The objective of this study was to investigate the perception of walking environment and use of neighborhood facilities of rural female elderly, who are the most susceptible to ambulatory problems. The study showed that parks, senior centers and hospitals were among the most frequently used neighborhood facilities by rural female elderly, while bus stations and senior centers were recognized as the closest facilities. Frequency of use was higher for paid sports facilities rather than parks. Hospitals and health centers were facilities that were desired to be in close proximity. Social support, self-efficacy, and attitude were the factors that affected walking environment. Street trees, accessibility to parks, and street lights were factors that showed a positive relationship with total time of walking activity while perceived crime rate and slopes were perceived as environmental challenges for groups that walked under 150 minutes per week. One factor that negatively affected walking was the lack of sidewalks on streets. Providing parks and walking trails within neighborhood, pleasant walking environments, and safe sidewalks would contribute to improved perception of neighborhood and walking of older rural women.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to understand the relevance of chronic disease conditions and fall experience among people aged 65 and older. and use them as basic data to reduce the risk of falling. Methods: The study selected 26,122 men and 37,777 women aged 65 and over as final subjects of the study, using raw data from the Community Health Survey in 2015. The statistical analysis used SAS 9.4 USA. Results: About 20% of those aged 65 and older experienced a fall, with one in five elderly people experiencing a fall, and the ratio of men to women was 3:7, women higher than men. As the age grew, the lower the level of education, the more senior citizens who lived alone occurred falls. In addition, the incidence of falls was higher when the number of chronic diseases was more than three. The incidence of falls was 1.1-1.5 times higher depending on chronic diseases.

본 연구는 기체조 운동중재가 여성고령자의 혈당, 혈중지질, 체력(SFT) 변화에 미치는 영향을 분석하고, 이를 통해 여성고령자들의 건강증진 활동을 위한 기체조 운동중재의 효용성을 규명하는데 목적이 있다. 연구대상은 80세 이상 여성고령자 총 24명을 각각 기체조집단(n=12)과 통제집단(n=12)으로 나누고, 24주간 주5회 1일 60분씩 프로그램을 실시하였다. 자료의 분석은 SPSS WIN 20.0으로 반복측정 변량분석(Repeated Measures ANOVA)을 실시하였으며, 그 결과 첫째, 혈당은 기체조집단이 통제집단 보다 유의하게 낮아진 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 혈중지질은 기체조집단이 통제집단 보다 중성지방(TG)이 유의하게 감소되었으며, 총콜레스테롤(TC), 고밀도지단백(HDL-C), 저밀도지단백(LDL-C)은 유의한 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 셋째, 체력(SFT)은 기체조집단이 통제집단 보다 하지근력, 하지유연성, 전신지구력 모두 유의하게 높아진 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과로 기체조는 여성고령자들의 혈당, 중성지방(TG) 감소와 SFT체력(하지근력, 하지유연성, 전신지구력) 향상에 영향을 미쳐 여성고령자 운동처방 프로그램으로의 효용성을 기대할 수 있다고 사료된다.

이 연구는 장기간 운동에 참여한 여성 노인들의 긍정심리자본 경험과 긍정심리자본 획득·발달에 영향을 미치는 요인을 심층적으로 이해하기 위하여 수행된 현상학적 연구이다. 우리나라는 여성이 남성보다 평균연령이 8세나 높고, 도움이 필요한 국내 노인 중 2/3가 여성이므로 여성 노인 문제에 관한 연구는 시급하다. 연구참여자는 서울시에 소재한 스포츠 센터 소속 여성 노인 7명이다. 자료수집은 2020년 3월부터 5월까지 1회 90~180분, 각 참여자당 2회의 심층 면담을 통해 진행되었으며, Colaizzi의 현상학적 연구방법을 활용하여 분석하였다. 분석결과 규칙적인 삶, 관계α관심의 삶, 변화하는 삶, 만족하는 삶이 노인 여성의 긍정심리자본을 획득α발달시키는 요인으로 나타났으며, 이것은 건강을 유지하고, 규칙성과 관계성을 유지하여야 가능한 것으로 나타났다. 운동으로 긍정심리자본을 획득하며 성공적인 노화를 이루어낸 참여자들의 경험은 고령 사회문제에 해법으로 제시되며, 나아가 노년기를 앞둔 청·장년층에게 성공적 노화를 위한 건강한 길잡이 역할을 할 것으로 예상한다.

Dependent variables were: 1) physical health [e.g. physical fitness(cardiopulmonary endurance, back muscle strength, grip strength, muscular tolerance, flexibility and body fat proportion), physiologic parameters(blood pressure, pulse, respiration. and blood glucose), and perceived physical health status; 2) mental health measured by depression score; and 3) cognitive perception of exercise measured by usefulness and self-efficacy. A total of 37 subjects was randomly assigned into either the control group (without the exercise program: n=18) or the intervention group(with the exercise program: n=19). The results of the study analyzed using a SAS, were as follows: 1) In physical fitness of physical health, there was a significant improvement in cardiopulmonary tolerance. back muscle strength. muscular tolerance and flexibility in the intervention group, compared to the control group, while no difference in grip strength and body fat proportion. The exercise program resulted in decreases in blood pressure, pulse, respiration and blood glucose within normal range and improvement of perceived physical health status in the intervention group. 2) There was a slight increase of mental health(depression score) in the intervention group compared to the control group. but without statistical significance. 3) There was a significant improvement in cognitive perception of exercise(e.g. usefulness and self -efficacy) in the intervention group, compared to the control group.
