Abstract

The subjects of this study were 514 people aged 65 and older who voluntarily participated in the senior welfare center in Seoul and Gyeonggi. The purpose of this study is to analyze the relationship between muscular strength, cognitive function, activities of daily living, depression variables of elderly people in a comprehensive evaluation. As for the data collection methods, were measured the upper and lower body strength, grip strength(left, right), cognitive function(mini-mental state examination, trail marking test, digit span test, stroop test), activities of daily living and depression was measured using a questionnaire. The results are as follows First, there was a statistically significant correlation between the elderly's muscular strength, cognitive function, daily living ability, and depression. Second, the statistical significance was found among all the variables as a result of the analysis of the elderly's integrated muscular strength, cognitive function, activities of daily living and depression. This study can provide basic data for successful aging and independent retirement life of the elderly by confirming the relationship between the elderly's muscular strength, cognitive function, Activities of daily living, and depression.

본 연구는 서울·경기에 위치하고 있는 노인복지관과 노인정에서 자발적으로 참여의사를 밝힌 65세 이상노인 514명을 대상으로 노인의 근력, 인지기능, 일상생활수행능력 및 우울의 통합적 인과관계를 분석하였다. 자료수집은 근력은 상·하지근력, 악력(좌,우), 인지기능은 간이 정신상태검사, 선로잇기검사, 숫자외우기검사, 스트룹검사를 실시하였으며, 일상생활수행능력 및 우울은 설문지를 이용하여 측정하였다. 그 결과 첫째, 노인의 근력과 인지기능, 일상생활수행능력 및 우울간에는 통계적으로 유의한 상관관계가 나타났다. 둘째, 노인의 근력과 인지기능, 일상생활수행능력 및 우울의 통합적 관계성에 대한 분석에 모든 변인 간에 통계적 유의성이 나타났다. 본 연구는 노인의 근력, 인지기능, 일상생활수행능력 및 우울의 관계성을 확인하여 노인의 성공적인 노화와 자립적인 노후생활을 위한 기초자료를 제공할 수 있을 것이다.
