The purpose of this study is to see if we can predict the health of seniors of community by analyzing the connection between social network degree and mental and physical health of old people who live in the areas of Gangwha Island. The subjects of the study were men and women aged 65 or over, a total of 643 that resided in Ganghwa A-county. The survey was conducted on Korean Social Life, Health and Aging Project from the year 2011 to 2012. Regression analysis was carried out using the data. The analysis results were as follows. First, it showed the relationships between income, gender, age out of demographic variables used as control variable and old persons'physical health. The research results showed that physical health was better in case of the higher incomes, men, and lower age. Second, out of demographic variables, educational background, income, age was shown to correlate with mental health. The research results showed that mental health was better in case of the higher incomes, higher educational background, and lower age. Third, in social network including direction, both out-degree and in-degree were shown to predict old people's physical and mental health. The results of this study suggest that not only out-degree but also in-degree should be considered in predicting the health of elderly persons by a person's human relationship. Also, two indicators of degree are meaningful in the dimension of health promotion and welfare of the old in that they can be used for finding isolated individuals that can be physically and mentally vulnerable.

Even though clinical use DRE, PSA and TRUS for screening while diagnosing prostate cancer early, however, we cannot achieve to diagnose it accurately by one method. Thus, mutual supplements are strongly required in diagnosis. It means that we should identify relationship between prostate volume and serum PSA under different ages for better diagnosis. The subjects(405 men) visited the department of diagnostic radiology in a general university hospital from January 2008 to December 2008, who was going to take the prostatic evaluation by TRUS. 13 men, who did definite diagnosis of prostate cancer before through biopsy, were excluded in this study. All data were expressed as mean and standard deviations by using SPSS 14.0 package programs and were analyzed by using one-way ANOVA to evaluate the effect of different ages. And Scheffe Post hoc comparison is accomplished in order to make significant difference in prostate volume, PSA and PSAD according to ages. Pearson correlation was used for ages, prostate volume, PSA and PSAD. According to examination, the subjects' prostate volume and serum PSA level increase as person's age. We can see significant difference between group over 70 years and group from 40 and 50 years. Moreover, age, prostate volume and serum PSA have significant positive correlation. Even though we can get variations in serum PSA level by changing prostate volume according to ages, it is worthwhile to mention that more strong association for prostate volume is observed than ages in elevation of serum PSA. Therefore, it is strongly recommended to consider prostate volume weightly when it comes to evaluate for men with elevated PSA level. Finally, TRUS is an excellent extra equipment to diagnose prostate cancer because it can contribute to early diagnose and pertinent treatment of prostate cancer.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between the characteristics of using new words, ability to use new words, and peer popularity among students with mild intellectual disabilities and general students of the age-matched group. A total of 8 students, 4 students with mild intellectual disabilities aged 14 to 16 years of age and 4 normal students in the age-matched group, were compared between groups using a nonparametric test. In the case of new words, 60 new words were selected through expert content validity among 301 new words, and then recognition and background information on the 60 new words were collected. As a result of the study, first, there was a significant difference in understanding of new words between the student group with mild intellectual disability and the general student group of the same age. Second, the correlation between the use of new words and the popularity of peers was compared for each group of students with mild intellectual disabilities and a group of general students of the same age as possible. Therefore, when providing vocabulary instruction for students with mild intellectual disabilities, it suggests that it is necessary to teach new vocabulary in order to increase their relationship with their peers and their popularity.

The aim of this study was to examine the association between daily stress and smartphone overdependence among multicultural adolescents, focusing on the moderating roles of gender and age. This study performed a series of multiple linear regressions with a sample of 794 multicultural adolescents living with a foreign-born parent or parents from the 13th Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-Based Survey. The main regression analysis showed that daily stress was associated with higher levels of smartphone overdependence among multicultural adolescents. In addition, interaction analyses showed that the association between daily stress and smartphone overdependence was more pronounced for male adolescents compared to female adolescents, and for middle school students compared to high school students. This study concluded with some suggestions to address smartphone overdependence among multicultural adolescents.

