The study was initially designed to look into the soon-to-be senior citizens' preferences for the life after retirement in aging society. Its outcomes are to be contributed to grading up the quality of housing culture through examining the expected changes of housing types in the future. The increasing number of the soon-to-be senior citizens becomes leading subjects in information, culture and consumption areas. Therefore it is significant to present a model of housing types for those citizens by analyzing their preferred residence after retirement. To complete those objectives, a set of questionnaires concerning sex, age, district, education and income of those subjects in 40's-50's, who are expected to be more than 20 percent of national population by 2030, were collected and analyzed to find out their preferences over housing types, residential welfare facilities, and co-housing. The results show that the preferences over the residential welfare facilities and co-housing for those who are able to move for themselves are low, while the preferences over single-unit houses in the suburbs within 2 hours from a city are very high. Preferences for apartments in the urban areas are high for those with high income and education. In contrast preferences for life in their hometowns are high for those whose income and education are relatively low. Most of those with some difficulties in moving for themselves want to get help with welfare facilities for the elderly people. And the preferences of those who want to receive help from assistants are different from those preferring to get help from their offsprings, which tells a need for further study of the convertible housing types according to their family members.

본 연구의 목적은 응답자의 사회 경제적 상황에 따른 산림경관에 대한 지불의사금액의 차이를 구명함에 있다. 이를 위해 통계적 기법을 활용하여 사회 경제적 상황에 따른 지불의사금액의 차이를 분석한 결과, 산림을 접할 때 가장 높은 금액을 지불할 의사가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 남자보다는 여자가 더 높은 지불의사금액이 나타났으며, 전문직, 자영업 등 경제적 여유가 있는 직업보다는 생산직, 공무원 등과 같이 시간적 여유가 있는 직업에서 높은 지불의사금액이 나타났다. 그리고 연령에서는 은퇴 후인 60대에서 산림경관에 대해 지불할 의사가 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 가구당 소득에 있어서는 소득이 증가할수록 지불의사가 증가하는 경향을 보이고 있으나 1,000만 원 이상 고소득층에서는 오히려 지불의사가 가장 낮게 나타난 점이 흥미롭다.

본 연구는 기존의 연구가 설명하지 못하는 저소득계층의 낮은 수요, 위험회피성향이 높을수록 낮은 수요를 보이는 점과 같은 소액보험의 특성을 건강보험에 관한 이론모형을 바탕으로 설명하고 있다. 특히 이러한 특성은 소득이 낮을 수록, 위험회피성향이 높을수록 보험 수요가 높다는 기존의 보험 이론과 배치되는 측면이 존재한다. 본 연구는 기존 1기간 모형에 비해 본 연구는 2기간 모형을 가정하고 있다. 그 결과 첫째, 기존 1기간 모형 하에서와 달리 소득의 감소가 언제나 질병 예방의 노력을 감소시킨다는 것을 보이고 있다. 둘째, 계리적으로 공정한 보험료 하에서 개인이 전부보험을 선택한다는 기존 연구결과와는 달리 소득이 낮은 경우 보험 수요가 낮아질 수 있다는 것을 보이고 있다. 셋째, 본 연구는 미래에 대한 전망이 개선될수록 보험 수요가 낮아질 수 있으며, 넷째, 위험회피성향이 증가할수록 보험수요가 증가해야 한다는 기존 연구결과와는 달리, 보험자에 대한 신뢰 부족 및 파산 우려가 큰 경우 위험회피성향이 증가할수록 보험수요가 오히려 낮아질 수 있다는 것을 이론적으로 증명하고 있다.

This study implemented a health support network project to improve the quality of life of women with musculoskeletal disorders. These activities were intended to analyze the effects of the impact on the quality of life of women with musculoskeletal diseases, continuing to base their future needs for materials and practice so as to provide a method for this purpose. On August 19, 2013 through December, a survey of 320 people living in Seoul included 31 women with symptoms of musculoskeletal disorders. Another, 16 weeks led to a total of 127 people with housewives screened as a subjects for social support networks projects. After the research, the health support network project was implemented, and most musculoskeletal pain was reduced, depression levels were reduced, and a quality improvement was noted in health-related life activities. In particular, mental- health-related quality of life was found to increased. As incidental factors that may cause musculoskeletal disorders, marital status, living with family, low income, and a high depression index were related to low health-related quality of life. Future studies can support continued health at the local business community level rather than with smaller samples. This work can also be supported by follow-up studies to evaluate the effectiveness of program.

Objectives: Bio-equivalence(BE) test is important not only to ensure the quality of generic drugs, but also to promote drug substitution under the separation of prescribing and dispensing practice(SPD). This study was intended to investigate the perception of consumers, doctors, and pharmacists on the confidence of bio-equivalence(BE) assured drugs. Methods: Nation-wide telephone interview survey was conducted for 1,018 consumers, 800 doctors, and 806 pharmacists from September to October in 2003. Descriptive analysis and ${\chi}^2$ analysis were conducted. Results: Even though people showed higher confidence level for the Bioequivalent drugs compared with Bio-inequivalent drugs, the confidence was generally low. Among those asked about the therapeutic substitutability of original drugs by BE versions, 95.78% of pharmacists responded "positive", while only 39.33% of consumers and 31.13% of doctors said so. The elderly, the less educated, who takes chronic disease medicine, pays high cost of prescription drugs, and are in the low income responded less aware of that. Also most consumers got information such as effect of drugs from either media or doctors. Conclusions: In order for people to believe that BE drugs and original drugs are equivalent, we need to strengthen health education, and to clarify any misunderstanding. It is also necessary for the national policy to provide accurate information about drugs to the public.

