This study was conducted to investigate the degree of practice of dietary behavior and dining out in accordance with intake of sodium among male and female adults aged 20 years or older residing in the Seoul Metropolitan area or Chungcheong Province. A total of 530 copies of the questionnaire were distributed from May to July, 2014. The SH group who responded that they eat a lot of sodium constituted 30.6% (158 people), followed by the SM group who responded that their sodium intake is about average at 55.7% (288 people) and the SL group who answered that they do not eat much sodium at 13.7% (71 people). Those in the SL group showed positive results for dietary behavior patterns. The SL group showed the lowest rate in terms of how often they eat harmful foods, including processed foods, sweet foods, salty foods, or food with high animal fat content such as pork belly. Positive results among the SL group were prominent in terms of avoiding over-drinking, regular exercise, and nutritional knowledge, indicating greater health management. The distribution of each group in terms of self-perceived sodium intake showed significant differences across age, gender, and household income in terms of frequency of fast food intake, regularity of meals, purchase of foods with consideration of sodium amount, frequency of missed meals, balance of food intake, and health management habits.

The purpose of this study is to identify the practical knowledge about osteoporosis and health promoting behavior possessed by male and female university students in their twenties. Next, the study seeks to analyze the difference in the degree of knowledge and practice of health promoting behavior depending on the students’ area of study (health-related or non-health-related major) and previous education about osteoporosis. A survey was given to 300 male and female university students in Jeju Island from November 18 to December 6, 2013. Regarding knowledge about osteoporosis, the accuracy rate of health science major participants was 16.8 % higher than that of those of non-health science, and the accuracy rate of participants with previous education about osteoporosis was 12.9 % higher than those who had not. Health promoting behavior showed a higher degree of practice among students in health-related majors and those with previous applicable education. There were significant differences between the knowledge of osteoporosis and major and the presence and absence of prior education. Regarding the degree of health promoting behavior and major, the presence or absence of prior education showed significant differences. Among male and female students in their twenties, the recognition of knowledge about osteoporosis is very low. There is a need to develop various programs that focus on osteoporosis prevention rather than treatment, to improve the quality of education and training content according to the individual, and to lower the target age for osteoporosis education.

This study was performed to investigate health-related behaviors and dietary attitudes among workers, using questionnaires with 338 workers in October 2005 who were employed by 5 industrial companies at the Gumi industrial complex. The result is summarized as follows. The subjects' interest in health was shown to be slightly higher than usual. An increase in their interest was observed with advancing age (p<0.05) and the level of interest was higher in females than males(p<0.05). Regarding a understanding of their health status, 57.4% of the total subjects considered their health status to be poor although there was no any known disease, while only 29.6% considered to be good. The subjects' dietary attitudes showed that the average of the each items was 2.88±0.82, and the average of the total items was 58.7±0.00. The average of their diet satisfaction was shown to be 2.88±0.82, and There was a significant difference in their diet satisfaction between residential building types(p<0.01) and work types(p<0.01). 66.8% of the total subjects answered that the main purpose of their meals was to fill an empty stomach. Their health-related behaviors, dietary attitudes and diet satisfaction showed that daily exercise, suitable diet and intake of health supplements were closely correlated with their dietary attitudes. It was also shown that there were the close correlations between the suitable diet and their dietary attitudes and diet satisfaction, between their refraining from drinking coffee and sufficient rest, between their refraining from drinking alcohol and sufficient rest, and between their feeling comfortable and drinking water as much as possible, respectively.

The purpose of this study was to compare the awareness of dietary patterns and health of full-time and employed housewives. The investigation gathered information on general characteristics, dietary lifestyle, nutritional status, and health by questionnaire as well as anthropometric measurements. The subjects included housewives living in Seoul and Gyeonggi Province (86 full-time and 127 working housewives) during November 2009 to January 2010. The average age, height, and weight of the housewives were 45.8±7.6 yr, 161.0±8.4 cm, and 55.7±6.3 kg, respectively. The average monthly income of the households was 3 million to 5 million won (31.4% full-time and 37.0% working housewives), and their average food expense was 200,000 to 500,000 won (46.5% full-time and 48.1% working housewives). More than 90% of the studied homes were nuclear families and the most common number of children was 2 to 3 (79.1% full-time and 76.4% working housewives). The ratio of employed housewives who ate regular meals was 35.4%, but that of the full-time housewives was 48.2% (p〈0.05). Of the working housewives, 7.1% never ate breakfast and the primary reason for skipping breakfast was 'busy in the morning' (61.1%). The type of food that the housewives preferred when eating out was Korean food, both for the full-time and employed housewives (76.0%). All the housewives overate calories and the full-time housewives ate more protein, fat, vitamin A, vitamin B1, vitamin B6, niacin, vitamin C, vitamin E, folic acid, and cholesterol than the employed housewives (p〈0.05). Both the full-time and employed housewives were more satisfied with supper than with other meals. About 30.6% of the full-time and 33.9% of the working housewives had no interest in health, but answered that regular exercise was very important for health (33.3% full-time and 39.7% working housewives). In conclusion, working housewives have poor dietary habits and nutrient intakes, thus substantial measures to improve these problems are urgently needed.

