Purpose: This was a methodological study that aimed to develop a measurement scale for aging anxiety among middle-aged women. Methods: In this study, construct factors were extracted, and a conceptual framework was established through an extensive literature review and in-depth interviews with middle-aged women. Under the conceptual framework, 44 preliminary items were constructed, and a preliminary scale of 25 items was completed after two rounds of expert validation and item review. For this study, data were collected from 201 women aged 40~59 years, and the construct validity and reliability of the preliminary scale were verified. Results: To verify the construct validity, exploratory factor analysis was conducted. Four factors containing 19 items were extracted. Concurrent validity of the developed scale was verified with Pearson's correlation analysis. The final scale comprised 4 factors ("Social valueless", "Physical weakness", "Concern about changes in appearance", and "Expectations of old age") and 19 items. The Cronbach's ${\alpha}$ value was .91. Conclusion: The scale for measuring aging anxiety in middle-aged women developed in this study validly reflected the peculiarities of aging anxiety in middle-aged women, who experience many physical, emotional, and social changes. The scale can be said to reflect the cultural background, as it reflected real experiences gained through in-depth interviews with middle-aged women.

Objectives: A community-based, cross-sectional survey was conducted to determine theprevalence of osteoporosis and to evaluate the effects of body composition, health behaviors and reproductive history on bone density in postmenopausal women. Methods: The study subjects were 362 postmenopausal women, aged 45 years old or over, who were invited to the hospital. Information on their socio-demographic characteristics and the potential risk factors such as their past medical history, smoking, alcohol intake, exercise, diet and menstrual/reproductive histories were collected by trained interviewers. Weight, height, the body mass index ($kg/m^{2}$), and body composition variables were measured. Bone mineral density of the lumbar spine was measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Results: The prevalence of osteoporosis was 30.6% in the $45{\sim}64$ years old women, 52.5% in the elderly women aged $65{\sim}74$, and 68.7% in the women aged 75 years or over. After adjustment for the effect of potential covariates, those women in the highest 25% (4th quartile) of the lean body mass are less likely to have osteoporosis (aOR=0.31, 95% CI=0.12-0.76), compared with the lowest quartile group. More parity also had significantly detrimental effects on osteoporosis. Conclusions: These findings suggest that the prevalence of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women increased with age from 46.3% of those aged 45-64 to 68.7% for those aged 75 and over. Lean body mass and parity appeared significant contributor to bone mineral density in postmenopausal women in this population.

The purpose of the study was to investigate jean consumption among middle-aged Korean women and the characteristics of consumers as potential jean consumers. The data were collected from the survey of 238 Korean women aged 45 to 64 years old. The respondents prefer outlet store to other retail outlets and wear jeans mainly for travel, grocery shopping, and outing. The main reason for not wearing jeans is body change, which leads to poor fit in abdomen and waist area. The sample was clustered into two groups based on interest in jeans: high-interest and low-interest group. From the examination of group differences, the high-interest group rated conformity/brand reputation, scarcity, and attractiveness of appearance significantly higher compared to the low-interest group among the five clothing benefits pursued. No difference was found in obesity and body satisfaction. Group differences were found in recent purchase, price, number of jeans owned, and frequency of wearing jeans. The results suggest the characteristics of the potential jean market among middle-aged women in Korea. Implications are discussed.

본 연구의 목적은 독거여부와 거주지역에 따라 중년기와 노년기 남성과 여성의 악력에 차이가 있는지를 탐색하는 데에 있다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 한국고령화연구패널 5차년도 자료를 활용하였다. 독립변수는 독거여부와 거주지역(도시, 비도시)이며, 종속변수는 악력이다. 통제변수로는 연령, 교육수준, 로그변환된 가구소득, 배우자 여부, BMI(Body Max Index), 주관적 건강, 우울감, 인지기능 수준, 흡연여부, 규칙적 운동여부, 친한 친구와 만나는 횟수, 참여하는 사회적 모임의 수가 모형에 포함되었다. 분석은 중년기 남성과 여성, 노년기 남성과 여성을 대상으로 각각 실시되었으며, 분산분석과 카이검증, 상관분석, 회귀분석을 통해 자료가 분석되었다. 회귀분석 이후 유의한 분석결과에 대한 구체적인 논의를 위해 독거여부와 거주지역의 상호작용항이 유의한 집단을 대상으로 분산분석과 카이검증이 추가적으로 실시되었다. 모든 분석에는 한국고령화연구패널의 5차년도 횡단 가중치가 적용되었다. 본 연구결과 노년기 여성들의 악력 평균이 악력의 이상치를 판별하는 절단점 점수와 유사한 것으로 나타나 노년기 여성들이 다른 생애주기나 노년기 남성들과 비교했을 때 악력과 관련하여 임상적 취약집단에 속하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 중년 남성과 노년기 남성, 노년기 여성에게서는 독거여부와 거주지역에 따른 악력 차이가 통계적으로 유의미하지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 중년 여성들에게 있어서는 독거여부와 거주지역에 따른 악력 차이가 통계적으로 유의미한 것으로 나타났다. 구체적으로, 비도시 지역에 홀로 거주하는 독거 중년 여성이 다른 중년 여성들에 비해 평균적으로 가장 낮은 악력을 가진 것으로 나타났다. 추가적인 분석에 따르면 비도시 독거 중년 여성은 낮은 학력과 낮은 가구 소득 등 다른 중년 여성들에 비해 건강에 더 취약한 요인들을 많이 가지고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 본 연구결과는 노년기 여성과 비도시에 홀로 거주하는 중년기 독거 여성들에게 악력과 관련된 개입이 필요함을 시사한다. 본 연구는 국가 전체를 대표하는 대표성 있는 패널자료를 사용하여 가중치를 적용한 분석을 통해 일반화 가능성을 높였다는 점에서 중노년기 악력과 관련한 정책적 대상자를 선정하는 것과 관련한 신뢰성 있는 정보를 제공할 수 있다는 의의가 있다.
