The purpose of this study was to synthetically examine the relationship between systemic diseases and periodontal diseases. The data obtained from the Fifth Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were used. SPSS 18.0 for Windows was applied for statistical analysis. The surveyed data were analyzed by using independent sample t-test for the difference between Body Mass Index and clinical test according to the existence of periodontal disease, and X2 test for the relationship between periodontal disease and systemic disease. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used in order to figure out the influence upon the periodontal disease prevalence among general characteristics and systemic diseases. As results, the values of high density lipoprotein (HDL) and HBA1C were statistically significant, depending on the presence of periodontal disease. As for the relationship between periodontal disease and systemic disease, hypertension (odds ratio 1.362, p<.05), cardiovascular disease (odds ratio 2.118, p<.05), arthritis (odds ratio 1.289, p<.05) and cirrhosis (odds ratio 6.124, p<.05) were statistically significant. According to Multiple logistic regression analysis, gender (odds ratio 1.24, p<.05), alcohol intake (odds ratio 1.25, p<.05), cardiovascular diseases (odds ratio 1.56, p<.05), and liver cirrhosis (odds ratio 1.17, p<.05) were related to the prevalence of periodontal diseases. In conclusion, the systemic diseases such as cardiovascular system, diabetes, and liver diseases revealed to have relationship with periodontal disease. To strengthen oral health education is needed to enhance systemic health as well as oral health. Moreover, basic biological research should be followed to support this surveyed study.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate dietary habit and nutritional status by household income in female adults, using data from the 4th Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2007~2009). Subjects were 8,356 women over the age of 20 years. The subjects were classified into 4 groups by household income level. Dietary data from 24 hr recall methods were used to analyze nutritional status. The obesity rate of the low income group was significantly higher than the rates of other income groups. Additionally, the nutritional status of the low income group was worse than those of other groups. The percentage of carbohydrate in total energy intake was higher and food security status was lower in the low income group than in other groups. Awareness and adherence to dietary guidelines were also lower in the low income group. Adherence to a dietary guideline of ‘avoiding salty foods and trying to eat foods with bland taste’ and ‘eating a variety of foods from each food group’ were lower than those of other groups. However, the frequency of skipping breakfast among the low income group was lower than that of others. Therefore, this study suggested that low income women should decrease the percentage of carbohydrate in total energy intake and adhere to dietary guidelines, especially those of avoiding salty foods and eating a variety of food groups, in order to improve their nutritional status.

The objective of this study is to examine the relationship between tomato consumption and the risk of metabolicsyndrome (MetS) in Korean middle aged women. Data from the combined 2009-2011 Korean National Health andNutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) was analyzed. Tomato intake was assessed using the algorithms devel-oped to analyze the demographic data of intakes of different tomato based food commodities such as “tomato, raw”,“tomato, tomato juice”, “tomato, tomato canned”, “tomato sauce”, and “tomato ketchup”. Korean women(n=11,251) were subgrouped according to the number of the MetS risk factor (RF 0, RF 1-2, RF 3). Anthropo-metric parameters, lipid profiles, fasting glucose, and tomato intake were analyzed. Corresponding to the number ofthe MetS RF, there was a decrease in tomato intake (18.90±1.78, 16.67±1.23 and 12.84±1.23; P<0.001). Tomatointake showed a negative correlation with systosolic blood pressure, BMI, waist, and triglyceride. HDL cholesterolalso showed a significant correlation with tomato intake (r=0.023, P<0.05). In summary, the results show a rela-tionship between tomato intake and MetS in Korean middle aged women.

This study was performed to investigate the characteristics of nutrient intake according to metabolic syndrome in Korean elderly. Data on 1,200 elderly (men 545, women 655) over 65 years was obtained from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2010. The subjects were divided into metabolic syndrome (MetS) and normal groups based on NCEP-ATP III guidelines and by applying the Asia-Pacific definition with waist circumference. The prevalence of MetS was 48.9% in all subjects, 35.6% in men and 58.9% in women, respectively. All nutrient intake was significantly lower in MetS than normal subjects, except iron, vitamin A, carotene, and retinol. In the carbohydrate: protein: fat (C:P:F) ratio, MetS showed a higher rate for carbohydrate, but a lower rate for protein and fat than normal. MetS was lower in calcium, vitamin B1, and vitamin C by the nutrient adequacy ratio than normal. Mean adequacy ratio of MetS (0.69) was lower than that of the normal group (0.72). These results demonstrated that undernutrition, not excess intake of specific nutrients - energy, fat, or cholesterol was associated with the risk for MetS in Korean elderly with MetS. Therefore, it is recommended to have a healthy dietary pattern with diverse nutrients for the prevention of MetS.

