이 연구는 서울과 수도권에 근무 중인 40~50대의 중년직장인을 대상으로 중년직장인이 인지하는 퇴직에 대한 태도가 퇴직준비와 직무만족도에 유의미한 영향을 미치는지를 검증하는 연구이다. 서울과 수도권에 400부의 설문지를 배포한 것 중 회수된 362부를 연구에 사용하였다. 두 개의 가설을 세워 가설검증을 진행하였고, 그 결과 중년직장인의 퇴직태도 중 강요된 좌절은 퇴직준비의 재정과 가족에만 유의미한 부(-)적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났고, 새로운 출발은 퇴직준비의 모든 하위변인(재정, 가족, 건강, 여가와 봉사)에 유의미한 정(+)적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 두 번째 가설인 직무만족도의 영향에선 퇴직태도의 노년휴식과 새로운 출발이 직무만족도에 유의미한 정(+)적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이 결과로 퇴직을 강요된 좌절이라고 인지할수록 재정과 가족에 대한 퇴직준비가 낮았고, 퇴직을 새로운 출발로 인지할수록 퇴직준비의 모든 항목이 높게 나타났다. 또한 퇴직을 노년의 휴식과 새로운 출발이라고 인지할수록 직무만족도 역시 높게 나타났다. 이로써 퇴직을 앞둔 중년직장인들의 퇴직에 대한 태도가 퇴직준비와 직무만족도에 유의미한 영향을 미친다는 것을 알 수 있다.

The purpose of this study is to survey the patterns of intergenerational financial resource transfers among three generations, and to examine the effects of providers' financial resources on intergenerational financial resource transfers. The paper presents an analysis of data from KReIS on the financial transfers provided by the aged 40-69 years to their parents and children. The results show that around one-third of the respondents reported providing financial resource transfers to their parents, and that about half of the respondents provided financial transfers to their children. In terms of the other direction of financial transfers, a small percentage of the respondents received financial transfers from their parents otherwise more than half of the respondents reported having financial transfers from their children. Considering age differences among the respondents, we find that respondents in the age 60s are more likely to receive financial transfers from their children than those in the age 50s or 40s. Statistically significant determinants of providing financial transfers are different from who received transfers.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate on nutrient intake status and diet quality of middle and old aged vegetarian women in Korea, The research group was composed of vegetarian women (n=91), all of them were Seven Day Adventists, who had been on vegetarian diets, over 20 yrs. Their anthropometric measurements, dietary intakes, and diet quality indices were compared to omnivores (n=122). The average age of vegetarians and omnivores were 61.8 yrs and 60.3 yrs, respectively. The mean daily energy intakes of vegetarians and omnivores were 1428.8 kcal and 1424.5 kcal, respectively and there was no significant difference. The vegetarians consumed significantly lower intakes of protein (p < 0.05), zinc (p < 0.001) and vitamin $B_{2}$ (p < 0.05) compared to omnivores. In the diet quality, zinc and vitamin $B_{2}$ nutrient adequacy ratio (NAR) of vegetarians were significantly lower than those of omnivores. Mean adequacy ratio (MAR) of vegetarians and omnivores were 0.80 and 0.77, respectively and there was no significant difference. The KDDS (Korean's Dietary Diversity Score) of vegetarians and omnivores were 3.7 and 4.0, respectively, and there was significant difference (p < 0.01). The KDQI (Korean's Diet Quality Index) of vegetarians (1.5) was significantly lower than that (2.1) of omnivores (p < 0.001). In conclusion, vegetarian women have low intake status of protein, zinc and vitamin $B_{2}$, and partly low diet quality. Therefore it was needed that well planed diets to replace the nutrients supplied from excluded food groups in middle and old aged vegetarian women.

