The current study aims to help field managers of companies providing foodservice for institutions to establish the more appropriate cost management strategy by analyzing the cost structure of foodservice center in institutions by operating types and the number of people served. From the result analyzing 161 foodservice centers, the number of factories was highest with 39.8% while offices 26.7%, schools 20.5%, and hospitals 13%. In terms of the number of people served, below 500 persons was 27.6%, 501${\sim}$l,000 persons was 23.9%, 1,001${\sim}$2,000 persons was 22.7%, and over 2,001 persons was 25%. In the demographic characteristics of managers, women occupied over 92%. The reason for this is usually dieticians perform management duties. For the age of workers, 70.8% were older than 40s, which ran become the cause of a rise in cost by causing the decrease of productivity by aging. Therefore, appropriate countermeasures are required. In case of workers in production, women occupy 962 persons (82.2%) rating absolute majority like mangers. This is because cooks are in charge of almost every producing activity of meal facilities. In addition, more than 72.9% of workers in production were over 40 years old, which requires diversified studies to promote efficiency of production associated with the aging problem. In proportion of sales compared with cost material cost presented the highest percentage with 54.5% while labor cost 28.3%, general expenses 9.6% and business profit 7.6%.

Due to increasing life expectancy, Americans live nearly 20 years after retirement. During this period, elderly persons have to stretch finances to manage the level of living without earnings. However, decision making ability decreases with age. One coping strategy for this problem would be seeking help from others. We examine factors affecting elderly persons' assistance use with respect to financial management using the 2000 Health and Retirement Study (N=3,823). It was found that age, education, health status, and ethnicity significantly affect elderly persons' financial management assistance use. The older-olds, those with lower educational attainment and poorer health status were more likely to use financial management assistance. However, Hispanic elderly were less likely to use financial management assistance.

Rapid progress in modern medical technology has made it possible to sustain life and/or delay death using 'heroic' treatments. The availability of life-sustaining treatment brings several issues in end-of-life care such as 'dying with dignity' and an radical increase in health care costs. The use of Advance Directives(AD) have been widely heralded by health care providers, gerontologists, and advocacy groups as means of protecting patients' right to accept or refuse life-sustaining treatment in end-of-life care. The use of AD can not only improve patients' autonomy and quality of life but also bring efficiency in distributing health care resources. The proportion of older persons in Korean population has been increasing. Those 65 years of age or over were about 7 percent of the population. Death and dying is not limited to older persons, but it is more prevalent among them. In conjunction with an aging population and the increasing prevalence of death, the issues of death and dying will become crucial in near future in terms of 'dying with dignity', 'autonomy', and 'self-control'. This paper attempts to explode and establish the concept of advance directives (AD) based on literature review. Data sources are computer searches with the MEDLINE database. Due to the lack of prior study on AD for a Korean cases, studies abroad are reviewed. This paper suggests the need for future study on the possibility of the use of AD in Korea.

Objectives: This study was conducted to determine factors related to glycemic control among Korean patients with diabetes. Methods: Data was collected from the Fourth (2007-2009) Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) which was a nationwide, cross-sectional survey. The study participants who are available for hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) were 1,441 patients with diabetes aged 30 years and older. Poor glycemic control was defined as $HbA1c{\geq}7.0%$. Data were analysed using logistic regression. Results: The proportion of patients with the poor glycemic control ($HbA1c{\geq}7.0%$) was 49.5%. After adjusting for confounding factors, younger aged persons (30-49 years) were less likely to control the blood glucose than older aged persons (60-69 years) (Adjusted OR=0.533, 95% CI [0.295-0.960]) and longer duration of diabetes was positively related to poor glycemic control (Adjusted OR=2.018, 95% CI [1.418-2.873]). Conclusions: Age and duration of diabetes were significantly related to blood glucose control. Therefore, considering these factors is helpful for developing a strategy to improve blood glucose control in diabetes.

