Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the influence of physical activity and depression on sleep quality among the young-old and old-old community-dwelling elderly. Methods: Participants were 216 community-dwelling older adults in Korea aged 65 or above. Data were collected using structured questionnaires with face-to-face interviews that included demographic and health-related characteristics, International Physical Activity Questionnaires (IPAQ), the Short Form Geriatric Depression Scale (SGDS) and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). A hierarchical multiple regression was conducted to examine whether physical activity and depression would predict sleep quality under other controlled factors. Results: There were differences in demographic and health-related characteristics, physical activity, and depression by age groups, but not in sleep quality. In the young-old elderly, physical activity (${\beta}=-0.22$, p=.043) and depression (${\beta}=0.31$, p=.002) were significantly associated with sleep quality (F=4.46, p=.001, Adjusted $R^2=.16$). In the old-old elderly, physical activity (${\beta}=-0.29$, p=.001) and depression (${\beta}=0.41$, p<.001) were significantly associated with sleep quality (F=10.79, p<.001, Adjusted $R^2=.29$). Conclusion: These finding highlight physical activity and depression as important contributors to sleep quality in both young-old and old-old elderly.

Objectives: The purpose of the study is to investigate the influencing factors of metabolic syndrome on the periodontal disease in the Korean adults over 40 years old. Methods: The data were extracted from the Fifth National Health Nutrition Survey 2010. The subjects were adults over 40 years old. The periodontal diseases were examined by direct survey. The questionnaire consisted of the general characteristics of the subjects, oral health behavior, metabolic syndrome, and relation to periodontal diseases. CPI(community periodontal index) was measured. CPI indicates periodontal condition and classified into alveolar arch of the upper jaw and the lower jaw. A periodontal disease is defined as $CPI{\geq}3$(over 4 mm). The variables for metabolic diseases included hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, and obesity measured as BMI. Results: Diabetes mellitus is closely related to periodontal diseases prevalence. Low level of HDL increase the periodontal diseases. Number of toothbrushung, use of dental floss and interdental toothbrush as for the number of toothbrushing, more than twice toothbrushing a day, and use of dental floss and interdental toothbrush reduced periodontal diseases. Conclusions: The risk factors of periodontal disease in Korean adults over 40 years old were sex, age, residence, monthly income, education level, smoking, diabetes and low HDL cholesterol.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to identify factors influencing activities-specific balance confidence in community-dwelling older adults. Methods: This is secondary analysis of data from an intervention study for improving cognitive function. The data were collected from March 2 to September 30, 2017 at a senior center. Data of 131 older adults were included for this secondary analysis, and were analyzed by using t-test, ANOVA, and multiple regression. Results: The mean score of activities-specific balance confidence is 65.08 out of a possible range of 0-100. The significant factors affecting activities-specific balance confidence among old adults include 'more than 85 years old', 'waist circumference', 'depressive symptoms', 'activity restriction due to fear of falling', and 'self-rated health' which explained 52.8% of the variance. Conclusion: The study results indicate that psychologic factors as well as physical condition should be considered for interventions to increase activities-specific balance confidence.

이 연구의 주된 목적은 중년 성인 원가족의 부모자녀관계가 성인의 자기효능감, 자녀양육과 노부모부양 및 행복에 미치는 영향을 분석하는데 있다. 분석대상은 초, 중, 고, 대학생 자녀를 둔 성인 2,632명(남 1,275명, 여 1,357명)이었으며, 평균 연령은 45.44세(남 46.96세, 여 44.10세)였다. 분석 결과, 원가족의 부모자녀관계는 성인의 자기효능감과 자녀양육에 직접적인 영향이 있었고, 행복에 대해 간접적인 영향이 있었다. 즉 원가족의 부모자녀관계를 긍정적으로 지각할수록 자기효능감이 높고, 자녀양육에 헌신적이었으며, 높아진 자기효능감은 행복감을 증진하였다. 원가족의 부모자녀관계가 노부모부양에 미치는 영향은 성별로 차이가 있었다. 남자는 원가족의 부모자녀관계를 긍정적으로 지각할수록 노부모부양에 적극적이었으나, 여자는 직접적인 영향이 없었다. 이러한 결과에 토대하여 원가족의 부모자녀관계가 중년 성인의 심리특성 및 가족관계에 미치는 영향에 대해 논의하였다.

