This study aimed to develop program models for single households in the Healthy Families Support Centers. Data from seven female and seven male single households were collected through in-depth interviews. The major results were as follows. First, a demand for a program that both provides feeling safe and is self-caring came to the fore. Additionally, many respondents wanted to participate in programs with families. Second, the aspects of professional quality, diversity, and systematic management were mentioned as the strengths of programs in the Healthy Families Support Centers. Third, three program models were drawn up, as follows: The first model was a five-part program model like the current program settings of the Healthy Families Center. Those were sharing-caring, education, counselling, family-friendly culture, and community networking. The second model was a program for family relationships. The third was for joining programs with others. For the detailed program, a manual needs to be proposed, and the staff members who handle the programs for single households in the center will need to be retrained.

The number of single-person households is increasing worldwide, and among them, the proportion of elderly single-person households is increasing. In the case of elderly single-person households, a significant portion of their leisure time is devoted to watching TV. However, if they fall asleep while watching TV without turning it off, it may be difficult to sleep well due to lights and sounds of TV, which can cause health problems such as depression and reduced immunity. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a system that automatically turns off the TV when a person watching TV falls asleep. Images are collected using the camera installed in front of the TV. Since the posture of a person watching TV varies from a sitting posture to a lying posture, the system is designed to determine whether or not to fall asleep regardless of the posture. In addition, since it becomes difficult to judge eye movements as a person moves away from the TV, a method for extending the judgmentable distance is proposed. The system model was implemented and tested using a Raspberry Pi, a monitor, an infrared sensor, and a camera. Eye movements were judged regardless of sitting or lying position, and the distance between a user and a TV was extended by about 200 cm.

2008년 기초노령연금제도가 시행되면서 공적 노후소득보장의 근거가 마련되었다. 하지만 아직 기초노령연금은 보조수당의 범위를 벗어나지 못하고 있어 소득보장제도로서의 핵심적인 역할을 하기에는 미흡한 수준이며, 경제적 자립이 어려운 노인들은 총소득 중 여전히 사적이전소득 의존율이 높을 것으로 예상된다. 따라서 경제활동이 원활하지 못하거나 공적소득보장제도의 적용을 제대로 받지 못하는 노인가구의 빈곤율은 노인이 아닌 가구에 비해 더 높을 것이다. 본 연구에서는 공적이전소득이 노후 생활보장의 핵심적인 수단이 되어야 한다는 전제에서 공적이전소득과 사적이전소득이 노인가구의 빈곤을 어느 정도 경감시키는가를 비교해 보았다. 특히 노인인구 중에서도 상대적으로 더 취약한 독거노인가구를 대상으로 하여 공적 및 사적 이전소득의 빈곤경감 효과를 비교분석함으로써 공적 소득보장제도의 중요성을 검증하였다. 연구대상은 65세 이상 혼자 사는 독거노인가구이며, 분석자료는 통계청의 가계조사 중 2006년-2008년의 자료를 활용하였다. 독거노인가구의 빈곤정도와 이전소득의 빈곤경감 정도를 상대적으로 파악하기 위해 우리나라 전체인구 및 전체 노인가구의 빈곤율과 비교하였고, 독거노인가구에 속한 하위집단의 빈곤정도와 이전소득의 빈곤경감 효과를 살펴보기 위해 성별, 연령, 경제활동 여부 등 인구사회학적인 특성별로 구분하여 분석하였다. 분석결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 노인가구 전체의 빈곤율은 기초노령연금 및 장기요양보험제도가 시행된 2008년 이후에도 전년대비 감소하지 않았다. 둘째, 독거노인가구를 포함한 노인가구에서 두 가구 중 한 가구는 절대빈곤상태에 놓여 있으며, 특히 독거노인가구 중 여성, 비근로, 저학력, 고령, 농어촌 노인가구의 빈곤율이 상대적으로 더 높았다. 셋째, 독거노인가구의 빈곤감소에서 공적이전에 의한 빈곤감소효과가 조금씩 증가하는 추세이지만, 여전히 사적이전에 의한 빈곤감소가 공적이전에 의한 빈곤감소보다 더 크게 기여하였다. 넷째, 공적이전효과 중에서는 생계비 지원 등의 사회보장 수혜효과가 공적연금효과보다 더 큰 것으로 나타났다.

