“…이러한 노인의 삶의 질과 관련이 있는 스트레 스와 우울은 노인의 자살생각을 유도하는 요인이 되기도 한다 [8]. 특히 가족과 함께 사는 노인보다 가족과 동거하지 않는 독 거노인의 경우에는 우울점수가 더 높은 것으로 알려져 있고 [9,10], 이러한 독거노인의 우울은 경제적인 부담과 삶에 대한 걱정들과도 관련이 있고, 식욕감퇴와 자살생각과도 이어지기 때문에 사회적인 지지체계를 통해 노인의 우울을 감소시켜 주 려는 노력이 중요하다 [11].…”

Purpose:The purpose of this research is to identify factors affecting suicidal ideation of the low-income elderly. Methods:The study subjects were lowest-income(basic living allowance) and lower-income elders who were registered for home visiting services at five District Health Centers in Seoul. Interview data were collected from 280 elders and analyzed. Using SPSS/WIN 21, x 2 -test and t-test were conducted to analyze the relationship between the subjects' characteristics and their suicidal ideation, and logistic regression was done to identify factors affecting suicidal ideation. Results: Of the subjects, 48.6% had suicidal ideation for the last one year. Self-evaluated psychological status, quality of sleep, depression, and loneliness were affecting factors to the subjects' suicidal ideation. Conclusion: Psychological and social factors are strongly related to the suicidal ideation of the elderly who are living alone in metropolitan areas. Therefore, home visiting services should supply physical, psychological and social cares continuously to the low-income elderly, especially those who live alone in metropolitan areas.

“…This finding may also be related to the fact that when some elderly men move in with extended family when they retire, they experience a loss of their previous role and reduced self-efficacy; this is mainly due to a disconnection from past networks and inexperience with retired life, and this can ultimately lead to deteriorated quality of life (Lee and Choi, 2014). In particular, depression in elderly men was found to have an odds ratio of 5.9; thus, depression should be addressed in men in particular in order to prevent the development of suicidal impulses (Koo et al, 2014).…”

The purpose of this study is to identify latent classes involving the health behaviors of patients with metabolic syndrome and to examine the effects of demographic characteristics and health-related lifestyles on their quality of life. The data was sourced from the database of the 2013 Korea health panel survey. Health behavior variables (smoking, drinking, body mass index, and physical activities) were dichotomously recategorized for latent class analysis. Two latent classes of metabolic syndrome, named 'low physical actor' and 'low physical actor with smoking and alcohol' were identified. Both latent classes showed statistically significant differences in demographic characteristics and EQ-5D index. Additionally, there were differences in the factors affecting quality of life between latent classes. This study's findings suggest that a tailored intervention based on features of the latent classes is required to improve the lifestyle and quality of life of metabolic syndrome patients.