컴퓨터와 인터넷 사용의 급속한 확산에 따라 다양한 교육용 웹기반 코스웨어의 개발이 이루어지고 있다. 그러나, 장년 성인학습자를 위한 웹기반 코스웨어의 개발은 아직 미흡한 편이다. 기존의 웹기반 코스웨어는 주로 젊은 층을 대상으로 설계되어 있어 장년 성인들이 사용하기에 적당하지 않다. 본 논문에서는 장년의 성인들의 심리적, 사회적, 신체적 특성을 분석하고 이들을 위한 웹기반 코스웨어의 설계 방안을 제시한다. 그리고 제안한 설계 방안을 엑셀과목의 웹기반 코스웨어에 적용하고 그 결과를 설문조사를 통해 분석하였다.

Objectives : The aim of the present study was to propose more substantial data for evaluating the quality of life of adults in terms of oral health as well as provide the basic data necessary to develop an effective oral health care program that improves the quality of life of adults by age group. Methods : Raw data were used from the sixth Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey for the first and second years which was conducted from January 2013 to December 2014. Multiple regression analysis was conducted with the collected data by gender and age group to determine the impact of oral functions on the quality of life of adults. Results : It turned out that oral function has an impact on the quality of life of adults by age group as follows: young people (${\beta}$=.077), middle-age people (${\beta}$=.101), young-old elderly people (${\beta}$=.140), and old-old elderly people (${\beta}$=.143). It was shown that as people grow older, they have better quality of life only when they have good oral function. Conclusions : It is necessary to develop a proper oral health care program that prevents oral diseases and improves oral function by age group, which eventually will lead to good oral health. Continuous oral healthcare is also considered necessary.

Congenital bronchoesophageal fistula without esophageal atresia is very rare and often has an insidious clinical course that occasionally persists into adult life. Here are presented five cases of congenital bronchoesophageal fistula without esophageal atresia in adults treated successfully in the Seoul National University Hospital. The patients included two women and three men in the range of 16 and 45 years old. [mean age: 32 years old] Three of five cases could be diagnosed preoperatively by esophagogram and bronchogram but two of them could only be found in operative field. Cineesophagogram is recommended, on review of the literature, to be the most rewarding diagnostic procedure.

본 연구는 그룹홈 거주 중고령 발달장애인의 생활만족도에 영향을 미치는 요인을 분석하고 있다. 이를 위해 서울시 그룹홈 종사자들의 대리응답조사와 발달장애인 당사자 대상으로 한 심층면접조사를 병행하였으며, 최종적으로 387명의 자료가 확보되었다. 분석결과에 따르면, 청년기 발달장애인들의 생활만족도는 직원 직무수행 수준이 높을수록, 지역사회활동 수준이 높을수록 높게 나타났다. 이에 비해 중고령 발달장애인들의 생활만족도는 활동피로감 수준이 낮을수록, 이용자 선택 수준이 높을수록, 직원 직무수행 수준이 높을수록, 사회활동 참여수준이 높을수록 높게 나타났다. 그룹홈의 직원직무수행은 청년기와 중고령기에 공통적으로 유의하지만, 활동피로감, 이용자 선택, 사회활동 참여 등은 중고령기에만 유의한 것으로 정리된다. 이상의 결과는 그룹홈 중고령 발달장애인의 생활만족도 증진을 위해서는 다른 연령층에 대비되는 이들의 차별적 욕구를 고려한 특화 건강지원, 사회활동지원, 서비스 공급노력이 요구된다는 점을 보여준다. 이는 그룹홈 발달장애인 당사자의 견해에 기초한 생활만족도를 증진하려는 노력과 그 맥을 같이한다. 본 연구는 향후 조기노화의 위험이 높은 다운증후군장애인, 뇌성마비 및 지적 중복장애인 등을 대상으로 이들의 차별적 욕구와 현황을 살피려는 연구로 확장되기를 제언한다.
