본 연구는 급속한 한국의 인구 고령화로 노후설계의 필요성이 증대되고 있음에도 불구하고 사회와 다소 소외되어 있는 군인을 대상으로 노후생활인식이 노후설계준비에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 연구결과 인구사회학적 특성에 따른 차이는 2개 영역(경제적 여가)의 노후설계준비에서 계급, 학력, 종교, 가정구성에서 유의한 차이를 보였으나 신체적 영역에서는 재산만이 유의한 차이를 보여 군 특성이 반영된 결과를 나타냈다. 예비 전역자의 노후생활인식이 노후설계준비에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지의 연구에서는 노후생활인식을 '성공적인 노후생활의 인식'과 '노후에 예상되는 문제점 인식'으로 상반된 개념의 두 가지 요인을 적용한 결과, 이들은 2개 영역(경제적 여가)의 노후설계준비에 정(+)의 영향을 주는 요인이었으나 신체적 영역에서는 유의하지 않았다. 전직지원교육 학습활동의 조절효과는 노후생활인식 중 '예상되는 문제점 인식'에 조절효과가 나타났으나 '성공노년 인식'요인에는 나타나지 않았다.

이 글은 고령시대에 진입한 우리나라에서 노년에 관한 인문학적인 성찰이 본격화되는 시점에 '노년 철학'의 가능성을 타진해 보는 데 목적을 둔다. 특히 해탈을 목표로 삼는 인도의 힌두철학이 주로 개인적 차원에서 노년철학을 구성하거나 적용하는 경우에 최적의 모형일 수 있다고 가정한 채 힌두철학의 대표주자인 베단따 철학을 노년 철학의 한 모형으로 재구성해 보려고 한다. 우선 해탈 중심적인 힌두철학의 공통적 사유가 노년의 특성과 매우 흡사하다는 점을 밝힘으로써 그 철학이 인생의 후반기를 위한 철학 즉 '노년을 위한 철학'이라는 것을 규명한다. 그러고 나서 베단따 철학의 정신 우월주의, 세계 환영설, 무관계의 해탈론이 노년 철학에 잘 부합할 수 있는 특성이라는 것을 증명한다. 마지막으로 베단따 철학에서 가장 잘 구현되어 온 힌두교의 산냐신(진리유랑자) 전통이 '노년을 위한 철학'을 넘어 '철학을 위한 노년'을 정립한다고 역설한다. 베단따 철학은 '노년을 위해' 존재한다기보다 '노년에 의해' 존재한다고 할 수 있을 만큼, 진리 탐구에 최적화된 존재인 노년의 산냐신을 철학적 탐구의 당당한 주체로 확립하고 있기 때문이다. 결국 베단따 철학에 따르면, 존재론적으로 또 수행론적으로 긍정성이 극대화되는 시기인 노년 그 자체는 노년의 부정성이 아니라 인간 조건의 부정성 또는 삶의 부정성을 극복할 수 있는 최적의 상태이다.

Purpose: Malnutrition affects all age groups, but older adults are particularly more vulnerable to nutritional deficiencies. This study evaluated the age-specific factors affecting malnutrition in hospitalized older adults. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on inpatient elderly people who received artificial nutrition from 2010 to 2017. Data of demographics, diagnosis, type of nutrition therapy, number of comorbidity, fall risk assessment, Acute Physiologic Assessment and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) score, and intensive care unit admission were collected. Malnutrition was defined as a body mass index (BMI) of less than 18.5 kg/m². Patients were classified as the young-old (65~74 years old), the old-old (75~84 years old), or the oldest-old (85 years old or older). Results: A total of 7,130 older adults were included, and 4,028 patients were classified as the young-old, 2,506 into the old-old, and 596 into the oldest-old. Proportion of malnutrition was higher in the oldest-old compared to the other groups. In multivariate analysis, parenteral nutrition, alcohol, and high risk of falls were factors affecting malnutrition in all groups. Parenteral nutrition and alcohol in the young-old, high risk of falls in the old-old, and male sex in the oldest-old were the factors affecting malnutrition by the age group. Conclusion: Older age was the most significant factor affecting malnutrition. Specific strategies by age are needed to improve nutritional status in hospitalized older adults as influencing factors for malnutrition vary among different age groups.

본 연구의 목적은 베이비붐 세대의 노후준비도에 영향을 미치는 요인을 알아보고 이를 바탕으로 베이비붐 세대의 노후생활 준비 향상을 위한 기초 자료를 제공하고자 한다. 연구결과 인구사회학적 특성에서는 성별, 연령, 건강상태, 월평균소득이 그리고 노후태도, 노후불안이 노후준비도에 유의미한 영향력이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 즉 남자보다는 여자가, 연령이 높을수록, 건강상태가 좋을수록, 월평균소득이 높을수록 그리고 노후태도가 높을수록, 노후불안이 낮을수록 노후준비도가 높게 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과를 근거로 정책제언을 하면, 첫째, 인구사회학적 특성에 따라 세대별 욕구와 특성에 맞는 노후준비 서비스가 개발되어야 한다. 둘째, 노후태도를 높일 수 있는 의식변화와 단계별 노후생활 준비교육이 필요하다. 셋째, 노후불안을 낮출 수 있는 다양한 정신건강 프로그램이 개발 보급되어야 한다.

This study examines adult perceptions of old age planning and the factors that explain the degree of their planning for the future. The data came from 478 adults between the age of 30 and 59 living in Gunpo city. Major findings can be summarized as follows. First, we find that participants are well aware of the need for old age planning, and that the majority of them think aey are responsible for their old age security. Nevertheless they are not preparing for later life very much. Second, they are doing their best planking for their later lives in the area of social activities. The degree of participants' preparation varies depending on their age and socioeconomic factors. Finally, participants who strongly recognize their parents' role are also more likely to plan for the future. These results suggest that the educational programs and systems for pre-instruction about various plans for old age be developed for even younger people.

Age specific characteristics in Korean diet and their changes were analyzed with the demand model including the number of family members by age group as independent vasiables Urban household budget data, 773 household data in 1977 and 947 household data in 1983, was applied to the demand model. A series of F-test was carried out to set up the age groups by food item. The main results can be summarized as follows; 1. Food consumption patterns are remarkably different between 0-13 years old age generation and over 40 years old generation. The 0-13 years old generation reveals higher preference for milk, wheat product, fruit and milk and lower preference for rice and vegetable than any other age generation. This characteristics of the childhood diet has been formed In the generation born after 1970's and thus will be reserved as their generational characteristics. On the other hand, over 40 years old age group prefers rice and fish to fruit, milk and wheat product. Therefore we can conclude that over 40 years old age group maintains the traditional Korean diet pattern. 2. The preference for fish is low. in 20-30 years old age group than in any other age group and wheat product is Preferred highest in 6-13 years old age group of all age groups. Meanwhile the most remarkable change In food consumption pattern is shown in meats and vegetables. Namely in 30 40 years old age group the preference for meat has increased substantially and that vegetable has decreased to a great extent. 3. The declining per capita consumption of rice spreads like a wave to higher age. groups, but over 40 years old age group bas played an important role in reducing the decreasing rate of rice consumption. In order to restrain the declining rice consumption a special integrated food policy is required to induce rice consumption in less 30 years old generation.
