This study conducted a survey to investigate the effect of the elderly-related experience on ageism in college students in Busan and Ulsan area. The total score of ageism was lower in the students with the experience in living with the elderly (p<.001), taking elderly-related classes (p<.01), and volunteering for the elderly. The effect of the experience in the elderly on the emotional avoidance was significant in the students with the experience in living with the elderly (p<0.001), volunteering for the elderly(p<0.01), and taking elderly-related classes (p<0.05). The effect on ageism was significant in the students with the experience in living with the elderly (p<0.001), volunteering for the elderly (p<0.01), and taking elderly-related classes (p<0.05). Therefore, taking elderly-related classes and volunteering for elderly to build social, physical, and emotional empathy will have a positive effect on the attitudes and the point of view on the elderly.

The purpose is to investigate correlation of periodontal disease and cardiovascular disease among those living alone and living with family by using 6th Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. According to general characteristics, cardiovascular diseases were found to be related to gender, education level of those living with family; and age and income level of elderly living alone. The oral health status, oral health patterns and cardiovascular disease distribution of both groups for the past year were examined. The relationship between cardiovascular disease and periodontal disease was related to hypertension only in the living with family. Cardiovascular disease and periodontal disease are the most common diseases so considering the two diseases together is necessary to check the health status in the future.

This study examined the effects of eating with others on depressive symptoms among the community-dwelling older adults by family arrangement, using the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 7th (2016). A total of 1,233 older adults aged over 65 was included in this analysis. Eating status (alone / with others) and family arrangement (living alone / living with family) were dichotomized based on the original questionnaire. Among 955 older adults who live with family members, 855 persons (89.5%) eat together and 100 persons (10.5%) eat alone. Among 278 older adults who live alone, 86 persons (30.9%) eat together and 69 persons (69.1%) eat alone. Regression analysis controlling for demographic and health related factors, eating with others was significantly related to lower levels of depressive symptoms in the group of older adults who live with family members (β = -1.663, p <.001), while there is no statistical significance (β = -0.856, p = .148) in the counterpart. Therefore, various types of community-based programs need to be developed to encourage older adults to eat with other in their ordinary lives. It is also recommended that the community has to offer consistent care and support for the elderly particularly who live alone.

미국사회에서 노인의 거주지 적응양식은 인종간에 차이가 크다. 일반적으로 소수인종노인은 백인 노인에 비하여 자녀와 함께 사는 경향이 강하다. 이에 대하여 문화적 입장에서는 소수인종은 백인에 비하여 가족부양규범이 강하다고 주장한다. 다른 한편 경제적 입장에서는 소수인종은 그들의 생애를 지배하는 빈곤 때문에 규모의 경제를 통하여 가계비용을 줄이기 위하여 확대가족을 유지할 수밖에 없다고 주장한다. 본 연구는 노인이 질병과 빈곤에 적응하는 방식에 있어 인종간 차이를 검토함으로써 기존의 경제학적 논의와 문화적 논의의 적합성을 검정하는데 목적을 두고 있다. 이를 위하여 노인의 거주지 적응에 대한 문화적 영향과 관련하여 두가지 가설을 검정하고 있다. 첫째, 소수인종 노인은 백인노인에 비하여 빈곤과 질병상황에서 가족으로부터 더 오랜기간 보호를 받는지를 검토한다. 둘째, 소수인종 노인은 백인노인에 비하여 건강이 악화될 때 더욱 신속하게 가족으로부터 보호를 받을 수 있는지를 검토한다. 분석을 위해서 1984년에서 1990년기간 동안 실시된 "고령화에 대한 종단적 조사(Longitudinal Survey on Aging)"를 이용하여 마르코비안 다중생명표 모형과 사건분석을 수행하였다. 본 연구결과에 따르면 소수인종 노인은 가족부양규범의 문화적 이점을 그다지 크게 다지고 있지 않다. 인종간 사망력과 시설입소의 차이를 통제할 때, 소수인종 노인은 백인노인에 비하여 보다 흔하게 자녀동거에서 단독거주형태로 혹은 그 반대방향으로 거주지 변화를 경험하고 있다. 백인 노인은 소수인종에 비하여 질병상태와 관련하여 자녀와 동거하는 경향이 더 강하다. 사망력과 시설입소의 인종간 차이를 통제할 때 소수인종노인이 백인노인보다 쉽게 자녀동거에서 단독거주로 이행하는데 이는 소수인종에서 가족부양체계가 불안정함을 의미한다. 또한 빈곤시에 소수인종 노인은 백인노인에 비하여 쉽게 자녀와 떨어져 살게 된다. 이러한 결과는 소수인종 노인에 대한 가족의 지원은 그 가족의 경제적 제약속에서 매우 안정적이지 못함을 시사한다. 못함을 시사한다.

