In this study, based on the international standard the quantitative assessment model for the level of safety, health and environment was developed. As a result of applying this model, the company(workplace) which has established improvement plan based on quantitative assessment of short-term and long-term requirements, and implemented it was acquired more higher level of safety, health and environment by more than the existing ones.

This study was conducted as a comparative analysis, using the SPSS 17.0 program for a survey conducted from March to July 2013, on the level of perception and preference factors of Koreans and Americans residing in Virginia, USA(89 male and female adults of 20 years of age or above). For the information on the degree of obesity, a survey was used and the subjects provided with their heights and weights. The researcher used this data to calculated their BMI and distinguished the degrees of obesity. For the BMI, the obesity diagnosis of Korean Society for the Study of Obesity was used for Koreans, and the WHO's obesity diagnosis on adults were employed for Americans. First, regarding the Korean participants, the level of obesity appeared in the order of normal (79.6%), overweight (14.3%), and underweight (6.1%). Also, the level of perceptions of their health conditions appeared in the order of average (51.7%) and good (34.7%). No one perceived their health to be in poor condition. Meanwhile, for the American participants, the order was as follows: overweight at about 45%, normal weight at about 35%, obesity at about 12.5%, and underweight at about 7.5%. In terms of the level of perception of health during ordinary times, about 55% of the American participants answered that they are in good health. Therefore, the Americans were found to perceive their health to be in relatively better condition than the Koreans residing in the USA. Also, concerning the level of interest in health while eating food at ordinary times, the American participants were discovered to be more interested (about 62.5%) than the Korean participants. The research on their preference for salty taste was conducted as a survey, and the subjects were asked to choose an item according to their subjective feeling. Regarding the preference for salty taste, both Koreans and Americans residing in the USA responded as moderate. However, a higher proportion of Americans than Koreans responded to favor salty taste. Concerning the reason for their preference for salty taste, Koreans responded with various reasons whereas Americans mostly responded that it is because they eat salty food frequently. For any changes in dietary behavior related to eating salty food, both Korean and American respondents thought that the amount of their daily intake of salt is appropriate and that they consider taste as most important in selecting a snack. Based on the above data, the results of this research indicate a need for actual improvement in the diet with regard to salty food along with diverse policies for promoting life with a low salt diet in future.

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 purpose of this study was to investigate factors influencing sales of health functional foods by door-to-door saleswomen. A total of 450 women who worked as door-to-door salespersons in Seoul were enrolled. The survey questionnaire was composed of five parts as follows: general characteristics, factors related with door-to-door sales process, task education, competency required for door-to-door salespersons, and customer relationship beliefs. The survey was conducted in October 2011. Finally, data on 302 subjects were statistically analyzed using the SPSS 17.0 package program. Reason for sales of health functional foods (p<0.01), time required for sales promotion (p<0.001), difficulties during sales of health functional foods (p<0.05), satisfaction of task education (p<0.01), and failure of salesperson's memory as problems of task education (p<0.01) were significantly associated with sales of health functional foods. However, means of sales promotion, frequency and time of task education, and competency required for door-to-door salespersons were not significantly related with sales of health functional foods. Customer relationship beliefs did not show significant association with sales of health functional foods either. In conclusion, certain factors were associated with sales of health functional foods by door-to-door saleswomen. These results provide an understanding for sales of door-to-door health functional foods and provide basic information for preparation of task education for health functional food saleswomen and marketing.

Employing a 2 (Source disclosure: Health agency vs. Co-created) x 2 (Co-creator identity: General vs. Specific) between-subjects fractional factorial design, this research explores how the disclosure of consumer involvement in developing public health messages can increase advertising effectiveness. This effect is enhanced by revealing the co-creator’s identity and experience with the health issue.

New health care services are salient in the supply chain.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the eating patterns, nutrient intakes, blood levels, and health status of male college students in Seoul according to body mass index (BMI). In this study, we classified subjects into normal weight (n=240), under weight (n=11), and obese (n=46) groups according to BMI. The weight and BMI were significantly higher in the obese group compared to other groups (p<0.0001). The obesity was associated with overeating and frequent eating. The under weight group showed significantly higher consumption of fast food, snacks, and fried foods compared to the other groups (p<0.05). The intakes of milk, meat, fish, eggs, and fried food and preference ratios were higher in the obese group (p<0.05). The male college students in this study showed insufficient intakes of calories, vitamin C, folic acid, and calcium. The plasma LDL-cholesterol levels in the obese group were higher compared to the other groups. In conclusion, intake of nutrients among male college students is found to be insufficient and requires nutritional education. The under weight group showed regular eating habits and increased nutrient intake. The obese group was shown to need more exercise with higher intakes of vegetables and fruits.

