This work aims at analyzing the comparative feature about female flight attendant uniform designs of Korean and Asian region low cost carriers and providing some basic materials for development of these airline companies. As a research method, examinations were carried out on attendant's uniform both theoretically and empirically. Comparison of uniforms was made among the five Korean carriers and ten typical Asian carriers for empirical research. Results showed the followings. First, all Korean low cost carriers were characterized as formal style except Jin Air. Unlike this, Asian low cost carriers appeared as diverse including formal, semi formal, and casual styles with a uniquely differentiated image. Second, all carriers applied their own symbolic color to their uniform. Third, logo or symbol was adopted as a pattern on scarf in the two Korean companies but it didn't take effect practically. For those Asian carriers, embroidery was used on jacket, jumper and collar. They utilized even a merchandising character to put emphasis on airline image. Fourth, diverse petty items with a decorative effect were used in the case of Korean low cost carriers. In the changing period of uniform, nothing much was changed and remained almost the same as before. Those in the Asian region were characterized with the smallest number of items and the preclusion of decorative add-ons on uniform.

This study was conducted using a self boarding questionnaire survey to investigate body image perception, dietary habits and nutrient intakes according to interest level in health of female university students in Masan area (n=302). The subjects were divided into 2 groups according to interest level in health (‘High’ group, n=101, ‘Low’ group, n=201). Body image according to BMI was significantly different regardless of interest level in health (p<0.001). The answer percentage indicated that the purpose of weight control is health, regular use of the scale, and regular exercise were significantly higher in the high group (p<0.05). Nutrient knowledge score (p<0.01) and food frequency score (p<0.001) were significantly higher in the high group (p<0.01). There were no significant differences in nutrient intake, but intake, NAR and INQ of vitamin C were significantly higher in the high group (p<0.001). Nutrition knowledge score (p<0.01), food intake frequency score (p<0.01), and INQ and NAR of vitamin C (p<0.01) were positively correlated with the interest level in health. These results will be useful as a basis for the development of effective nutrition education programs in order to increase interest level in health and apply well in real life what have learned through the correct nutrition knowledge.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the use of fad dieting as a method to lose weight among male and female college students. A total of 710 students participated in this study. Fad dieting was surveyed using a questionnaire about 11 fad diet methods. The mean age of the subjects was 21.4 years for males and 20.4 years for females. The proportion of students who had experience trying to lose weight was 52.8% for males and 78.6% for females (p<0.001). The diet method employed by the highest number of participants was the half meal diet (27.6% for males, 43.9% for females), followed by the cereal diet (8.8% for males, 43.9% for females), fasting (9.9% for males, 21.4% for females), and the chicken breast diet (13.1% for males, 9.2% for females). The female students were more likely than the males to try fad diets other than the chicken breast diet and the Atkins diet. The most frequent side effect of fad dieting was the yo-yo effect, followed by binge eating, weakness, anemia, and so on. The proportion of students who indicated that nutrition education is needed for healthy dieting was 39.1% for males and 45.4% for females. From these results, we concluded that a high percentage of college students attempt to lose weight through fad diets, with some gender differences. Therefore, in the future, nutrition education programs should focus more attention on providing healthy dieting methods to young college students to help them lose weight.

Park, Eun-Ha. 2015. “Social Discrimination Factors in Korean Coursebooks: Focused on Korean Coursebooks for Female Marriage Immigrants, Immigrant Workers, and North Korean Refugees”. The Sociolinguistic Journal of Korea 23(1). 55~83. This study investigates and analyzes social discrimination factors occurring in Korean coursebooks that disfavor immigrant workers, female marriage immigrants, and North Korean refugees as minorities in Korea. Therefore we examine what kind of social discrimination factors high placed and how these are presented in both verbal and nonverbal expressions. With regard to verbal forms, we examine discriminatory expressions in sentences and conversations including vocabularies commonly used in Korean coursebooks. The result prove that of all other forms of social discrimination found in Korean coursebooks, instances of gender role stereotypes occur most frequently. The second most frequently verbal discriminatory expression found referred to gender personality and behavior, while the third most frequently used discriminatory expression referred to physical appearance and body image. Also revealed in the study was a high recurrence of referencing gender role stereotypes in Korean coursebooks for female marriage immigrants as found through comparing two particular coursebooks. Concerning nonverbal forms, we examine discriminatory expressions in main characters and illustrations. In three types of Korean coursebooks, we observe a high recurrence of gender-biases when discussing job positions. For examples, one coursebook referred to restaurant work as suited for women, while describing the position of doctor as male job. Korean coursebooks for immigrants further reveal discrimination in their descriptions of socioeconomic status as determining so-called higher citizenship status. In illustrations, gender-biases of job and gender role stereotypes were presented more frequently in three kinds of Korean coursebooks than in the other kinds.

