The research is a comparative study of death attitudes between male and female elderly people. There is no doubt as to the inevitability of death. And yet, there is a vast conspiracy involved in the word of dead or death. The aged are considered to be nearer death than are people in other age groups. Kalish(1976) emphasized that for the aged two meanings of death have significance for evaluating their life ; first, that older people are known to have a limited life time and face death ; second that older people are known to have suffered many death-imposed losses that are often associated with the dying process. In considering these implications, the level of anxiety regarding death and dying is a crucial factor in determining mental health. In the study, 152 male elderly and 145 female elderly residing in Seoul, Korea was compared on the four dimensions of death anxiety and assigned personal variables. Therefore, the purpose the research was (1) to examine the characteristics of subjects on the independent variables(age, marital status, family relationship, social activities, religiousity etc.) ; (2) to examine the relationship between the independent variables and each dimension of death axniety ; (3) to determine the proportion of variance in the respective of death anxiety which is accounted for by the respective independent variables ; (4) to examine whether a significant difference between the respective independent variables and each dimension of death anxiety has ; (5) to determine the combination of variables which is the most successful in explaining the variance in death anxiety. Finding from this study support the following conclusions; 1. There was a significant differences between the male and female subjects in the level of death anxiety. In turn, the male older adults had lower death anxiety than did the female elderly. This implies that male tend to look forward to death rather than deny it. 2. As there was evidences from several studies, this research found that fear of death decreases as age increases. 3. The following two variables that correlate best with dying anxiety of others in both male and female older adults : 'marriage life', 'social interaction'. 4. The variables 'age' and 'children' for both female and male elderly accounted for the most variance in death anxiety of self. The findings of the study lend this investigator several suggestions, implications and recommendations for future research. There can be no death without life, and conversely, no life without death. Psychologists and health-related professionals may be learn as much about death as they can in order to develop more healthy attitudes and in order to be able to better aid and comfort dying people and their familities. Perhaps most importantly, professionals may be help those who are not faced with death at present to develop an understanding of it and healthy attitudes toward it. The programs of death education are needed for dedication to the evitability of death and the preparation of life for the older adults. More seminars, symposiums and research on death attitudes are needed. Finally, study for female older adults has been negelected topic in the areas of women's study and health education. Future study, for female elderly, have to deeply investigate where those problems come from and how to cope with in order to the female elderly segment can live the rest of their lives in satisfaction with well-being.

21세기로 접어들면서 사회와 문화의 흐름은 자기 스스로 경험하고 즐기고 체험을 하는 단지 보고 즐기는 것에서 자신이 직접 경험하고 행위의 주체 자가 되는 문화현상으로 나타나고 있다. 이러한 흐름은 2010년부터 활성화되고 있는 커뮤니티 댄스(Community Dance)로 나타났다. 커뮤니티 댄스는 누구나 대상이 될 수 있으며 모임의 특성과 연령에 따라 아동 무용, 성인 무용, 노인무용으로 나뉠 수 있어 다양한 연령대로 활동 할 수 있다. 또한 미취학 아동부터 노인에 이르기까지 연령대별로 모임에서 성별, 인종, 종교에 관계없이 건강을 증진하거나 표현의 욕구를 충족하고 체력을 향상시킬 수 있는 모든 사람의 행복과 자아 성취를 위한 모든 종류의 춤을 말한다. 모든 사람들이 각자의 여가시간을 활용하여 자발적으로 즐겁게 참여하는 무용 활동으로 체험을 통한 춤이라는 비언어적 특징이 세대 간의 공감대와 소통을 이루며 삶의 질 향상에 도움을 줄 수 있다. 커뮤니티 댄스는 평생교육을 통해 사회학습으로의 확장성을 가져오며 전문가들이 일반인들을 대상으로 함께 진행하는 자발적인 공동체 모임이다. 커뮤니티 댄스의 정의는 누구나 개인의 일상생활을 풍요롭게 하고 사회적으로 공동체의식을 높여 밝은 사회를 만들며, 개개인에게는 건강증진과 미적 교육의 목표를 이루는 신체활동의 총체라고 할 수 있다. 또한 창의성의 의미를 자기표현으로서의 몸과 창의성에서 무용체험은 참여자가 참여 과정에서 경험하는 긍정적인 심리체험과 일상에 미친 영향력을 탐색해 행복 관점을 투영하여 커뮤니티 댄스의 효과로 나타나고 있으며 참여자들은 춤 문화를 향유를 위해 지금까지 온라인 오프라인을 통해 지속적인 네트워킹을 하고 있다. 커뮤니티 댄스의 붐이 불기 시작하면서 10년간 다양한 분야로 연구가 진행되었지만 실질적인 프로그램의 방법론은 미비하여 국내에서 진행한 커뮤니티 댄스 사례를 조사하여 펠든크라이스 기법(Feldenkrais Method)을 제시하여 향 후 국내 커뮤니티 댄스에 필요한 방법론으로 자리 잡아 문화 소외계층과 활용될 수 있기를 기대하며 무용의 신체 기능적 측면의 향상과 심리적 안정감을 줄 수 있는 교육적 효과와 예술가들의 안무 창작법의 일환으로 활용될 수 있으리라 사료된다.

