The number of household living alone including young single adults has gradually increased. The purpose of this study is to examine the demand on housing options, additional space, shared space, community facilities, housing service for young adults living alone including college students. A total of 180 questionnaire were collected and analyzed. For housing location, commuting distance is the most important feature and amenities are the second important feature. For additional space, there is a significant difference between male and female single residents. Female residents want to install dress room most while male adults want to have a study room. For the shared house option, single adults concerns housing fee and living cost most. However, female adults concern safety and security issues much more than male ones do. The degree of preference to community facilities varies between male and female single residents. The findings suggest more differentiated approaches are needed for alternative housing options for male and female residents.

Purpose: This study was conducted in order to identify factors that predict suicidal ideation and depression according to gender among Korean adults. Method: From the data base of the fifth Korean National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey(KNHANESV-1, 2010), data on 4,894 adults aged 19~64 were used. Data were analyzed by application of the Rao-Scott Chi-Square test and logistic analysis with SAS 9.2. Results: Overall, 8.5% of men and 18.1% of women had suicidal ideation during the last year; 7.5% of men and 17.0% of women had depression during the last two weeks. Risk factors for suicidal ideation include perceived high stress(OR male 3.649, female 2.941), depression(OR male 10.109, female 6.033), poor cognition of health status(OR male 8.115, female 6.664), low economic status(OR male 1.898), and low educational status(OR female 1.631). Risk factors for depression include perceived high stress(OR male 2.678, female 3.686), suicidal ideation(OR male 9.925, female 6.022), non-employed(OR female 1.525), married(OR female 2.392), and physical discomfort(OR female 1.545). Conclusions: Based on the above mentioned results, risk factors of suicidal ideation and depression differed according to gender. Development of various policies and appropriate intervention programs according to gender, that lessen the risk of suicidal ideation and depression for adults is needed.

The purpose of this study was to examine how the family of origin and self-disclosure of unmarried persons in early adulthood affected their own intimacy with the opposite sex, which was one of the major developmental tasks for them. The findings of the study are as follows: First, the self-differentiation, self-disclosure, and intimacy with the opposite sex of the single male and female adults investigated were generally at a moderate level. Second, for self-differentiation, the background variables of the male and female adults made no statistically significant difference. For self-disclosure, the background variables of the female adults made no statistically significant difference to that, but the male adults differed significantly from one another in that regard according to their family makeup and birth of order. As for connections between the background variables of the single male and female adults and their intimacy with the opposite sex, the male adults varied in that aspect with their birth order, and whether they were dating and considered getting married made a difference to that as well. In the event of the female adults, whether they considered getting married and how long they were dating made a difference in their intimacy with the opposite sex. Third, concerning the relative influence of the self-differentiation and self-disclosure of the unmarried male and female adults on their intimacy with the opposite sex, their intimacy with the opposite sex improved as division occurred from their original families, when they opened themselves up to more people, when they thought of marriage more and when they were dating for a longer period of time.

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to comparatively investigate the correlation among body composition, resting metabolic rate (RMR), and physical activity (PA) between young and middle-aged Korean adults. [Methods] A total of 53 [male n=23, female n=30] subjects were included in this study, among whom 34 subjects were healthy young adults [male n=18, female n=16] and 19 were middle-aged adults [male n=5, female n=14]. The body composition and RMR of all the participants were measured after overnight fasting (≥8 h). The Korean version of the WHO Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ) was used to assess physical activity. [Results] Body composition was not significantly different between young adults and middle-aged adults. Whole-body bone mineral density and bone mineral contents (BMC) were significantly lower in middle-aged adults than in young adults. Total blood cholesterol (TC) and blood glucose levels were significantly higher in middle-aged adults (TC; 195.21 ± 43.34, glucose; 103.57 ± 12.61 mg/dL) than in young adults. RMR was significantly lower in middle-aged adults (1619.57 ± 290.28 kcal/day) than in young adults (1894.37 ± 405.00 kcal/day). In middle-aged adults physical activity (PA). PA (METs, min, EE) was inversely correlated with fat mass (FM, kg, and %) and blood triglyceride (TG) level in young adults. In middle-aged adults, PA showed a significant positive correlation with lean body mass (LBM), FM (%), and RMR. Furthermore, PA EE showed significant interrelatedness with BMC among middle-aged adults. [Conclusion] These results demonstrated that high PA levels enable LBM and RMR maintenance in middle-aged adults. Furthermore, in young adults, more PA is required to induce change in body composition.

Stress has been associated with poor eating behavior and diet quality. Yet, the relationship between nutrient and food intake and perceived stress in Korean female adults has not been validated. The purpose of this study is to identify the relationship between nutrient and food intake and perceived stress in Korean female adults. This is a cross-sectional study based on the 2014-2015 Korean National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey data. This study investigated 2,010 female adults age 19~64. In this study, according to subjects' perceived stress, we classified subjects into very low-stress recognition group (VLSRG) (n=211), low-stress recognition group (VSRG) (n=1,223), high-stress recognition group (HSRG) (n=488) and very high-stress recognition group (VHSRG) (n=88). Daily nutrients and food group intake, food groups consumed (Dietary Diversity Score, DDS) were analyzed using data from the 24-recall method. The VHSRG had a larger proportion of subjects that were younger (p<0.0001), single (p<0.0001) and smokers (p<0.0001) compared to the VLSRG. Energy and food intake did not differ between the four groups. Percentage of subjects with protein (p=0.0322), vitamin A (p=0.0364) and vitamin C (p=0.0115) intake lower than the EAR (estimated average requirement) in the VHSRG were significantly lowest in the four groups. Also, food intake percentage from fruits and seaweed groups in the VHSRG were lower than other groups (p=0.0034, p=0.0015). DDS in the VHSRG (3.87) was significantly lowest in the four groups (p=0.0022). Results suggest that perceived stress in Korean female adults may by significant to consider in nutritional education programs.

본 연구는 성인여성을 대상으로 자기존중기억 내용의 주제를 알아보기 위해 수행되었다. 자기존중기억(self-esteem memory)이란 자기에 대해 현저하게 긍정적으로 또는 부정적으로 생각했던 사건에 대한 기억을 말하는데, 성취에 관한 내용과 관계에 관한 내용으로 대별될 수 있다. 연구 참가자는 청년기 여성(M=21.56) 18명, 중년기 여성(M=54.13) 15명, 노년기 여성(M=74.35) 20명으로 총 53명의 성인여성이었으며, 긍/부정적 자기존중기억을 각 4가지씩 총 8가지를 회상, 구술하도록하여 그 내용을 주제별로 분류하고 살펴보았다. 분석 결과, 성인여성은 긍정적인 자기존중기억과 부정적인 자기존중기억 모두 성취보다는 사회적 관계에 관한 내용에 초점이 맞추어져 있었으며 그러한 경향은 청년의 긍정적 기억에서 또 중년의 부정적 기억에서 발견되었다. 이는 개인이 강조되는 서양문화와 비교해 집단주의적 성격이 중시되는 우리 문화 특성과 공동체적 특질이 두드러진 여성의 특성을 반영한다고 할 수 있다. 추후에 자기존중기억의 주제에 대한 성차 및 생애 주기별 차이에 대한 연구가 필요하다.