Internal sperm storage after mating is important for insect reproduction, because it permits delayed fertilisation, and post-copulatory mate choice in polyandrous females. The polyandry is common in many animal taxa including insects, because it increases female fitness by reducing the risk of infertility and providing opportunities for sperm competition and choice. The reproductive success of males, on the other hand, often depends upon avoidance of sperm competition by preventing mated females from copulating and receiving sperm from other male suitors. A widespread strategy used by males is the use of the male seminal fluid proteins (SFPs) that form the mating plug and alter female behaviors, for example by suppressing mating receptivity and elevating egg-laying. Under these circumstances, females are expected to evolve mechanism(s) to control exposure to the male SFPs in order to maximize fitness by balancing the positive and negative impacts of polyandry. Here, we discover that Drosophila melanogaster females eject male ejaculates 1-6 h after mating with a stereotypic behaviour, and that this is regulated by a brain neuropeptide pathway composed of diuretic hormone 44 (Dh44), and its receptor Dh44R1. We showed that suppressing Dh44 or Dh44R1 signals in the brain expedites sperm ejection, whereas enhancing Dh44 or Dh44R1 signals delays sperm ejection. This study uncovers a molecular mechanism by which females can influence sperm competition and selection, and counter actively the negative impact of polyandry.

조직공정성의 인식이 중요하게 대두되면서 다양한 조직을 대상으로 한 연구가 많이 있었지만 상대적으로 여성교정공무원을 대상으로 한 연구는 거의 전무한 실정이다. 윤옥경(2006), 김응분(2010), 최은하(2013) 등 연구에 따르면 여성교도관은 남성교도관보다 조직 내 제한된 범위내에서 근무하고 있다는 주장에 따라 여성교정공무원에 초점을 둔 것이다. 이러한 문제의식을 가지고 이 연구에서는 여성교정공무원에 초점을 두었으며 실제 여성교정공무원이 생각하는 조직 내 공정성을 파악하고, 조직 내 공정성(절차공정성, 분배공정성)이 직무만족 및 조직몰입에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 알아보고자 했다. 조사기간은 2013년 6월 9일부터 28일까지 총 150부의 설문지를 배포하여 그 중 유효한 설문지 107부를 분석대상에 이용하였다. 자료 분석을 통해서 본 연구의 결과를 정리하면 다음과 같다. 조직공정성의 하위요소인 분배공정성, 절차공정성 모두 조직몰입과 직무만족에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 상대적으로 분배공정성의 영향력이 더 큰 것으로 분석되었다. 결론적으로 여성교정공무원들은 직무에 대한 만족과 조직몰입을 위해서는 조직 내의 공정한 절차보다는 결과 측면의 보상과 관련된 분배공정성에 더 민감하게 반응하고 있다는 것을 의미한다. 이에 본 연구의 결과는 여성교정공무원의 조직몰입도를 높이기 위해서는 보상, 근무환경, 직무와 관련된 승진 등의 내재적 만족도를 높이는 등 인적자원관리방안이 마련되어야 함을 시사하고 있다.