The purposes of this study were to categorize of pro-environmental clothing purchasing and disposal behaviors and to identify impacts of health and environment consciousness on pro-environmental clothing purchase and disposal behaviors. The subjects were homemakers (n=381), and they were segmented into LOHAS group, environment conscious group, unconscious group, and wellbeing group according to their health and environment consciousness. Older homemakers were included in LOHAS group and environment conscious group. And these homemakers performed pro-environmental clothing purchasing and disposal behaviors better than wellbeing group or unconscious group. Health consciousness was positively related with the second-hand clothing purchasing and recycling. Environment consciousness was positively related with clothing made with organic, natural or functional materials, or the second-hand clothing purchasing, and recycling of the second-hand clothing. There was a need to develop continuing education programs to strengthen homemakers' health and environment consciousness, or to upgrade their pro-environmental clothing purchase and disposal behaviors.

The occupational injury and illness(OII) was influenced by the various factors. This study was planned to investigate the pathway of the activities of OSHM on the rate of OII via worker's participation. The survey on the trend of the activities of OSHM was used. The sample size of manufacturing industry was 3,000 enterprises and that of construction was 1,000 enterprises. The survey was done by interview method with structure questionnaire. Questions about the activities of OHSM were integrated into one category using factor analysis. The enterprises with OII has more activities of OSHM than that without OII. Among enterprises with OII, the level of the activities of OSHM was positively correlated with the rate of OII. The activities of OSHM has influenced on the rate of OII directly and indirectly via worker's participation and the activities of prevention of accident. Worker's participation also has the direct effect and indirect effect on the rate of OII. Worker's participation in construction sector has more effect on OII than that in manufacturing sector.

The study about relationship with game use and mental health is being watched with keen interest. However, these isn't enough study on comparison within mass media just like television or SNS. In this study, we compared each media usage time and mental health factor on public. We selected game, television, radio, newspaper, book as mass media and depression, aggression, loneliness, self control, happiness, self efficacy, self esteem as mental health factor. As a result of the study, high game usage time group shows low self control, high aggression and little low self efficacy as compared with other media. And game, SNS and book show the relationship with depression, so there needs joint researches about that. We clear up the character and relationships with the game propensity analysis for the game development and studies of mental health.

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.

Employees used computer significantly(IT employee) is increased by technological development in workplace. This study tried to find the magnitude of IT employees and the profile of their working conditions and ill health experiences in South Korea. Korean Working Conditions Survey was used with descriptive and mean difference test in order to find the difference working conditions and ill health status among the groups classified by the degree of using computer during work. Some of working conditions was positively correlated with the density of computer use such as work autonomy, the exposure of repetitive movement of hand and arms. The pain of upper extreme was also more frequently found in the highest user group of computer than lower user groups. This study as heuristic one suggest that some of depth analysis with hypothesis will be done to identify the causes and pathway of impact of computer use.

목적: 안경지원제도의 필요성과 그 효과에 대하여 알아보고 안 보건 지원정책 수립에 대한 주요 근거 자료를 제시하고자 하였다. 방 법: 2010년 국민건강영양조사 제5기 원시자료를 이용하여 만 6세에서 18세인 1,495명에 대하여 부모의 경제적 요인과 안(눈)건강과의 관계를 분석하였고, 서울 및 경기 소재 지역 아동센터의 청소년(13.43±2.324세) 100명을 대상으로 하여 안경지원 후 시생활의 변화와 안경지원 효과에 대하여 알아보았다. 결과: 근시 유병률은 저소득층에서 60.27%로 고소득층 55.30%보다 높은 유병률을 보였다. 원시 유병률은 저소득층 5.48%, 고소득층 5.06%였고, 난시 유병률은 저소득층이 46.57%, 고소득층 37.88%로 저소득층이 약 9% 정도 유병률이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 고소득층은 1년 이내에 시력검안을 정기적으로 받은 적이 있다고 답한 사람이 전체에 61.5%인 반면 저소득층에서는 53.23%가 정기적으로 시력검안을 받는다고 하였다. 전체 대상자(11.56±3.550세)의 굴절이상도(-1.86±2.232D)와 지역아동센터를 이용하는 대상(13.43± 2.324세)과 비교하였을 때 지역아동센터 이용 그룹의 굴절이상도(-2.95±2.423)가 더 높았다. 결 론: 사회취약계층에 해당하는 저소득층의 자녀의 유병률이 고소득층 그룹보다 높음을 알 수 있었고, 또한 상대적으로 저소득층에게서 정기적인 시력검진의 기회가 적은 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 사회적 취약계층 자녀의 안건강 실태를 파악하여 정상적인 생활을 영위할 수 있도록 지원해 주고 안경지원 정책을 정립화해야 할 것이다.
