High sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) has been associated with metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its risk factors. This study aimed to evaluate the association between hs-CRP and the risk factors of MetS in elderly women with abdominal obesity. The diagnosis of MetS followed the AHA/NHLBI criteria, and abdominal obesity was defined using the WHO Asian-Pacific criteria. We used the data from 174 elderly women, with an average age of 74 years. They were classified into two groups: The absent group (N=97) and the MetS group (N=77). Hs-CRP was significantly higher in the MetS group (p=0.007). Hs-CRP had a positive correlation with abdominal obesity (r=0.190, p=0.014) and fasting blood glucose (r=0.240, p=0.002), while having a negative correlation with HDL cholesterol (r=-0.164, p=0.035). Moreover, hs-CRP was higher in the group with risk of high fasting blood glucose (p=0.006) and low HDL-cholesterol (p=0.010), even in elderly women with abdominal obesity.

인공함양 특성평가를 위한 동위원소기술을 적용하기 위한 연구지역으로 영남내륙권의 고령군과 달성군의 경계에 위치한 낙동강변의 강변여과수 개발지역을 선정하였으며, 동위원소기술적용을 위하여 연구지역내에 위치한 강변여과수 개발을 위한 양수정과 주변공들 및 지표수들에 대한 시료채취를 수행하였다. 관측공 중 한 공에 대하여는 다중패커시스템 (Multi-packer system)을 활용하여 심도별 변화를 살펴보았다. 연구지역내 물시료들에 대한 현재까지의 산소와 수소 동위원소 및 삼중수소 함량 분석결과는 다중패커설치공 및 일반 관측공과 지표수들간에 서로 중첩되어 구분이 어렵다. 스트론튬 동위원소비는 양수정 및 그 인접공의 시료들과 강변에서 인접한 공의 시료들간에 차이는 있으나 명확하지는 않다. 질소동위원소 분석결과를 살펴보면 전반적으로 화학비료로나 토양내의 유기물로부터 유래한 것으로 해석할 수 있다. 이처럼 현재까지의 기초분석 결과는 자연수 시료들에 적용된 다양한 동위원소값들이 서로 유사한 값들을 보여서 동위원소 특성을 지하수 유동특성이나 함양특성을 해석하기 위한 추적자로 이용하는데 어려움이 있을 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 특정한 시기의 강우사건에 대해 강수, 낙동강물, 양수정 및 일련의 주변공과 다중패커시스템이 설치된 공의 심도별 구간 등에 대해 현재보다 보다 집중적이고 체계적인 시료채취가 시도되어지거나 방사성동위원소를 이용한 추적자 시험이 병행되어야 할 것으로 사료된다.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of balance training on metabolic syndrome indicators and functional fitness. For this purpose, a 12-week balance training was conducted for 16 elderly women who usually complain of back and shoulder pain. In addition, of the 16 subjects, 8 were classified into the exercise group and 8 into the control group, and the effectiveness of the training program was verified. As a result of examining the metabolic syndrome index and functional fitness before and after 12 weeks of balance training, the following results were obtained. First, a significant interaction was shown in the metabolic syndrome index before and after 12 weeks of balance training. Second, there was a significant interaction in functional fitness before and after 12 weeks of balance training. This confirmed that balance training had a positive effect on functional fitness along with positive changes in metabolic syndrome in elderly women. In the future, it is necessary to clarify the effect of balance training through the expansion of the training period and measurement variables.

Background: The possibility of developing pulmonary tuberculosis usually increases with increasing age. Therefore, the incidence of endobronchial tuberculosis in older people may increase. We evaluated the clinical characteristics in patients with endobronchial tuberculosis above the age of 70 years. Methods: We enrolled 74 patients (12 males and 62 females; mean age $64.6{\pm}16.2 $years) that were diagnosed with endobronchial tuberculosis from March 2003 to July 2006 at Gyeongsang University Hospital. We retrospectively evaluated the clinical characteristics of endobronchial tuberculosis for patients 70 years or older (older group) and for patients below the age of 70 years (younger group). Results: The number of patients in the older group was 41 (55%). Cough was the most common symptom in the two groups of patients and dyspnea on exertion was more common in the older group of patients than in the younger group of patients (31.7% vs. 12.1%). The actively caesating type of disease was more common in the younger group of patients than in the older group of patients (66.7% vs. 39%). The edematous type of disease was more common in the older group of patients than in the younger group of patients (53.7% vs. 27.2%) (p<0.05). Tracheal and main bronchial involvement of lesions were more common for the younger group of patients than for the older group of patients (30.3% vs. 9.7%) (p<0.05). Conclusion: Endobronchial tuberculosis was commonly observed in patients older than 70 years and this group of patients had some clinical characteristics that were different from the younger group of patients.

