This study examines the relationship between intergenerational financial resource transfers and preparation for later life among the middle-aged. The study sample consists of 1536 middle-aged individuals with at least one living parent and one married child. The level of preparation for later life is dependent upon the level of household economic status. The statistically significant variables predicting the level of preparation for later life include age, education, subjective health status, household income and household assets. Moreover, intergenerational resource transfers are statistically significant factors that explain the level of preparation for later life. The effect of financial transfers from middle-aged parents to their adult children on the level of preparation for later life is the most significant financial transfer variable.

본 연구는 발달적 위기에 놓여있는 중년여성의 피로와 스트레스 저항력 그리고 정서와의 상관관계를 알아보기 위하여 뇌신경 생리학적 지표인 뇌파측정을 이용하여 분석해 보고자 하였다. 2005년 3월부터 2009년 6월까지 한국정신과학연구소에 뇌파측정을 의뢰한 우리나라 중년여성 4402명(35세~65세)의 뇌기능 지수(긴장도, 항스트레스지수, 정서지수)를 시계열 선형분석과 상관분석으로 한 결과 중년여성의 피로, 스트레스 저항력 그리고 정서 사이에는 유의한 관계가 있었다. 또한 정서적 성향을 보면 명랑과 우울 성향에서는 명랑 성향이, 긍정과 부정적 성향에서는 긍정적 성향이, 전체적으로는 명랑하면서 긍정적인 성향이 많은 것으로 나타났다. 그러므로 중년여성들의 피로와 스트레스를 감소시켜 삶의 질을 높이는 것이 개인건강은 물론 원만한 가족의 안녕을 유지, 증진하는데 꼭 필요하다고 본다.

본 연구는 노부모 수발부담이 50~60대 중 고령층 여성의 경제활동 참여에 미치는 영향을 살펴보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 국민노후보장패널 자료를 사용하여 부모를 수발하고 있는 중 고령층 여성 2,125사례를 선별하고 일반화선형방정식 및 다항로짓모형을 통해 두 변인간의 관계를 분석하였다. 연구결과, 노부모 수발은 중 고령층 여성의 경제활동참여에 일정부분 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 임금노동이나 고용주/자영업으로 보다는 무급가족종사자 형태로의 취업 가능성을 높이는 것으로 나타났다. 한편, 수발제공자를 대상으로 한 분석에서 장시간의 수발은 중 고령층 여성의 경제활동참여에 부정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 중 고령층 여성의 노인 돌봄 부담 완화와 이를 통한 경제활동 참여의 장려를 위해 노인 돌봄의 사회화를 통한 사회와 국가의 역할 강화 및 가족내 성별 역할의 재정립을 제안하였다.

