, 0.71 than those with normal weight(MAR=0.76). From these results, obesity and abdominal obesity seems to be the results of malnutrition including both undernutrition and overnutrition rather than simple problem of excess energy intake. Obesity in elderly people needs to be handled differently from adults.
