Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between health-related physical fitness factors and cognitive function and isolation on 308 elderly over 65 years old in Seoul and Gyeonggi do. The measuring instrument were as follows demographic characteristics(age, education level, drink, spouse, participation on in exercise) and health-related physical fitness(grip strength, leg strength, flexibility, balance), cognitive function (MMSE-K, digit span test) and emotional/social aspects of loneliness and isolation was measured. As a results, first, depending on the degree of demographic characteristics of elderly had significant difference. Second, health-related physical fitness and cognitive function are positive correlated, negative correlation between cognitive function and isolation. Third, health-related physical fitness of the elderly had a significant effect on cognitive function. Fourth, health-related fitness of the elderly had a significant effect on isolation. Fifth, the cognitive function of the elderly had a significant effect on isolation. In conclusion, this study will provide basic data for future aged man welfare studies and contribute to extended studies.

본 연구는 서울 경기 소재 65세 이상 노인 308명을 대상으로 건강관련체력요인과 인지기능 및 고립감의 관계를 분석하였다. 측정도구는 사회인구학적특성(연령, 학력, 음주유무, 배우자유무, 운동참여유무)과 건강관련체력(상지근력, 하지근력, 유연성, 평형성), 인지기능(한국판 간이정신상태검사, 숫자외우기검사) 그리고 고립감(사회적 정서적 고립척도)로 측정하였다. 연구결과는 첫째, 노인의 사회인구학적특성에 따라 건강관련체력, 인지기능, 고립감에는 통계적 유의한 차이가 나타났다. 둘째, 노인의 건강관련체력, 인지기능에는 정적상관관계, 건강관련체력, 인지기능과 고립감에는 부적상관관계가 통계적으로 유의하게 나타났다. 셋째, 노인의 건강관련체력은 인지기능에 통계적 유의한 영향력을 나타내었다. 넷째, 노인의 건강관련체력은 고립감에 통계적으로 유의한 영향력을 나타내었다. 다섯째, 노인의 인지기능은 고립감에 통계적으로 유의한 영향력을 나타내었다. 결론적으로 본 연구는 미래 노인복지 연구를 위한 기초자료를 제공하여 확장 된 연구에 기여할 수 있을 것이다.
