BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: A large number of studies on anemia have focused mostly on pregnant women or children. The vegetarian population, which is another potential risk group for anemia, remains largely unexplored. Therefore, this cross-sectional study examined the associations of the sociodemographic, lifestyle, nutritional, and psychological factors with the anemia status among female adult vegetarians. SUBJECTS/METHODS: A total of 177 female vegetarians were recruited from a Buddhist and Hindu organization in Selangor, Malaysia. The participants completed a self-administered questionnaire, which analyzed their sociodemographic characteristics, physical activity level, sleep quality, depression, anxiety, and stress. The body weight, height, waist circumference, and body fat percentage of the participants were also measured. A 3-day dietary recall was conducted to assess their dietary intake. Blood samples (3 ml) were withdrawn by a nurse from each participant to determine the hemoglobin (Hb) level. RESULTS: The findings revealed 28.2% of the participants to be anemic. The age group (AOR = 2.46, 95% CI = 1.19-5.05), marital status (AOR = 2.69, 95% CI = 1.27-5.71), and percentage of energy from protein (AOR = 5.52, 95% CI = 1.41-21.65) were the significant predictors of anemia. CONCLUSIONS: Anemia is a public health problem among female vegetarians in this study. Health promotion programs that target female adult vegetarians should be conducted to manage and prevent anemia, particularly among those who are married, aged 50 and below, and with an inadequate protein intake.

본 연구는 성별에 따른 독거노인 삶의 질의 영향요인을 파악하고자 시행되었다. 2013-2015년 국민건강영양조사대상자 22,948명 중 독거노인 959명 대상으로 하였다. IBM SPSS 23.0프로그램을 이용하여 복합표본을 형성한 후 복합표본 통계로 자료를 분석하였다. 두 그룹 간 나이, 교육수준, 칼로리 섭취, 관절염유무, 무릎통증, 허리통증, 알코올섭취 빈도와 양, 흡연유무, 주관적 건강과 삶의 질에서 유의한 차이가 나타났다. 남성 독거노인 삶의 질의 유의한 영향요인은 경제상태, 관절염유무, 활동제한, 주관적 건강이었고 이들의 설명력은 50.5%이었다(p<.001). 여성 독거노인 삶의 질의 유의한 영향요인은 허리통증, 주관적 건강, 자살생각이었고 이들의 설명력은 41.4%이었다(p<.001). 그러므로 독거노인의 삶의 질을 향상시키기 위해서는 성별에 따른 적절한 중재를 제공할 필요가 있다.

현대사회에서 개인들은 건강에 대한 내적 생각을 수동적 형태에서 역동적, 적극적 상태로 생각의 전황을 이루고 있다. 이에 웰니스(wellness)에 대한 관심이 매우 높아지고 있다. 하지만 웰니스에 대한 연구는 개인의 웰니스 상태를 측정하는 지수(index)개발 정도로 한정되어 왔다. 이에 본 연구에서는 웰니스의 주요 구성요소인 신체적, 정서적, 인지적, 사회적, 직업적 웰니스가 직장인들의 웰니스 상태에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 실증적으로 검증하였다. 총 494명으로부터 수집된 자료로 Partial Least Square(PLS) 접근방법을 사용하여 분석하였다. 연구결과 총 5가지 웰니스 구성요소 모두 웰니스 상태에 중요한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과를 바탕으로 웰니스 융복합 시스템을 개발하는데 필요한 이론적, 실무적 시사점을 제시하였다.

Among them, 305 sheets were returned to be analysed through SPSS Win 10.0 software and the results are as follows; First, mean in the satisfaction of leisure activities was 3.44(SD=.73). Mean in sub categories was as follows; psychological factor(M=3.65, SD=.71), social factor(M=3.54, SD=.75), rest factors(M=3.52, SD=.63), physical factor(M=3.43, SD=.88), other factors(M=3.40, SD=.66), circumstantial factor(M=3.33, SD=.63), educational factor(M=3.24, SD=.73). Second, the most relevant sub categories in the satisfaction of leisure activities were social, educational, physical, and other circumstantial factors by sequence. Factors that affect leisure activities satisfaction were career and status of health, which shows statistical significance(p<.001). That is to say, contention of this study is that the general characteristics are closely related with and affect the types and the level of satisfaction in leisure activities of the subjects. Considering these results, the dental businesses and the associations of dental technicians should recognize the needs to improve the time management through more efficient cooperations between dentists and back office dental team, systemized working time, and introduction of incentive system among others. On the basis of this appreciation, the dental business should provide more time and various opportunities with the dental technicians. Dental technicians also need to reconsider their appreciations of leisure activities, that is, leisure activities are not just spending time doing something but they refresh them and enable them to be more active and faithful to home and work.

This study aims to enhance the life satisfaction of the elderly population in South Korea by exploring their satisfaction levels and identifying influencing factors. Utilizing data from the 17th Korean Welfare Panel, which includes 6,260 individuals aged 65 and older, this study employs independent sample t-tests, one-way ANOVA, and hierarchical regression analysis. The results showed that, in general, the life satisfaction of the elderly population was somewhat lower than that of the general adult population in all areas, except for job satisfaction and satisfaction with housing. Key factors influencing life satisfaction among the elderly population include demographic characteristics (gender, age, economic activity, residence, education level), subjective health status factors, financial factors (disposable income, monthly living expenses), and psychological factors (depression, self-esteem). Notably, psychological factors, particularly self-esteem and depression, profoundly affect all life satisfaction domains. Enhancing life satisfaction necessitates fostering positive self-perception and capabilities in the elderly population, suggesting the need for programs focused on positive emotional experiences. Moreover, depression significantly reduces life satisfaction, underscoring the importance of policy interventions to address negative emotions in this demographic. This study is expected to provide basic data for establishing concrete and effective policies for improving the quality of life for the elderly population. Additionally, by highlighting the importance of positive psychological factors, it is anticipated that the study will offer a new direction for improving the life satisfaction of the elderly population.