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 aim of this study was to compare the dietary patterns and behaviors of female university students according to their type of residence. The subjects consisted of 369 female students from the Gyeongju area. This cross-sectional survey was conducted using a self-administered questionnaire. The SPSS 14.0 statistical package was used for the data analysis. The results are as follows: the height and weight means were 162.7±4.6 cm and 53.9±6.7 kg respectively. For BMI, 44.2% of the subjects were with in the normal (18.5-23) and 49.1% were underweight and 6.2% were overweight. In terms of alcohol consumption, 78.9% of the subjects consumed alcoholic beverages, and there was no significant difference by the type of residence However, for drink proportion and the preferred type of alcoholic drink there were significant differences by the type of residence (p〈0.001). Third, for smoking status and the intention of quitting smoking there were significant differences by the type of residence (p〈0.000, p〈0.05 respectively). Also, for exercise regularity and preference as well as food preference and taste, there were again significant differences by the type of residence (p〈0.001). Finally, in terms of breakfast intake and kinds of foods eaten at breakfast significant differences were found by the type of residence (p〈0.01).

Secondhand smoke (SHS) is one of major public health threats in morbidity and mortality. Several national and regional comprehensive smoke-free regulations have been implemented to prevent public health exposure, but not in Korea. The purpose of this manuscript was to review impacts of the national or regional smoke-free legislations on indoor air quality, health effects and smoking behaviors. Indoor air quality has been improved significantly after smoke free policy. Such improvement was measured by fine particulates and urinary cotinine. Respiratory and cardiovascular health effects were significantly improved after smoke free policy. This is an indirect evidence of association between secondhand smoke exposure and the health effects. Respiratory symptoms were improved as short as one month after smoke free policy. Smoke free policy was also associated with improved perception of danger of secondhand smoke. Reduction of smoking prevalence was also unexpected benefit of smoke free policy. As reviewed in this paper, smoke free policy can be beneficial to indoor air quality, health effects and smoking behaviors. Since Korea does not have comprehensive smoke free policy yet, it is strongly recommended to implement national comprehensive smoke free policy.

This study was intended to collect the baseline information on dietary behavior of adults to develop nutrition education program in the context of health promotion at community level. Nutrients intake of 135 housewives were assessed by 24 hour recall methods. Also food habits, nutrition knowledge and attitude were investigated by self-administered questionnaires. Our results indicated dietary intake of calcium and vitamin B2 were insufficient when they were compared to Korean recommended dietary allowances(RDA). Among five food groups, intakes of milk and dairy product was inadequate as compared to the recommended amount. When we compared the fatness indices to self-evaluated meal problems, overeating and speedy eating were significantly related to fatness indices. Fatness indices such as relative body weight(RBW) and body mass index(BMI) were significantly higher in the subjects who self-evaluated their unsound food behavior as overeating. However, there were no significant differences of food habit score and nutrition knowledge among groups classified by fatness or meal problem. Body fat ratio, frequencies of night snack and skipping meal significantly increased with age. Food habit score was positively related to health-concerned attitude and active attitude toward change. We concluded that nutrition education program for housewives should include detailed strategies to modify unsound food behaviors for healthy weight.

The health, anthropometry, food habits, food intake frequency and nutrition intake of 747(219 men and 528 women) elderly people living in Inchon were investigated. Mean BMI, WHR, triceps skinfold thickness, BIA, blood pressure of the subjects were 23.4, 1.0, 15.6mm, 28.6%, 137.5/78.8mmHg in men and 24.9, 0.87, 22.6mm, 36.2%, 130.8/73.8mmHg in women respectively. Over the half of the subjects perceived themselves unhealthy and 86.2% of the elderly suffered from one or more illness. Ratios of the smoking and the drinking elderly were 40%, 43% in men and 12%, 11% in women. The major reason to stop smoking or drinking was the concern about their health. Food habit score of the subjects was relatively high (14.45/18.0) but food intake frequency score were relatively low (21.18/33.0) except the food groups of cereal & grain, white vegetable and sweets. The foods consumed by the elderly were very limited in quality and also in quantity. The daily intakes of calorie, protein, iron, vit. B1, niacin and vit. C were less than 2/3 of RDA and the amounts of calcium, vit. A and vit. B2 consumption were less than 1/2 of RDA.