Purpose: This study was done to apply Andersen's behavioral model to identify factors that determine oral health-related quality of life in elderly persons. Methods: Participants were 257 people ages 65 years or older. Data were analyzed using frequency, percentage, mean and hierarchical multiple regression. Results: The variables in the behavioral model, predisposing factors, enabling factors and need factors, explained 31% (F=12.7, p<.001) of variance in oral health-related quality of life. The predisposing factors, enabling factors, need factors and health behavior collectively explained 35% (F=9.22, p<.001) of variance in oral health-related quality of life. Factors influencing oral health-related quality of life in older adults were ADL and IADL, self-reported oral health status, xerostomia and dental care in last 12 months. Conclusions: The analysis results showed that the need factor had the highest level of relative importance of the three factors. The model used for this study can be used to predict oral health-related quality of life.

Recently, attention for health promotion is rising. Alcohol is widely consumed among adults. About 1/3 of people 15 years of older enjoy drinking alcohol. Some 80% of them drink a half or more bottle of soju each time. Regular excessive drinking of alcohol may cause various problems. WHO(1990) reported that social problems such as divorce, unemployment, and financial difficulties ; psychological problems such as melancholy, suicide, and drug abuse ; physical problems such as cirrhosis, lung cancer, high blood pressure, stroke, and sterilization. The patients with liver disease are estimated to be 628,000. Approximately, 12,000 persons are dying by chronic liver disease and cirrhosis each year. Among the people of 15 years or older, persons dependent on alcohol are estimated to be 1,480,000. This study suggests policies to reduce the consumption of alcohol for planning for health promotion. Limitations of sites and times of sales and designation of sellers, designation of sites prohibiting drinking, limitation of alcohol sales promotion, and restrictions on advertisement can be inaugurated. Increase of price through the raise of tax and taxation of promotion cost. Education of high risk groups such as soldiers, pregnant women, and the youth can be introduced. Provision of alternative socialization programs instead of drinking. Some approaches on target groups were suggested.

Objectives: This study was performed to develop the indicators for national surveillance of chronic disease, which is a governmental concern to manage the chronic disease for older persons. It is necessary that chronic disease surveillance system needs to be made in Korea for effective management of chronic diseases. With the system, we know the prevalence and incidence of chronic diseases, observe the trend of utilization for caring the chronic diseases, and analyze the behavior change for prevention of chronic diseases. Methods: This study was carried out by analyzing the data by which the indicators was produced, by reviewing how the United States made the indicators. By benchmarking the United States, the sources of data of the national surveillance indicators for chronic diseases in Korea were compared. Results: In this study, the most significant indicators were identified and proposed to improve the surveillance indicators by changing the sources of data. These findings warrant further development of the health policy for the chronic disease prevention and establishment of the chronic disease surveillance system. Conclusions: The results of this study can be used to develop national surveillance indicators to manage the chronic diseases and can be used as basic data to develop community health programs.

Background: Supporting the elderly population is presented as a social issue, and it affects age discrimination, which forms a negative perception and avoids the elderly. Since age discrimination lowers the quality of life of the elderly and hinders social unity, it may be important to research related factors. This study examined the physical function as a factor that influences discrimination experiences and aimed to identify the relationship between physical function factors and discrimination experiences. Methods: In this study, we analyzed 20,225 elderly from the 2014 and 2017 survey of living conditions and welfare needs of Korean older persons, conducted nationwide among older than 65 years. Physical function factors are activities of daily living, instrumental activities of daily living, sight discomfort, hearing discomfort, chewing discomfort, and leg strength as factors of interest. We performed multivariable logistic regression that reflected survey characteristics, adjusting for socio-demographic factors, health related factors, and social-support factors. Results: The number of elderly who faced discrimination experiences was 1,175 (5.8%). The results showed that the odds ratio of facing a discrimination experience in the dependent group was significantly higher compared to the independent group when being transferring out of the room (4.05; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.50-10.88) and difficulty in hearing (1.25; 95% CI, 1.05-1.49). Even with respect to chewing ability, which was significant in models 1 and 2, they face more discrimination experiences (1.30; 95% CI, 1.11-1.53). Conclusion: These research results indicate that an important strategy for preventing age discrimination is to understand the physical function conditions of the elderly and promote the physical functions of the elderly related to transferring, hearing, and chewing; it is necessary to develop a practical intervention plan that considers these aspects.
