  • '천(天)'은 불교 세계관 속의 선인으로서 불교 전통 예술에서 많이 표현된 불교 세계관 중에 하나이다. 최근 '천'의 개념이 애니메이션 작품에 표현되면서, 불교 세계관에 대한 관심이 많아지고 있다. 불교 문화와 세계관의 이해를 통해 다양한 예술작품에 활용된다면, 애니메이션의 발전에 대해 훌륭한 소재가 될 수 있을 것이다. 이를 위해 형태 특징, 색채 특징 이 두 가지 시각적 특징으로 불교 세계관의 '천'을 분석하고 애니메이션 캐릭터 창작의 연관성을 분석하였다. 본 논문을 통해 불교의 세계관과 불교 문화가 더욱 발전할 수 있는 계기가 되기를 희망한다.

In particular, the EQ_5D was significantly higher in the group who reported walking practice, moderate physical activity (male), and the group who reported no vigorous physical activity (female). The EQ_VAS was significantly higher in the group who reported walking practice. Both EQ_5D and EQ_VAS were significantly lower in the group with stress, melancholy, suicidal thinking, and osteoarthritis. EQ_5D was significantly lower in the group with < 75% Estimated Energy Requirements (EER) in energy intake, and with < Estimated Average Requirements (EAR) in iron or niacin intake. A stepwise regression analysis revealed that i) higher educational level (male), and good self-rated health status significantly increased the EQ_5D, ii) age, alcohol intake (male), melancholy (female), suicidal thinking, osteoarthritis, and niacin intake deficiency (male) significantly decreased the EQ_5D, iii) higher income level (male) and good self-rated health status significantly increased the EQ_VAS, and iv) age (male), stress, suicidal thinking (female) and osteoarthritis significantly decreased the EQ_VAS. Conclusions: This study suggested that general characteristics, mental health, osteoarthritis, and niacin intake were associated with the HRQoL. Prospective research of long-term control is needed to establish the causal relationship between factors and the HRQoL.
