Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the relationship between self reported climacteric symptoms, and depression, and the quality of life in middle aged women. Method: The subjects of this study were 149 women from 40 to 64 years of age. Climacteric symptoms were measured with Neugarton's tool(1965) and depression with Zung's tool. Quality of life was related to self reported climacteric symptoms were education level (F=3.011, p=.035), income measured by Rho's tool(1988). Result: The general characteristic variables significantly level (F=2.670, p=.057), income satisfaction (F=3.413. p=.011), perceived subjective health condition(F=28.623, p=.000). The general characteristic variables significantly related to depression were age(t=-2.476, p=.014), education level (F=4.492, p.013). income satisfaction (F=2.845, p.026), perceived subjective health condition (F = 8.468, p=.000). The general characteristics variables significantly related to quality of life were income level (F= 5.010, p=.000), income satisfaction (F=6.314, p=.000), perceived subjective health condition (F=3.516, p<=.032). menstruation cycles(t=-2.66, p=.023). The relationship between self reported climacteric symptoms and depression had a statistically a positive correlation (r=.357, p=.000). The relationship between depression and quality of life had a statistically with a negative correlation(r=-.397, p=.000). Conclusion: These results may contribute to a better understanding of depression and quality of life in middle aged women. Therefore, health programs for prompting climacteric women´s health should be a planned based on results of the study.

This study examines the clothing pursuit benefit and pursued image of middle aged men according to lifestyle and body satisfaction. A survey was carried out among male consumers between the ages of 40 and 50, and a total of 322 responses were analyzed by factor analysis, a reliability test, cluster analysis, t-test, and ANOVA. The results of this study were as follows. Middle aged men were classified into four different groups in terms of lifestyles, including health managing, trend-seeking, economic consumption, and proactive lifestyle groups. As a result of looking at the differences in clothing pursuit benefits among four lifestyle groups, two lifestyle groups such as trend-seeking and proactive lifestyle groups both considered individuality more importantly than other clothing pursuit benefits. The proactive lifestyle group considered comfort, social recognition and individuality benefits. As a result of looking at differences in the pursued image of clothing among lifestyle groups, the proactive lifestyle group preferred a classic, refined and mild clothing image. There were significant differences in clothing pursuit benefits and pursued images between high- and low-level groups of body satisfaction. Those with high body satisfaction considered individuality, social recognition, and comfort more than those with low body satisfaction. The high body satisfaction group preferred all clothing images such as mild, classic and refined.

본 연구는 중고령 장애인의 사회안전 인식 수준과 영향요인을 분석하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 2018년 사회조사에 응답한 50세 이상 장애인을 분석대상으로 하였으며, 응답자의 인구사회학적 요소와 위험대처수준, 본인준법수준, 타인준법수준, 공공질서 준수수준을 주요 변인으로 위계적 회귀분석을 통해 사회안전 인식에 영향을 미치는 요소와 영향의 수준을 분석했다. 분석결과 조사 응답자의 성별, 연령, 거주지역, 교육수준, 주관적 건강상태, 위험대처수준, 타인 준법수준, 공공질서 준수수준 요인이 중고령 장애인의 사회안전 인식수준에 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구를 통해 중고령 장애인의 사회안전 인식에는 개인적 요건과 사회적 자본(social capital)의 중요성을 알 수 있었으며, 향후 장애유형별 안전인식에 대한 차이를 연구하거나 인식과 함께 실제적 사회안전수준도 연구에서 함께 고려해야 할 것으로 논의하였다.

중년여성은 발달주기 상 신체적, 정신적 스트레스를 많이 받는 시기이다. 이러한 스트레스는 만성적인 고통과 질병으로 연결되기 때문에 삶의 질을 저하시키는 원인이 된다. 이에 대한 대안으로 산림치유가 주목받고 있다. 산림치유는 산림의 치유적 요소를 통해 인간의 건강을 향상시키는 것을 말한다. 이에 본 연구는 감각통찰기반 산림치유 프로그램이 중년 여성의 스트레스 저감에 효과가 있는지를 확인하기 위하여 수행되었다. 이를 위해 산림치유 프로그램에 참가하기를 원하는 중년 여성을 모집하여 실험집단과 통제집단으로 각 20명씩 무작위 배정하여 사전-사후 검사를 실시하였다. 산림치유 프로그램은 감각과 통찰 기반으로 6시간 8회기로 구성되었다. 산림치유 프로그램 장소는 제주 사려니숲에서 진행하였으며, 측정도구는 지각된 스트레스, 여가만족도, 맥파검사를 통한 스트레스 지수를 측정하여 비교하였다. 연구 결과 산림치유 프로그램은 스트레스를 낮추고, 여가만족도를 향상시키는 것으로 나타났다.

