경제성장에도 불구하고 국민의 삶의 질이 좋아지지 않고 지역적·계층적 격차 심화는 고민이다. 지역별 삶의 질 격차를 분석결과, 서울과 수도권에 비해 비수도권이, 광역시에 비해 광역도가, 도시지역에 비해 농촌지역의 삶의 만족도가 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 충남도를 대상으로 심층분석 한 결과 전국적인 분석과 비슷한 경향이었다. 고령자들이 청년과 중장년에 비해 삶의 질 만족도가 낮았고, 이러한 경향은 지역에 상관없이 비슷하였다. 단, 상대적으로 동지역에 거주하는 청년이, 면지역에 거주하는 중장년과 고령자의 삶의 질 만족도가 높게 나타났다. 그리고 최근 강조되고 있는 생활SOC 서비스 수준을 분석한 결과 상대적으로 도시지역은 우수한 반면 농촌지역은 열악하였다. 한편, 삶의 질 만족도와 생활SOC의 관계를 분석한 결과, 서로의 명확한 인과관계는 발견되지 않아 생활SOC의 확충이 주민의 삶의 질 만족도를 높인다고는 단정하기 어렵다. 이에 향후 생활SOC 공급 정책은 공급수요와 삶의 질 만족도에 주는 영향을 보다 세밀히 분석하고, 한정된 재원으로 생활SOC사업이 추진되는 만큼 양적 공급 못지않게 그 속에서 진행되는 다양한 프로그램의 개발이 요구된다. 뿐만 아니라 농촌지역은 하나의 서비스를 제공하는 생활SOC의 공급보다는 필요한 여러 기능을 복합화하여 이용자 수요를 확보하고, 관리 효율화를 함께 도모하여야 할 것이다.

This study was conducted to abbess dietary intake and eating habits of low-income persons aged 60 years or elder. 212 persons were surveyed between July 10 and August 17, 1978 ; 105 from the farming village of Yang-ju, Kyunggi province; and 107 from Karakdong, an area of redevlopment in the suburbs of Seoul. Results were as follows : 1 ) Family environment 84% of elderly persons surveyed, lived with their children; 13.2%, together as a couple; and 1.9%, widowed, lived alone. More than half on the households had an average monthly income of \50,000 to \30,000. The average Engel index was 61.2%. As for pocket money, 56.4% of male subjects had \l,000 to \7,000 per month, whereas 74% of female had less than \1,000. 2) Anthropometric measurements 59.9% of subjects were $70{\sim}90%$ of standard weight, 93% had an arm circumference only $60{\sim}80%$ of the standard. 3) Food and nutrient intake Carbohydrate provided 73.4 to 79.4% of total energy intake, whereas protein and fat accounted for 10.4 to 10.5% and 8.3 to 7.8%, respectively. Those over 65 years of age showed a somewhat greater dependence on carbohydrates for energy, than those under 65. Protein intake was only $42{\sim}52%$ of the recommended allowance. and the proportion of animal protein to total protein was only $2.1{\sim}9.3%$ far below the recommended allowance. Thus the protein nutrition of the subjects was proven to be inadequate qualitatively as well as quantitatively. Intake of energy and of all nutrients except vitamin A and ascorbic acid, were lower than recommended. 4) Correlational assessment The correlation coefficient between poor dental health, clinical sign score, appetite index, dietary balance and nutrient intake, was significant (0<0.01). Poor teeth, illness, and poor appetite were always associated with inadequate intake of energy and nutrients. The results of this survey reveal that many of elderly of the rural and urban poor show evidence of general malnutrition, The authours hope that this study will provide a back. ground and indicate the direction that community health and welfare programs may take to assure proper nutrition for the elderly.

Home health care is one of the important components of health care services. Today, the need and demand for the home health care is increasing. To assess the effects of home visit health services by public health nurses in health center on the stat of health, use of medical services and quality of life by elderly people living at home, a randomized controlled trial was implemented for 65 years or more old people randomly allocated to intervention(93) and control(118) group. Intervention group received 2 visits a month over 6 months. Control group received no home visits. The data was collected in a one-year follow-up survey conducted at Kyongju before and after the intervention which composed of health risk assessment, risk factor education and health related behavior counseling. The prevalence rate of chronic illness was more decreased in intervention group than control group after intervention. The intervention group visited medical facilities less frequently than control group. And the home visit health services encouraged the elderly to practice regular exercise. After the intervention, the score of ADL(activities of daily living), LSI(life satisfaction index) and SSI(social support index) in intervention group were more increased than control group. And the increase of scores was more prominent in 70 years or more old people, female, non-smoker and non-chronic illed elderly rather than others. In conclusion, the regular home visit health services provided by public health nurses were beneficial for the elderly in terms of health promotion and quality of life.