Purposes: This study aims to identify the characteristics of the study subjects by age, including non-elderly people aged 19 to 65, pre-elderly people aged 65 to 75, and elderly people aged 75 and over, and to identify factors affecting health literacy based on an investigation of the health literacy level of each study group. This study would like to find out the differences in health literacy factors by age group. Methodology: The HLS-EU-Q16, developed by the World Health Organization Regional Office for Europe for the Health literacy Survey of Europeans, will be applied in this study. Findings: We found that scores decreased in order of nonelderly, pre-elderly, and late-elderly in health care, disease prevention, and health promotion. In addition, health literacy was lower in the older age group, and higher health literacy was associated with being unmarried, higher education, and higher income. In terms of influencing factors, marital status was significantly different in the non-elderly group, and higher education level was associated with higher health literacy. Practical Implications: The results of this study show that health literacy levels are low in all age groups, and efforts to improve health literacy in younger, older, and non-elderly groups are needed. It is expected that age-specific health literacy strategies can help improve the level of understanding and utilization of health information, improve health, and lead a healthy life.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the difference of body mass index (BMI) to smart phone proficiency in men and women over the age of 60. Methods: Patients were divided into three groups with high (n=33), average (n=34), and low (n=33) smart phone proficiency. Fitness characteristics related to smart phone usage were evaluated by measuring cardiorespiratory endurance, grip strength, eye-hand coordination. As well, smart phone proficiency was evaluated by a self-reported questionnaire and a smart phone usability task that was composed of two categories: usage of the smartphone device itself and usage of phone applications. The differences in BMI of the subjects was analyzed by analysis of covariance adjusting for independent variables including age, smartphone usage period, eye-hand coordination, education and income. Results: There was a significant difference in BMI among the three groups after adjustment of age, eye-hand coordination, smartphone usage period, education and income. The results showed that the self-reported questionnaire showed a significant difference in BMI between high proficiency and low proficiency groups (high $24.88{\pm}2.46$, low $23.37{\pm}2.56$; p=0.037). Smart phone usability test results also showed a significant difference in BMI among the three groups (high $25.18{\pm}2.58$, low $23.15{\pm}2.6$; p=0.000 and high $25.18{\pm}2.58$, middle $23.57.7{\pm}1.69$; p=0.010). Conclusion: Our results suggest that high smart phone proficiency shows increased BMI in the elderly. This study suggests that people over the age of 60 who have high smartphone proficiency should be cautious of an increased BMI score.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to estimate the mediating effect of subjective unmet healthcare needs on poor health. The mediating effect of unmet needs on health outcomes was estimated. Methods: Cross-sectional research method was used to analyze Korea Health Panel data from 2011 to 2015, investigating the mediating effect for each annual dataset and lagged dependent variables. Results: The magnitude of the effect of low income on poor health and the mediating effect of unmet needs were estimated using age, sex, education level, employment status, healthcare insurance status, disability, and chronic disease as control variables and self-rated health as the dependent variable. The mediating effect of unmet needs due to financial reasons was between 14.7% to 32.9% of the total marginal effect, and 7.2% to 18.7% in lagged model. Conclusions: The fixed-effect logit model demonstrated that the existence of unmet needs raised the likelihood of poor self-rated health. However, only a small proportion of the effects of low income on health was mediated by unmet needs, and the results varied annually. Further studies are necessary to search for ways to explain the varying results in the Korea Health Panel data, as well as to consider a time series analysis of the mediating effect. The results of this study present the clear implication that even though it is crucial to address the unmet needs, but it is not enough to tackle the income related health inequalities.

본 연구는 생애주기관점의 불평등 가설에 따라, OECD 10개국 노인의 소득불평등을 연구하였다. 불평등 요인 가운데 개인의 초기 사회적 지위는 교육수준, 사회구조·제도는 복지체제에 주목하여, 생애주기상 비노년기에서 노년기로 이행한 사람들의 소득불평등을 분석하였다. 자료는 유럽의 SHARE와 미국의 HRS 패널자료이다. 분석결과 첫째, 지체제와 교육수준이 주된 불평등 요인으로 나타났다. 둘째, 소득불평등은 비노년기 시점에서 노년기 시점으로 이행하면 다소 감소하지만, 여전히 상당히 높다(지니계수 .475). 복지체제별로 보면 보수주의 체제는 비노년기에도 소득불평등이 높은데, 노년기가 되면 더 높아져 누적 이익/불리 가설의 경향을 띤다. 자유주의 체제는 소득불평등이 높은 상태로 지속되어 지위유지 가설과 유사하다. 사민주의 체제는 비노년기에도 소득불평등이 낮은데, 노년기가 되면 더 낮아져 지위평등화 가설을 지지한다. 셋째, 비노년기에서 노년기로 이행하면 교육수준에 따른 누적된 이익/불리가 강화되어 총소득의 이질성이 커진다. 그러나 공적연금은 총소득보다 평등하게 분배되어 있다. 넷째, 복지체제별로 보면 자유주의 체제, 보수주의 체제의 공적연금은 비노년기보다 노년기에 더 불평등하게 분배되었다. 특히 보수주의 체제는 노년기의 소득불평등이 매우 높은데, 공적연금도 총소득만큼이나 불평등하게 분배되어 있다. 사회보장제도가 누적된 이익/불리를 강화하는 것으로 보인다. 반면 사민주의 체제는 공적연금이 총소득보다 평등하게 분배되고, 노년기가 되면 더 평등하게 분배되어 지위평등화 가설을 지지한다.
