Health promotion has more comprehensive approaches in recent years. Nevertheless we accept the concept of health promotion differently, we are agree on that community is the most important field in health promotion which includes population at the aspect of health policy, individual skill and, environment. And there are a number of different approaches to health promotion. In them, 'population approaches' and 'high -risk group approaches' has the most different characteristics. 'Population approaches' is equally important or more important than 'individual approaches' for maintaining and promoting population health. Almost part of this article contents is the summary of the guideline and population strategy of health promotion in Korea, 1999 - 2005. Community based health promotion program should be reinforced, integrated, comprehensive, collaborative through efficiently utilizing community resources. Recent new orientation of community health program is integrated health program, we can find this orientation at Ottawa charter 1986. Comprehensive approaches with the determinant factors for health are essential task. Physical activity is a key health determinant. The population-health approach suggests that educating people about physical activity is not enough. Individual behavior changes are important too, but need to be balanced with strategies for environmental change. Population strategy with physical activity for health promotion should be developed through improving social and physical supportive environment, linking and integrating community resources between public and private sectors in national, regional and local level. Continuous public education and social marketing should be provided through collaborating with community physical activity organization, facilities, work-places and school for increasing concern of all the people of community about physical activity. Governments, agencies and citizens should held and participate to building movement. And the strategy that various 'active for life' program should be developed, delivered, maintained and reinforced continuously. Basically, adequate and sufficient financing, developing human resources, policies and legislation would be provided and supported fully too. At last, research development and knowledge exchange are required domestically and internationally. In Korea, we had classified the category of strategic priority of physical activity programs by environmental support, life-course approach, high-risk group approach and disease group approach for physical activity program based on community health center. Community based core programs for physical activity that includes infrastructure building and establishment of supporting environment, community campaign, health promotion education and public service announcement, physical activity programs for elderly and obesity, exercise prescription program.

This study was done to evaluate the effects of a transtheoretical model (TTM) based exercise behavior improving program for older adults with hypertension on the stage of change, processes of change, decisional balance, exercise self-efficacy, blood pressure and physical activity. A non-equivalent control pre-post design was used for this study. The subjects were 41 adults over 65 years of age with hypertension who did not practice regular exercise. The experimental group (n=20) received the 8-week TTM based exercise behavior improving program. The control group received hypertension self care management education. Descriptive analysis, $x^2$-test, t-test, paired t-test were used for analyzing the data using SPSS for Windows 14.0. As a results, there was a significant increase in stage of change, total score for processes of change, behavioral process of change, exercise self-efficacy, total physical activity, and walking in the experimental group compared to the control group. But, there were no significant differences between the two groups on the experiential processes of change, decisional balance, and blood pressure. The results of this study suggest that a TTM based exercise behavior improving program has positive effects on improving exercise behavior among older adults with hypertension.

We aimed to provide evidences for developing non-pharmacological intervention in older adults with Mild Cognitive Impairment(MCI) by integrated literature review. The final 16 papers were selected as a result of an integrated literature analysis. All of them are focused on strengthening cognitive activities, while Korean studies have often merged emotional activities such as music therapy and laughter therapy rather than physical activities such as exercise therapy, international studies have combined physical activities rather than emotional activities. The effects of non-pharmacological intervention differed according to the outcome variables. The primary variables were cognitive function and depression, and secondary variables were found to have effects on physical function, activities of daily living (ADL), and self-efficacy. This study contributes to a multidisciplinary approach that can be applied in the clinical field through the development of various non-pharmaceutical intervention for the prevention of dementia in the older adults with MCI.

Purpose: This study was to evaluate the effects of a physical activity reinforcement program on exercise compliance, depression, and anxiety in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis(CAPD) patients. Method: A nonequivalent control group with a pre-post test was designed. Data collection was done from December, 2002 to June, 2003 at a hoapital. The degree of depression and anxiety of the patients was assessed by the score of SCL-90-R, and exercise compliance was measured by exercise period, frequency, time and intensity. The experimental group was composed of 19 participants who were educated based on an exercise education protocol and carried out walking exercises two to four times a week after hearing verbal persuasion biweekly through the telephone or a face-to-face interview for 12 weeks, while 17 participants in control group received no intervention. Result: 1. The experimental group showed significant improvement in self-efficacy of exercise compliance (U=79.00, p=.01), exercise period ($x^2$=20.84, p=.00), exercise frequency ($x^2$=9.03, p=.0l), exercise time ($x^2$=9.03, p=.0l) and exercise intensity ($x^2$=11.09, p=.00) compared to those of the control group. 2. The experimental group showed a lower depression score (U=84.50, p=.01) than the results of the control group. 3. However, there were no changes in anxiety level compared to the control group. Conclusion: The physical activity reinforcement program was found to have an effect on exercise compliance and the depression score of CAPD patients. The results provided evidence for the importance of physical activity and verbal persuasion in CAPD patients.