This study was conducted to evaluate the nutritional status of the elderly women, who attended the Health Promotion Program of the Seogu Health Center in Daegu. The study subjects were 158 elderly women in an urban community. The general characteristics, dietary behavior (nutritional knowledge, nutritional attitudes and dietary habits), food and nutrient intake were surveyed by an individual interview. The average age of the study subjects was 70.9 $\pm$ 2.3 years of the subject group 79.1% ranged in age from 65 to 74 years and 20.9% were over 75 years. Their average score for nutritional knowledge, nutritional attitudes and dietary habits was 7.3 (total mark of 10), 7.2 (total mark of 10) and 9.1 (total mark of 22) respectively. Specifically, the level of the dietary habits of the study subjects was very low. In relation to food group intake of the study subjects according to age, their food intake was low. The total, plant. and animal food intake were 1078.9 g, 954.4 g (88.5%), and 244.4 g (11.5%), respectively. The mean daily energy intake and nutrient intake according to percentage of the Korean RDA were higher in the from 65 to 74 year group than in those people over 75 years. The average calories and the mean percentage of nutrient intake, except for vitamin C and phosphorus. were below 75% of the Korean RDA. It seems that the nutrient intake was very low. The mean nutrient adequacy ratio (MAR) was 0.59. Nutritional status of age over 75 years old was significantly lower than that of 6574 years old group (Mar ＝ 0.60 VS 0.54, p ＜ 0.05) The correlation coefficients between their dietary behavior (nutritional knowledge, nutritional attitudes, dietary habit) and their mean nutrient adequacy ratio (MAR) showed significant linear relations. In conclusion, if nutritional education is to affect the dietary behavior of elderly women, it should be included in a Program to Promote their nutrition and health status.

Although many people initially enroll in health education programs, there are many instances of erratic participation and dropouts. Inconsistent participation in intervention programs minimizes their impact on health promotion. Therefore, a theoretical understanding of factors influencing participation in these programs can potentially enhance the effectiveness of its educational strategy. This study used the Pender's Health Promotion Model to examine specific factors influencing incentives to participate in an elderly nutrition education program. The Elderly Nutrition Counseling and Education Program was conducted with 147 volunteers (76 males, 71 females), aged 60 to 87, at 5 separate community elderly centers, by public health dietitians from February to April 1997. Some participants dropped out during the program. Overall, 61 people(18 males, 43 females) finished all 7 steps over 2 months. Pre-intervention data were collected by trained dietitians. This data included individual cognitive-perceptual factors(perceived benefits of nutrition improvement, importance of health, perceived control over health by multidimensional health locus of control, self esteem, perceived health status, concern about health, depression scale and social health scale), which were known to influence the likelihood of health behavior, and modifying factors(socioeconomic variables, biological characteristics, behavioral factors, such as smoking, alcohol drinking and exercise). Male finalists had a significantly lower chance for health locus of control, and better social health status with their children and grandchildren, compared to males who dropped out. Female finalists had a significantly higher locus of control regarding food behavior, higher self-esteem, better recognized nutritional status, worse self-recognized health status and lower concern about health than those who dropped out. There was no significant difference between the attendees and dropouts in age, BMI$(kg/m^2)$, Nutritional Risk Index, depression scale and daily nutrient intake. These results suggest that elderly nutrition intervention plans should focus on the individual cognitive and perceptual factors, with interpersonal influences, to increase participation in nutrition in nutrition improvement programs.