도시화 진전으로 도시에서 농림어업에 종사하는 노인들이 증가하고 있다. 따라서 단순히 농촌지역 또는 도시지역으로 구분해 노인들의 자살 대응책을 모색하는 것보다는 직업(농림어업 종사)에 따른 노인들의 자살 문제를 고려할 필요가 있다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 순위 프로빗 모형을 이용해 농림어업에 종사하고 있는 노인의 자살 의향에 어떤 요인들이 영향을 미치는지를 살펴보았다. 분석결과, 외로움을 느끼는 농림어업 종사 노인의 자살 의향은 3.0% 증가, 일에 대한 가치를 소중히 느끼는 경우 자살 의향은 1.1% 감소, 지역의 소속감을 강하게 느끼는 경우 자살 의향은 2.7% 감소한다. 그리고 매일 만나는 가족이나 친척이 많을수록 농림어업 종사 노인의 자살 의향은 2.5% 감소한다. 하지만 동거 가족수가 매년 감소하고 있기 때문에, 이러한 가족(또는 친척)의 대면 접촉 확대는 한계가 있을 수밖에 없다. 따라서 농림어업 종사자의 외로움이나 가족(친척) 대면 접촉의 한계를 공공기관의 사회적 가치 증진 활동 노력과 연계하는 정책 수립이 필요하다.

Background: Only few epidemiological data on primary central nervous system (CNS) tumors in Shanghai have been reported. Methods: All cases of primary CNS tumors that were registered at Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) were collected (1973-2007: urban Shanghai; 2003-2007: whole Shanghai city). Trends were analyzed using joinpoint analysis and rates were stratified by age, gender and region. Histological data were collected from both CDC and Huashan Hospital. Results: From 1973 to 2007, the five-year average incidence rate in urban Shanghai increased in both genders, especially in the elderly population. Joinpoint analysis showed the age-adjusted incidence rate for males increased first but then plateaued, whilst rates for females continued increasing over the 35 years. For the five-year status quo (2003-2007), rural had a higher age-adjusted incidence rate than urban populations, and females higher than males, especially those with advanced age. According to CDC (2003-2007) and Huashan Hospital (1951-2011), the two most common histological subtypes were neuroepithelial tumors (with male predominance) and meningiomas (with female predominance). Conclusions: In Shanghai, a steadily increased incidence rate of primary CNS tumors was observed in general, and in the elderly and female population in particular.

This study aims to explore the difference in life satisfaction and daily activities of elderly solitaries through a survey conducted from May to June 2004 to 152 who hare moi the criteria set forth for this study. Used for the survey were such tools as 11 items of questions concerning characters of the subjects, Life Satisfaction and Daily activities(K-ADL). The outcomes could be summarized as follows: 1. The majority of 152 subjects are females, aged $70{\sim}79$, living in the urban areas, non-educated with miscellaneous religions(including non-believers), jobless, self-dependent (or living expenses, without leisure, with disease, suffering from sickness despite of treatment and, thus not self-confident in health. 2. The Life Satisfaction and K-ADL of all subjects appear in general to be good with $20.03{\pm}9.74$ and $8.25{\pm}2.74$, respectively. 3. The difference in Life Satisfaction by characters of the subjects is found significantly high in those who are females, living in rural area, educated, with religions and jobs, have diseases treated and currently confident in health. 4. The difference in K-ADL by characters of the subjects is significantly high for those who are older than 80, Buddhists, jobless, affordable with living expenses by themselves, sick currently and not confident in health. Thus, it is thought vastly important to help the elderly solitaries to realize quality of life by social (including family) assistance, economic self-reliance and health promotion and prevention. Measures drawn from the analysis into issues of the elderly solitaries from various aspects may definitely contribute to avoiding and complimenting the causes of various issues relating to the elderly people and to assisting them to cope with the problems in the highly geriatric society to come.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the levels of and relationships between physical health status, depression and health behaviors and the factors affecting health behavior in the elderly. Method : The subjects of this study were 118 elderly people aged over 60 living in urban and rural areas. The data were collected by interview through questionnaires from December 1. 2003 to January 30, 2004. The data were analyzed by descriptive statistics. t-test. ANOVA. Pearson correlation coefficient, and stepwise multiple regression. Results: The results of the study are as follows. 1. The mean score of the physical health status was 63.88 out of a total of 78 and the mean score of depression 42.71 out of 80. The mean score of health behaviors was 126 out of 165 and 3.83 point out of 5. In terms of sub-domains of health behaviors, emotional areas showed the highest mean score (3.98). 2. There was a significant positive correlation between health behaviors and the physical health status (r=.491, P<.001), while there was a significant negative correlation between depression and physical health status(r=.626, P<.001), and depression and health behavior(r=.784. P<.001). 3. Stepwise multiple regression analysis revealed that the most powerful predictor of health behaviors was psychological health. namely depression. A combination of depression. perceived health status and religion accounted for 65% of the variance in health behaviors of the elderly.
