본 연구는 고령사회로의 변화를 피할 수 없는 상황에서 고령자 집단의 특성에 따른 고령친화제품의 개발방향의 모색에 목적을 두었다. 연구목적의 달성을 위해 우선 고령자를 위한 디자인 개념, 고령친화산업의 현황에 대한 문헌조사를 실시했다. 다음으로 고령자 라이프스타일 세분화, 건강⋅신체기능에 대한 자기평가, 고령친화제품에 대한 태도 파악을 위한 고령자 대상의 1:1 대면 설문조사를 실시했다. 고령자를 위한 디자인은 이상적 윤리성에 중점을 두는 보편적 디자인, 현실적 경제성에 중점을 두는 포용적 디자인을 모두 아우르는 통합적 접근을 통한 활성화가 필요하다. 우리나라의 고령친화산업은 정체상태로 고령자친화제품은 수요자인 고령자의 특성(라이프스타일과 건강상태)에 따른 제품의 다각화가 요청된다. 이에 고령자의 특성을 알아보기 위해 실시한 1:1 대면 설문조사의 결과는 다음과 같다. ‘변화적응과 유행 민감성’, ‘일에 대한 도전과 욕구’, ‘건강 및 자기관리’, ‘삶의 여유와 노후 만족’, ‘사회참여와 사교활동’의 라이프스타일의 5개 요인과 ‘활동적 노년 향유형", ‘실리적 생활밀착형’, ‘수동적 노년 향유형", ‘근로중심생활고형’의 4개 군집을 도출했다. 집단 간 특성비교를 위한 분산분석(AVONA)결과는 다음과 같다. 고령자 군집들은 신체기능정도, 고령친화제품에 대한 태도에서 군집유형에 따라 유의한 차이를 나타냈다. 분석결과에 따른 고령친화제품의 개발방향은 다음과 같다. ‘고령자용’이라는 구별짓기적 접근을 지양하고 2-3개 유형의 공통성에 따른 포괄적 시장접근이 필요하다. ‘활동적 노년 향유형’은 일상용품, 외부활동관련 제품, 최신 유행의 반영이, ‘실리적 생활밀착형’ 은 근로활동과 관련된 실용적 제품개발이 요청된다. ‘수동적 노년 향유형’은 ‘활동적 노년향유형’과 함께, ‘근로중심 생활고형’은 ‘실리적 생활밀착형’에서의 결과의 반영이 효과적이다. Entering to unavoidable aging society, this study aims at developing a strategy approaching to senior friendly products based on characteristics of senior segments. For the purpose, this study, first, executed literature review to understand senior friendly design concepts and the current situation of senior friendly industry. Then, it conducted 1:1 paper based survey with elderly persons over 65 years to analyze their lifestyle segments, health and body function levels, and attitude toward senior friendly products. As design approaches focusing on the elderly, there are universal design emphasizing on ideal ethical spirits and inclusive design pursuing practical feasibility. Concerning the difference, it seems to be required to integrate the both concepts. Considering that the Korean senior friendly industry remains sluggish, senior friendly products are needed to diversify product categories and segments by the life style and health conditions of the elderly as users. Hence, 1:1 paper based survey was conducted. Lifestyles of the seniors were classified in five dimensions: ‘acceptance of change and new trends’, ‘eagerness to get a job’, ‘satisfaction of the later life’, ‘health⋅self-management’, and ‘participation of social activities’. Through cluster analysis, lifestyles of the seniors were divided into four groups: ‘active life-enjoying seniors’, ‘practical middle class seniors’, ‘passive life-enjoying seniors’, and ‘insecure job-seeking seniors’. The findings, through ANOVA, were as follows; extents of comprehensive body functions and attitude to senior friendly products, between the groups, were statistically significant. On the basis of the results of this research, it can be concluded as follows; broad approaches to combine two or three senior groups is effective. For the ‘active life-enjoying seniors’ and the ‘practical middle class seniors’, it is needed to develop products related outdoor activities and trends, and practical jobs-related products respectively. For the ‘passive life-enjoying seniors’ and the ‘insecure job-seeking seniors’, it is efficient to follow the result from ‘active life-enjoying seniors’ and ‘practical middle class seniors’ respectively.

This study aimed to investigate methods for increasing protein intake among the elderly. Pork and beef samples were treated in saturated vapor ovens, and tenderizing agents, including sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3), phosphate complex and acetylated distarch adipate in a pineapple pulp solution were added. The results of the physicochemical analysis showed that the addition of increasing amounts of tenderizing agents increased the moisture content and pH values, whereas cooking loss and hardness decreased (P<0.05). A consumer acceptance survey was conducted on 100 participants (over 50 years or older). The results showed that the addition of higher amounts of tenderizing agents caused a decrease in hardness while overall liking scores increased (P<0.001). These results will help us comprehensively understand the preferences of consumers aged 50 years or older regarding softened meat products and their purchasing behaviors -with respect to senior-friendly products. Both the physicochemical analysis and the preference survey showed that the developed tenderizing agent solution softened the hardness of meat and improved its physicochemical properties. Additionally, PT and BT, which were the softest samples, met 2nd stages of standard hardness in the Korean industry. There have been earlier studies of elderly-friendly food products. However, the results of this study show that meat-based elderly-friendly products should be developed to increase the protein intake among the elderly. The results of this study can be utilized as basic data for the development of meat-based senior-friendly food products. 초고령사회를 대비하는 방안으로 섭취와 소화가 용이하도록 원재료의 식감을 부드럽게 가공하는 기술이 각광받고 있다. 고령친화식품 개발 시 식품의 질감을 개선하는 가공과정을 거친다면 고령자가 더 용이하게 단백질을 섭취할 수 있을 것이다. 분석 결과, 포화증기 기술과 효소함침법을 적용할 경우 최종적으로 생산된 고기의 수분함량과 pH값이 증가했으며 경도가 연화된 것으로 나타났다. 특히, 파인애플혼합염지액에 연화 소재를 첨가한 연화소재처리군 PT와 BT의 경우, 전반적인 기호도와 저작 및 연하력 평가항목에서 점수가 높게 나타났다. 연구 결과를 통해 연화 소재의 첨가가 육류의 경도를 연화시키는 데 효과적인 것을 확인할 수 있었으나 공통 비선호 요인으로 나타난 ‘인공적임’, ‘외관’, ‘끈적하다’ 등의 특성 또한 염지액 내 연화 소재로 인한 것으로 유추되어 위와 같은 비기호성 특성에 대한 보완이 필요하다. 또한, 연구 대상자가 마포구에 거주하는 50대 이상 성인으로 한정되었으며 시료 제공 시 소스 및 동반 식품의 미제공으로 시판 제품과의 비교 분석이 이루어지지 않았다. 따라서 폭넓은 고령 연령층을 대상으로 포화증기 기술 및 효소함침법을 적용한 제품과 기존 제품과의 비교 분석하는 연구가 이루어져야 할 것이다.