This study investigated the purchase status, wearing status, purchase satisfaction, selection criteria, and improvement marin leports wear for subjects who enjoy marine leisure sports in the southwestern region of Jeollanam-do, and examines the correlation between age and body type and the correlation between variables. SPSS Ver. 26.0 program was used for analysis. In the correlation between the motivation for participation and the selection criteria, when participating to increase physical strength, it was selected based on the fit. When participating for leisure or hobbies, they were selected based on design and color. The relationship between the selection criteria and purchase satisfaction was not satisfied in terms of price when they were selected based on activity or utilization of other uses. As for the selection criteria according to the body type, clothing was selected based on price and fashion for large triangles and squares, and elasticity for inverted triangles. As for the preferred color by age, only those in their 40s preferred blue and other age groups preferred achromatic color. In future studies, it is thought that a study on the preference of each marine leisure sports item should be conducted.

본 연구에서는 20대 여성의 미용성형 경험과 미용성형수술 수용성(ACS)의 관계와 영향요인을 조사하였다. 무작위 표집한 20대 여성 330명을 대상으로 2017년 11월에 자료 수집을 하였다. 수집된 자료는 서술적 통계, t-test, crosstabs, chi-square test, ANOVA, correlation, binary logistic regression으로 분석하였다. 연구결과, 97.9%는 미용성형의 부작용에 대해 들어본 경험이 있었고, 정보원으로는 인터넷이 57.3%로 가장 많았다. 124명(37.6%)은 최소 1회 이상의 미용성형 경험이 있었고, 최초 성형을 한 연령은 21.81(${\pm}2.83$)세였다. ACS는 외모만족도와 음의 상관관계(r=-0.18, p=.001)가 있었다. 미용성형 경험 여부에 영향을 미치는 요인은 연령, ACS와 BMI였고, 변수들의 설명력은 28.9%였다. 연령이 1살이 높아질수록 미용성형 경험이 있을 확률이 1.17배 높아지고(OR=1.17, p=.002), ACS가 1점이 높아질수록 미용성형 경험이 있을 확률이 1.06배 높았으며(OR=1.06, p<.001), BMI 점수가 1점이 높아질수록 미용성형의 경험이 있을 확률이 0.84배 낮아졌다(OR=0.84, p<.001). 대상자의 심신건강을 위한 관련 정책을 위하여 점차 증가하는 20대 여성의 미용성형수술과 관련한 다양한 영향요인을 조사 등 후속연구를 제언한다.

우리나라의 이혼율이 최근급격한 증가추세를 보이고 있음에도 불구하고 우리나라의 이혼에 대한 연구는 매우 적은 실정이며 특히 여러변수와 이혼과의 관계를 살펴본 연구는 찾아보기 어렵다. 이에 본 연구에서는 사회적 행동에 영향을 많이 미치는 것으로 알려져 있 는 사회경제적 지위와 이혼율과의 관계를 살펴보았다. 통계청에서 집계힌 자료중에 이혼과 수입과의 관곌계를 알수 있는 자료가 없었으므로 본 연구에선 교육 직업과 이혼과의 관계만을 살펴보았다. 교육수준별 직업별로 이혼상태에 있는 사람들의 비율을 비교한 결과는 다음과 같다. 교육수준별 이혼상태율을 보면 (1980, 1990년의 자료를 분석) 남자의 경우 교육수준이 높을수록 이혼상태의 비율이 낮아진다. 여자의 경우 교육수준이 높아지면서 점점 이혼상태의 비율이 높아지다가 다시낮아지는 고선형의 관계를 보인다. 남녀모두 모든 교육수준에서 중퇴자들이 졸업자들보다 높은 이혼비율을 보이고 있다. 연령으로 통제한 후에도 이러한 경향에는 별변함이 없다 직업별 이혼상태율을 비교하면(1970, 1980, 1990년의 자료를 분석) 남성들의 경우 직업군의 지위가 높을수록 이혼상태율이 낮아진다. 여성들의 경우 직업적지위가 높은 경우와 낮은 경우가 불규칙하게 이혼비율이 분포되어 있어 일반적 경향을 찾기가 어려우나 가장낮은 이혼율을 보인 직업과 가장높은 이혼율을 보인 직업은 세시기에 일관성 있게 나타났다. 농/축/임업/수산업/수렵업에 종사하는 경우 이혼비율이 가장낮게 나타났고 서비스직에 종사하는 경우 다른 직업군에 비해 현저하게 이혼비율이 높게 나타났고 연령으로 통제한 후에도 같은 경향을 보인다.
