후기구조주의 프랑스 철학자 질 들뢰즈와 펠릭스 가타리는 소수성과 소수자에 관한 논의를 통해 현대사회는 이미 소수자의 시대가 도래하고 있음을 강조한다. 즉, 노인과 같은 사회적 약자이자 특이성을 지닌 소수자들의 '- 되기'를 제시하고 있다. '- 되기'는 어떻게 하면 기존의 동일성에서 분열하여 다른 삶, 다른 주체로 살아갈 것인가에 대한 실천적 방법론이다. 연구 목적은 '여성 - 되기'를 위한 노인 미디어 교육을 탐색하여 노인여성들이 주체적으로 참여할 수 있는 노인 미디어 교육의 실천 방안을 모색하고자 한다. 이론적 논의는 들뢰즈와 가타리의 주요 개념과 사유들을 검토하고자 한다. 이러한 사유를 전제하는 이유는 기존의 양적 기준으로 정의되었던 소수자와 소수성에 대한 재해석을 통해 소수자로서 노인여성들의 욕망을 '- 되기'라는 생성의 차원으로 재조명하고자 함이다. 이를 통해 구체적이고 긍정적인 효과를 낼 수 있는 노인 미디어 교육의 방향을 제시하고자 한다.

The purpose of this study is to provide basic data reflecting body characteristics for production of briefs by classifying lower body types of women in their 40s, 50s and 60s. The results are as follows: First, measurements for height-related items decreased while the measurements for width and depth items increased with age. However, 'hip width' and 'hip depth' items showed no significant differences among the age groups. In addition, no visible differences appeared in the length items among the age groups but 'waist to hip' and 'outside leg' lengths showed decreasing values according to age. Second, four factors were established from the factor analysis: 'obesity level around waist and abdomen', 'vertical length of the lower body', 'thickness and obesity level of lower limbs', and, 'size and shape of buttocks'. Lastly, cluster analysis resulted in the classification of the four factors mentioned above. Type 2 appeared the most, representing women in their 40s~60s. Type 1(n=257) was referred as 'slender with a short lower body', Type 2(n=443) as 'plump with short lower body', Type 3(n=224) as 'slender with long lower body', and Type 4(n=199) as 'obese around abdomen and lower limbs'.

Today, people are obsessed with fashion, makeup, hair care, weight control, and plastic surgery. In order to be satisfied with their appearance and attract attention, they invest so much time and money. The core values of many people are influenced heavily by materialism and appearance. Belly dancing is effective not only in just weight loss, but it also improves the health and corrects body postures like pelvis correction, and it also gives the dancers the pleasure of dancing to exotic music. A growing number of women in their 40s or older and senior citizens have become maniacs of belly dancing. The studies suggest that the participation in belly dancing helps increase life satisfaction and self-respect of the middle aged who often suffer from depression. Belly dancing has a strong effect in the life style of the middle-aged women. The costume and accessories necessary for belly dancing class help the participants) focus on the dance. These costumes and accessories reflect the desire of the wearer to be recognized in society. It is well shown in belly dancing that "fashion and beauty related services and products are used as an indicator to tell social status and position of the wearer as external elements like clothes, accessories, and physical appearance and have a highly important effect on interactions among people in society as a means of expressing oneself". In this respect, this study aims to examine middle-aged women's involvement in fashion and beauty depending on their participation in belly dancing.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of the 8.5seconds cut-off of the 8-foot up-and-go test as a predictor of falling and a good discriminator of fallers and non-fallers in women in their 60s to 80s. METHODS: The final subjects of this study were 98 elderly women from six senior centers of B metropolitan city. The 8-foot up-and-go test evaluated agility and dynamic balance. The chair-stand test measured the muscle strength for of the lower body. Ankle dorsiflexion and plantar flexion were measured to assess the ankle mobility of the subjects in this study. RESULTS: The below 8.5seconds group showed significantly low values in age and high values in chair-stand (times/30 s), plantar flexion ($^{\circ}$), and K-MMSE (score) compared to the over 8.5seconds group. This group was significantly faster compared to the over 8.5seconds group. In the below 8.5seconds group, only plantar flexion ($^{\circ}$) of all the items showed significantly higher values among those in their 60s compared to those in their 70s and 80s. CONCLUSION: The 8.5seconds cut-off on the 8-foot up-and-go test as a good discriminator and predictor of falling showed differences among fall risk factors (age, lower extremity strength, cognition, and ankle mobility) in women in their 60s to 80s without having regular exercise and a fall experience over the past ones year.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of foot strengthening exercise program and functional insoles on joint angle and plantar pressure in elderly women. Thirteen elderly women who were enrolled in a university senior citizens academy of a metropolitan city in 2017 were divided into two groups: exercise group with functional insole (n=7) and exercise group without functional insole (n=6). Method: Three-dimensional motion analysis and Pedar-X were performed to compute the joint angle and the foot plantar pressure, respectively. Two-way repeated measure ANOVA was conducted to compare dependent variables within and between groups. The significance level was set at ${\alpha}=.05$. Results: The range of motion (ROM) of the ankle, knee, and hip joints in the exercise group with functional insole increased significantly more than the exercise group without functional insole. In both the experimental group and the comparison group, the maximum foot plantar pressure and the mean foot plantar pressure were decreased, but the comparison group without functional insole showed more decrease. Since the experimental group demonstrated greater pressure than the comparison group in the contact area (forefoot, midfoot), it was distributed over a greater area. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that participation in foot strengthening exercises and using a functional insole has more positive effects than foot strengthening exercises alone on the joint angle and plantar pressure in elderly women. Increased foot plantar pressure led to an increased contact area (forefoot, midfoot) for distribution of the foot plantar pressure, but the effect of reducing the maximum and average plantar pressures was incomplete. However, wearing functional insoles along with exercise, could help in improving the stability of the joints, by increasing the range of motion, and could help the elderly in movement of the muscles more effectively, leading to an improvement in gait function.

