Purpose: A study was designed to compare heart rate variability (HVR) of older adults with postprandial hypotension (PPH) with older adults with no PPH. Methods: The samples were community-dwelling older adults (${\geq}$ 60 years old) with PPH (n=35) and without PPH (n=35). HRV was measured by 10 minutes of electrocardiography using Physiolab 400 and analyzed in time domain (SDNN) and with power spectral analysis in frequency domain (TP, LF, HF, LF/HF). Blood pressure was measured every 15 minutes before and until 120 minutes after the meal. Results: All HRV parameters were lower in the PPH group compared to those with no PPH. Specifically the measures of SDNN, TP, LF, and LF/HF of the PPH group were significantly lower (U=385.0, $p$=.008; U=361.0, $p$=.003; U=375.0, $p$=.005; U=368.0, $p$=.004, respectively). Further, the LF and LF/HF of SBP (${\geq}140$ mmHg) group and the LF/HF of DBP (${\geq}$ 90 mmHg) group were significantly lower ($x^2$=6.33, $p$=.042; $x^2$=33.10, $p$ <.001; $x^2$=11.03, $p$=.004, respectively). Conclusion: These findings indicate that the autonomic nervous functions in persons with PPH are less activated than those persons with no PPH. The findings contribute to an understanding of HRV and the association of autonomic nervous function with the mechanism of PPH.

본 연구는 65세 이상 노인을 대상으로 실시한 "2014년 노인실태조사"의 전국 조사 자료를 활용하여 한국 노인의 저작능력이 인지기능에 미치는 영향을 파악하고 신체기능과 우울의 매개효과를 확인하기 위한 이차자료 분석연구이다. 본 연구는 "2014년 노인실태조사"자료의 응답자 총 10,451명을 대상으로 하였으며 자료수집기간은 2014년 6월 11일~2014년 9월 4일까지였다. 본 연구에서 저작능력은 일상생활 불편감 중 씹기(고기나 딱딱한 것) 능력에 관한 도구를 이용하였으며, 인지기능은 MMSE-DS, 신체기능은 K-IADL, 우울은 SGDS-K 도구를 이용하여 측정하였다. 본 연구에서 수집된 자료는 SPSS 24.0프로그램과 Process Macro를 이용하여 분석하였고, 저작능력이 인지기능에 미치는 영향에 대하여 신체기능과 우울의 매개효과와 이중매개효과 검정은 Hayes(2013)의 Bootstrapping 방법에 기반한 Process Macro를 이용하여 분석하였다. 본 연구결과, 첫째, 대상자의 저작능력이 인지기능에 미치는 총 효과(p>.05)와 직접효과(p>.05)는 유의하지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 대상자의 저작능력은 신체기능을 단일 매개하여 인지기능에 미치는 완전매개 효과(p<.05)가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 대상자의 저작능력은 우울을 단일 매개하여 인지기능에 미치는 완전매개 효과(p<.05)가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, 대상자의 저작능력이 신체기능과 우울을 이중 매개하여 인지기능에 미치는 완전매개 효과(p<.05)가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이롤 통해 본 연구는 한국노인의 인지기능 저하를 예방하기 위해서는 저작능력을 강화하고, 신체기능을 독립적으로 유지하고 우울을 예방하기 위한 프로그램 개발이 필요하고, 포괄적 노인건강사정 시 노인의 인지기능 저하에 영향을 주는 직, 간접적 요인을 주기적으로 모니터링 하는 체계적 전략이 필요함을 시사해 주었다.

The current study aims to help field managers of companies providing foodservice for institutions to establish the more appropriate cost management strategy by analyzing the cost structure of foodservice center in institutions by operating types and the number of people served. From the result analyzing 161 foodservice centers, the number of factories was highest with 39.8% while offices 26.7%, schools 20.5%, and hospitals 13%. In terms of the number of people served, below 500 persons was 27.6%, 501${\sim}$l,000 persons was 23.9%, 1,001${\sim}$2,000 persons was 22.7%, and over 2,001 persons was 25%. In the demographic characteristics of managers, women occupied over 92%. The reason for this is usually dieticians perform management duties. For the age of workers, 70.8% were older than 40s, which ran become the cause of a rise in cost by causing the decrease of productivity by aging. Therefore, appropriate countermeasures are required. In case of workers in production, women occupy 962 persons (82.2%) rating absolute majority like mangers. This is because cooks are in charge of almost every producing activity of meal facilities. In addition, more than 72.9% of workers in production were over 40 years old, which requires diversified studies to promote efficiency of production associated with the aging problem. In proportion of sales compared with cost material cost presented the highest percentage with 54.5% while labor cost 28.3%, general expenses 9.6% and business profit 7.6%.

Due to increasing life expectancy, Americans live nearly 20 years after retirement. During this period, elderly persons have to stretch finances to manage the level of living without earnings. However, decision making ability decreases with age. One coping strategy for this problem would be seeking help from others. We examine factors affecting elderly persons' assistance use with respect to financial management using the 2000 Health and Retirement Study (N=3,823). It was found that age, education, health status, and ethnicity significantly affect elderly persons' financial management assistance use. The older-olds, those with lower educational attainment and poorer health status were more likely to use financial management assistance. However, Hispanic elderly were less likely to use financial management assistance.

Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS), a complex genetic disorder, arises from suppressed expression of paternally inherited imprinted genes on chromosome 15q11-q13. Characteristics include short stature, intellectual disability, behavioral problems, hypogonadism, obesity, and reduced bone and muscle. The life expectancy of persons with PWS has increased in recent years. Cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, dermatological, and orthopedic problems are common physical complaints in older people with PWS. Behavioral problems are major concerns in adults with PWS into old age. And aging is also associated with significant social and economic changes. Age-related physical morbidity, physical appearance, behavioral and psychiatric problems, functional decline and economic problems can be combined in older PWS. The care for older people with PWS requires a life span approach that recognizes the presence, progression, and consequences of specific morbidity.