In this study, it is explored the effect of fashion therapy on depression, positive emotion, negative emotion, appearance interest, body satisfaction, self-esteem, and self-efficacy of female patients. Eight cancer patients and 12 general patients participated in the 4-week fashion therapy program. When comparing results before and after the fashion therapy, depression and negative emotions were significantly decreased while positive emotions and self-efficacy were significantly increased. There was no significant influence on appearance interest, body satisfaction, self-esteem, and self-efficacy. In group comparison, significant changes were observed in depression, positive emotion and negative emotion regardless of groups. However, cancer patients indicated a significant improvement in self-efficacy compared to general patients who did not whereas patients with a high level of depression showed a significant enhancement on body satisfaction compared to patients with a low level of depression. Also, patients with a low level of pain indicated a significant improvement on self-esteem and self-efficacy compared to patients with a high level of pain. Perceived effect and satisfaction of the fashion therapy were relatively high. Study results may positively contribute to building a knowledge and experimental base of fashion therapy that is widely applicable to diverse parties for the future.

This study aimed to compare the characteristics of breast cancer surgery and shoulder surgery patients on the shoulder range of motion (ROM), degree of pain and dysfunction, and scapular position. This study was carried out with a total of 90 women: a breast cancer surgery group (BS, n1=30), a shoulder surgery group (SS, n2=30) and a control group (n3=30). Shoulder ROM, the Quadruple Visual Analogue Scale (QVAS), the Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI), and the Scapular Index (SI) were used to assess shoulder function. Statistical analyses were performed using a one-way analysis of variance, crosstab test, and independent sample t-test. Post-hoc testing was carried out with Bonferroni test. There were significant differences in shoulder ROM when the BS and the SS were compared with the control group. However, there was no significant difference in ROM between the BS and SS. Furthermore, there was a significant difference in shoulder pain between both surgery groups, and there was greater shoulder dysfunction in the SS than in the BS. There was also a significant difference in upper extremity posture when the BS and the SS were compared to the control group. Finally, there was no significant difference in upper extremity posture between the BS and the SS. This study compared shoulder ROM, pain, dysfunction, and upper extremity postures between the BS and SS. While there were no significant differences in shoulder ROM, pain, and upper extremity posture between both surgery groups, the level of dysfunction was found to be significantly different. Therefore, health professionals managing for breast cancer surgery or shoulder surgery patients should consider these outcomes.

The purposes of this study were to investigate the eating of breakfast by female middle school students in Seoul, the perception of the school breakfast program (SBP), and determine the factors affecting the intention to participate in SBP. Out of 340 questionnaires distributed to the female middle school students, 334 were returned (98.2% response rate) and 323 were analyzed. The subjects were categorized into two groups by the intention to participate in SBP. Subjects were classified as participating and non participating groups. As a result of analyzing the breakfast intake frequency, 'hardly eat' showed the highest with 18.5% in the participating group and 10.3% in non participating group, while 'eat every day' showed 38.2% in the participating group, and the highest with 65.5% in non participating group (p<0.001). For the reason for skipping breakfast, 'no time' showed the highest with 30.0% in the participating group, 'over sleep' and 'no appetite' showed the highest with 24.8% in non participating group. For the reason for not participating in SBP, 'breakfast should be eaten at home' showed the highest with 47.2% in non participating group and 'may get up early in the morning' showed the highest with 46.2% in participating group (p<0.01). To determine the factors affecting the intention to participate in SBP, logistic regression analyses were conducted for female middle school students. According to the logistic regression analysis, father's education level was independently associated with the intention to participate in SBP in female middle school students [Odds Ratios (OR) 2.38, 95% Confidence Interval (CI) 1.03~5.52]. Frequency of eating breakfast on weekdays (OR 1.36, 95% CI 1.01~1.81), Level of need for school breakfast (OR 0.52, 95% CI 0.35~0.76) and whether to approve school breakfast (OR 0.27, 95% CI 0.18~0.41) were independently associated with the intention to participate in SBP in female middle school students. In conclusion, proper educational efforts for importance of school breakfast could be useful plan to develop school breakfast program.

