Depression is a major health problem that can lead to mortality. This study was conducted to assess the risk factors associated with depression in a group aged over 65 years by analyzing nationally representative Korean survey data. A total of 1,209 subjects were analyzed among the participants of the 2014 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Statistical methods for a complex sample were applied by using SPSS program(windows ver. 24.0). Depression assessments were carried out by using the 9-item depression module of the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9). Depression ($PHQ-9{\geq}5$) was more frequently found in females (33.2%) compared to males (16.1%). However, there was no evidence suggesting that characteristics such as residence area, income level and age, except for educational level, were related with depression. The results of the logistic regression analysis showed that i) health habits such as smoking (OR: 2.26) and lack of aerobic physical activity (OR: 1.62), ii) mental health status such as bad self-rating of health status (OR: 4.30), more stress (OR: 8.31), and bad health-related quality of life (by EQ_5D, OR: 3.41), iii) chronic diseases such as obesity (OR: 0.66), hypercholesterolemia (OR: 1.57), anemia (OR: 1.91), and iv) low intake of energy (OR: 1.84) and calcium (OR: 1.71) were significantly associated with depression. This study suggests that certain characteristics of health habits, mental health status, chronic diseases and nutrient intake may be associated with depression. Prospective research on long-term control is needed to establish causal connections among those factors with depression.

Objective : The purpose of this research was to provide basic data for developing the collaborating care of Korean traditional medicine and western medicines by analyzing the perceptions of residents visiting local health centers on the collaborating care. Method : To this end, a self-administrated questionnaire was surveyed to 417 participants from March 10 to March 19, 2005. The questionnaires were regarding medical preferences, effectiveness, co-operative treatment types, and the demographic characteristics of the study population. The main statistical methods employed for analysis were frequency chi-square test analysis, using SPSS system 12.0 software for Windows. Result : First, the perceptions of collaborating care, such as preference and effectiveness, were better for residents who had experienced Korean traditional medicine(p < 0.05). Second, the most favorable collaborating care type was the neuromuscular disease and rehabilitation, and in particular, the preference of the patient who had experienced Korean traditional medicine was much higher than those who had not experienced it(p < 0.05). Third, as for recognizing the future of collaborating care, respondents insisted that collaboration care has to be conducted under evidence-based research. The reasons why collaborating care has not been active were reported as "difference in solving disease problems between oriental medicine and western medicine." The most important role of the Korean traditional medicines in the public sector was to provide specialized service for the elderly and low income households. Conclusion : Most respondents expected the positive effects of the collaborating care and wanted it to develop, particularly for neuromuscular diseases. As for the health promotion program in health centers, it was more popular than the home visiting program for the elderly and preventive rehabilitation for stroke. Now we must plan to balance between the need of the community and the medical provider on collaborating care.

The relationship between mortality and the Korean Healthy Eating Index ("KHEI") is well established. This study was to investigate the associations between health habits, mental health, and nutritional status and KHEI in older Koreans (aged≥65 years). A total of 4,247 subjects (1,842 men and 2,405 women) that participated in the 2016~2018 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were included in the analysis. The lowest scoring KHEI item was milk and milk products. KHEI tertile groups were classified by total KHEI score. Tertile group percentages were related to general characteristics such as gender, residential area, educational level, income level, number of family members, and age. Logistic regression analysis adjusted for general characteristics, showed that ex-smokers (OR: male 1.53 female 2.29), smokers (OR: male 2.90), low hand grip strength (OR: male 1.42 female 1.90), poor self-rated health status (OR: female 1.83), stressful mental status (OR: female 1.51), poor health-related quality of life (OR: female 1.64), poor nutritional status (OR: male 2.88~37.20 female 1.98~16.12), and food insecurity (OR: male 6.87 female 2.03) were significantly related to a lower KHEI. This study suggests that gender-specific associations exist between mental health status and KHEI.