We examined the relationship between breakfast eating, nutrient intake, and health outcomes using dietary intake, anthropometric, and biochemical measurements in Korean adults. Data from the 2007 National Health and Nutrition Survey were obtained, and 2,514 adults aged 20 to 64 years were analyzed. The prevalence of skipping breakfast, using a 24-hour diet recall, was 54.5% in the 20-29 age group, 31.2% in the 30-49 age group, and 19.2% in the 50-64 age group. In the 20-29 age group, waist circumstance and serum cholesterol were significantly higher in breakfast skippers than in breakfast eaters. In the 30-49 age group, breakfast skippers had higher triglyceride levels than breakfast eaters. Energy intake of breakfast skippers in every age group was significantly lower than that of breakfast eaters. Furthermore, in the 20-29 and 30-49 age groups, the percent of energy from carbohydrates in breakfast skippers was significantly lower than that of breakfast eaters, whereas the percent of energy from lipids in breakfast skippers was significantly higher than that of breakfast eaters. Additionally, in the 20-29 and 30-49 age groups, breakfast eaters showed higher carbohydrate and iron intake per 1,000 kcal than breakfast skippers and lower lipid intake per 1,000 kcal than that of breakfast skippers. Breakfast skippers showed intakes of less nutrients than EAR was higher than breakfast eaters except vitamin B2 and calcium intake in males of the 20-29 age group. In conclusion, nutrition education, and policy should be implemented to teach the importance of breakfast, appropriate dietary intake, and proper food choice for each age group.

본 연구에서는 국민건강영양조사 1998년(제1기)부터 2008년(제4기 2차) 조사까지 총 5기의 식품섭취조사 자료를 이용하여, ‘들깻잎, 생것’, ‘들깻잎, 데친것’, ‘들깻잎, 찐것’, ‘들깻잎, 통조림’의 섭취자 및 섭취량에 대한 분석을 시행하였다. 특히, 국민건강영양조사의 식품 섭취량 자료로부터 합리적이고 객관적으로 들깻잎 섭취자의 수 및 섭취량을 산출할 수 있는 방법을 개발하였다. 들깻잎의 섭취량에 대한 분석은 국민건강영양조사의 전체 응답자의 평균 섭취량(응답자 평균 섭취량), 들깻잎 섭취자의 평균 섭취량(섭취자 평균 섭취량), 상위 5%의 극단 섭취자의 평균 섭취량(극단 섭취량), 남성 및 여성의 평균 섭취량, 20세 미만과 20세 이상의 평균 섭취량의 5가지의 항목으로 구분하여 분석되었다. 들깻잎 섭취자의 수 및 섭취량을 분석한 결과 들깻잎 섭취자의 수는 조사연도별로 균일한 분포를 나타내었으며, 1일 7-10명 중 1명이 들깻잎을 섭취한다는 결과를 도출하였다. 남성과 여성의 섭취자 비율은 여성이 남성에 비해 평균 1.22배 더 많았다. 응답자 평균 섭취량은 2.20 g이었으며, 섭취자의 평균 섭취량은 2005년에서 가장 높았고(21.40 g), 1998년과 2008년에 비하여 0.24 g 정도 증가하였다. 대부분의 조사연도에서 남성의 섭취량이 여성에 비해 높았고, 20세 미만의 섭취량은 전체적으로 20세 이상 섭취량보다 낮았다. 극단 섭취량 1998년에서 2005년까지의 섭취량이 평균 78.02 g으로 높았지만, 2007년과 2008년에는 평균 55.58 g로 낮아졌다. 들깻잎 섭취형태를 분석한 결과 ‘들깻잎, 생것’, ‘들깻잎, 통조림’, ‘들깻잎, 데친것’, ‘들깻잎, 찐것’ 순으로 응답자 수 및 섭취량 순위가 결정되었다. 그 중 ‘들깻잎, 데친것’, ‘들깻잎, 찐것’의 데이터가 충분치 않아 결과가 좋지 않게 나왔다. 또한 국민건강영양조사 식품 섭취량 데이터는 2007년부터 상시 조사를 시작하였으며, 그 이전에는 시행된 연도에 따라 조사 기간 및 계절이 1998년과 2001년에는 11-12월, 2005년에는 4-6월로 일관되지 않았기 때문에 연간 일일 섭취량을 판단하는 데 한계가 있을 것이라 생각된다. 본 연구의 결과를 확대하면 들깻잎 이외의 다른 농산물, 축산물, 수산물 및 이들의 가공품에도 적용할 수 있다. 이러한 식품의 섭취량에 대한 객관적인 정보는 농축수산물 및 가공식품을 통해 의도 또는 비의도적으로 섭취하는 화학 잔류물질의 위해성 평가를 위한 좋은 기초 자료가 될 것이다.