본 연구는 곡류 섭취수준과 식품과 영양소 섭취량간의 연관성을 확인하기 위해 40~65세 중국 중년여성 218명을 대상으로 조사한 융합연구이다. 데이터는 SPSS 22.0 프로그램을 이용하여 ${\chi}^2$ test, ANOVA, 상관분석과 Jonckheere-Terpstra 분석을 시행하였다. 연구결과, 대상자의 곡류군 섭취수준이 높을수록 아침결식(p for trend=0.000), 과식(p for trend=0.019) 및 외식(p for trend=0.003) 비율이 감소하였다. 대상자의 곡류군 섭취수준이 6~9단위인 경우, 에너지 1,000 kcal당 서류(p for trend=0.008), 육류(p for trend=0.043), 콩류(p for trend=0.020), 담색채소류(p for trend=0.015) 섭취량이 증가하였다. 따라서 중년여성들의 곡류군 섭취가 적절하게 이루어질 수 있도록 피드백을 통한 지속적인 교육과 개선방안을 위한 논의와 연구가 필요하다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a daily life-based physical activity enhancement program performed by middle-aged women at risk for cardiovascular disease. Methods: This study used a randomized control group pretest-posttest design. Middle-aged women aged 45 to 64 were recruited from two outpatient cardiology departments, and randomly assigned to an experimental group (n=28) and a control group (n=30). For the experimental group, after providing one-on-one counseling and education, we provided customized text messages to motivate them in daily life. To monitor the practice of physical activity, they also used an exercise diary and mobile pedometer for 12 weeks. Subjects' physical activities (MET-min/week) were measured using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). Their physiological data were obtained by blood tests using a portable analyzer, and the data were analyzed using the SPSS 21.0/WIN program. Results: There were significant differences in exercise self-efficacy, health behavior, IPAQ score, body fat, body muscle, and fasting blood sugar between the two groups. However, there were no significant differences in total cholesterol, hemoglobin A1c, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and waist-to-hip ratio. Conclusion: Strengthening physical activity in daily life without being limited by cost burden and time and space constraints. Therefore, it is essential to motivate middle-aged women at risk for cardiovascular disease to practice activities that are easily performed in their daily lives.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare body image, depression, and climacteric symptoms among middle-aged women with and without thyroidectomy. Method: The research design was a comparative descriptive study using a self-report questionnaire. A total of 102 women aged 40~59 years were recruited using a convenient sampling method. A total of 52 women out of 102 were within a year after thyroidectomy due to benign disease. The rest of the subjects were healthy women without any previous diseases in thyroid. The instruments included Body Image Concern Inventory, Climacteric symptoms, and Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale. The data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, $x^2$-test, one-way ANOVA, and correlation analysis. Results: There were no significantly differences in age, education, menstruation states between women with and without thyroidectomy. The demographic characteristics of two groups were homogeneous. There were significantly statistical differences in body image (t= 8.456, p=.000), and depression (t=3.142, p=.002) between the groups. There was, however, no significantly differences of climacteric symptoms. In addition, in women with thyroidectomy, no significant associations were found among body image, depression, and climacteric symptoms. Conclusion: The findings demonstrated the need to develop an effective nursing intervention to increase body image and to reduce depression in middle-aged women after thyroidectomy.

Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the factors influencing the well-being of middle-aged non-shift female workers using health-determinant models. Methods: This study analyzed data from the fifth Korean Working Conditions Survey (KWCS), involving 5,449 participants. A hierarchical multiple regression analysis was employed to examine the relationships between various factors and well-being. Results: The analysis identified key factors affecting well-being in middle-aged female non-shift workers, including supervisor support, presenteeism, satisfaction with the working environment, autonomy in working hours, support from coworkers, workplace discrimination, occupation, work-life balance, sleep problems, workplace size, weekly work hours, and sickness absence. This study confirms that the well-being of middle-aged non-shift female workers is influenced by factors at the individual, social, and community levels as well as by conditions related to love. Conclusion: To enhance the well-being of middle-aged female non-shift workers, it is essential to reinforce positive factors such as support from coworkers and superiors. Additionally, addressing and mitigating negatively influencing factors such as workplace discrimination and sleep problems is crucial in promoting well-being. By implementing measures to improve these aspects, organizations and policymakers can contribute to a healthier and more supportive work environment for middle-aged, non-shift female workers.

The purpose of this study is to provide a basic data of clothing development that can improve the satisfaction of the body shape by examining the subjective evaluation and characteristics of each type. The types of body shape of middle-aged women were analyzed as four types: elasticity loss ladder type, flat rectangular type, thin reverse ladder type, and upper body obesity inverted triangle type. The elasticity loss ladder type was developed with the lower body, and it was analyzed that the legs size such as the thighs and claves were large, the abdomen was protruded, and especially the underbelly appeared. The flat rectangular type was the largest of the four types, and was the skinny type. The width was larger than the thickness of the body, and the difference between the hip circumference and the waist circumference was small, and it was classified into a flat rectangular shape. The thin reverse ladder type was the smallest of the four types, the upper body was developed, the back had weight, and the body was leaning forward. And the lower body and leg were poor and the abdomen was protruding. Finally, the upper body obesity inverted triangular was the highest type of BMI index among 4 types. All of subjects belong to the mild and middle obesity, and the second was the smallest but the most weighted type among 4 types. They had the fat body and big bust, the upper body was developed, and the lower body and legs were analyzed to be poor body shape. Based on the body shape of middle-aged women, it is necessary to develop designs and patterns that can cover the shortcomings of body shape.
