The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of physical activity in the elderly with osteoarthritis on stress and health-related quality of life (EQ-5D). This study performed data analysis using the SPSS 17.0 program in 104 elderly people with osteoarthritis over 65 years old using raw data from the 7th National Health and Nutrition Survey. The main results of this study are as follows: Males exercised more strength than women, and the better the subjective health status, the higher the rate of walking and aerobic activity. The group that felt stress showed a higher rate of walking and aerobic activity than the group that had no stress, and one group that felt a little stress practiced walking more than 3 days. The exercise ability of the elderly with osteoarthritis was better in the group who practiced walking, strength training, and aerobic activity than in the group without physical activity, and in self-management, the group practicing exercise and aerobic activity had problems with self-management. There was no daily activity, and the group that practiced walking and strength training also showed a high level of daily activity. In the area of pain/discomfort, the group practicing walking showed less pain/discomfort, and in the area of anxiety/depression, the group practicing walking showed less anxiety/depression. In conclusion, it is considered that in order to increase the quality of life of the elderly with osteoarthritis and to manage the stress, active efforts to increase the level of physical activity are necessary.

건강한 식생활이란, 균형잡힌 영양소를 다양한 식품을 통해 골고루, 적절히 섭취함으로써 건강하고 행복한 삶을 영위하는 것을 말한다. 그리나 최근 언론 및 각종 매체에서 생활습관병의 원인이 축산물 섭취와 연관이 있다는 보도가 잇따라 축산물의 섭취 저하와 소비 위축을 초래하기도 하였다. 그러나 이는 축산물을 과잉 섭취할 때 일어나는 문제일 뿐 축산물의 적절한 섭취는 국민들의 건강한 삶을 유지하는데 꼭 필요하다고 할 수 있다. 이에 축산물의 영양적인 측면을 재조명해보고 축산물을 건강하게 섭취할 수 있는 방법에 대해 살펴보고자 한다.

골다공증은 뼈의 화학적 조성에는 변화가 없고 단위 용적 내의 물량 감소를 초래해 경미한 충격에도 쉽게 골절을 일으키는 질환으로 뼛속에 구멍이 많아져 골밀도가 저하된 상태를 말한다. 우리 몸의 뼈는 소아기와 청소년기를 거쳐서 점차 단단해지고 20~30대에 생애 중 최대골량을 형성하며, 나이가 들수록 골량이 서서히 줄어들다가 폐경기 이후 여성에서 매우 빠른 속도로 골량이 감소한다. 이러한 골다공증은 대부분 증상 없이 조용히 진행되다가 골절이 나타난 후에야 발견된다. 골다공증이 진행된 후에는 허리가 구부러지고 경미한 충격에도 골절을 일으키는데 주로 척추, 대퇴골 늑글 등의 골절이 흔히 발생한다.

We investigated the age-related BMD, accumulated bone loss rate and peak BMD at Lumbar spine, total hip in Korean using data from KNHANES (the 1st(2010), 2nd(2011) and year at the 5th survey). We found that the cubic regression model was the best for describing age-related changes in BMD. Lumbar spine, total hip in bone mineral density difference were analyzed using ANOVA. This showed that the peak BMD was at the age of 20-24 years at lumbar spine, total hip and the bone loss rate was the highest in the lumbar spine at 75-79 years and the total hip was 80 years or older in the men. This showed that the peak BMD was at the age of 40-44 years at lumbar spine, total hip and the bone loss rate was the highest in the lumbar spine at 70 years or older and the total hip was 75-79 years older, 80 years old, 55-59 years old in the women. Therefore, in men, 75 years or older to increase the rate of osteoporosis screening, and women in their 50s and older menopause related management strategies to manage osteoporosis will be needed.

It is known that change in the bone strength of cortical bone constituting the outer shell of long bones such as the tibia or radius due to aging and osteoporosis is a risk factor for fracture. In this study, the group velocity of time-reversed Lamb waves generated in tibial cortical bone in vivo was measured using a time reversal method, and the correlations of the group velocity with the cortical bone thickness (cTh) and cortical bone mineral density (cBMD) closely related to the bone strength were investigated. It was found that the group velocity of time-reversed Lamb waves measured in the right tibia of 7 subjects showed a very high correlation, r = 0.90 (p < 0.0001), with the cTh and a relatively low correlation, r = 0.69 (p < 0.0001), with the cBMD. A limitation of this in vivo study is that the group velocity of time-reversed Lamb waves was measured for a normal group consisting of only 7 healthy adults. In the future, if the clinical usefulness of the time-reversed Lamb wave is demonstrated by follow-up studies on normal and osteoporotic groups consisting of a large number of healthy adults and osteoporotic patients, respectively, it is expected to improve the reliability of quantitative ultrasound technology for osteoporosis diagnosis. In addition, it is necessary to expand the skeletal site for measuring the group velocity of time-reversed Lamb waves not only to the tibia but also to the femur or radius.

