SummaryOver the past century, the population of Korea has aged rapidly as a result of decreasing fertility and mortality. Furthermore, the percentage of the population aged 65 and older is expected to double from 7% to 14% within 18 years, a much shorter doubling period than in most other developed countries. As Korean society ages, interest in healthy and successful ageing has increased. However, although previous studies have examined various determinants of successful ageing, such as socioeconomic status, gender differences have been neglected. This study investigated gender differences as factors in successful ageing among elderly men and women. Successful ageing has been defined as having high levels of physical and social functioning. Physical functioning includes having no difficulties with activities of daily living (ADL) or instrumental activities of daily living (IADL). Social functioning is defined as participation in at least one of the following social activities: paid work, religious gatherings or volunteer service. Data for this study were obtained from a representative sample of 761 community-living individuals aged 65–84 years (340 males, 421 females); the respondents were interviewed face-to-face as part of the third wave of the Hallym Ageing Study (2007). Socioeconomic status appears to have a greater gender-specific effect on physical functioning than on social functioning. Especially for elderly men, a higher monthly individual income was significantly related to a higher level of physical functioning. Among elderly women, a higher level of education was associated with a higher level of physical functioning. In a major metropolis, elderly men had low social functioning and elderly women had low physical functioning. As Korea's population ages, successful ageing has received much attention. This study shows that policies promoting successful ageing must consider gender differences and associated socioeconomic factors.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the course and clinical correlates of depression during the first year after myocardial infarction. Method: A group of seventy patients hospitalized for the treatment of myocardial infarction (MI) were assessed for the presence of mood disorders during their hospital admission and at three, six, nine, and twelve months follow-up. Patients were evaluated and diagnosed using the Present State Examination and DSM-III criteria. Impairment in activities of daily living was measured by the Johns Hopkins Functioning Inventory and impairment in social functioning was measured by the Social Functioning Examination. Results: A total of twenty-four patients met DSM-III criteria for major depression at some time during the study (18 in the acute stage, 6 during follow-up). There were two patients with minor depression (dysthymia) at intake and six developed minor depression during the follow-up period. The median duration of major depression was 4.5 months. Patients with depression at intake had greater impairment in activities of daily living than non-depressed patients. Depressions lasting more than six months were more likely to be anxious depressions than those lasting less than six months. After the acute MI period, there was a consistent relationship between the existence of depression and impaired social functioning. Conclusions: This is a pilot study and needs further replication due to the low rate of follow-up participation. However, these data suggest that there may be two types of depression following MI: an acute depression associated with greater functional impairment, and a prolonged depression that may be associated with inadequate social support.

✓ The authors examine those factors that contributed to deterioration in social functioning, activities of daily living, or intellectual functioning during a 1-year period after traumatic brain injury (TBI). Fifty-two patients suffering an acute TBI were evaluated for existence and severity of mood disorders and impairment during their hospital stays and at 3-, 6-, and 12-month follow-up examinations. Patients whose scores on intellectual function, social function, or daily activities deteriorated during the 1-year period after trauma were considered to have a poor outcome. Eleven of 52 patients had a poor outcome in social function, which was associated with race, right-hemisphere lesions, intellectual impairment, and prolonged major depression. Seven of 52 patients had a poor outcome in daily activities, which was associated with a major depression of more than 6 months' duration and severity of Hamilton Depression Rating Scale scores. Eleven of these patients had a poor outcome in cognitive function, which was associated with cognitive impairment immediately after TBI. A major depression lasting more than 6 months was associated with deterioration of social functioning and activities of daily living during the 1-year period after TBI.
