본 연구는 부산지역의 도농복합지역인 기장군 노인을 대상으로 노인의 고독감에 영향을 미치는 요인을 분석한 것이다. 이를 위해 개인적 요인, 건강 요인, 그리고 사회적 요인으로 독립변수를 구분하여 노인 고독감의 영향요인을 살펴보았다. 조사대상은 부산광역시 기장군에 거주하는 65세 이상 노인 138명이며, 사전에 교육된 조사원을 통해 면접조사를 실시하였다. 본 연구의 주요결과는 다음과 같다. 먼저 노인 고독감은 평균 50.6(SD 4.2))로 중간 정도 수준으로 나타났다. 다음으로 도농복합지역 노인의 고독감에 영향을 미치는 요인으로는 개인적 요인 중 생활만족도, 건강요인 중 일상생활수행 정도, 그리고 사회적 요인 중 사회적 지지(정서적 지지와 도구적 지지)와 사회활동참여로 나타났다. 생활만족도와 일상생활수행정도가 낮을수록 고독감이 높은 것으로 나타났으며 정서 및 도구적 지지와 사회활동참여정도가 적을수록 고독감이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 현재의 노인 서비스를 정서적이고 대인관계적 관점으로 초점이 확대되어야 한다. 그리고 도농복합지역 노인의 고독감을 완화시키기 위한 기존의 사회복지서비스가 수정 및 보완되어야 할 필요가 있으며 노인의 고독감을 감소하기 위해 사회적 지지와 사회활동정도 등과 같은 사회적 요인을 강화하는 방안을 마련해야 한다.

본 연구는 도시와 농촌노인의 인지에 영향을 주는 요인을 규명함으로써 노인들의 노화에 따른 삶에 만족하도록 도움을 제공하기 위한 정신건강프로그램을 계획하는데 도움이 될 기초적인 자료를 제공하고자 시도되었다. 대상은 대전광역시와 금산군 노인 160명이었다. 자료수집은 2011년 3월 2일부터 7월 30일까지 구조화된 설문지를 이용하여 이루어졌으며, 수집된 자료는 SPSS 18.0 프로그램의 기술통계, t-test, ANOVA, 상관관계분석, 계층적 회귀분석을 이용하여 분석하였다. 본 연구 결과 두 그룹간 인지는 유의한 차이가 나타났다(t=-2.232, p=.029). 두 그룹 모두 인지와 우울은 유의한 상관관계가 나타나지 않았다(도시노인(r=.021, p=.860), 시골노인(r=.-131, p=.271)). 도시노인의 인지에 영향을 준 변수는 교육(t=4.069, p<.001)과 나이(t=-2.812, p=.001)였고, 농촌노인의 인지에 영향을 준 변수는 성(t=-3.011, p<.001), 연령(t=-4.866, p<.001), 교육(t=3.525, p<.001)이었다. 이들은 각각 26.1%와 57.2%를 설명하였다. 따라서 환경의 차이에 따라 적합한 인지 및 우울 중재가 마련되어야 할 것이다.

본 연구에서는 경상남도 창원시를 대상으로 노인인구 분포지역의 공간적 특성과 폭염과의 관계를 분석하였다. 이를 위해 통계청의 인구센서스 자료와 환경부 토지피복도, Landsat 8 지표면온도, 기상청의 폭염일수 자료를 활용하였다. 노인인구 분포의 공간적 특성은 토지이용특성을 고려하여 K-mean 군집화 분석을 통해 총 5개 유형으로 분류하였다. 공간유형별 노인인구 특성은 도시화된 유형(cluster-3)에서 노인인구의 수가 많았으나, 농촌지역과 산림지역에 분포하는 유형(cluster-1, cluster-2)에서는 노인인구의 구성 비율이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 지표면온도와 폭염일수 특성에서는 도시지역에서 지표면온도가 가장 높았으나 폭염일수는 농촌지역이 가장 많았다. 노인인구 분포지역의 공간유형에 따른 폭염 특성을 분석한 결과, 농촌지역 면적이 많은 cluster-2가 15.95일로 가장 높았고, 도시화된 유형인 cluster-3은 9.41일로 가장 낮았다. 즉, 도시지역에 거주하는 노인인구보다 농촌지역에 거주하는 노인인구가 폭염에 더욱 노출되어 있으며, 피해가 가중될 것으로 예상된다. 본 연구의 결과는 여름철 폭염 취약지역의 효과적인 관리와 사전 예방을 위한 다양한 정책방안을 마련하는데 기초적인 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

