Purpose
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the nutritional status of low-income urban elders by diversified ways, and to analyze the risk factors for malnutrition.
Methods
The participants in this study were 183 low-income elders registered at a visiting healthcare facility in a public health center. Data were collected using anthropometric measurements, and a questionnaire survey. For data analysis, descriptive statistics, χ2-test, t-test, Fisher's exact test, multiple logistic regression analysis were performed using SPSS 20.0.
Results
Regarding the nutritional status of low-income elders as measured by the Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA), 10.4% of the elders were classified as malnourished; 57.4% as at high risk for malnutrition; and 32.2% as having normal nutrition levels. The main factors affecting malnutrition for low-income elders were loss of appetite (OR=3.34, 95% CI: 1.16~9.56) and difficulties in meal preparation (OR=2.35, 95% CI: 1.13~4.88).
Conclusion
In order to effectively improve nutrition in low-income urban elders, it is necessary to develop individual intervention strategies to manage factors that increase the risk of malnutrition and to use systematic approach strategies in local communities in terms of a nutrition support system.

Purpose
The purpose of this study was to measure the level of stress and symptoms of stress (SOS) in soldiers and to investigate the factors that have effects on the symptoms of stress.
Methods
Data was collected from soldiers of two military units located in north Kyounggi-Do from August 2 to 9, 2006 by using the survey instruments.
Results
This research found that the average values on the level of stress and symptoms of stress were about 2.53±0.60 (range 1.00-4.35) and 0.95±0.55 (range 0.04-2.83), respectively. The things which affected symptoms of stress, according to this study, were the external factors in the military (β=.28, p<.001), role and relation factors (β=.21, p<.001), work factors (β=.15, p=.01) and passive coping styles (β=.19, p<.001). These variables explained 28% (F=36.68, p<.001) of the variance of the total symptoms of stress.
Conclusion
This study suggests that soldiers need to under go stress management.