The purpose of this study was to assess the level of quality of life and related factors among the elderly in Korea. In particular, we focused on factors affecting the quality of life of the elderly in long term care. We used the third Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (KNHANES) from 2005. We sampled a total of 3,571 (10.5%) elderly from the national survey. We compared the mean of quality of life to socioeconomic status, Activities of Daily Living (ADL), health behavior, and disease variables. We used EuroQol-5D among KNHANES to assess the quality of life. In this study, the mean score of the quality of life among the elderly was 2.57. Logistic regression showed that the elderly who were male, with spouses, with health insurance, and with good ADL levels enjoyed higher quality of life scores and odds ratios than those who were female, divorced, uninsured, and with low ADL levels (p<.05). The quality of life of the elderly was affected by socioeconomic, ADL, health behavior and disease variables. To improve long term care and the quality of life among the elderly, we need detailed research to clarify the effects of these factors.

The purpose of the present study is to collect information in terms of the frequency and amounts in frequently consumed dishes. We conducted the secondary analysis from '93 Korean National Survey. Mainly informations about 2-day food records were used to investigate dish intakes and to compare different food patterns by area. Amounts of total daily intakes of dishes per capita are 1,741.46g in nationwide, 1,722.03g in large city, 1,712.46g in small city, 1,808.73g in rural. The dish consumed in largest quantities per capita per day is the rice which amounts is 481.67g, 27.66% of total intake. Fruits and cabbage were consumed in large quantities too. Kimchi made of cabbage have the highest number of frequencies. Number of frequencies in rice, fruits, and milk showed high, too. Dish groups are classified by the cooking method. Some dishes in several dish groups have small number of frequencies and small amount of quantities. Some dishes in the top list are not included in the 30 dishes list. There should be some studies about validity and reliability of the dish list, using individual dietary assessment methods.

The purpose of the present study is to collect information in terms of the frequency and amounts in frequently consumed foods. We conducted the secondary analysis from '93 Korean National Nutrition Survey. Mainly informations about 2-day food records were used to investigate food intakes and to compare different food patterns by area. Amounts and frequencies of food intakes are on the list by the order of contributing amounts and frequencies. Amounts of total daily intake of food per capita are 1,054g in nationwide, 1,076g in large city, 1,049g in small city, 1,017g in rural. The major foods consumed in large quantities were rice, kimchi, milk, in nationwide, large city, and small city and rice, kimchi, Korean radish in rural. The intake frequency of kimchi, rice, and basic seasonings as garlic, green onion, salts, soy sauce et al, were higher than other foods in all area. However, there are need for further researches to investigate individual dietary intake and seasonal variation of intakes. Also, food consumption patterns for different groups considering age, sex, area should be studied.

