  • A research project, the "Construction of Frailty Cohort for Elderly and Intervention Study," funded by the Ministry of Health and Welfare, has been ongoing since December 2015. The Korean Frailty and Aging Cohort Study (KFACS) aims to identify risk factors for adverse outcomes associated with frailty in community-dwelling older adults, as well as means of prevention. KFACS is a multicenter, longitudinal study, with the baseline survey being conducted in 2016-2017. The sample (n=3,000) consists of those aged 70-84 years, stratified by age and gender, recruited from urban and rural regions nationwide. An in-person interview and health examination are performed every 2 years. This project is also conducting many intervention studies. Project interventions focus on nutrition and exercise. The nutritional intervention study compares the effects of 1.2 g/kg versus 1.5 g/kg daily protein intake on sarcopenia and frailty in older Koreans. The exercise trial examines the effectiveness of an information and communication technology-based program in preventing or reducing frailty.

  • Purpose: This study aimed to investigate sub-health status (SHS) of people living in China during the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) COVID-19 pandemic. COVID-19 is a severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) infection-induced acute infectious disease, which is featured by universal susceptibility and strong infectivity, and SHS (a status of low quality health) refers to a status of low-quality health. COVID-19 has gradually developed into a global pandemic, making the public in a high stress situation in physiological, psychological and social states in the short term. Methods: From March 6 to 11, 2020, a large-scale cross-sectional survey was conducted by convenient sampling, and SHS assessment scale was used in the questionnaire. The ordinal logistic regression analysis was used to identify the factors affecting SHS. Results: In this study, 17,078 questionnaires were delivered with 16,820 effective questionnaires collected, and 10,715 subjects (63.7%) were found with SHS, with moderate SHS primarily. Physiological sub-scale scored the highest, followed by psychological and social sub-scales. Ordinal logistic regression analysis indicated that man, only-child, workers and farmers were risk factors of SHS. Protective factors of SHS included living in rural areas and townships, laid-off retirees and education degree. Conclusion: It shows many people in China place in a poor health status during COVID-19 pandemic. It is necessary that relevant departments pay more attention to people with poor health such as men, only-child, urban people, workers and farmers, and groups with high education degree during and after pandemic stabilization.

  • 도시영세지역의 가계의료비 지출 정도를 파악하고자 1992년 3월 1일부터 5월 31일까지 3개월간 대구직할시 남구 대명8동의 영세지역의 85가구(대상군)와 임의로 선정한 96가구(대조군)를 대상으로 자기기업방법에 의한 의료비지출 조사를 실시하였다. 조사대상 가구원의 전체 가구원은 819명으로 대상군 377명, 대조군이 442명 이었으며, 평균연령은 대상군 31.1세, 대조군 37.1세였다. 가구당 평균 가구원수는 대상군과 대조군 모두 4.5명이었다. 가구당 평균 월수입은 대상군이 848,600원, 대조군이 1,752,300원이었다. 월평균가계지출은 대상군 635,300원, 대조군 1,414,600원이었으며, 월평균소비지출은 각각 568,800원, 1,238,400원이었다. 월평균 의료비지출은 대상군이 34,500원, 대조군이 58,400원이었다. 월평균 의료보험료는 대상군이 12,900원, 대조군 26,800원으로써 두 군 모두 소득의 1.5% 수준이었다. 월수입에서 보건의료비가 차지하는 비율은 대상군이 4.1%, 대조군이 3.3%였고, 가계지출에서 차지하는 비율은 대상군이 5.4%, 대조군이 4.1%였으며, 가계소비지출에서 보건의료가 차지하는 비율은 대상군이 6.1%, 대조군이 4.7%였다. 월평균 의료보험료를 포함 시켰을 때 가계소비지출에서 보건의료비가 차지하는 비율은 대상군과 대조군이 각각 8.3%와 6.9%를 차지하였다. 보건의료비지출을 의약품, 보건의료용품기구, 보건의료서비스 항목으로 나누어 보았을 때, 대상군은 의약품이 차지하는 비율이 57.4%, 보건의료서비스 41.4%였으며, 대조군에서는 의약품이 52.4%, 보건의료서비스가 45.7%를 차지하였다. 대상군에서는 한방의료비 지출이 전체 의료비 지출의 36.9%, 그리고 대조군에서는 병 의원 의료비 지출이 37.8%로 가장 많았다. 방문당, 이용일당 의료비지출은 대상군에서는 한방의료가 58,100원으로 가장 많았고, 다음이 민속의료로 19,900원이었으며, 대조군은 민속의료가 112,800원으로 가장 많았고, 다음이 한방의료로 66,000원이었다. 이상의 결과로 보아 대상군의 월수입, 가계지출, 소비지출에 대한 의료비의 지출이 대조군에 비하여 그 절대액수는 적으나, 상대적 비율은 높은 것으로 나타나 대상군이 대조군에 비해 의료비 부담이 과중한 것으로 생각된다. 향후 조사표본이 크고, 조사기간을 1년으로 한 의료비지출에 대한 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

