Significant difference was existed in mini-style preference between high and low body satisfaction groups. Mini-style was pre-ferred by high body satisfaction group than low body satisfaction group. 2, Significant difference was existed in mini-style preference between high and low stress groups. Mini-style was preferred by low stress group than high stress group. 3. Regarding demographic characteristics unmarried 2 year college graduates with low family income in their early 30's pref. mini-style. 4. There was a marginal interaction effect of demographic characteristics on the relation-ship between mini-style preference and body satisfaction. The higher preference and body satisfaction. The higher preference for mini-style was found for the higher body satis-faction group mostly with the age range of 35 to 39 married 4 year college graduates as drop-puts and mid less income group. 5. There was a marginal interaction effect of demographic variables on the relatonship be-tween mini style preference and stress level The higher preference for mini-style was re-lated to the low stress level group mostly with age group of 35 to 44 high school graduates or lower and highest income group regardless of their marital status.

Objectives: I examined the health and oral health status of elderly people living alone compared to elderly people living with their families by using data (2014) from the 6th Two-Year Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Methods: Among 1,454 health survey respondents aged 65 years and over who participated in the 6th Two-Year Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey conducted in 2014, 311 were elderly people living alone and 1,143 were elderly people living with their families. Results: In terms of socio-demographic characteristics, the percentage of elderly people living alone was high especially in women and when the subjects' age, education level, and income level were low. In terms of oral health status, the percentage of elderly people living alone was high when elderly people thought that their subjectively viewed health was poor and the frequency of drinking and exercise was low. In terms of oral health status, the percentage of elderly people living alone was high among elderly people who did not have good oral health in their subjective view and did not get oral examinations for a year and had a lot of difficulty chewing. Conclusions: Family support or additional social support for elderly people who live alone should be considered to promote the healthy lives of elderly people.

This study was designed to search for the direction to develop housing service which assists the older people to live independently in their community and provides the systematization of community care. The subjects of the research include 533 older people between the age of 60 to 79 residing in Seoul and 84 welfare officials at a dong(in)-office and 67 social workers working at comprehensive social welfare institutions. The results were as follows: Both demanders and deliverers recognized that housing service for older people was necessary for community care, and, in particular, the deliverers had higher degree of necessity as people charged in welfare service. The most needed service was community alarm service which currently is proceeded partially for low-income and living-alone olders. It needed to expand the scope of the people to be served. It appeared that the need for inside safety measures rather than for housing space or structural problems. It requires less effort and cost for those who need simple repair, such as safety grips or slippery protection, and safety checks. Among financial support services, the need for tax benefits appeared the most necessary service for the older people. It suggested that more 'direct' financial support service is needed for the elderly people.

Background: Some 60 years after introduction of the Papanicolaou smear worldwide, cervical cancer remains a burden in developing countries where >85% of world new cases and deaths occur, suggesting a failure to establish comprehensive cervical-cancer control programs. Effective interventions are available to control cervical cancer but are not all affordable in low-income settings. Disease awareness saves lives by risk-reduction as witnessed in reducing mortality of HIV/AIDS and smoking-related cancers. Subjects and Methods: We initiated a community-based awareness program on cervical cancer in two low-income Muslim Uyghur townships in Kashi (Kashgar) Prefecture, Xinjiang, China in 2008. The education involved more than 5,000 women from two rural townships and awareness was then evaluated in 2010 and 2011, respectively, using a questionnaire with 10 basic knowledge questions on cervical cancer. Demographic information was also collected and included in an EpiData database. A 10-point scoring system was used to score the awareness. Results: The effectiveness and feasibility of the program were evaluated among 4,475 women aged 19-70 years, of whom >92% lived on/below US$1.00/day. Women without prior education showed a poor average awareness rate of 6.4% (164/2,559). A onetime education intervention, however, sharply raised the awareness rate by 4-fold to 25.5% (493/1,916). Importantly, low income and illiteracy were two reliable factors affecting awareness before or after education intervention. Conclusions: Education intervention can significantly raise the awareness of cervical cancer in low-income women. Economic development and compulsory education are two important solutions in raising general disease awareness. We propose that implementing community-based awareness programs against cervical cancer is realistic, locally affordable and sustainable in low-income countries, which may save many lives over time and, importantly, will facilitate the integration of comprehensive programs when feasible. In this context, adopting this strategy may provide one good example of how to achieve "good health at low cost".

Objectives : This study evaluated the stress of community residents using the General Health Questionnaire, GHQ-60, as an instrument of stress measurement. Methods : The study included 2100 residents, aged 20 and over, living in three areas, a large city, a medium sized city and a rural area, between June and September 2001. A questionnaire interviewing method was used to collect data. The data were analyzed using a t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficients and multiple regression analysis. Results : In this study, the degree of stress, as measured by the GHQ-60, was shown to be significantly higher in the following categories: females, people over 60 years old, people engaged in the primary industries and labor work, low incomes, the divorced and the bereaved, people who received no more than an elementary education, people who suffer from chronic diseases and non-exercisers. A factor analysis suggested that there were three factors of social dysfunction factors; psychosomatic symptom, and depression and anxiety, The social dysfunction factors was statistically significant for the groups described above. The factor of psychosomatic symptoms was statistically significant in the rural residents, and in the groups describedabove. The depression and anxiety factor was statistically significant in the large city residents, people aged between 20-29 years, students, unmarried persons, university graduates and those having suffered from chronic diseases. From the multiple linear regression analyses, chronic disease, exercise, gender and income, proved to be significant stress related factors Conclusions : This study suggests that special attention should be given to the management of the chronic invalided, non-exercisers, females and snail income earners, in order to maintain and promote the psychological health of residents in a community.