Many number of elderly people suffer from osteoarthritis, a degenerative arthritis. Korea is entering an aged society with a rapid increase in the elderly population. This increase in the elderly population has led to an increase in elderly osteoarthritis patients. Therefore, many elderly people are greatly hampered by the quality of life due to osteoarthritis. The purpose of this study is to clarify the risk factors of osteoarthritis and to investigate the relationship between negative emotional states and osteoarthritis. The results proved that demographic risk factors, anthropometric and biochemical factors, and health behaviors influence osteoarthritis. In addition, it was confirmed that negative emotions perceived by the elderly, such as depression and stress, should be regarded as main factors of osteoarthritis.

Purpose: This study was performed to examine associations of intakes of milk and dairy products, pulses, and soy foods with bone health in Koreans aged 50 yr and older. Methods: A total of 3,201 men and 3,581 women aged 50 yr and older who participated in the 2008~2011 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were grouped by sex and age groups of 50~64 yr and 65 yr and older. Subjects within each sex and age group were divided into three bone health groups: normal, osteopenia, and osteoporosis groups based on bone mineral density. Intakes of nutrients and foods derived from 24-hour recall data were compared among three bone health groups. Associations between intake frequencies of foods, including milk, yogurt, tofu, or soy milk, and osteoporosis risk were evaluated based on confounding risk factor-adjusted logistic regression. Results: Calcium intake was in the order of normal, osteopenia, and osteoporosis in men (p < 0.01) and women (p < 0.05) aged 50~64 yr as well as in men aged 65 yr and older (p < 0.001). In women aged 50~64 yr, intake of milk and dairy products was lower in the osteoporosis group (p < 0.01) as compared with the osteopenia group. Intake of pulses or tofu was not significantly different among bone health groups. Odds ratio (OR) for milk intake frequency (${\geq}2$ times/week) compared to intake frequency less than 1 time/month was 0.45 (95% CI 0.24~0.85, p for trend = 0.022) in men aged 65 yr and older. The OR for yogurt intake frequency (1 time/month~1 time/week) was 0.47 (95% CI 0.30~0.73, p for trend = 0.019) in women aged 50~64 yr. Intake frequency of tofu or soy milk was not associated with reduced risk of osteoporosis in all groups. Conclusion: Dairy food intake was significantly associated with bone health, and its effect was sex- and age group-specific, whereas soy food intake was not. Dietary intervention to prevent osteoporosis would be effective for women aged 50~64 yr old and for men aged 65 yr and older.

일반적으로 아이들은 어른보다 활동적인 경향이 있어 적절한 체력수준을 유지한다. 그러나 해부학적, 생리학적, 심리학적으로 미성숙하기 때문에 운동프로그램을 고안할 때 특별한 주의가 필요하다.아이들을 위한 운동프로그램에서 가장 중요한 것이 안정성이다. 아이들은 신체활동 시 부상률이 높고, 지구성운동이 과할 경우 골단성장판을 다칠 수 있기 때문에 더욱 안정에 유의한다. 또한 아이들은 성인에 비해 열자극에 적응하는데 상대적으로 무력하므로 온도가 높은 여름날 야외에서 운동할 경우, 물을 많이 섭취하게 하고 자주 휴식을 취하도록 한다.

Purpose: This study was a meta-analysis of the effects of self-management on pain in patients with osteoarthritis. Methods: Randomized controlled trials were identified by searching PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, Ovid-MEDLINE and Korean database using key words, 'self-management', 'osteoarthritis' and 'pain'. Data were analyzed using the R version program. Results: Twenty nine studies met the inclusion criteria with a total of 5,998 participants. There were significant differences in overall effects of self-management (SMD -0.53, 95% CI -0.77~-0.29, p<.001). Conclusion: The results of the study show that self-management was effective in reducing pain in patients with osteoarthritis. As a result, it should be used as basic data when using self-management for patients with osteoarthritis.
