Physical activity, a key component of maintaining health, is becoming an essential alternative in reducing medical expenses for the old people. This research was intended to analyze 51 research papers published in the (JER) through semantic network analysis. The subjects of the study were the keywords that the authors of each paper used in journal search sites from 2013 to 2019. The present researcher analyzed the frequency, density, and centrality of the keywords of the indicators through semantic network analysis and then visualized them on the basis of findings using UCINET6 and the NetDraw program. Also, the researcher classified the hidden clusters by CONCOR (Convergence of iterated Correlations) analysis, which is a kind of cluster analysis. As a result, it was found that the keyword with the highest frequency was "exercise," followed by "cognition, "physicalactivity," "old-women," "Korean," "fall," and "training." It was also found that most of the high-frequency keywords, such as "exercise," "cognition," "old-women," "program" and "depression" had high centrality. These keywords were classified into four clusters: (a) mental health research, (b) physical health research, (c) social behavior research, and (d) leisure efficacy research. This suggests that the old people-related research papers published in the JER have derived effective methods of maintaining physical and mental health using scientific exercise programs, and especially address the effects of exercise intervention for old women.
体育活动是维持健康的关键要素,正成为降低老年人医疗费用的重要选择。本研究旨在通过语义网络分析对发表在《老年研究杂志》(JER)上的51篇研究论文进行分析。研究对象是每篇论文的作者在2013年至2019年期间在期刊搜索网站上使用的关键词。本研究人员通过语义网络分析对指标关键词的频率、密度和中心性进行了分析,然后根据研究结果使用UCINET6和NetDraw程序将其可视化。此外,研究人员通过一种聚类分析方法——迭代相关收敛(CONCOR)分析对隐藏聚类进行了分类。结果发现,出现频率最高的关键词是“运动”,其次是“认知”“体育活动”“老年女性”“韩国人”“跌倒”和“训练”。还发现,大多数高频关键词,如“运动”“认知”“老年女性”“项目”和“抑郁”都具有较高的中心性。这些关键词被分为四类:(a)心理健康研究,(b)身体健康研究,(c)社会行为研究,以及(d)休闲效能研究。这表明,发表在《老年研究杂志》上的与老年人相关的研究论文已经得出了利用科学运动项目维持身心健康的有效方法,尤其关注运动干预对老年女性的影响。