본 연구의 목적은 외환위기 직후 경기 침체기와 경기회복기에 따른 성·연령별 중·고령자 취업률의 변동, 그러한 변동의 원인이 무엇인지, 그리고 중·고령자의 취업에 미치는 결정요인들이 성과 연령별에 따라 차이가 나는지를 분석하는 것이다. 이를 위해 한국노동연구원의 1차부터 7차까지의 노동패널조사 자료를 사용하였다. 본 연구의 분석 결과는 경기침체기에 비해 경기회복기에 남녀 모두 모든 연령에서 취업률이 상승하였고 또 연령이 올라감에 따라 남녀 취업률 격차가 감소하는 것을 발견했다. 가정한 바와 같이, 중·고령자의 취업에 미치는 결정요인들은 성과 연령별에 따라 차이가 났다. 예를 들어, 배우자 존재는 남성 취업률에 정적 영향을 여성 취업률에 부적 영향을 미쳤다. 한편, 경제회복기의 취업률 증가에는 경제적 어려움으로 인한 취업자 수의 증가보다 경제적 독립성을 중시하는 개인주의 이데올로기로 인한 취업자 수의 증가가 더 큰 영향을 미쳤다. 외환위기 이후 양극화가 심화되는 상황에서, 경기회복기에 평균 근로소득의 급상승과 경기침체기보다 경기회복기에 개인의 취업이 더 어려워졌다는 사실은 2001년 이후 중·고령 노동자 취업의 양극화가 나타났다는 것을 의미한다. 즉, 빈민 혹은 하층의 중·고령 노동자들은 취업하기가 더 어려워진 반면, 중류층 이상(특히 고소득)의 노동자들은 이전보다 더 늦은 연령까지 취업을 하는 추세가 나타났다. 이러한 중·고령 노동자 취업의 양극화는 남성보다 여성에서 더 분명하게 나타났다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the dietary intakes in middle-aged women(pre and postmenopausal) and relation to climacteric symptoms. We conducted the anthropometric measurements, climacteric symptoms survey, and dietary intake to assess the nutrient intakes. Also, dietary quality indices were evaluated. The subjects, over 40 years old, were 168 middle aged women(pre=74, postmenopausal=94), mean age was $48.9{\pm}3.6yr$. The anthropometric measurements showed that 59% of subjects were overweight and obese. Climacteric symptoms that were answered 'yes' in 50% plus in the subjects, were dry eyes, forgetfulness, difficult concentration, large joint pain(shoulder), fatique, backache, dry skin, joint pain(ankle and knee), dry mouth, dizziness, depression and lonesomeness, snore, morning stiffness, and hot flash. Some symptoms showed significant difference between pre and postmenopausal groups. The average energy intake was 1602.1 Kcal, which was 82% of the Korean EER. The subjects had lower vitamin A, riboflavin, folic acid, Fe, Zn and Ca intake than Korean RI. The lowest nutrient intake was Ca. The mean of food intake was 1294.2 g and MAR of diet quality indices was 0.83. In relation to dietary factors with climacteric symptoms, significant correlations have been found between total protein, animal protein, lipid, cholesterol and niacin intake and 'fatique', energy, carbohydrate, thiamin, vitamin B6, folic acid, vitamin C, Na, K and Fe intake and 'dry skin', Ca intake and 'difficult concentration'. Our results indicate that dietary factors(food and nutrients intake, INQ, NAR, MAR) may effect the prevention and reduction of some climacteric symptoms in middle aged women.

The purpose of this study is to analyse the effects of obesity management program in food attitude and food habit, body composition(body fat ratio, body fat weight, lean body mass, total body water), abdominal girth(waist, hip, thigh), and serum lipid level(cholesterol, low density lipoprotein, triglyceride, phospholipid, NE fatty acid, high density lipoprotein) of middle aged women. Data for the study were collected from July 4 to August 25, 2000. The study objects were 20 middle aged women(10 controls and 10 experimental objects) from 40 to 50 years old who had body fat ratio more than $30\%$ and waist girth more than 80cm. The results were as follows: 1. Similarity test between experimental group and control group processed by serum HDL level showed the significant difference(t=3.25, p=0.004), but that processed by age, body weight, body fat ratio, body fat weight, lean body mass, total body water, waist girth, hip girth, thigh girth, cholesterol level, LDL level, triglyceride level, NE fatty acid level, food attitude and food habit score showed no significant difference(p>0.05). These findings imply that the two groups are similar in the sample distribution. 2. The effects of the abdominal obesity management program The obtained results indicate that the abdominal obesity management program in middle aged women changes the food attitude & the food habit. decreases the body fat ratio & the body fat weight and increases the lean body mass, and decreases the girth of waist & hip and the serum level of cholesterol & LDL. Therefore, it is concluded that the abdominal obesity management program can be applied for nursing intervention to decrease the body fat weight and abdominal obesity.
