The statistical methods were frequency, percentile, mean, standard deviation, ${\chi}^2$, t-test, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and logistic regression analysis. The findings of this study are as follows. First, the percentile of preparation for living costs for old age was 49.9% for the middle-aged households. In terms of the types of preparation for living costs for old age, the results showed 61.6% of personal preparation, 33.9% of pension system, and 1.3% for children and relatives. In relation to the adequacy of the preparations for living costs for old age, preparations made by 57.4% of the middle-aged households were inadequate. Observing the minimum living costs for old age and adequate living costs after retirement for single and couple, the minimum living costs of the middle-aged households was 1.46 million won for couple and 0.91 million won for single.

Background: Diabetes is known as one of the most important ambulatory care sensitive conditions. This study purposed to assess the status of continuity of care (COC) and diabetes-related avoidable hospitalizations (DRAHs) of a group of middle- and old-aged patients and to observe the relationship of the two elements by the two age groups. Methods: This study utilized the National Health Insurance Service's National Sample Cohort data and the subjects are diabetes patients of 45 and over, classified into two groups of 'middle-aged'(45-64 years) and 'old-aged'(${\geq}65years$) patients. The dependent variable was DRAHs, which was defined in accordance with the definition of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development "Health Care Quality Indicators" project. COC, as an independent variable, is measured by the COC index in this study. Two-part model (multi-variate and multi-level analyses) was utilized. Results: Factors associated with the status and the number of DRAHs differed by each age group. Meanwhile, the two-part model showed that higher COC was associated with a lower risk of preventable hospitalizations in both middle- and old-aged groups. Conclusion: Study findings can provide health policy insights and implications in order to strengthen the primary care system for further improvement of diabetes management, especially for middle- and old-aged groups.

본 연구에서는 자기공명영상(magnetic resonance imaging, MRI)을 이용하여 중년 및 초고령의 허혈성 뇌혈관 호발 부위를 분석하여 임상에 기초자료로 제시하고자 하였다. 2006년 5월부터 2008년 1월까지 허혈성 뇌혈관 질환으로 자기공명영상검사를 받은 69 명(평균나이: 44.2세, 남: 43명, 여: 26명)의 중년 환자군과 129 명(평균나이: 84.7세, 남: 58명, 여: 71명)의 초고령 환자군에 대해 후향적으로 분석하였다. 뇌혈관 부위는 앞교통 동맥(anterior communication artery, ACoA), 뒤교통 동맥(posterior communication artery, PCoA), 앞대뇌 동맥(anterior cerebral artery, ACA), 중간대뇌 동맥(middle cerebral artery, MCA), 뒤대뇌 동맥(posterior cerebral artery, PCA), 속목 동맥(internal carotid artery, ICA), 온목 동맥(common carotid artery, CCA), 그리고 뇌바닥 동맥(basilar artery, BA)으로 나누었으며, BA를 제외한 모든 혈관들의 허혈성 뇌혈관 위치는 좌, 우, 양쪽으로 분류하였다. 그 결과 허혈성 뇌혈관은 중년 환자군에서 남성이 여성보다 많았고 남성, 여성 모두 MCA에서 가장 많이 발생하였으며 초고령 환자군에서는 좌, 우, 양측의 혈관에서 고른 발생빈도와 여성이 남성보다 많았으며 남성은 ICA, 여성은 MCA에서 많이 호발하고 있었다. 특히, MCA에서 초고령의 남자환자군보다 중년의 남자 환자군에서 많이 발생하고 있었다. 이러한 허혈성 뇌혈관 호발 부위의 분석은 임상적 진단과 치료에 도움을 줄 수 있으리라 사료된다.

본 연구는 수도권의 인구 고령화 현상을 예견하면서 향후 사회복지 정책과 서비스를 계획하고 구체적인 복지 서비스 기관과 시설을 재편성하는 기초 자료를 마련할 목적으로 시행되었다. 수도권 3개 지역에 거주하는 40대에서 80대까지의 30명을 표본으로 선정하여 심층적 면접을 통해 노후생활에 대한 인식과 노인에 대한 인식을 살펴보았다. 경제적 측면에서 노인에 대한 부정적 고정관념(ageism)으로 노인에게 취업의 기회가 잘 주어 지지 않는 것은 물론 노인 스스로도 능력이 떨어진다거나 능력이 없다고 판단하는 경우가 많은 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 이러한 중년층과 노년층 사이에도 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. 사회적 측면에서는 중년층 및 노년층 모두 별 차이 없이 사회 참여도가 낮았고, 노년층의 경우 일상생활 일과에서 특별한 목표가 없고 규칙적이지도 못하고 계획도 거의 없는 편이었다. 심리사회적 측면에서는 중년기 이후 세대들은 세대 간의 큰 차이 없이 아직도 가족, 이웃과 사회에서 소외되었다고 느끼지 않았다. 복지 서비스 측면에서도 중년층과 노년층 큰 차이 없이 모두 소득보장, 의료보장, 주거보장 등의 기본적인 서비스를 필요로 하고 있었고, 사회 서비스가 부족하다고 인식하고 있었으며, 특히 원하는 사회 서비스를 받기 위해서는 1 시간 이상의 이동도 가능하다고 했다. 중년층과 노년층 모두 노후준비의 필요성과 시의성에 대해 동의하지만 사회복지제도의 미흡과 자녀 양육 및 교육 때문에 실제적 준비를 할 수 없거나 할 수 없었다고 했다. 노후생활에 대한 인식에서는 중년층과 노년층 사이에는 큰 차이 없이 약간 긍정적이었고, 도시와 농촌 간에는 긍정적 정도가 엇갈리게 나타나고 있었다. 노인에 대한 인식은 세대 간과 연령에 관계없이 긍정적인 면은 거의 없는 반면에 부정적 면이 압도적으로 많았다. 본 연구는 또한 이러한 결과가 향후 수도권의 노인복지 정책과 서비스에 관련되는 함의도 제시하였다.
