The purpose of this study is to examine which factors determine fall experience among Korean elderly. To achieve this purpose, it uses the Korean Longitudinal Study of Aging(KLoSA), wave 1 and 2. Participants aged 65 from wave 1 were selected. From wave 2, a dependent variable was selected and it was fall experiences since the first interview in 2006. Other than this variable, all independent variables were selected from wave 1. In analyses, x2 or t-test were conducted to examine whether independent variables significantly differ between falls and no falls. Then, since a dependent variable consisted of two categories-falls or no falls, multiple logistic regressions were run. Female, using hearing aid, having two diseases, having three or more diseases, depression, and exercise 5 times/a week or more elevated the odds ratios of fall experience. compared to their reference categories. Particularly, if Korean elderly had three or more diseases or depression, their likelihood of fall experience would have about 2 times higher than their reference categories. In conclusion, health practitioners should make the elderly be recognized how much these risk factors are important to falls. Also, Korean government should support Korean elderly having these risk factors to prevent them from falling.

비만은 신체에 지방조직이 과다하게 축척된 상태로 정의한다. 세계보건기구에서는 비만을 인류의 심각한 보건문제로 규정하고 이를 치료가 필요한 만성질병으로 분류하였다. 우리나라의 경우에서도 비만 인구가 점점 증가하고 있으며, 비만이 발생하는 연령이 낮아져 학동기 아동의 비만이 현저히 증가되고 있는 추세여서 중요한 보건문제로 부각되고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 강남지역에 거주하는 초등학교 4,5,6학년 아동 303명을 대상으로 비만도에 따라 비만군(PIBW $\geq$ 120, N = 61), 정상군(90 $\leq$ PIBW＜110, N = 146), 저체중군(PIBW ＜ 90, N = 96)으로 분류하여 신체계측뿐 아니라 영양소섭취량, 패스트푸드섭취빈도, 생활습관등을 조사하여 비만과 관련된 요인을 분석하였다.(중략)