본 연구는 서울 시내 복지관 두 곳을 방문하여 노인들을 대상으로 신체계측과 설문조사, 24시간회상법을 통한 영양섭취 상태를 조사하고 식사의 질을 평가하였다. 여자노인을 독거노인군 (LA군), 부부노인군 (LS군), 자녀동거 노인군 (LC군)으로 세 가지 가구 유형으로 나누어 조사하였다. 연구결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1) 일반적인 특성에서 여자노인의 나이는 LA군이 75세로 가장 높았고 LS군이 70세로 가장 낮았다 (p < 0.001). WHR에서 LC군이 0.91로 0.89인 LA군과 LS군보다 유의하게 높았다 (p = 0.049). 월수입은 LS군이 185만원으로 가장 높았고 LA군이 67만원으로 가장 낮았다 (p < 0.001). 질병유병률에서는 여자노인 80% 정도가 1가지 이상의 질병을 가지고 있었으며, 심혈관계 질환 유병율이 가장 높았다. 2) 식생활과 생활습관면에서 가구유형별로 흡연, 음주, 운동유무, 영양제 섭취에 대한 유의한 차이는 없었다. 3) 1일 영양소 섭취량에서 열량, 식물성 단백질, 지질, 칼슘, 인, 칼륨, 셀레늄의 섭취량에서 가구 유형별 유의한 차이가 있었으며, 또한 비타민의 섭취량에서는 비타민 D, 비타민 E, 비타민 B군에서 유의한 차이가 있었으며 (p < 0.05), LA군의 섭취량이 LS군 또는 LC군에 비해 영양소의 섭취량이 가장 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 연령과 월 수입을 보정한 후에는 대부분의 영양소 섭취에 유의한 차이가 나타나지 않았으나, 칼슘, 비타민 D, $B_{12}$, 콜레스테롤의 섭취량은 세 군간에 유의한 차이가 나타났다 (p < 0.05). 영양질적지수(INQ)를 보면 칼슘, 비타민 D, 비타민 $B_2$에서 1 미만의 낮은 값을 나타내었다. 또한 비타민 $B_{12}$의 INQ 값은 연령과 월 수입을 보정한 후에도 세 군간 유의한 차이가 나타났다 (p < 0.05). 4) 에너지 섭취율을 비교한 결과 에너지필요추정량보다 적게 섭취한 대상자가 LA군이 가장 많았다 (p < 0.05). 탄수화물에서는 가구유형별에 따른 유의한 차이는 없었으나 에너지적정비율보다 높게 섭취하는 대상자 분율이 LA군에서 가장 높아서 탄수화물 의존도가 가장 높았다. 지질의 경우 LA군의 50%가 에너지적정비율에 못 미치는 양을 섭취하였고 단백질은 세군 모두 에너지적정비율만큼 섭취하였다. 5) 미량영양소 섭취 상태를 평균필요량과 충분섭취량을 기준으로 비교한 결과, LA군에서 비타민 $B_2$, 나이아신, 비타민 $B_6$, $B_{12}$의 평균필요량과 충분섭취량 미만 섭취 분율이 가장 높았고 LS군에서 가장 낮게 나타났다 (p < 0.05). 6) 여자노인의 1일 식품군별 섭취량을 비교한 결과, 과일류, 생선류, 해조류의 섭취량은 연령과 월 수입을 보정한 후에도 가구 유형별 유의한 차이가 나타났으며 (p < 0.05), 과일류는 LS군에서 해조류는 LA군에서 가장 많이 섭취하는 것으로 조사되었다. 7) 노인들의 식품군 점수를 평가한 KDDS를 살펴보면 여자 노인의 경우 다섯가지 주요 식품군이 모두 포함된 식사 (KDDS = 5)를 하는 대상자는 LS군이 가장 많았고, 3가지 이하의 식품군을 섭취하는 식사 (KDDS = 0~3)를 하는 여자 노인은 LC군과 LA군에서 많았다. (p = 0.048). 노인들의 식품군별 섭취패턴을 보면 우유 및 유제품 군을 부족하게 섭취하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구 결과 식품섭취는 가족 구성에 따라 영향을 받는 것으로 조사되었으며, 그러나 월 평균 수입도 여성 노인들의 식품 및 영양섭취에 많은 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되었다. 독거노인이 부부노인과 자녀동거 노인에 비해 영양소 섭취율이 낮았고 식품군별 다양성 점수가 낮았다. 영양섭취의 취약계층인 독거노인을 위한 영양교육 및 영양지원을 통해 식습관 개선이 필요하다고 여겨진다.