본 연구는 2008년 2월부터 2013년 12월까지 월악산국립공원에 도입 방사된 암컷 산양 4개체의 행동 특성을 연구하기 위하여 연간 행동권, 계절별 행동권, 고도별 이용 특징을 연구하였다. 도입 방사된 암컷 산양의 연간 행동권은 MCP 95% 1.13±0.32km2, FK 95% 0.37±0.18km2, FK 50% 0.07±0.03km2로 분석 되었고(t=0.607, p>0.05), 계절별 행동권 및 고도 이용특성은 MCP 95%에서 여름(0.77±0.06km2), 가을(0.73±0.26km2)로 행동권이 크며, 봄(0.58±0.38km2), 겨울(0.47±0.25km2)에 행동권이 감소하여 여름과 겨울 행동권의 차이를 보였고(F=3.868, P<0.05), 계절별 고도 이용 특성은 봄 435m(28.4%), 여름 464m(26.7%), 가을 414m(28.8%), 겨울 393m(21.2%)로 여름에 높은 고도로 이동하며 겨울철 고도가 낮은 지역을 이용하는 것으로 분석 되었다(F=0.783, P>0.05). 본 연구에서 도입 방사된 암컷 산양 개체만 연구되어 전체적인 행동특성이라고 단정 할 수 없지만, 행동권, 계절별 행동권, 고도 분석 등으로 서식지 이용특성에서 유의미한 차이가 있는 것으로 분석 되었다.

The purpose of this study is to understand the relationship between female college students’ stress level and premenstrual syndrome so that it can provide baseline data on how to cope with the syndrome. The study subjects are 250 female college students in Gyungbook area. This study chose 199 appropriate subjects and collected data. As per general menstrual phases, this study investigated the age when one had her first period, regularity and duration of period, and amount of bleeding. It used a measurement tool to measure stress level and premenstrual syndrome. Most of the subjects experienced their first period before the age of 13. The menstrual period was irregular with the duration of less than 7 days. 123 subjects had normal amount of bleeding. 121 subjects were experiencing high level of stress over 2.4. The correlation between the level of stress and premenstrual syndrome factors showed significant static correlation for each factor. Especially, the correlation between digestive system and response of autonomic nervous system was .996 and negative emotion and behavioral change was .635, and negative emotion and pain was .614 which were relatively high. The regression analysis of factors of premenstrual syndrome depending on the subjects’ stress level indicated that response of autonomic nervous system had the biggest effect in the low stress group while behavioral change, negative emotion, pain, decreased concentration, water congestion, response of autonomic nervous system, and skin change had the biggest effect in the high stress group with statistical significance. Based on the result, it can be said that higher premenstrual stress is closely related to the premenstrual syndrome one experiences for some female college students.

Female gamers are generally increasing all over the world. Accordingly, e-sports field also intensively focuses on female gamers. This paper focuses on the process of identity formation of female gamers shown in Korean e-sports leagues especially on online games. Online game is delivered to the public by e-sports broadcasting. E-sports broadcasting is spoken of a one-way speech, which only has the voice of male castor. This paper classified the way of speaking of female gamers into two types. One is broadcasting method and the other is broadcasting language. Then this paper compared the discourses shown in them to the cases of male gamers. In the case of male gamers, inherent elements of the game primarily took the major part of the discourse. However, in the case of female gamers, socially acceptable speech about women primarily took the major part of the discourse. As the result, in e-sports online broadcasting, the male gamers are viewed in terms of ‘player’ while female gamers are viewed in terms of ‘person’. Considering online games as having alternative values and possibilities as new media, the aspect of distortion or alienation of women in game culture is obviously problematic.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate dietary habit and nutritional status by household income in female adults, using data from the 4th Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2007~2009). Subjects were 8,356 women over the age of 20 years. The subjects were classified into 4 groups by household income level. Dietary data from 24 hr recall methods were used to analyze nutritional status. The obesity rate of the low income group was significantly higher than the rates of other income groups. Additionally, the nutritional status of the low income group was worse than those of other groups. The percentage of carbohydrate in total energy intake was higher and food security status was lower in the low income group than in other groups. Awareness and adherence to dietary guidelines were also lower in the low income group. Adherence to a dietary guideline of ‘avoiding salty foods and trying to eat foods with bland taste’ and ‘eating a variety of foods from each food group’ were lower than those of other groups. However, the frequency of skipping breakfast among the low income group was lower than that of others. Therefore, this study suggested that low income women should decrease the percentage of carbohydrate in total energy intake and adhere to dietary guidelines, especially those of avoiding salty foods and eating a variety of food groups, in order to improve their nutritional status.

Intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia (IPEH) is a rare benign vascular lesion that rarely occurs in the oral cavity. Its clinical features are similar to neoplasms, which are easily identified in the oral cavity, and it can be misdiagnosed as an angiosarcoma. Therefore, it is important to recognize the characteristics of the lesion in order to both diagnose and treat it properly. We report a case of IPEH in a young Korean female patient, as well as discuss its differential diagnosis and treatment using a review of the related literature.

This study aimed to investigate the perception, consumption, and acceptability of convenience mealsin low-income female elderly attending a lunch program at a community well fare center. Using in-depth interviews, qualitative data were collected 11 elderly females (62.5±11.2y) living in Seoul. Participants tried to eat various foods in small-portionsat home, although they ate out what they were offered. Elderly females preferred lunch box-type meals containing a bowl of rice served with toppings, gruel, or Bibimbop due to the growing unavailability of cooking or preparing a meal. Side-dish type convenience mealswere also preferred among elderly females since boiled rice can be easily prepared according to individual preferences. In addition, participants preferred healthy foods. Convenience meal planning and production, appropriate kinds of foods, cooking methods, menus, and packaging should be selected based on the elderly's functional atrophy in chewing, swallowing,digestion, and metabolic diseases. Furthermore, food preferences and comfort foods among the elderlyneed to be identified and characterized. Therefore, more information, including bite size, cutting size, and food texture, should be provided to understand and develop convenience meals for the elderly.

Apolygus spinolae (Meyer-Dür) (Heteroptera: Miridae) is an important pest of fruit and tea trees in Korea and Japan. Analyses of extracts of metathoracic scent glands revealed that those of female bugs contained hexyl butyrate, (E)-2-hexenyl butyrate, and (E)-4-oxo-2-hexenal in a ratio of 20:100:7. The glands of males contained the same three compounds, but the ratio of the components was quite different, with hexyl butyrate being the most abundant. Field trapping tests with various blends of the synthetic compounds dispensed from high-density polyethylene tubes showed that (E)-2-hexenyl butyrate and (E)-4-oxo-2-hexenal were essential for attraction of male A. spinolae, and catches with a wide range of ratios of these two compounds did not differ significantly. However, adding hexyl butyrate at 50% or more of the (E)-2-hexenyl butyrate to the binary blend strongly inhibited attraction of males. Trap catches increased with increasing amounts of a 10:1 blend of (E)-2-hexenyl butyrate and (E)-4-oxo-2-hexenal from 0.011 to 11 mg loaded into the tube. Catches of males in traps baited with lures containing 1.1 mg of the binary blend were not significantly different from catches in traps baited with live virgin females.