사회보장제도에 대한 정책평가의 핵심은 그것이 국민들을 사회적 위험으로부터 얼마나 효과적으로 보호하고 있는지를 살펴보는 데 있다. 본 논문은 <한국복지패널>자료를 이용하여 현재 시행중인 5개 주요 소득보장제도가 빈곤의 위험에 대처하는 데 얼마나 효과가 있는지를 포괄성과 충분성에 주목하여 분석하였다. 이때 각 제도별로는 물론 5개 제도 묶음이 나타내는 효과에 대해서 살펴보았고, 그 효과를 세분화된 집단별로 비교하였다. 그 결과 빈곤층 가운데 약 35%가 소득보장제도의 혜택을 전혀 받지 못하는 것으로 나타났다. 노인층에 대한 소득보장제도의 포괄성과 충분성은 상대적으로 높았으나 비노인층, 특히 실업자에 대한 포괄성과 충분성이 매우 낮게 나타났다. 이러한 점들은 한국의 소득보장제도가 여전히 많은 개선의 여지를 남겨두고 있다는 점, 특히 근로연령층 대상 소득보장제도의 개선과 확충이 필요하다는 사실을 시사한다.

Background: The purpose of this study is to analyze the factors affecting the unmet healthcare needs of older people with chronic diseases in Korea and provide a basic research report to strengthen their access to medical care. Methods: In the 2020 older people survey data, 8,182 older people aged 65 or older who were diagnosed with one or more chronic diseases were the final subjects of the study. According to Andersen's behavioral model used in unmet healthcare needs, independent variables were composed of predisposing factors, possible factors, and necessary factors, and whether or not unmet healthcare needs was set as dependent variable. Results: Of the older people with chronic diseases, 1.6% experienced unmet healthcare needs, of which 55.9% experienced unmet healthcare needs for reasons related to economic burden, 31.6% physical constraints, and 12.5% time constraints. As a result of the analysis, older people with chronic diseases were more likely to experience unmet healthcare needs if they were relatively low in age, low in education level, no spouse, low in household income, poor subjective health, complex chronic diseases, and functional restrictions. However, by major reasons for experiencing unmet healthcare needs, living in rural areas were more likely to experience unmet healthcare needs due to physical constraints, and those who participated in economic activities and who had were more likely to experience unmet healthcare needs due to time burden. These results were not derived when only unmet healthcare needs was set as the dependent variable. Conclusion: This study emphasizes the need for an approach by cause of unmet medical occurrence by suggesting that there are differences in influencing factors by reason for experiencing unmet healthcare needs.

최근 들어 노인 빈곤층문제가 심각한 사회적 이슈로 대두됨에 따라, 중장년층 은퇴 전후 세대들의 소득과 소비를 중심으로 재정안정성 문제를 살펴보았다. '고령화연구패널조사'자료를 활용하여, 은퇴자그룹과 비은퇴자그룹을 나누고, 연령별 차이를 비교 분석하였다. 연구의 주요결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 은퇴자그룹의 개인총소득은 비은퇴자그룹의 개인총소득에 비해 소득이 3배 이상 낮았다. 둘째, '공적연금소득' 수급비율은 은퇴자그룹은 전체의 30%에 불과하고, 공적연금의 비중은 개인총소득의 40% 이하로 나타났다. '개인연금소득'은 두 그룹 모두 수급비율이 1%내외로 매우 낮은 것으로 조사되었고, 은퇴자그룹에서는 '사적이전소득'이 전체소득에서 차지하는 비중이 크다는 것을 확인하였다. 셋째, 소득이 줄어든 만큼 소비는 은퇴를 하더라도 크게 줄지 않기 때문에, 연령이 증가함에 따라 재정안정성이 낮아지는 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, 국가로부터의 노후생활 지원에 대한 기대감은 양 그룹 모두 낮은 것으로 조사되었다. 다섯째, 은퇴자그룹의 공적연금소득에 미치는 영향요인을 비은퇴자그룹 개인 총소득에 미치는 주요 요인과 비교한 결과, 성별, 연령, 학력, 건강상태가 주요 요인으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 은퇴 전후 세대의 노후소득보장을 위한 정부차원에서의 공적연금 확대와 개인연금 활성화 지원의 필요성을 제안한 점에서 기여도가 있다.

The purposes of this study were to exploring the rural residents' satisfaction of living environment and social service. For these purpose we collected the data from the residents in rural area(1,000). The major findings of this study were as follows : First, the total satisfaction score is 58.9. The highest score group is housing and environment(69.9). And the lowest score group is cultural life and leisure environment. Various welfare services have been carried out for low income people, disabled people, old people, children and rural women within the social service system. But many respondents did not have chances to use social service because it was not efficiently provided many social services. So most of the residents in village wanted more welfare services. Second, the qualitative enhancement is more important than physical infrastructure expansion in order to improve rural settlement condition(housing quality, water supply and drainage, road and traffic system, medical care etc.)