This research attempts to verify the hypothesis that the workers in the small-and medium-sized industries use more informal information channels than formal ones do to get the information necessary to industrial activities. Information sources are divided by the internal and the external ones and these are sub-divided by their acquiring channels, publishers and holding institutions. It is intended to investigate the information sources according to the use frequency, age, origin and format of documents used. The degree of benefit to the workers in their practical work through the use of information sources and the use frequency of information sources by the department and years of experience are also investigated. The data to test the hypothesis was collected through the questionnaires distributed to the workers in 300 sampled firms from June 5 to June 20, The following facts have been verified as the result : 1. Workers in industries acquire information mainly through the contacts with the colleagues or superiors in their departments, and the junior workers depend more on the colleague and superiors than senior workers are. 2. Among the documents published internally, the ones from the research and development departments are mostly used. The documents issued by the worker's own departments are also frequently used and the senior workers, the more frequently use the internal publications than the junior workers do. 3. Among the internal documents stored in various places in the industries, the documents kept in the worker's own departments are used most frequently. The senior workers the more use privately owned documents than the junior workers do. 4. As far as the external channels are concerned, information is obtained mainly through suppliers of equipment and raw materials and the use frequency of information channels varies according to department. The senior workers the more receive information through supporting institution, seminar and exhibition than the junior workers do. 5. Among the external publication, the ones published by the industrial supporting institutions are heavily used and the workers in research and developments frequently use the external publications. 6. The documents held in governmental industrial institutions and industrial supporting institutions are heavily used compared with the ones stored in other external institutions. The holding places of frequently used documents vary according to the working departments. 7. The degree of benefit to practical work performance resulted from the internal information use is less than by the use of external information. 8. The documents published more than five years ago are more used than the ones of less than five years, Korean and Japanese documents are used frequently and catalogues, patents and standards are used to a great extent. The documents are used differently in accordance with work departments.

Purpose: This study was conducted in order to closely examine the effects on bone mineral density and health promotion behaviors following the intervention of a 20-week Thera band exercise program targeting elderly women. Methods: This study is a pseudo-experimental research with a pre-and-post design in a single group that examined the effects after the intervention of Thera Band Exercise for 20 weeks targeting 31 elderly women over 60 years of age who visit a Senior Welfare Center located in K city. It analyzed subjects' general characteristics using error and percentage, health promotion behavior, and a bone density aspect using the mean and standard deviation, as well as a change in the health promotion behavior and bone density, before and after exercise with Paired t-test by using the SPSS 18.0 program. Results: The effect of the Thera band exercise program on bone mineral density was reduced (t=8.140, p<.001) gradually after 20 weeks of exercise compared to the pre-exercise period. The health promotion behavior before and after exercise showed the significantly increasing outcomes (t=3.26, p=.003). Conclusion: There is a limitation to a direct rise in bone mineral density with the use of Thera band exercise intervention in the elderly. A change in health promotion behavior before and after exercise increased significantly. Thus, it was confirmed that taking exercise leads to a gradual rise in health promotion behavior. Hence, it understood that continuous exercise is useful and brings about a positive change in promoting health maintenance in elderly women.

Therefore, it would be crucial for marketers to understand elderly's purchasing behavior. The purpose of this study was to identify clothing purchasing behavior of elderly women. For this study, questionnaires were administered to 600 women over 55 years of age. However, the sample that was analyzed fer statistical analysis was involved 418 elderly women. Statistical analysis were majorly descriptives such as frequencies and percentages. The major results of this study were summarized as follows. 1. In relation to problem recognition in purchasing process, motives of purchasing apparel were identified as a happy event in home such as a wedding and a birthday, a change of seasons and a casual discovery of a suitable clothing in shopping, in orders. 2. In relation to information search, important information on apparel and fashionability were thought as display racks in a store, opinion from friends and family and fashionability from others or streets, in orders. 3. In relation to selecting a store in purchasing process, older consumers assessed that attractive price, design suited to my age, variety in one store and apparel product quality were important store attributes, in orders. In terms of a purchase place, older consumers purchased clothing mainly on department stores, wholesale stores such as Namdaemoon or Dongdaemoon market, mainly retail stores located close to home and discount stores of well known brand, in orders. 4. In relation to alternative evaluation in purchasing process, older consumeres considered that style or appearance suited to me, color, design, comfort and fitness were important selection criteria, in orders. 5. In relation to purchase choice, 61.7% of the respondents paid money by themselves and 68.9% paid on cash in purchasing apparel. 6. In relation to outcomes of purchase, older consumers solved their complaint against a unsatisfactory product mainly by returning the unsatisfactory clothing. Also, there were those who took no action against the unsatisfactory product and who altered the clothing for fitness by themselves.