  • Objectives : Dementia has rapidly increased with the prolongation of life expectancy and aging in Korea. This study was conducted to estimate the prevalence of, and find related factors for, dementia in an urban elderly population, using a newly developed screening method. Methods : Seven hundred and six people, aged over 65 years-old, in Dong district of Gwangju, Korea, were recruited using stratified cluster sampling, and completed Korean version of Geriatric Mental State Schedule B3 (GMS B3-K), the Korean version of the Community Screening Interview for Dementia (CSID-K) and modified 10 word list-learning from the Consortium to Establish a Registry of Alzheimer's Disease (CERAD). Dementia was diagnosed by an algorithm derived from all three of these measures. Results : The crude and age adjusted prevalence rates of dementia were 13.0 and 11.5%, respectively. Age, education, marital status and a history of cerebrovascular disease were identified as factors related with dementia. Conclusions : The new instrument, using the GMS B3-K, CSID-K and modified 10 word list-learning from the CERAD, was considered effective as a community screening and diagnostic tool for dementia. The results of this study can also be used to develop a community-based prevention and management system for dementia in the future.

  • This study was carried out to explore the illness-related activities of the menopaused women. To achieve such a purpose, sixty-six cases of the middle aged women were sampled the naturally and the artificially menopaused group respectively from 1st, Aug. to 31th, Aug. in 1988. For the collection of data, 1, 140 women aged between 45-54 were selected through stratified sampling techniques in urban and rural area. Among them the final subjects for analysis were restricted to only those who had experienced menopause naturally or artificially. And then, after control for age and education analysis was performed. The data was analysed by use of frequency, percentage, $X^2-test,$ t-test, Pearson correlation coefficiency and stop-wise multiple regression. The obtained results were as follows. I. As for the se1f-perception on menopausal symptoms, it was revealed than Korean women, neithe in naturally and artificially, accepted the change of menstruation itself as serious. This shows us that middle-aged women had positively receptive attitudes that the change of menstruation is follwed by amenorrhea. 2. The artificially menopaused group scored more than the naturally one: (I) on the self-control activities such as self-assessment, lay-consultation, fever check, pulse check and observation of vagina discharge, (2) on the self-decision activities such as hospital and pharmacy utilization, (3) on the self maintenance activities such as walking, aerobic, weight check, skin care, skin protect, calori control diet control, milk intake, vegetable intake, cold water drinking before meal, parasol use and BP check The above results lead us that the self care practices of the menopaused women revealed' coping wit I menopausal symptoms at the first level in community and must be developed by the adequate nursin intervention.

  • Background: Cancer is a burden on humanity and ranks as a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in China. Shanxi province has its unique cancer patterns and the burden is increasing. In this study, we aimed to assess the pattern of dietary habits and life-style in Shanxi, a high-risk area for upper gastrointestinal cancers in China and further evaluate the trends in cancer incidence and mortality based on registered data. Materials and Methods: Data on lifestyle, diet, physical activity were obtained from the household health survey at Zhongyang from 2013 to 2015. Cancer diagnoses were reported to Shanxi Center for Disease Control and Prevention (SCDCP). Population-based cancer incidence data and mortality data of 2012 were collected from the SCDCP. All incidence and death rates were expressed per 100,000 populations. Univariate analysis was performed using the Chi-squared test or Fisher's exact test. Results: Overall, deficiencies in fresh fruits and vegetable food, and intake of hot food, salted food, or pickled food are serious problems in Shanxi, especially in rural areas. Upper gastrointestinal cancers were the most commonly diagnosed cancers, and the incidence in rural areas is higher than those in urban areas. Cervical cancer is the most common cancer for females. Moreover, the agespecific incidence exhibited an increased trend before 40 years old. Consistent with the previous literature, our epidemiological investigation results suggest that lifestyle, nutrition deficient, and infections were major risk factors for upper gastrointestinal cancers or cervical cancer in Shanxi. Facing a serious situation, we further explored defensible recommendations for the general public in order to promote changes in environments that support healthful eating and physical activity habits, to reduce cancer risk. Conclusions: Our results present the current cancer trends in Shanxi and its related etiologic risk factors and provide a theoretical basis to guide public health efforts to prevent and control cancers in the province.
