Abstract

This study aimed to present cosmetic countermeasures for preventing fast aging process in the middle age and accepting healthy aging both physically and mentally by investigating the perception of aging according to the health condition, lifestyle and psychological condition targeting mid-aged women in 40s to 50s residing in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do Province. The data collection period was from July 25 to Sept 1, 2015. The data was analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and stepwise multiple regression. It was shown that as the age was higher, the menopause ratio was higher, drinking, exercise volume and hours of sleep were reduced and the stress and psychological pressure were higher. According to the menopausal status, the status of facial aging showed a significant difference (${\chi}^2=39.692^{***}$, p<.001), and it also showed a difference according to the status of leisure (hobby) activity (${\chi}^2=22.470^{***}$, p<.01). Also, as higher the age and closer to the menopause in items including the progress of aging, anxiety about aging and improvement efforts, more negative perception was shown, indicating that it is necessary to prepare cosmetic countermeasures for mid-aged women in like a second puberty 40s to 50s although aging and menopause around 50s are very natural. If a beauty alternative is provided, it will help them to have a successful retirement.

본 연구는 서울 및 경기도에 거주하는 40~50대 중년기 여성 230명을 대상으로 건강상태, 생활습관, 심리적 상태에 따른 노화인식을 조사하여 중년기에 급격하게 진행되는 노화를 예방하고 신체적, 정신적으로 건강한 노후를 맞이할 수 있는 미용적 대안을 제시하고자 하였다. 자료수집은 2015년 7월 25일부터 2015년 9월1일까지 진행하였으며, 빈도분석, 독립표본 t-test, ANOVA 및 Duncan test로 분석하였다. 연령이 높을수록 폐경비율이 높았고, 음주, 운동량, 수면시간이 줄어든 반면 스트레스와 심리적 압박감은 더 큰 것으로 나타났다. 폐경여부에 따라 안면노화의 상태는 유의미한 차이를 보였고(${\chi}^2=39.692^{***}$, p<.001), 여가(취미)활동의 여부에 따라서도 차이를 나타냈다(${\chi}^2=22.470^{***}$, p<.01). 또, 노화의 진행정도, 노화에 대한 불안감, 개선을 위한 노력 등의 항목에서 연령이 높을수록, 폐경에 가까울수록 부정적인 인식을 보여 50세 전후의 노화와 폐경은 매우 자연스러운 현상이지만 제2의 사춘기와도 같은 이 시기를 겪는 40~50대 중년기 여성들을 위한 미용적 대안이 마련된다면 성공적 노후를 맞이하는데 도움이 될 것으로 생각된다.