1인 가구의 비율은 꾸준히 증가하고 있으며, 청년층의 비율은 35.9%로 전체 1인 가구 중 가장 많은 비율을 차지한다. 하지만 청년 1인 가구에 대한 연구가 활발히 이루어진 것은 비교적 최근이다. 1인가구에 대한 연구는 대부분 1인 가구 전체 또는 노인 1인 가구에 집중되어 있는 실정이며, 더 나아가 연령층별 차이 및 비교에 관한 연구는 부족하다. 따라서 본 연구는 전체 1인 가구를 청년층과 중장년층, 노년층으로 나누어 세 집단의 주거만족도에 영향을 미치는 요인에 어떤 차이가 있는지 확인하고 이러한 주거환경요인이 주거만족도의 매개효과를 통해 삶의 만족도에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 확인하고자 한다. 분석에는 2020년 서울서베이 도시정책지표조사 데이터를 활용하였으며, 구조방정식 모형을 이용해 각 요인들의 영향관계를 분석하였다. 본 연구의 첫 번째 결과는, 다양한 주거환경요인들이 주거만족도와 삶의 만족도에 직접적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 다음으로 청년 및 중장년 1인 가구 모형에서 주거만족도가 삶의 만족도에 직접적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이를 통해 주거만족도에 영향을 미치는 주거환경요인에는 차이가 있음을 확인하였으며, 주거만족도가 중요한 매개 역할을 한다는 사실 또한 확인하였다. 마지막으로 다른 연령층에 비해 청년층의 주거 및 삶의 만족도에 영향을 미치는 요인이 더 다양한 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 정책적 시사점은, 1인가구의 주거 및 삶의 만족도 제고를 위해서는 연령층별 차이가 우선적으로 고려되어야 한다는 것이다. 특히 청년 1인가구의 경우에는 주거 및 삶의 만족도 향상을 위해 더 다양한 대안을 고려해야 할 필요가 있다.

This study compared the lifestyle patterns, dietary patterns, and health care practices of Korean middle-aged people by household type, and ultimately analyzed their relationship with different risk factors for the prevalence and severity of metabolic syndrome. We analyzed the data from 4,755 subjects who were from 40 to 64 years old, and gathered our sample from participants of the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 2013 to 2015. Our results showed that single-person households had lower economic income levels, lower subjective health statuses, and higher levels of food instability than households with two or more individuals. The incidence of metabolic syndrome was 1.64 times higher in single-person households than in households with two or more individuals. After adjusting for potential confounding factors (sex, age, education, household income, smoking status, health status, and dietary factors), single-person households showed 1.75 times higher hypertriglyceridemia ORs than non-single-person households. In the conclusion of our study, we suggest that middle-aged people in single-person households may be at greater risk for metabolic syndrome and hypertriglyceridemia.

This study aimed to determine the association between household types and healthy dietary practices among Korean adults. A cross-sectional analysis was performed using nationwide data on 23,488 participants from the 2017-2021 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES). Based on self-reported data, the participant household types were classified into single- and multi-person households. The adjusted odds ratios (AORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for healthy dietary practices according to household types were calculated by applying multivariable logistic regression analysis after adjusting for confounders. Of total, 11.21% and 88.79% were single- and multi-person households, respectively. Compared with individuals living in multi-person households, those in single-person households had lower odds of adhering to healthy dietary practices (AOR: 0.88, 95% CI: 0.79-0.98) and consuming adequate saturated fatty acids (<7% of energy) (AOR: 0.78, 95% CI: 0.69-0.88). In addition, men and individuals aged ≥65 years living in single-person households exhibited lower odds of consuming adequate saturated fatty acids and ≥500 g of fruit and vegetables per day than those in multi-person households. Single-person households often find it a challenge to practice a healthy diet. Hence, nutritional policies and educational support that help individuals living alone consume healthier diets are warranted.

This study conducted a survey with 203 single households among men and women in their 20s to 40s who were living in metropolitan areas from October 6 to November 4, 2012 in order to investigate the dietary attitude of the single households. The ratio of single households who had three meals a day regularly was 2.85 points, which was lower than the normal level, and it turned out that those in their 20s and 30s had meals more regularly than those in their 40s did (p<0.001). As for the irregular meal time, most were breakfast (85.9%), and it turned out that they often skipped meals mostly because they did not have time to eat and (41.7%) or because that bothered them (26.0%). 62.6% of the single households did overeating and most of them (39.4%) did overeating because of their irregular meals. Of the single households, women or persons who had lived alone for less than 3 years or more than 7 years cooked at home, more often (p<0.05), and most of them (42%) cooked noodles, easy to cook, but women cooked Korean food-based homemade food such as rice (31.7%) or soup and stew (21.2%), often (p<0.05). It turned out that 36.9% of the single households often ate out about two to three times a day, and as for their favorite eating-out menus, 39.4% were Korean food, followed by Western food (23.8%), flour-based food (13.5%), fast food (9.8%), Chinese food (7.3%) and Japanese food (6.2%). Lastly, as for inconveniences when they ate out, most were the 'price' (22.8%), followed by 'too much amount of food for one person' (20.2%) and 'limitations in menu selection' (19.2%). As a result of this study, it appeared that the single households had an irregular dietary life, often did overeating and often ate out, so it is judged that it would be necessary to develop a variety of nutritionally-balanced HMR food and eating-out menus in a reasonable price range for their healthy dietary life.