In this study, we analyzed 2-day food records of the 1990 Korean National Nutrition Survey data for 2,000 households, and investigated most popular menu patterns by area, income, meal. The basic menu patterns of Korean, excluding side dishes, were Rice+Soup, Rice+Stew, Rice, Others, Rice+Soup+Stew in the order of proportion for all analyzed sectors. And the proportion of menus with the rice as a main dish was about 90% on the whole. The most popular menus of Korean were Rice+Soup+Kimchi(4.52%), Noodle+Kimchi(4.30%). When they ate rice as a main dish, they had soup, kimchi, and 1 or 2 other side dishes. At large cities, Noodle+Kimchi was the most frequent menu(5.20%). On the other hands, small cities and rural areas, Rice+Soup+Kimchi+Cooked vegetable was common. For the households which salaries less than 5 million won, Rice+Stew+Kimchi is the most prevalent, but households which salaries higher than 5 million won, Noodle+Kimchi was most frequent. At breakfast and dinner, the proportion of Rice+Stew+Kimchi+Cooked vegetable was 4.70%. But at lunch, Noodle+Kimchi was the most frequent and other menu combinations based on noodle were also common. Therefore most households showed conventional rice based menu patterns, but these patterns were decreasing for the large cities, and high income households. Especially at lunch, they used various menus which were not based on rice.

In this report, we investigated meal patterns by area, age, profession from the data of the Korean National Nutrition Survey which had been carried out in 1989. The proportion of home prepared meal was about 90% at breakfast and dinner, and 46.3% at lunch. People had meals outside of home mainly at lunch(31.1%), and usually ate restaurant meal(17.7%). The proportion of meal skipped was 7.1% at breakfast, 3.9% at lunch, and 1.2% at dinner. At large city, 10.3% of people skipped breakfast, it was the highest proportion among three areas(large city, small city, and rural area). Also, the proportion of meal outside of homes was the highest among all areas. In rural area, home prepared meal was prevalent for all meals. Among all age groups, people between 20 and 49 ate out most frequently. For people between age 16 and 19, meal skipping was frequent for breakfast and dinner, especially, 20.5% of girl skipped breakfast. At lunch, the proportion of meal skipping was the highest in age higher than 50 groups. Among all professions, people in service job skipped lunch and dinner at the highest proportion. Manager and deskworker skipped breakfast by 12.9% and they ate out at lunch by 82.5%.

A study of eating behavior was conducted among 274 children of Nan Hyang elementary school, located in low income area of Seoul, where a school lunch program is not operated. During weekdays, 19.6% of children ate breakfast and 18.4% ate supper alone or with their siblings. The school provided boxed lunches for 10.5% of the children with governmental funds, who were chosen by the school based on their household income. But the percentage of the children skipping breakfast was 14.6%, lunch 10.3% and supper 8.0%. The results of nutritional analysis of the children who had three meals a day and those of children skipped one of the regular meals were compared. The group who had three meals consumed more nutrients except vitamin C than the group skipped meal (p〈0.01). Most common meal pattern was consisted of cooked rice, Kimchi and side dishes. When the children didn't have afternoon classes, 10.0% of the children ate Ramen only at home without any side dishes. Among the protein sources, the beans and bean products were the most common items. When we studied the three different lunches such as A) the boxed lunches provided by school, B) the boxed lunches from home and C) the lunches ate at home, the A) lunches provided the most common items. When we studied the three different lunches such as A) the boxed lunches provided by school, B) the boxed lunches from home and C) the lunches ate at home, the A) lunches provided the milk products, fruits, ice cakes·setc. Their favorite foods were fruits, yoghurt, Chinese black noodle, and sweet potatoes whereas being not prefered foods, were aromatic vegetables. It seemed that the increasing rate of working mothers and the overflooding of instant foods have caused to neglect children's meal management. To solve these problems, nutrition education and extend of school lunch programs should be emphasized.

