The relationship between socio-economic status and food and nutrient consumption patterns was studied in 7,370 Koreans aged 20 years and older in the 1995 Korean Health and Nutrition Survey. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of rapid economic growth on food and nutrient consumption for Korean adults in the last 30 years. Monthly household income, and individual's educational level and occupation were chosen as variables of socio-economic status for individuals. A one day 24 hour recall method was used for the dietary survey. One way analysis of varience was adopted to test tole association between socio-economic variables and food and nutrient consumption patterns. Individuals who had a high socio-economic status had significantly higher daily intake of most of the nutrients including calcium, vitamin A, vitamin B$_2$which reached above the recommended dietary allowances(RDA) and a higher percentage energy consumption from fat. In addition, individual who belonged to a low socio-economic status consumed less animal foods, including meat, egg, milk and consumed low proportion of energy from fat. The results suggest that in spite of rapid economic growth during the last 30 years in Korea, individuals who belonged to low sorio-economic status categories are still nutritionally vulnerable. Among the sorio-economic variables, income and education except occupation were the influential factors on the food and nutrient consumption of Koreans. Therefore, nutrition policy should focus on influencing the dietary patterns of lower social class individuals to improve the health status of the population as a whole.

Among the 2019 data of the Korea Health Panel, data from 498 adults over the age of 40 who were diagnosed with cancer by doctors were analyzed. As a result of the study, the mean QOL of middle-aged cancer patients was 0.90 (±0.09) and that of elderly cancer patients was 0.86 (±0.12). The QOL of middle-aged cancer patients was significantly higher than that of elderly cancer patients. Factors influencing the QOL of middle-aged cancer patients were subjective health status, anxiety, suicidal ideation, and bedridden status. Factors influencing the QOL of elderly cancer patients were subjective health status, bedridden status, economic activity, education level, regular physical activity, stress, and age. In order to improve the QOL of middle-aged and elderly cancer patients, along with interest in the QOL of middle-aged and elderly cancer patients, it is necessary to develop an age-specific intervention program, such as reducing anxiety and suicidal ideation for middle-aged cancer patients, and improving regular physical activity and reducing stress for elderly cancer patients.

본 연구에서는 중노년층의 본인의 노화에 대한 태도에 관한 종단적 변화와 이에 영향을 미치는 요인을 알아보기 위해 "고령화와 한국노인의 삶의 질에 관한 연구"의 3개년도 자료를 잠재성장모델로 분석하였다. 분석결과, 중노년층의 본인의 노화에 대한 태도는 시간이 지남에 따라 부정적으로 변화하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 고연령집단일수록, 무배우일수록, 농촌지역 거주자일수록, 교육수준이 낮을수록, 사회활동의 수가 적을수록, 주관적 경제상태에 여유가 없을수록, 주관적 건강상태가 나쁠수록 중노년층의 본인의 노화에 대한 초기 태도는 부정적인 것으로 나타났다. 중노년층의 본인의 노화에 대한 태도의 종단적 변화는 거주지역, 교육수학기간, 주관적 경제상태, 주관적 건강상태에 따라 다른 것으로 나타났다. 연구결과를 토대로 중노년층이 본인의 노화에 대한 부정적인 태도를 줄이기 위해 필요한 정책적, 실천적 시사점에 대해 논의하였다.