Recently, because of the development for online and mobile technology, the participation of female gamer has increased steadily. However, despite games for female are emerged and female gamer are increased, studying for considering the difference between gender is very rare. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to identify characteristics related to female's game play. And it is contribute to establish effective strategy for attracting female gamer. Based on the literatures about involvement for the game, this study also investigates characteristics which influence the involvement of game. The results can be summarized as follow. First, the characteristics of operational ease is not affecting involvement of game to both male and female gamers. Second, the game's characters and graphics, customized characteristic, scenarios, and social interaction are influenced the involvement of game to both male and female gamers. Third, while in female gamers, the game's characters and graphics customizing, social interaction are influenced to involvement in order, in male gamers, social interaction, characters and graphic, customizing are affected to involvement.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the physical education avoidance factors and the types of them for seeking the efficient teaching methods of physical education and making an appropriate learning environment which result in vitalized physical education. For this purpose, this study is planned to gain specific evidences. From May to July in 2013, the research has been conducted in Gangseo, Yangcheon, and Mapo area of Seoul. Among 420 of female middle school students who are the subjects originally, 349 of students are used as a data of spss 12.0 statistics. The conclusion is deducted by one-way ANOVA, corelation analysis, and multiple regression analysis based on the analysis contents and purpose. the conclusions were as follows; Firstly, as examining the avoidance factors of female middle school students from the background variables, the second grade students of middle school recognize the avoidance factors highest among sub factors based on the grades. In respect of the avoidance factors based on the school form, female students of coeducation school perceive the avoidance factors more than ones of girls' middle school. While female middle school students taught by male teachers are more aware of students factors, course contents factors, and weather factors, the students who are taught by female teachers recognize facility-instrument factors, teacher-teaching factors highly. In the avoidance factor based on whether a school has gym or not, middle school female students without gym perceive course content factors, teaching factors, and weather factors highly. On the other hand, middle school female students who do not have gym recognize student factors more than others. Secondly, in the case of avoidance types of middle school female students, second graders mark the highest states on not only the active avoidance but the passive one. While first graders are higher than third graders on the active avoidance, third graders appear highly on the passive avoidance compared to first graders. According to the types of school, middle female students in coeducation school avoid more on both active and passive avoidance. Based on the gender difference of the teachers, middle school female students who are taught by male instructors show the higher passive avoidance than ones taught by female instructors. Inversely the latter show higher avoidance on the active avoidance. Middle school female students who don’t utilize a physical training facility turn out having high tendency on both the active and passive avoidance. Thirdly the meaningful positive relationship between the physical education avoidance and the avoidance types exists. In the case of the active avoidance of physical education, students are influenced by teaching and weather factors meaningfully. Students factors, course content factors, and weather factors have meaningful influence on the passive avoidance.

Also their avoidance types of physical education vary depending on the background variables. The avoidance factors of physical education have effects on the types of the avoidance.