경로연금은 급여수준이 미미하고 제도규모도 크지 않지만, 공적연금과 공공부조로부터 배제된 저소득 노령계층에게 유일한 공적소득보장제도라는 점에서 중요한 제도적 위상과 역할을 갖고 있다. 특히 공적연금이 미성숙한 현단계에서 경로연금의 역할은 더욱 중요하다. 이러한 경로연금이 지금 중요한 정책기로에 서 있다. 국가정책 차원에서 경로연금 수급자를 매년 증가하여 책정해도 실제 수급자 규모는 이에 훨씬 미치지 못하고 있는 반면, 공적소득보장의 사각지대에 놓여진 노령계층의 경제적 어려움은 여전하다. 본 논문에서는 왜 노령소득보장체계상에 욕구와 자원의 부정합(mis-matching) 문제가 심각하게 발생하고 있는지에 대해 문제의식을 가지고, 보다 근본적으로 향후 인구고령화의 가속화, 노동시장의 유연화, 가족구조의 변화 등 경제사회적 여건의 질적 변화에 부합하는 노령소득보장체계의 재편방향을 모색하는 가운데 과연 경로연금이 어떠한 방향으로 발전하는 것이 바람직할 것인가를 모색해 보고자 하였다. 본 논문에서 노령소득보장체계가 갖추어야 할 원칙적인 기본방향을 크게 다음 세 가지로 정리하였다. 보편적 개별보장(universal and individual security)의 원칙; 지속가능성(sustainability)의 원칙; 형평성(equity)의 원칙. 이러한 대원칙하에서 본 논문은 경로연금제도의 발전방향을 크게 두 가지로 제안하였다. 하나는 현행 경과적이고 한시적인 제도의 틀을 유지하면서 제도의 충실화를 기하는 방향이고, 다른 하나는 경로연금제도를 공적연금과 공공부조의 사각지대에 놓여질 노령계층의 공적소득보장제도로서의 역할을 지속하는 방향이다. 이 때 경로연금의 발전방향을 결정짓는 중요한 변수는 공적연금의 역할이다. 만일, 공적연금이 현행 1소득자 1연금 체계로 계속 운영된다면 경로연금과 같은 무갹출연금적 성격의 제도는 계속 존속할 필요가 있다. 그러나 만일 공적연금이 1인 1연금의 틀을 갖춘 기초연금과 소득비례연금으로 재편되어 기초연금이 실질적으로 전노령계층에 대한 기초보장의 역할을 담당하게 된다면, 경로연금은 본래 제도의 목적대로 공적연금 성숙기까지 한시적으로 운영되는 현행 제도의 틀을 유지하는 것이 바람직할 것이다. 즉, 공적연금이 실질적인 전국민 기초보장의 역할을 할 수 있는가의 여부에 경로연금 발전방향의 향배가 달려 있다고 하겠다.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the blood biochemical characteristics, comorbidities, dietary intake, and other risk factors leading to poor glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) control in elderly Korean diabetes patients over 65 years of age. Methods: Data from the 4^th (2007-2009) and the 7^th (2016-2018) Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (KNHANES) were used. Socio-demographic characteristics (age, gender, region, household income, education level, marital status, nutrition education, diabetes duration and diabetes treatment), lifestyle characteristics (drinking, smoking, regular walking, and subjective health perception), anthropometric characteristics (height, weight, and waist circumference), blood biochemical characteristics (HbA1c, high- density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides, total cholesterol, blood urea nitrogen, and blood creatinine), co-morbidities (obesity, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia, and anemia), energy and nutrients intake, food group intake, and HbA1c control-related risk factors were compared. Results: Compared to the 4^th survey, the 7^th survey showed an increase in diabetes prevalence among men, an increase in the prevalence of diabetes in the older patients, and an increase in the duration of diabetes. The energy ratio from carbohydrate consumption in the 7^th survey was lower than in the 4^th. Compared to the 4^th survey, thiamine and riboflavin intake had improved, and the intakes of vitamin A, vitamin C, and niacin had worsened in the 7^th. A comparison of food group intakes showed that there was a decrease in the consumption of whole grains, potatoes, and milk and an increase in the intake of beverages and alcoholic beverages. The risk factors for poor control of HbA1c were the duration of diabetes and co-morbid hypertriglyceridemia in the 4^th survey, whereas subjective health perception, obesity, and hypercholesterolemia as co-morbidities were found to be risk factors in the 7^th in addition to the risk factors highlighted in the 4^th survey. Conclusions: For the future management of elderly Korean diabetes patients, greater care is indicated for men over 75 years, and those with low levels of education. It is necessary to increase the intake of milk and vegetables, and reduce the intake of beverages and alcoholic beverages. In addition, it is necessary to reduce the incidence of obesity, hypercholesterolemia, and hypertriglyceridemia for proper control of blood sugar.

중국의 급속한 인구 고령화 상황에서 요양원은 노인요양을 제공하는 역할을 하고 있지만 요양원의 효율성에 대한 이해는 거의 없었다. 본 논문은 요양원의 효율성 향상전략을 제안할 목적으로 DEA 및 Malmquist 지수 분석을 활용하여 평가하였다. 효율성 평가지표는 병상의 수, 고정자산, 의료인원의 수를 투입변수로 하고, 자가간호 가능노인의 수, 부분간호 가능노인의 수, 와상노인의 수, 요양원의 수입을 산출변수로 하여, 계층화 분석결과 DEA-CCR에서는 베이징과 상하이가 조사기간 5개년동안 1.00의 결과를 나타냈고, DEA-BCC에서는 4개 지역(베이징, 장쑤, 산둥, 상하이)이 가장 높은 결과를 나타났다. Malmquist 지수(MPI)에서는 하이난이 가장 높은 것으로 나타났다. 효율성 평가 결과가 높은 성(省)의 요양원은 자원활용, 내부관리, 경영규모 등에서 효율적이고 기술 진보적인 반면, 효율성 평가가 낮은 지역의 요양원은 기술효율이 높아지는 특징을 보였다.

Purpose: The purpose of this research was to examine the degree of care stress and the quality of life of grandmothers caring for their grandchildren while mother was employed. Method: A convenience sample of 107 grandmothers were measured for grandmother's care stress using a revised for of the PSI/SF and the quality of life tool by Andrew and Weinert. Descriptive statistics, t-test, and Pearson correlation coeffcients were used to analyze the data using SPSS/PC 10.0 Results: The results found that grandmothers' care stress was high according to their age and religion. Their quality of life was low according to their age, their present health status, income and sleep pattern. Their subjective care stress was a sense of social isolation, burden of caring for grandchildren, health problems, and conflict with adult children. Care stress and quality of life were found to be negatively correlated. This result was statistically significant. Conclusion: In conclusion, it was found that the care stress was high and affected quality of life. From this study it is proposed that there is a need to develop programs which consider grandmother' techniques in child care and health care to improve their quality of life. Ultimately, a good care environment for children will be good for the children's growth and development.