본 연구는 ‘이완-인지행동-사회적 지지’전략에 기반하여 격주 수행된 실내활동중심 원예치료 프로그램이 보건소 이용 암환자의 코티졸과 세로토닌 변화에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 수행되었다. 대상은 암으로 진단 받고 K보건소 행복교실을 이용하는 환자들 중 2015년 8월부터 2015년 12월까지 1기 15명, 2016년 3월부터 6월까지 2기 8명, 총 23명 실험군으로 단일집단연구로 이루어졌다, 회기당 90분, 격주 1회, 종 8회(2달) 동안 원예치료 프로그램을 수행하였다. 조사 항목 및 방법은 생리지표로 Cortisol, Serotonin을 측정하였다. 이완전략은 모든 회기의 시작단계에 적용되어 심리적, 신체적 긴장감을 완화하도록 유도하였다. 사회적 지지전략은 회기의 진행에 따라 순차적으로 적용되고, 시작 및 종료단계에서 적극적으로 이루어졌고, 활동 종료 후 가족 및 지지체계로부터 긍정적, 지속적 지지를 경험하 도록 하였다. 인지행동 전략은 부적절한 사고 및 상황 파악하기, 자신의 강점 인식하기, 긍정적 초점으로 문제해결하기, 긍정적 자기 재평 가하기의 4단계로 순차적으로 적용되고, 전개단계에서 적극적으로 이루어졌다. 자신의 부적절한 사고 및 감정을 압화이름표와 잔디인형 에 표현하고, 부적절한 사고 및 감정을 허브식물 이식과정에서 뿌리로 통합하도록 하였다. 꽃바구니를 만드는 과정에서 사용된 다양한 꽃 과 소재의 역할에서 자신의 강점을 탐색하고, 이를 다육식물의 환경적응 및 강인함과 연결하여 접시정원을 완성하였다. 또한 식재했던 허 브식물의 잎을 수확하여 허브티백을 만들고, 남겨진 꽃으로 만든 압화를 이용하여 압화 티매트를 만들면서 쓸모없어 다듬은 뿌리, 눌러둔 꽃이 새롭게 창조되는 경험을 통하여 자신의 문제를 긍정적 초점으로 해결하도록 도왔다. 새싹채소를 파종하고 수확하여 성취감과 새로운 생명력, 잠재적 가능성을 느끼고, 쓸모없다고 여겨진 꽃이 코사지로 만들어 그동안 참여한 자신에게 선물한다. 전체 회기동안 이루어진 활 동과 결과물을 이용하여 가든파티를 함으로써 자신을 긍정적으로 재평가할 수 있도록 구성하였다. 이에 실험군의 Cortisol은 원예치료 프로그램 사전에 비해 유의하게 낮아졌으며(p=0.014), Serotonin은 원예치료 프로그램 사전에 비해 유 의하게 증가(p=0.000)하였다.

본 연구는 유치원 아동들의 구강보건행태에 따른 구강건강실태를 조사하여 치아우식증을 예방하기 위한 올바른 습관 형성에 기초자료를 제공하자 한다. 연구대상은 대구시에 위치한 유치원 7세 아동 213명으로 조사된 자료는 spssver.18.0 프로그램을 이용하여 분석하였다. 연구결과 1일 칫솔질을 3회, 4회 수행하는 아동들은 자발적 수행능력이 유의하게 높은 것으로 나타났고, 매 식사후 칫솔질을 하는 아동들 역시 치아우식경험도가 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 반면 평소 회전법으로 칫솔질을 한다는 아동의 우식경험유치지수와 당일 칫솔질을 하고 온 아동의 치면세균막지수는 높은 것으로 나타났는데 이는 올바른 방법의 수행능력이 부족한 것으로 사료되며 구강건강을 유지하기 위해서는 칫솔질 실천율을 높이는 것과 동시에 구강보건교육에 있어 올바른 칫솔질 수행 능력의 증대를 위한 교육 프로그램 개발이 필요할것으로 사료된다.

이 연구의 목적은 운동행동변화를 예측하는 구성요인과 지각된 건강상태 간에 어떤 관계가 있는가를 알아보기 위해 2007년 서울 및 경기도에 거주하고 있는 당해연도 30세 이상의 성인 남녀 1400명을 편의표집하였다. 그리고 최종적으로 1247명을 분산분석과 로지스틱 회귀분석에 적용하였다. 분석된 결과에 의하면 첫째, 남자는 자극통제가 낮을수록 자신의 건강상태를 ‘아주 좋다’보다 ‘나쁘다’ 또는 ‘그저 그렇다’라고 지각할 확률이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 여자는 자아재평가를 낮게 지각하고 자극통제가 낮을수록 스스로의 건강상태를 ‘나쁘다’와 ‘그저 그렇다’라고 지각할 확률이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 운동손실을 높게 지각하고 있는 남녀 모두 자신의 건강상태를 ‘아주 좋다’보다 ‘나쁘다’라고 지각할 확률이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 운동행동변화를 예측하는 구성요인과 지각된 건강상태 간의 관계와 관련하여 후속연구를 위해 논의하였다.