베이비붐 세대는 현재와 미래에 영향력 있는 주 소비계층 으로 기존 노인세대와는 차별화된 식행동을 보이고, 다양한 라이프스타일로 새로운 시장을 형성할 것으로 예측되는 바, 본 연구에서는 예비노년층인 50대 베이비부머 세대 여성들 을 대상으로 현재의 건강과 생활습관, 식습관 상태, 그리고 식생활 행동 양식 및 미래 식생활 요구도를 조사, 분석하였 다. 본 연구결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 조사 대상자의 평균 연령은 52.6±2.3세이었고, 대부분 고 졸 학력(63.1%)에 핵가족 형태(76.1%)를 이루고 있었으며, 58.8% 가 아파트에 거주하고 있었다. 전업주부는 39.0%이었고, 29.7% 가 종일제 직장을 갖고 있었으며, 한 달 수입은 200만 원 미 만이라고 응답한 사람들이 44.3%로 가장 많았다. 현재의 삶 에 대해 8.1%만이 불만족하다고 응답하였고, 스트레스 정도는 75.6%가 약간만 느낀다고 하여 스트레스가 매우 심하거나(11.5%), 거의 없다(12.9%)는 비율보다 훨씬 많았다. 2. 조사 대상자들의 BMI는 59.0%가 정상군이었으나, 38.2% 가 체중 과다 및 비만으로 평가되었다. 현재 응답자의 2.8% 만이 흡연을 하고 있었고, 비음주자가 63.0%로서 음주 및 흡 연률은 높지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 과반수에 가까운 42.9%의 응답자는 규칙적인 운동을 하고 있지 않다고 하였 고, 정기적으로 건강검진을 받고 있다고 응답한 사람은 78.0% 이었다. 3. 식생활 습관을 평가한 결과, 100점 기준 본 조사 대상자 의 평균 점수는 70.6±11.8점으로 ‘보통’군에 속하였다. 식습 관 점수는 교육 수준(p<0.01), 소득 수준(p<0.01), 가족 형태 (p<0.05), 삶의 만족도(p<0.001), 스트레스 정도(p<0.001)에 따 라 유의적인 차이를 보였다. 또한 건강 및 생활습관 요인 중 흡연(p<0.05)과 음주(p<0.05), 규칙적 운동 실시 여부(p<0.001), 정기적인 건강검진 유무(p<0.05), 수면시간(p<0.05)과 관계가 있어 건강한 생활습관을 가진 사람들의 경우, 식습관 점수가 유의적으로 더 높았다. 4. 하루 3끼 결식률은 아침, 점심, 저녁식사 각각 18.2%, 1.1%, 5.2%이었다. 외식 빈도는 월 1~3회(32.4%)와 주 1~2회 (28.5%)라는 응답이 많았다. 식재료 구매 횟수는 55.7%가 1주 에 1~2회 정도라고 하였으며, 주로 구매하는 물품은 채소와 과일, 육류와 같은 식재료로서(79.6%), 응답자의 84.0%가 직 접 집에서 반찬을 만들고 있었다. 가정 내에서 식사를 준비하 는 사람은 주부 본인인 경우가 91.3%로 가장 많았고, 평균 식 사 준비시간은 1시간 내외이었다. 5. 미래 식생활 요구 형태를 조사하였던 바, 나이가 들면서 가장 어려울 것으로 예상되는 가사일인 식사 준비(49.4%)가 문제가 되는 이유는, 조리하기가 점점 귀찮아지기 때문(55.2%) 이었으며, 향후 노인이 되었을 때는 46.4%만이 본인들이 직 접 조리하여 먹겠다고 하였다. 실버타운을 포함한 노인복지 시설에서의 급식에 대하여 영양사가 계획한 건강한 음식이 고(40.7%), 식사 준비에서 해방될 수 있을 것이라는(36.3%) 긍 정적인 반응이 있던 반면, 시설급식을 원하지 않는 이유는 노 인복지시설에서 살고 싶지 않거나(48.8%), 시설급식이 맛이 없을 것이라는 선입견도 31.3%나 되었다. 국이나 반찬 배달 전문업체에 대한 인지도 조사 결과, 조사 대상자의 60.1%는 이미 알고 있었고, 응답자의 39.9%가 향후 이러한 배달식업 체로부터 국이나 반찬을 정기적으로 배달하여 먹을 의향이 있다고 하였으며, 학력이 높을수록 배달식을 이용하겠다는 경향이 높았다(p<0.05). 배달식업체를 이용할 경우, 국과 반찬 모두 구입하겠다는 응답자는 33.3%이었고, 가능한 지출금액 은 38.9%가 10~15만 원을, 26.8%는 5~10만 원이라고 응답하 였다. 배달식을 이용할 경우 고려하는 사항으로는 위생(43.7%), 영양(28.7%), 맛(18.4%), 가격(6.3%), 회사의 인지도(2.9%) 순 으로 나타났다. 이상의 결과들을 종합해볼 때 베이비붐 세대는 경제발전 과 건강 및 교육 수준의 향상, 그리고 이에 따른 사회․문화 적 욕구의 상승 등으로 인해 식생활 형태에서 기존의 노령 세대와는 다름을 알 수 있었다. 일례로 본 연구에서 지적되었 듯이 많은 응답자가 식사 준비를 귀찮아하고 있음에 따라 외 식을 하거나, 편이식품을 구입하여 집에서 간단히 조리해 먹 겠다는 경향을 보이고 있다. 가족관계 및 사회경제적인 다양 한 요인들로 인해 가정 내 식생활 패턴이 변화되고 있는 것이 다. 이러한 라이프스타일의 변화에 맞추어 가정에서 짧은 시 간에 간편하게 조리할 수 있는 가공식품이나 반찬 전문 서비 스 사업, 조리에 대한 부담과 시간을 덜어주는 배달 메뉴의 이용은 앞으로 새로운 트렌드를 형성해 나갈 것으로 전망된 다. 현재 노년 여성과 현 중년 여성의 이러한 여러 상황의 차 이를 고려하고, 베이비붐 세대의 식생활 가치 및 식생활 행동 에 초점을 맞추어, 고령화시대에 중요한 위치에 있지만 상대 적으로 연구가 이루어지지 않은 이들 세대에 대한 적절한 식 생활 모델의 개발이 이루어져야 한다고 사료된다.