An eating behavior research was done with 50 females at a buffet styled restaurant during their lunch time. Of the respondents, 52.0% were professional and 54.0% were graduate school graduates. Of the respondents, 58.0% of the company were friends and 24.0% were relatives. The average time period of eating was 93.0±23.4 minutes. The average frequency of taking food was 4.0±1.1 and the average frequency of taking food after satiety was 1.4±0.8. It is significant that lower frequency of food consumption was directly proportional to the age groups of respondents. The average selected food items were 30.4±7.1 out of 175 and the average weight of the consumed food was 995.0±240.9 g. The older age group chose a similar number of food items, but the amount of each food item was considerably less than younger. So the younger the age group was, the more they ate. The average food items at one time was 7.1±2.2 and the average food weight time was 233.7±69.7 g. The percentage of respondents who evaluated themselves as 'ate too much' was 70.0% and those who evaluate themselves 'ate properly' was 14.0%. Most of them were satisfied with the buffet service. The average of number of food items consumed by respondents before cooking was 50.5±8.9. The consumption of calories and nutrients was compared with the Korean Daily Recommended Dietary Allowances. The consumed calories were 60.9% of RDAs, protein 104.4%, calcium 77.1%, iron 129.8%, vitamin A 66.5%, thiamin 96.0%, riboflavin 95.7%, niacin126.6% and ascorbic acid 112.3%. This data exceeded 1/3 of the Korean Daily RDAs tremendously and tells us extreme overeating. The energy ratio of carbohydrate: fat: protein was 51.6: 29.9: 18.5. Caloric consumption of animal food was 27.9% and the consumption rate of the other nutrients from animal food was considerably high. But the consumption rate of vitamin A was 90.9% from vegetable groups. Accoding to this study, buffet service gives some advantages. It gives customers an good opportunity to vary their food intake, which enhances eating experiences and can cause an improvemont of food habits. But overeating is a problem. Therefore, we think it is necessary for those women who have influence over their family's food selection, to have nutrition education about a desirable order of eating a meal, food selection, and health problems due to overeating at buffet styled restaurant. There should be some improvement in the management of buffet service. For example, proper temperature, texture, and freshness of the food should be maintained. Prevention of mixed food smells should be considered as well. To lower the price it is desirable to reduce the number of similar items and to use seasonal food as much as possible. A buffet styled restaurant with less food items with cheaper prices is recommended. Various traditional food should be developed for the menu items. We expect buffet services to be sutable to maintain good health and to be popular to any eater.

본 연구는 폐경 전 성인여성의 일반적특성, 생활습관, 식습관, 여성건강행태 및 신체조성에 따른 대퇴골전체, 대퇴 골경부 및 요추의 골밀도 차이가 존재 하는지 규명하여 골밀도의 영향요인을 분석하였다. 연구는 제4기(2008년∼ 2009년), 제5기(2010년∼2011년)에 실시한 국민건강영양조사 자료를 활용하여 30세 이상 폐경 전 성인여성 3820명 을 대상으로 실시되었으며 이 결과는 폐경 전 성인여성에서 골밀도 영향요인이 무엇인지 규명하여 치료하는데 필요한 권고사항이나 지침을 마련하고, 젊은 성인여성의 골밀도를 올바르게 평가하여 폐경 후 골다공증 예방을 위한 보건교육 자료의 개발을 위한 기초자료를 제공하고자 한다. 폐경 전 성인여성의 일반적 특성 중 연령은 대퇴골전체에서 40∼44세, 요추에서 35∼39세에 골밀도가 높았다. 교 육수준은 고졸에서 골밀도가 높았고, 여성건강행태 중 초경연령이 낮을수록 골밀도가 높았다. 생활 습관은 흡연경험이 없고 걷는 시간 및 운동 빈도가 규칙적일수록 골밀도가 높았고, 식습관은 햄버거와 피자 섭취를 하지 않을 경우 골밀 도가 높았다. 신체조성 중 비만유병여부는 비만일 때 골밀도가 높았고 저체중일 때 골밀도가 낮았다. 복부비만 및 체중 조절경험이 있는 사람이 골밀도가 높았다. 총체지방률, 총지방량 및 총근육량은 제1사 분위(Q1)에서 제4사 분위(Q4) 로 갈수록 골밀도가 높게 나타났다. 이 연구에서는 비만유병여부, 총지방량 및 근육량이 골밀도 간에는 매우 유의적인 상관관계를 보였으며, 젊은 여성 들은 골밀도를 증가시키기 위해 자신의 체형에 맞는 적정한 체중을 유지해야하며 정상적인 BMI를 유지 할 필요가 있 음을 알았다. 골다공증의 예방을 위해서는 성장기부터 규칙적인 운동과 금연 등의 올바른 생활습관과 젊은 시절부터 적절한 체중조절을 통해 최대 골질량에 도달할 수 있도록 노력해야 할 것이다.