이 연구는 비만 중년 남성을 대상으로 복부비만 유무에 따른 체질량지수와 인슐린저항성 및 베타세포 기능간의 관련성을 알아보고자 하였다. 2018년 1월부터 2020년 6월까지 경기도 소재 종합병원에서 건강검진을 받은 비만 중년 남성 797명을 대상으로 하였다. 복부비만 동반군은 327명, 복부비만을 동반하지 않은군은 470명이며, 두 군간에 공복혈당(p<0.001), HbA1c(p=0.003), 인슐린(p<0.001), HOMA-IR(p<0.001)은 차이가 있었다. 체질량지수는 복부비만 동반 유무와 관계없이 인슐린저항성 및 베타세포 기능에 영향을 미치는 요인이었다. 또한 체질량지수는 복부비만 동반 유무와 관계없이 인슐린저항성 및 베타세포 기능저하의 질환 발병과 관련이 있었다. 따라서 중년 비만 남성의 건강관리를 위한 운동 프로그램 수행 및 정기적인 검진을 통해 체질량지수의 지표 관리가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

It is thought that calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) may be related to mental disorders such as depression; however, there have been few studies investigating the association between Ca and Mg nutrition status with depression in middle-aged female adults. Study subjects in this study included 105 women between the ages of 41 and 57 years. The subjects were divided into three groups according to the Zung Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) score: Group I (SDS score < 33 percentile; n = 32), Group II (33 percentile ${\leq}$ SDS score < 67 percentile; n = 37), and Group III (67 percentile ${\leq}$ SDS score; n = 36). Anthropometric measurements, dietary intake survey using 3-day dietary records, SDS questionnaire and measurement of serum Ca and Mg were obtained and analyzed. No differences were observed in Ca, plant Ca, and Mg intake among the three groups. However, animal Ca intake by Group III was 141.3 mg, which was significantly lower than 207.6 mg by Group I and 198.3 mg by Group II (P = 0.0345). There were no significant differences in serum levels of Ca, and Mg among the three groups. Correlation analysis indicated that the SDS score had negative correlations with Ca intake (r = -0.2927, P<0.01) and animal Ca (r = -0.3411, P<0.001) after adjusting for age, menopause and energy intake. In conclusion, dietary Ca and animal Ca had negative associations with SDS score among middle-aged Korean female adults. Additional analysis of factors related to the association of calcium and magnesium nutritional status and depression is necessary.

The purpose of this study was to confirm that calcium intake and healthy status play a role in reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease, to assure that calcium intake and regular exercise are important in reducing serum lipid levels in middle-aged women. Daily nutrient intakes were analyzed by convenient method. Anthropometric measurement such as body weight and height and blood pressure were measured. The subjects divided into two groups : women in group I under 50 years of age($\leq$49 yr group) and those in group II 50 years up($\geq$50 yr group). Average ages of group I and II were 43.87 and 53.46 years. The nutrients intake of subjects were higher than Korean recommended dietary allowances(KRDA) except calorie, iron, calcium, vitamin B1. They showed significant difference each other in vitamin B2(p<0.05), calcium(p<0.01) intake. Mean daily calcium intake was 540.88mg in $\leq$49 yr group and 519.50mg in $\geq$50 yr group. The levels of serum cholesterol, triglyceride, blood pressure, Atherogenic Index(AI), LDL/HDL and Cardiac Index(CI) were increased with age. The triglyceride and total cholesterol concentrations and LDL/HDL in $\geq$50 yr group were significantly higher than those of $\leq$49 yr group. There was a highly significantly positive correlation between age and triglyceride, total cholesterol and Atherogenic Index(AI). Triglyceride, total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol concentration and Atherogenic Index(AI) were positively correlated with body weight and WHR(waist-hip ratio). Also ther was a significantly negative correlation between exercise and Cardiac Index(CI). Also a significantly negative correlation was found between Ca intake and LDL-cholesterol. Exercise and Cardiac Index(CI) also had a significantly negative relation. The results suggest that increased habitual physical activity and calcium intake should be recommended as a way of decreasing blood lipids and blood pressure in middle-aged women.

본 연구는 농촌지역 중·노년층 주민의 주관적 건강상태와 삶의 질과의 관계를 파악하고, 주관적 건강상태와 삶의 질과의 관계에서 우울의 매개효과를 확인하여 농촌지역 중·노년층 주민의 삶의 질 향상을 위한 방안을 모색하고자 시도 되었다. A군의 40세 이상 주민 235명의 주관적 건강상태, 우울, 삶의 질을 측정하여 분석하였고 매개효과의 통계적 유의성은 Sobel test로 검증하였다. 대상자의 주관적 건강상태는 삶의 질과 정적 상관관계가 있었으며 우울은 주관적 건강상태, 삶의 질의 신체적 건강지수와 정신적 건강지수 모두에서 부적 상관관계가 있었다. 주관적 건강상태와 우울은 농촌지역 중·노년층 주민의 삶의 질을 결정짓는 중요한 요인이며, 주관적 건강상태와 삶의 질의 관계에서 우울은 삶의 질에 매개효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 농촌지역 중노년층 주민의 삶의 질 향상을 위해 주관적 건강상태 개선 및 우울 경감을 위한 다양한 프로그램 개발 및 운영이 요구된다.
