본 연구의 목적은 노년기 여성의 결혼지위가 신체 및 정신건강에 어떠한 영향을 미치며, 그러한 관련성이 연령 및 부모-자녀관계에 따라 달라지는가에 대해 시간의 변화를 고려하여 실증적으로 검증하는 것이다. 이러한 연구목적을 위해 한국노동연구원의 고령화연구패널조사 1차년도와 2차년도 자료를 이용하였으며, 65세 이상의 여성 노인 2046명을 분석하였다. 주요 분석결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 1, 2차년도 사이에 배우자를 상실한 여성 노인은 유배우 노인뿐만 아니라 이 기간 동안 지속적으로 배우자가 없는 노인에 비해서도 만성질환을 많이 앓고 있는 것으로 나타나 같은 무배우 상태임에도 불구하고 신체 건강 결과에서 차이를 보였다. 하지만 지속적 무배우 노인과 지속적 유배우 노인의 건강수준에는 유의한 차이가 없다. 둘째, 1, 2차년도에 배우자를 상실한 여성 노인은 유배우 노인보다 우울감 수준이 높은 것으로 나타나는데, 이러한 관련성이 65~74세의 젊은 노인 집단에서 강하게 나타났다. 셋째, 1, 2차년도에 배우자를 상실한 여성 노인은, 유배우 노인뿐만 아니라 이 기간 동안 지속적으로 배우자가 없는 노인에 비해서도 만성질환을 더 많이 앓고 있는 것으로 나타나는데, 이러한 관련성이 자녀만남빈도가 낮은 집단에서 강하게 나타났다. 하지만 결혼지위가 건강에 미치는 영향에서 자녀동거여부의 조절효과는 나타나지 않았다. 마지막으로, 건강의 하위차원에 따라 결혼지위가 건강에 영향을 미치는 과정에서 조절변인으로 작용하는 변수의 성격이 상이하였다. 본 연구는 전국 규모의 종단 자료의 분석을 통해 여성 노인의 결혼지위와 건강과의 인과관계에 대한 논리적인 검증을 시도하였고, 특히 결혼지위를 구분하는 기준과 연령 및 부모-자녀관계의 역할에 따라 건강에 미치는 영향이 상이하다는 것을 밝혔다는 점에서 의의가 있다.

It has been known for some time that elevated body iron could be a risk factor for coronary heart disease. The present study was conducted to determine body iron status and dietary iron intake of patients with myocardial infarction(MI). Seventy five patients from the Chunam area with their first MI history within he past 2 months were recruited. The serum iron concentration, total iron binding capacity(TIBC) and percent transferrin saturation(TS) were selected as indicators of body iron status. Twenty four hour recall was conducted by trained interviewers to asses the dietary intake. Most women (91.3%) showed waist to hip ratio(W/H) greater than 0.85 while 17.3% of men were assessed to have a tendency of abdominal obesity(W/H>0.95). The average BMI of women was 25.80 and that of men was 23.98. The average diet intake of participants was below the recommended dietary allowances (RDA) for most nutrients. He average dietary iron intake was 10.03 mg/day for all subjects while women's iron intake was significantly lower than men's. However, a great proportion of participants (77%) showed a tendency to have normal iron status. About 9% of the participants were assessed as iron deficient and 14% had an iron overload. The mean serum iron concentration was 125 g/dl ranging from 13.3 to 280.6 g/dl. Iron intake from animal sources were significantly associated with body iron status (r=0.257, p=0.026) when TIBC was used as an iron status indicator. When iron status was assessed with TS, it was directly associated with iron intake from animal sources(r=0.278, p=0.05) for he subjects in the normal iron status group. He results of the present study showed that the nutrient intake of Mi patients in Chunan was not quite adequate while iron status was mostly in the normal range. Further studies are needed to investigated whether there is a possible difference in iron metabolism of the MI patients.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between depression and ego identity of middle-aged women and to identify the variables that show differences in the depression and ego identity of middle-aged women. The subjects in the study were 321 mothers of high school students whose age were 40-59 years old. The instruments for this study were Beck Depression Inventory(BDI) developed Beck(1978) and translated by Lee(1981) and Ego identity Scale developed Suh(1975) and modified by Nam(1975). The reliability values of BDI range from 0.83 to 0.87 and Ego identity range from 0.81 to 0.85 using Cronbach alpha. The data were analysed by using the SAS program and included Frequency, percentage Pearson Correlation MANOVA, t-test, ANOVA. The conclusion obtained from this study were as follows ; 1) There was a negative correlation(r=-0.21, p=0.0002) between depression and ego identity of middle-aged women. Thus the lower depression the higher ego identity for middle-aged women. 2) According to the analysis of interacting effects of depression and ego identity, there were significant differences in the household income(F=0.38, p=0.0035), level of education (F=6.50, p=0.0001), satisfaction of marriage(F=10.45, p=0.0001), family pattern (F=6.18, p=0.0001), menopausal status(F=7.23, p=0.0001), present disease(F=4.85, p=0.0110) and health status(F=9.00, p=0.0001). 3) There were significant differences on the level of education(F=12.98, p=0.0001) household income(F=5.78, p=0.0007), support of spouse(F=8.58, p=0.0002), satisfaction of marriage(F=20.08, p=0.0001), menopausal status(F=11.32, p=0.0001), present disease(t=2.76, p=0.0062) and health status(F=17.23, p=0.0001) of the depression of middle-aged women. 4) There were significant differences on the patterns of household(t=-2.64, p=0.0086), support spouse(F=3.58, p=0.0291), satisfaction of marriage(F=3.90, p=0.0212), menopausal status(F=4.59, p=0.0108) and disease(t=2.11, p=0.0359) of the ego identity of middle-aged women. On the basis of the above findings the following recommendations are made ; 1) According to results of this study, middle-aged women's depression is correlated with ego identity. Thus when the nurse plans the preventive strategy of middle-aged women's depression, the nurse must be considered with level of ego identity. 2) To study for middle-aged women in depth, further research is need to study regard to middle-aged men and their children.

Method: One hundred ninety nine high school freshmen were recruited from September to November, 2003. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, cluster analysis, 2-test, ANOVA, and Duncan's multiple comparison test. Result: Three anger-expression types in adolescent women were found; Anger-out/in, Anger-control/in, and Anger-control type. Adolescent women with frequently using the anger-out/in type and with higher state anger reported more delinquent behaviors, more health risk behaviors, and higher psychosomatic symptoms. However, adolescent women with lower state anger and frequently using the anger-control type reported more depression scores. Conclusion: There is a need to further clarify the relationship between anger-expression type sand depression in adolescent women. The findings suggest the necessity of a development of the program for lowering the anger level and controlling the unfavorable anger expression types such as the anger-out in.
