This study investigates the mediation effects of adult children's ambivalence for elderly parents in the relation of psychological well-being of middle aged children with dependence and the intrusiveness of elderly parents that examines the difference of mediation effects by children's gender. We collected data from 659 middle aged children of 40 to 59 years old who have living mother or father. The main findings are as follows. First, there were mediation effects of ambivalence for elderly parents in the relation between psychological well-being of middle aged children and dependency and intrusiveness of elderly parents. The perceived dependence and intrusiveness of elderly parents had a positive influence on the ambivalence of middle aged childen for their elderly parents. Ambivalence for elderly parents had a negative effect on the psychological well-being of middle aged children. In addition, the dependence and intrusiveness of elderly parents did not directly influence the psychological well-being of middle aged children. Second, the mediation effect of ambivalence for elderly parents indicated a gender difference of middle aged children. The dependence of elderly parents affected the ambivalence for elderly parents in the woman group and the intrusiveness of elderly parents only affected ambivalence for elderly parents in the man group. The results were discussed in terms of gender difference.

Burden of disease analysis provides a unique perspective on health by integrating fatal and non-fatal outcomes, yet allows the outcome of two classes to be examined separately. Although many studies have shown the inequality in health outcomes across socioeconomic status (SES), an analysis and comparison of Disability Adjusted Life Year (DALY) between different socioeconomic groups has been rare. This paper calculates the DALY and analyzes the distribution of DALYs for different SES. This study draws from 3,278 cases from the survey on "The Livelihood and Welfare Needs of the Elderly (2004)". It first provides a comprehensive assessment of the burden of 10 chronic diseases of the elderly based on DALY. Then this paper analyzes inequalities in the burden of disease by the levels of SES such as education, income, family size, occupation, and subjective economic conditions. For the elderly, the burden of disease is the highest for hypertension, arthritis and cancer. DALY rate per 1,000 people for the most socio-economically disadvantaged group is expressed as a multiple of the standardized rate for the least disadvantaged group (Rate Ratios). Family size is strongly related to. the difference in the burden of disease between SES groups, and the elderly Who live alone have higher DALY rate than those who live with their family. Other significant variables related to SES groups include subjective economic conditions, occupation, elderly income, and household income.

Since 1980's, Countless schools across the nation, particularly in rural areas, have been closed down by the large fall in number of students. Otherwise, an elderly population has been increasing rapidly, so the demand for welfare services for the elderly population is also increasing. However, the supply of elderly welfare facilities remains inadequate. The purpose of this study is to propose remodelling plan of elderly welfare facility using Closed schools. The result of this study were as follows; in unit-based facility plans, Single room type can be used for elder who lives alone or an elderly couple. Senior Congregate Housing type can be used for four to five people. These two types have equal sunlight and ventilation conditions for each room, and are for an old man in relatively good health. Membership resort type is for the healthy senior who lives in the rural area or lives in the city who wants short-term residence. In case of a Nursing home type, the existing one-sided corridor was converted into a central corridor and each classroom is divided into four rooms. This type has advantage for nursing and management, on the other hand, the corridor is narrow and each room has differences for sunlight and ventilation.

Purpose: The purpose was to investigate the physiological parameter and physical health status and health perception in the elderly, and to find the correlation between these variables. The subjects were 139 in Kyungi senior center. Method: The instruments for this study were physiological parameters, which were composed of vital capacity, blood pressure, pulse oxygenation, hand grip power, body fat and physical health status scale developed by researcher, and health perception scale developed by Ware(1976). The data were analyzed by the SPSS-PC 11.0 version. Results: 1) 7.9% of subjects were included in abnormal range of vital capacity, 40.3% were systolic hypertension and 11.5% were diastolic hypertension. And 92.1% were included in normal range of pulse oxygenation, 79.8% were weakened hand grip power, and 10.1% of subjects were included in normal range of body fat. 2) The total mean score of the physical health status was 26.34 of a possible maximum score of 45. The physical health status score of women was lower than man's. 3) The mean score of man's health perception was 24.52 and women's was 20.39 of a possible maximum score of 44. 4) There was a significant positive correlation between hand grip power and physical health status(r=.28, p=.001). And a significant correlation between physical health status and health perception was found (r=.24, p=.004). Conclusion: It is concluded that the blood pressure, hand grip power and body fat among the physiological parameters of elderly subjects in Kyungi senior center were included in abnormal range. The factors were related life style. therefore, it is suggested that the health education to change life style for the elderly is needed.

본 연구는 기존에 제기된 고령남성의 경제활동참가를 설명하는 이론(가설)이 우리나라 고령남성의 경제활동참가를 설명하기에는 부족하다는 판단아래, 노후빈곤노동가설과 숙련편향기술진보설을 적용하여 분석하였다. 자료는 통계청의 경제활동인구총괄($1965{\sim}2007$), 추계인구($1965{\sim}2007$), 임금구조기본통계($1993{\sim}2005$), 노동패널 $1{\sim}9$차 원 자료, 2005년 가계조사이며, 회귀분석은 로지스틱 분석을 활용하였다. 분석결과 첫째, 우리나라 고령남성의 경제활동참가율은 산업화가 본격적으로 이루어진 1965년 이후 증가추세를 이어가고 있어, 선진국의 감소추세와는 다르다. 둘째, $1998{\sim}2005$년까지 빈곤 고령남성의 경제활동참가율이 비빈곤 고령남성의 경제활동참가율보다 평균 5.2% 높았다. 셋째, 점점 상위 직종(고위직 및 전문가)은 비고령 계층이 차지하고, 하위 직종(단순노무직)은 고령계층이 주를 이루어가고 있었다. 넷째, 고학력자의 노동공급이 증가한 것보다 그들에 대한 노동수요는 더 크게 증가한 반면, 저학력자의 노동공급은 줄었는데, 이들에 대한 노동수요는 더 큰 폭으로 감소하였다. 그 결과 대학프리미엄이 139%(1993년)에서 157.8%(2005년)로 높아졌다. 다섯째, 고령자의 경제활동 참가율을 설명하는 이론(가설)으로서, 산업화 근대화 가설은 최근 우리나라 상황에도 적용된다. 그러나 노후풍요가설은 고령자의 경제활동참가에 영향을 미치지만, 영향력은 미약하였다. 특히 노후빈곤이 노후경제활동의 주된 메커니즘으로 나타나, 본 연구에서 주장한 노후빈곤노동가설이 지지되었다. 숙련편향기술진보설은 우리나라 고령남성의 경제활동참가율을 부분적으로 설명하지만, 그 외에도 인적자본 특히 고학력보다는 고졸이면서 상대적으로 숙련편향정도가 낮은 직종의 기술 혹은 노후빈곤이 영향을 미친 것으로 판단된다.

Recently, Smart Home System(SHS) is applied in order to provide comfort, energy efficient and better security to the residence. Thus, by introducing the SHS in the house of elderly people, it is possible to provide a convenient and safe life for old people especially living alone. This paper presents the design and implementation of a low cost but yet flexible and secure smart-phone based SHS. The design is based on inter-working between Arduino board with Bluetooth and Arduino board with Ethernet shield, and the home monitor/appliances are connected to the input/output ports of this board via sensors/relays. In addition, when the old man is put on an emergency, the proposed system will automatically notify it the family. Therefore, we have implemented an inexpensive and efficient SHS for the elderly living alone by inter-working smart phones, internet server and Arduino micro-controller.