본 연구의 목적은 한국에서 장래에 이루어질 노인주거연구의 주제를 예측할 수 있도록 일본, 미국, 한국의 노인주거연구의 경향의 차이를 파악하고 비교하기 위한 것이다. 본 연구는 세나라에서 1940년대부터 1990년대 현대까지 발표된 노인주거연구에 대한 학술지와 논문을 분석함으로써 이루어졌다. 세 나라에서 전체 772편의 논문을 수집하여 이를 발표된 연도와 주제에 따라 분류하였다. 본 연구는 일본과 미국의 연구 경향의 특징을 별도로 발표한 후속 연구이다. 일본에서는 1950년대에 노인주거에 대한 연구가 시작되어 80년대 후반에 절정을 이루었으며, 그 이후로 서서히 관심이 줄어들고 있는 추세이다. 일본에서의 주요 주제는 노인홈과 노인시설내의 주 생활조사, 3대 동거 주택, 유료노인홈과 노인시설의 소비자 문제등이다. 미국의 경우, 노인주거의 연구는 일본보다 빠른 1940년대에 시작되어 70년대와 80년대에 걸쳐서 다른 때보다 더 많은 연구가 발표되었다. 주요주제는 1970년대부터 80년대에는 노인주거와 노인시설에 집중되어 있었으나 80년대 이후에 노인주거의 연구방법과 노인주택정책방향으로 관심이 바뀌고 있다. 한국에서의 노인주거에 대한 연구는 세나라 중에서 가장 늦은, 1970년대 후반부터 시작되어 80년대 후반 이래로 그 관심이 점점 증가하고 있다. 한국에서 가장 관심이 있는 연구대상의 하나는 일본과 마찬가지로 기혼자녀와 노부모와의 동거주택에 대한 주제이다. 이상 세나라의 연구주제에서의 차이점은, 한국과 일본에서는 모두 노인주거와 연구방법 분야에는 비교적 관심이 적은 반면, 미국에서는 3대동거주택에 대한 관심이 적은 것이다. 일본과 미국 두나라에 비하여 한국에서는 노인주거 연구에 있어서 아직까지 다양한 주제를 발견하기 어려운데 그 이유는 한국에서는 노인주거에 대한 구체적인 개발이 아직까지 이루어지지 않아서 노인주거에 대한 경험도 많지 않기 때문이라고 생각된다. 앞으로 한국에서도 노인주거가 개발된다면 그 후에는 보다 다양한 연구주제가 나타날 것이라고 기대된다. 예를 들면 노인거주시설의 질적인 비교, 특수한 형태의 노인주거에 대한 요구, 노인주거내의 주생활조사나 평가, 노인을 위한 설비의 디자인 등에 관한 연구들을 생각해 볼 수 있다.

This study conducts empirical research on gender differentials of economic resources in old age. The economic resources are assessed by the presence of independent income source and the amount of total income. The study, based on nation-wide survey of the elderly, examines the effects of individual level variables and household level ones. Also, it compares such effects between male and female elderly. The analysis shows that several variables have gender specific effects. Among them, particularly interesting and important are marital status and coresidence with children. The positive effect of having spouse is greater among female elderly than among male elderly. Also, while coresidence with children among male elderly has insignificant or slightly positive relation to their own economic resources, it has a negative relation among female elderly. These results indicate that female elderly are dependent on their husbands and children. The study suggests that future research on the elderly incorporate gender differentials into models attempting to capture diversity within the elderly population.