This study was conducted to determine the proper mixing ratio of multigrains-added cooked rice for adolescent and aged people and analyze the nutritional and functional properties. As a result of sensory evaluation according to mixing ratio of polish rice and grains, the palatable grain mixing ratio of mixed grain rice for adolescent and aged people was 40% and 30%, respectively. The ratio of general grains to specialized grains was 9:1 in mixed grain rice for adolescent (MGA) and 8:2 in multigrain rice for aged people (MGAP). The ratio of mung bean to BacTae was 2:1 in MGA, and the ratio of adlay to buckwheat was 1:1 in MGAP. MGA contained the highest amount of crude protein, crude fat and minerals among the samples. In contrast, MGAP showed higher amounts of polyphenols and antioxidant activity compared to polished rice and MGA.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of combined exercise on blood inflammatory factors, DHEA-s and arterial stiffness in elderly women. The subjects were 42 elderly females volunteers, aged 70 to 85 years, composed of the combined exercise group (n=21) and control group (n=21). The 60 minute combined exercise program(aquarobics 1 time/week, strength exercise 2 times/week) was performed 3 times per week for 12 weeks, and the intensity was progressively increased every 4 weeks(1-4 weeks: RPE 12 to 13, 5-8 weeks: RPE 13 to 14, 9-12weeks: RPE 14 to 15). The test data were analyzed by two-way repeated measures ANOVA, paired t-test, independent t-test and the alpha level of .05 was set for all tests of significance. As a result, the combined exercise for 12 weeks reduced the inflammatory response of elderly women, and DHEA-s was found to have a positive effect on aging hormone. The arterial stiffness decreased the central arterial blood pressure (systolic and diastolic), prevented the increase of the pulse pressure and the wave increase index, and decreased the pulse wave velocity. These results suggest that regular and continuous combined exercise may be recommended for the healthy aging and longevity of elderly women by inducing anti-inflammation effect and improving the aging hormonal function and the vascular health.

This study examines the characteristics of traffic accidents involving elderly pedestrians by analyzing relevant data vis-à-vis fatal pedestrian accidents and proposes solutions to reduce such accidents. We analyzed 3,853 cases of fatal accidents involving elderly pedestrians and 1,786 cases involving younger pedestrian (these cases reflect accidents that occurred from 2005 to 2008). The results show that accidents involving the elderly occur more frequently in rural areas than urban areas, especially in autumn; this condition applies even in situations where the elderly exhibit compensation behaviors such as walking on safer roads. We found that elderly pedestrians exhibit a defective behavior in crossing roads, especially in complicated road conditions where intersections and turning/reversing vehicles represent a menacing threat. These characteristics could be explained by the degenerated physical/mental ability of the elderly and by psychological factors such as reduced level of self-confidence.

Purpose: This study describes a case report of wound care performed by a community health practitioner for a rural older adult with diabetic ulcers. Methods: Data were collected from a rural older adult who had a diabetic lower extremity ulcer, and wound dressing was applied over 20 weeks after the skin graft operation. Results: The patient visited a primary healthcare post for regular ulcer care, and a community health practitioner applied appropriate wound dressings and managed the patient's diabetic condition. Conclusion: In rural areas, where healthcare resources are scarce compared with urban areas, rural nurses, such as community health practitioners, are primarily required to manage rural residents' health problems. Advanced nursing practices such as complicated wound care should also be appropriately provided to patients by enhancing rural nurses' competencies in the changing health care environment.