Three hundred sixty-two(male 131, female 231) elderly aged over 65 in Chungb- uk area were interviewed to determine the disease states and drug usage patterns. The prebalence of disease was 78% and women reported more chronic diseases(83%) than men(71%). Elderly who live with spouse and have an occupation have a lower rate of disease. Average number of diseases of the elderly was $1.8\pm{1.1}$, and women$(2.1\pm{1.3)}$ have significantly higher average number of diseases than that of men$(1.4\pm{0.7)}$. Also the elderly in urban areas$(2.1\pm{1.4)}$ have significantly higher number of diseases than that of the elderly in rural areas$(1.6\pm{0.9)}$. Arthritis, hypertension, cardiovascular and gastric diseases were the most frequently listed chronic diseases in order for both men and women. Anemia and fracture of bone were relatively higher in women than in men. Particularly, the arthritis of the urban elderly have a rate of 1.5 times higher than that of the rural elderly. Fifty-two percent of the elderly were currently using drugs ; among drug users 71.2% used prescription drugs and 20.5% used nonprescription drugs. The average number taken per person was 2.1$\pm$1.4 and there was no sex or age difference. However, the elderly in rural areas $(2.7\pm{1.7)}$ consumed a significantly higher number of drugs than those in urban areas$(1.7\pm{0.7)}$. The average number of prescripti- on drugs taken was 2.0$\pm$1.4 while the average of nonprescription drugs taken was $(1.3\pm{0.6)}$. Analgesics and antihypertensive drugs were most commonly used. Vitamin and analgesics were the most frequently used self-prescribed drugs. It was noted that potential adverse drug interaction by concominant drug consumption for arthritis and antihypensive drug, abuse of digestants and antiacid without treatment of the underlying disease, and misuse of quick-acting bowel medications were problematic for the elderly. In addition drugs used for the elderly have some adverse effect on the digestive system. The types and composition of drugs used by the elderly were identified and presented. Medication compliance was poor and 13.5% reported adverse reactions such as edema, heartburn, nausea, and difficulty with eating. Seventeen percent of the elderly obtained drugs arranged by those other than medical staff. Also, even among those elderly who obtained drugs prescribed by a doctor, 69.1% of subjects had not receive instruction about potential adverse reactions. These results suggest that nutritional problems related to drug usage might exist and so dietitians, either individually or as members of health teams, need to have a better understanding of drug-nutrient interaction and closer supervision, and drug information/education service should therefore be provided to prevent or minimize adverse drug reaction in elderly users of medication.

A study about health status of the elderly in rural area was performed with 110 home-bound elderly. The results obtained by questionaires and personal interviews recall were as follows. 1) Subjects were 68.6 years of age on average. They revealed the physical tendency of not overweight but high blood pressure. 2) We found that seniors who live alone in rural area were more than in urban area. 3) Average daily intakes of energy and protein of rural elderly were lower than the Korean RDA and the intakes of Ca, riboflavin and niacin in female were also lower. 4) Nutrient intakes were related to family income, food expense, smoking amount, drinking frequency and duration of exercrse, which suggested the needs of nutrition education for the seniors and meal services especially for the low-income elderly.

Cities of China have been expanding rapidly during the last 10 years and the living environment of urban population developed highly making little difference with the developed nations. However, in the case of rural area, situation is totally different from the urban area. There are some cases where the quality of life in rural areas is retreating compared to the past. Agrarian cultures of the past are remained in the rural area with only older generations and no younger generations. The difference between the rural and the urban and the movement to the cities are increasing in a rapid speed. This led to the recognition of potential danger that lies on the agricultural societies which can demolish the economic development's sustainability. Therefore, in this study, basic information about the current Chinese elderly's house circumstances and to build new houses suited for the older generations will be provided. This can not only enhance the quality of the elder citizen's life, but also can be a meaningful research for the ideal construction of future Chinese agriculture.

This study was carried out survey to compare using status of physical therapy for elderly persons between urban and rural area in Honam. There were 16 places consisting of general clinics, departments of family medicine, pain medicine, and orthopedics that run outpatient physical therapy. This study distributed 636 questionnaires in total and collected 400 responses. Regionally, 200 responses out of 311 questionnaires from Gwangju and 200 responses out of 325 questionnaires from Jeollanam-do and Jeollabuk-do were collected. Regionally speaking, Gwangju was 62% while Jeollanam-do and Jeollabuk-do regions were 88%, indicating patients in rural areas employed more public transportation, which was statistically significantly different. There was a difference between urban and rural areas with regard to questions regarding improvement with physical therapy. Factors related to the number of physical therapy visits per week that showed a significant difference between urban and rural areas found by the linear regression analysis result were working hours, whether the patient exercised or not, and pain stress. This result suggest that it is necessary to reduce working hours and pain stress experienced by rural elderlies as well as to encourage regular exercise via national polices.
