Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the experience of falls, the fear of falling and fall efficacy and identify the predictors of falls in the elderly at senior citizens' centers. Method: The subjects of this study were 106 elders who used senior citizens' centers in Chungcheongbuk-do, Korea. Data were collected from May to June, 2006 through a survey using a structured questionnaire. Result: Of the elderly sampled, 35.8% experienced falls during the last 1 year. Of falls experienced by the elderly, 53% occurred indoors, 47% outdoors, 15.8% in the bathroom or toilet. In addition, 57.8% of the elderly had injuries on the hip and waist related with falls. The fear of falling was higher in those with experience in falls than in those without. Factors affecting the elders' falls were age (OR=1.113, 95% CI=1.012-1.224), the number of chronic disease (OR=2.342, 95% CI=1.365-4.019) and the fear of falling (OR=4.279, 95% CI=1.901-9.634). The predictor of the frequency of falls was fall efficacy ($R^2=24.9$). Conclusion: As a result, it is essential to develop fall prevention programs based on the fear of falling, fall efficacy, chronic diseases and medication state. And in senior citizens' centers, fall prevention safety education should be activated as a health promotion program.

The study was initially designed to look into the soon-to-be senior citizens' preferences for the life after retirement in aging society. Its outcomes are to be contributed to grading up the quality of housing culture through examining the expected changes of housing types in the future. The increasing number of the soon-to-be senior citizens becomes leading subjects in information, culture and consumption areas. Therefore it is significant to present a model of housing types for those citizens by analyzing their preferred residence after retirement. To complete those objectives, a set of questionnaires concerning sex, age, district, education and income of those subjects in 40's-50's, who are expected to be more than 20 percent of national population by 2030, were collected and analyzed to find out their preferences over housing types, residential welfare facilities, and co-housing. The results show that the preferences over the residential welfare facilities and co-housing for those who are able to move for themselves are low, while the preferences over single-unit houses in the suburbs within 2 hours from a city are very high. Preferences for apartments in the urban areas are high for those with high income and education. In contrast preferences for life in their hometowns are high for those whose income and education are relatively low. Most of those with some difficulties in moving for themselves want to get help with welfare facilities for the elderly people. And the preferences of those who want to receive help from assistants are different from those preferring to get help from their offsprings, which tells a need for further study of the convertible housing types according to their family members.

인간수명의 연장에 따라 우리나라도 2018년부터 고령사회에 진입하면서 빠른 속도로 증가하고 있는 노인교통사고가 사회적 문제로 나타나고 있다. 65세 이상 노인 교통사고율은 점점 높아지고 있지만, 이에 대한 교통 안전 정책은 미비한 실정이다. 2014년부터 최근 5년간 노인교통사고 현황 및 노인 운전자 교통사고에 대한 분석을 토대로 크게 3가지 측면에서 감소방안 제시하고자 한다. 먼저, 제도적 측면에서 미국, 영국, 일본처럼 정부기관 내 노인 교통정책 전담부서 설치 및 노인운전면허 제도를 강화하여 체계적인 관리가 필요하여, 환경적 측면으로는 교통약자를 위한 보행시간 및 횡단보도 통행환경을 개선해 나가야 한다. 또한, 인적측면에서는 노인 교통안전교육 강화를 위해 교통안전 전문가를 양성하여 교육의 실효성을 확보하고, 노인운전면허 소지자 안전교육 강화 및 체험식 교통안전시설을 확충하여 노인들에게 실시간 변하는 교통상황에 대처할 수 있는 능력을 향상시켜야 한다.

이 연구는 노인정보화 활동수준과 자기효능감 그리고 생활만족 및 우울 간의 구조적 관계를 실증분석하여 시사점을 제시하고자 하는 것이 본 연구의 목적이다. 이를 위해서 G광역시 및 자치구의 노인복지관에 등록하여 정보화교육에 참여하고 있는 노인 수강생들을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 자료분석은 SPSS 22.0 통계프로그램을 활용하여 회귀분석과 계층적 회귀분석에 의한 연구가설을 검증하였다. 분석결과 노인정보화 활동수준은 자기효능감의 수준을 높여 주고, 노인정보화 활동수준과 자기효능감은 노인들의 생활만족의 수준은 높여 주었으며, 우울의 수준은 낮춰주는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 자기효능감은 노인정보화 활동수준과 생활만족 및 우울 간의 관계에서 매개효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 분석결과를 기초로 하여 노인정보화 활동수준을 높여줄 수 있는 정책적 방안을 제시하였다.

Fourth, significant differences were shown in apparel properties by the lifestyle types of senior consumers in the symbolical property and the customer support property. The "symbolical property" was shown highest in "recreation-oriented type" and lowest in the "family weighted type." The customer support property was shown highest in the "family weighted type" and lowest in the "recreation-oriented type", showing the opposite result. Fifth, significant differences were shown in apparel attitudes by the lifestyle types of senior consumers in "Fashion Innovativeness", "Apparel Involvement" and "Apparel Necessity." The "fashion innovativeness" was shown highest in the "recreation-oriented type" and lowest in the "family weighted type." The apparel involvement and the necessity for apparel for senior citizens was shown high in the "recreation-oriented type" and this showed that the senior consumers valuing recreation also value fashion, have high apparel involvement and feel the necessity for apparel for senior citizens.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of handicraft activities on hand promptness and grasp in the elderly. Subjects were comprised of 14 senior citizens between the ages of 70-85, with 7 subjects in the experiment group and 7 in the control group. Subjects in the experiment group practiced various handicrafts twice a day, while those in the control group did not participate in any special activity. The Jebsen Taylor Hand Function Test was used to evaluate the results, while a dynamometer and pinch gauge were used to measure hand promptness and grasp. The 7 senior citizens in the experiment group were able to increase their hand promptness and grasping skills. Conclusively, handicrafts can help improve hand promptness and grasp in the elderly. Furthermore, the development and improvement of such skills can have a positive influence on the daily lives of senior citizens. Such skills are expected to improve the overall neuro-function in the elderly population.

The nation is turning into aging society, and safety accidents among elderly people are on the rise. When death roll caused by safety accidents was investigated, senior citizens who died from safety accidents outnumbered the other age groups who died for the same reason. The most common cause of death was traffic accidents, followed by suicide and a hurt from a fall, and Korea rated first among OECD member nations in death roll by traffic accidents. Aging brings a lot of physical changes to elderly people, and they are often likely to be involved in accidents such as a hurt from a fall due to degenerated sensory organs like hearing and eyesight and deteriorated motor skills. Unsafe social facilities also have them face a lot of accidents, including fracture and death, and such accidents take place even at home that is usually considered safe, or are triggered by things of daily use. As a result of comparing every age group's death roll by safety accidents, the number of senior citizens who died from safety accidents was far higher than that of the other age groups who died for the same reason in every accident field. In aging society, a sharp increase in the elderly population and ensuing safety accidents are expected to pose a serious threat to national economy, and diverse efforts should be put into tacking this problem. For instance, safety education should be provided to people in general including senior citizens on a regular basis, and more safety facilities should be prepared. Besides, safety equipment should be developed.
