- Purpose
This study aimed to identify factors associated with fear of falling(FOF) by fall experience in the community-dwelling elderly. Methods: Multivariate logistic regression with complex samples was used to analyze the data of 74,475 elders aged 65 and over from the Community Health Survey in 2019. Results: Factors associated with FOF included gender, age, education level, smoking, high-risk drinking, physical activity, stress, depression, cognitive impairment, subjective health status, hypertension, and diabetes mellitus in the non-fall group. In the single fall group, the associated factors were gender, age, physical activity, stress, depression, cognitive impairment, and subjective health status. Related factors in the recurrent fall group included gender, age, physical activity, cognitive impairment, and subjective health status. Conclusion: The study’s findings suggest that it is necessary to develop different strategies to prevent FOF by understanding the contributing factors of FOF in each group of fall experience.

- Purpose
The purpose of the present study is to examine the factors influencing intention of dementia prevention behavior in adults with hypertension or diabetes.
Methods
A total of 113 community-dwelling adults with hypertension or diabetes agreed to participate in this study. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, correlation, and multiple regression.
Results
Self-efficacy and cues to action toward dementia prevention behavior were factors influencing intention of dementia prevention behavior of participations. Self-efficacy toward dementia prevention behavior was the most influential factor. These factors accounted for 22% of intention of dementia prevention behavior.
Conclusion
These results suggest a need for strengthening self-efficacy to increase intention of dementia preventive behaviors. And dementia prevention programs should be developed in consideration of strategies to reinforce cues to action.

Abstract

- PURPOSE
This study was conducted to investigate the combined effects of abdominal obesity and alcohol drinking on the risk of hypertension in Korean adults (aged ≥30 yrs).
METHODS
Data of 13,885 subjects from the sixth Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were analyzed. The multiple logistic regression tests were used for the analysis, including potential covariates of the model.
RESULTS
Frequency of drinking, typical drinking quantity, and frequency of binge drinking had a positive relation to hypertension. The odds ratio of hypertension for risk drinkers with abdominal obesity was 4.81 compared to non-risk drinkers with normal waist circumstance, whereas the odds ratios of hypertension for risk drinkers with normal waist circumstance and non-risk drinkers with abdominal obesity were 1.58 and 2.37 respectively.
CONCLUSION
Both abdominal obesity and alcohol drinking patterns were strong risk factors of hypertension in the Korean adults. Risk drinkers with abdominal obesity showed a marked high risk in hypertension compared to those with a single condition alone.
