This study examined the time use of married female home-based workers in comparison with married female on-site workers. The data were collected from 165 home-based workers and 292 on-site workers in Busan and Kyungnam province, by a self-administered questionnaire. Frequency distributions, Pearson's correlations, and multiple regression analyses were conducted by SPSS/PC/sup +/. The major findings are summarized as follows: (1) both groups spent more time in physiological activities, household work, and leisure on weekends than on weekdays, while they spent more time in work on weekdays than on weekends; and (2) generally, the age of the youngest child and the home presence of an aged or handicapped relative had effects on the time use of home-based workers. These results imply that home-based workers need to develop some strategies for time management to harmonize their home-based work with household work.

본 연구는 안전하면서 효율적으로 비만을 개선시키는데 도움이 될 수 있는 식품소재로 목이버섯을 선정하여 복부 비만이 있는 중년 여성의 골밀도 및 혈청지질농도에 미치는 영향에 대하여 알아보고자 하였다. 30~50대의 복부비만 여성 30명에게 4주 동안 대조군은 목이버섯을 섭취시키지 않았고, 실험군은 목이버섯을 식사와 함께 섭취하도록 하였다. 실험 전 후 골밀도(T-score, Z-score), 총 콜레스테롤, HDL-콜레스테롤, LDL-콜레스테롤, 중성지방을 측정하였다. 연구결과, 목이버섯 섭취군과 대조군 간에 T-score와 Z-score는 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았지만, 목이버섯 섭취군의 혈청 총 콜레스테롤, LDL-콜레스테롤 및 중성지방 수준이 대조군에 비해 유의하게 감소되었다.

본 연구는 미국 CBS 뉴스에서 수십한 자료를 사용하여 라이프스타일이 남녀 의복행동에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 의복과 관련된 4가지 라이프스타일이 (레크레이션, 경제적, 편의적, 외모에 신경을 쓰는) 자료에 입각하여 고안되었다. 인구통계학적 변인과 라이프스타일과의 관계분석에 따르면, 여성이 남성보다 레크레이션, 편의적, 외모에 신경을 쓰는 라이프스타일을 갖는 경향이 높았다. 또한, 젊은층은 레크레이션, 경제적, 외모에 신경을 쓰는 라이프스타일을, 반면 저소득층은 경제적 라이프스타일을 갖는 경향이 있었다. 유행 인지도와 의복비 지출의 남녀 차이 분석층과, 유행인지도에서 여성이 남성보다 높았으나, 의복비 지출에 있어서는 남녀 차이가 없었다. 레크레이션 라이프스타일을 가진 남녀 모두 유행을 더 많이 인지하고 있었으며, 경제적 라이프스타일을 가진 여성이 의복비 지출이 높은 것으로 나타났다.
