Purpose: The purposes of this study were to better understand types of health behavior in middle aged women in the Korean agricultural society, understand their nursing needs, and eventually present guidelines to develop proper nursing interventions. Method: Participants for this study were 16 middle aged women from farming communities, who lived in C county and were independent and without chronic ailments. In collection and analysis of data Strauss & Cortin's (1997) research processes and methods were used. The period of data collection was between April 2001 and February 2002. Result: The results of the study showed that the core category was the family-oriented process of $yangsaeng^{1)}$, and four types of health behaviors were observed; $momboyang^{2)}$ maintenance of health through daily life, managing mental health, and managing illness. Each type was perceived to differ from the other in the terms of health behavior priority which was largely affected by the cultural surrounding, for example, degree of attention to children's education and tendency to a traditional role for women. Conclusion: In conclusion, nurses need to understand various types of health behavior in middle aged women. The findings from this study can be applied to the development of Korean nursing interventions that are based on health behavior among middle aged women in the Korean agricultural society. These interventions can then. be based upon understanding of Korean culture rather than drawn only from Western concepts of health behavior.

For the life quality improvement of rural elderly family placed in risk of frail, this study was investigated. Health habit, food habit, and dietary management were analyzed between elderly and middle aged family The subjects 1870 collected in 9 provinces 88 cities or guns by sampling with probability proportional to size(PPS). Questionnaire method was used. Survey was conducted by trained interviewers. Statistical analyses were performed using SAS(version 8.1). Chi-square tests and General Linear Models were used. The elderly families' characters were odd pair$(42.0\%)$, with patients$(17.6\%)$ and health examination per 1 or 2 years$(44.0\%)$. The elderly families' health habit: high of no-drink$(55.2\%)$ and low of smoke$(31.3\%)$ situation was better than those of middle aged families'. The states of diets of elderly family: having breakfast$(94.1\%)$ but 1-2 kinds$(17.7\%)$ or 3-4 kinds$(59.4\%)$ of side dishes allowed to guess lower status of food intake balance. Nutritional supplements$(27.5\%)$with tablets of vitamins$(63.5\%)$ were the most frequent states in elderly family. The aspects of dietary habit of elderly family: no instant foods$(72.6\%)$, no snack$(3.08\%)$ and no dine-out$(67.7\%)$ were significantly different with those of middle aged family. Dietary habit score(8.28/12 points) of elderly family was not significantly different with 8.22/12 points of middle aged family. Food purchase place of elderly family was mainly at traditional market$(43.6\%)$, but it was significantly different with super-market$(47.6\%)$ of middle aged family. In elderly family, traditional dish preparation was seldom$(49.8\%)$ except winter kimchi$(91.5\%)$, but significantly higher rate of in middle aged families' traditional dish preparation and winter kimchi$(94.5\%)$. From these results, more of snack, traditional dishes and dine-out were needed to improve quality of life for rural elderly.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Regional disparities in dietary factors might be related to regional disparities in cardiometabolic health. Therefore, this study investigated the associations of cardiometabolic risk factors and dietary factors with regional types in Korean adults. SUBJECTS/METHODS: Based on data from the 2007-2017 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, the study included 39,781 adults aged ≥ 19 years who completed the dietary survey and a health examination. Healthy and unhealthy dietary factors (fat, sodium, fruit, and vegetable intakes) were evaluated using 1-day 24-h dietary recall method, as well as the use of nutrition labels with a questionnaire. RESULTS: Of the participants, 48.7%, 36.0%, and 15.2% lived in metropolitan, urban, and rural areas, respectively. Adults living in urban and rural had higher odds ratios (ORs) for obesity (OR for urban, 1.07; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.01-1.14; OR for rural, 1.14; 95% CI, 1.05-1.24) than adults living in metropolitan areas; these associations were significantly observed in middle-aged adults. Compared to metropolitan residents, rural residents had lower ORs for hypertension in middle-aged (OR, 0.86; 95% CI, 0.76-0.96) and metabolic syndrome in older adults (OR, 0.78; 95% CI, 0.67-0.91). Regarding urban residents, a lower OR for diabetes in middle-aged adults (OR, 0.85; 95% CI, 0.74-0.97) and a higher OR for hypertension in older adults (OR, 1.19; 95% CI, 1.02-1.39) were observed. Overall rural residents had higher ORs of excessive carbohydrate, low fruit, and high salted-vegetable intakes than metropolitan residents. Low fruit intake was positively associated with obesity, metabolic syndrome, and hypertension, after adjustment for regional type and other confounders in total participants. CONCLUSIONS: These findings indicate that cardiometabolic risk and unhealthy dietary factors differ among regional types and age groups within Korea. Nutritional policy and interventions should consider regional types for prevention and management of cardiometabolic risk factors.

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.