This study was conducted to determine the effect of an exercise program applied to prevent musculoskeletal changes that occur due to aging on pain, muscle strength, balance ability, and falling efficacy in elderly women. An exercise program including quadriceps setting exercise, bridge exercise, resistance band exercise, and foam roller exercise was applied to elderly women aged 65 years or older once a week for 8 weeks. A visual analog scale was used to evaluate pain, muscle strength was evaluated using a digital muscle strength meter, balance ability was measured using the Berg balance scale, and fear of falling was evaluated using the fall efficacy scale. As a result of the study, compared to before the experiment, pain in the lower back and knee area was significantly reduced, the strength of the quadriceps femoris and gluteus maximus was significantly increased, and balance ability and falling efficacy were significantly improved. In conclusion, application of a program that includes various exercise methods has a positive effect on the physical activity of elderly women by strengthening the musculoskeletal system. Additionally, in order to prevent physical changes due to aging, an exercise program that includes various exercise methods that can strengthen the musculoskeletal system should be applied.

The purpose of this study was to investigate basic factors of obesity, nutrient intakes, behaviors of dietary life, daily energy expenditure and emphasize on the necessity of school education. Because the growing prevalence of obesity have required a need for health education in school. The results were as follows. 1. The average height of boys and girls was l59${\pm}$13cm(boys), l54${\pm}$11cm(girls). The average weight of them was 68${\pm}$16kg(boys), 70${\pm}$13kg(girls). BMI(body mass index) of them was 26.9${\pm}$3.4(boys), 29.5${\pm}$2.9(girls). 2. For energy and protein, the average intakes of subjects were higher than recommended dietary allowances for Koreans(7th Ed). The average intakes of vitamin A and ascorbic acid were much lower than the recommended dietary allowances. 3. Most of subjects prefer fast food, rich snacks and overeating, irregular meal amount and these dietary behaviors were severe problems. 4. Total energy expenditure was 1,933kcal in boys and 1,789kcal in girls. To reduce weight and treat obesity, the required energy intake to subjects was 1,546kcal(boys) and 1,431kcal(girls). If we prepared the effective program for obesity, school education should be integrated within the larger community. Parents of students and students may be educated to make good health changes in the home. Nutrition education has a direct impact on their life style of their food intake and nutritional status. The use of multi-component obesity treatments will be effective in a school setting. It is more effective to encourage health habits in school, house and it should be integrated within the larger community.

This study examined the relationship between social support, social participation and physical functioning among older adults in community senior centers. The subjects of this study were 194 persons aged 60 years or older who participated in the senior center in K province and D city, from June 16 to June 30, 2016. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, T-test, one way ANOVA, Pearson correlation analysis, multiple regression analysis, and structural model analysis using IBM SPSS Statistics 23.0 and IBM AMOS 21.0. The result showed that the social support and physical functioning of the elderly in the community were above normal, and social participation was somewhat low. Interestingly, an analysis of the physical functioning between social support, social participation and depression revealed significant correlations. The factors affecting the physical health were 23.4% of the respondents who had a significant influence on social support and leisure activities. In addition, the result of structural model analysis showed that social support had a significant influence on the social participation, depression and physical functioning. Therefore, the results suggests that the development of educational programs and an age-friendly environment should be actively provided to older adults in the community by strengthening the physical function through social support for active ageing.

목적 : 본 연구는 척수손상환자들 중 신체활동 정도가 급격하게 차이 나는 운동 선수군과 비선수군의 일상생활동작과 골밀도를 비교 분석하는데 그 목적이 있다. 방법 : 본 연구를 위해 20명(선수 10명, 비선수 10명)의 SCI 환자가 실험에 참가하였다. 골밀도 측정을 위해 이중에너지 방사선골밀도 측정기(Lunar Prodigy, GE Healthcare. England)를 이용하여 종골부위(calcaneus)의 골밀도를 측정하였다. 척수손상환자의 일상 생활 기능을 측정하기 위해 자조관리(self care), 호흡과 괄약근 조절 (respiration and sphincter management task), 이동(transfer)의 세 영역으로 나누어진 SCIM II(Spinal Cord Injury Measurement II)을 이용하였다. 척수손상환자들 중 운동 선수군과 비운동 선수군의 일상생활 동작과 골밀도를 비교 하기 위해 SPSS 14.0 통계 프로그램의 independent t-test를 이용하여 통계분석을 실시하였고 일상생활 동작과 골밀도의 상관관계는 Pearson correlation을 실시하였다. 유의수준은 ${\alpha}$=.05로 통계처리 하였다. 결과 : 검사 결과 선수군이 비선수군보다 통계적으로 유의하게 큰 SCIM 점수와 T-score를 보여주었다. 결론 : 일상생활동작을 측정하기 위하여 SCIM II(SpinalCordIndependenceMeasureII) 척도를 사용하였는데 선수군이 비선수군에 비해 유의하게 높은 SCIM II 총점을 나타내어 운동을 통한 훈련이 척수손상환자의 기능적 활동을 향상시킬 수 있다고 사료된다. 그리고 골밀도 측정 결과 선수군이 비선수군에 비해 통계적으로 유의하게 높은 골밀도를 나타내었다. 이 역시 강도 높은 훈련이 척수손상환자에게 나타날 수 있는 신체구성을 강화시켜줄 수 있을 것으로 사료된다. 운동을 통한 재활 중에서 그 강도가 높을수록 신체의 구성적, 기능적 측면 뿐 아니라 신경의 가소성 측면에서도 증가를 기대해 볼 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
