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 concept of nutrition in the Asian context is culturally and socially fluid. While food marketing has become more Westernized in many parts of Asia, marketers are still grappling with effective strategies to promote and communicate nutritionally laden products and F & B services within the varied and multifaceted Asian food context. Governments in many countries are making efforts to educate local consumers with indigenous nutrition guidelines and information. This ever-changing scenario offers a number of pressing questions such as: a) What are the latest consumer research findings at the interface between nutrition and consumption? b) How literate are Asian consumers when it comes to nutrition claims and information? c) How is nutrition manifested in the marketing communication of various food products in Asian retail outlets? In this session we invite three panelists with expertise in Asian consumer behavior and health/nutrition/food marketing to provide both local and global perspectives to the issues at hand and recommend potential strategies for marketers and policy makers in Asia.

This study was conducted to measure the effect of a community-based nutritional intervention program on dietary behaviors and nutrient intakes of low-income elderly women in Korea. The subject of the study was a group of 88 elderly women using the free meal service in Dong-gu, Gwangju city in Korea. The study was carried out from April to July 2009, and the pretest, application of nutrition education, and post-test were applied in each stage. This community-based nutrition intervention program consisted of snack supplement and nutrition education provided three times a week and 36 times in total. The nutrition education was led by the nutritionists and professionals using various educational media. Snack supplement included were milk, soymilk, carrot juice, bread, yogurt, and bananas. The result of pretest showed that the nutrient intakes of the subjects were much below the Recommended Nutrient Intake (RNI) level of Dietary Reference Intake for Koreans. Comparison of the dietary behavior score and nutrient intakes before and after the nutritional intervention program indicated that the food behavior score increased from 3.1 to 5.6 (P<0.001) and intake of energy, protein, carbohydrate, thiamin, niacin, vitamin C, iron, and potassium of the subjects all increased significantly (P<0.05). Mean Adequacy Ratio (MAR) of their nutrient intakes was also improved from 0.53 to 0.64 (P<0.01). These results indicated that the nutrition intervention program conducted in this study was effective in improving dietary behavior and nutrient intakes of elderly women in local community.

Aim of this study is to investigate the nutrition knowledge, dietary behaviors, and dietary habits by the gender in high school students in Chungnam province. Girls students had a higher score than boys students for nutritional knowledge, not in the significant difference. However, boys students had a higher score for dietary behaviors than girls students. Dietary habits showed a significant difference in the unbalanced food habit and eating speed by the gender, and the eating speed of boys students was faster than that of girls students. For boys students, the nutritional knowledge and dietary behaviors did not have the significant correlation. Otherwise, girls students had the positive correlation between the nutritional knowledge and dietary behaviors, and had the characteristics of behaviors that the higher the nutritional knowledge score, the better eating habit. In addition, the boys and girls students had the positive correlation between the score of nutritional knowledge and the frequency of breakfast, and the score of nutritional knowledge and the frequency/regularity of breakfast, respectively. Because some dietary habits/behaviors are related closely to their nutritional knowledge, the high school students need the systematic and steady nutritional education to apply their known nutritional knowledge to actual life.

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.

최근 사회경제적 환경의 변화는 개인의 식품 소비에도 많 은 영향을 주었으며, 외식의 비중 또한 크게 증가하였다. 외 식의 증가로 건강에 미치는 영향력이 커짐에 따라 올바른 음 식선택을 위한 영양성분이나 건강정보를 알려주는 영양표시 의 중요성이 강조되고 있다. 그러나 아직은 외식업체 영양표 시가 의무사항은 아니며 외식 시 소비자들의 영양표시 활용 에 대한 인식 또한 부족한 것이 사실이다. 특히 한식 메뉴에 대한 영양표시 연구는 거의 없는 실정으로 영양표시를 통한 영양관리의 중요성을 강조하고, 한식당 영양표시제도 마련을 위한 기초자료를 제공하고자 하였다. 본 연구는 일부 경기지 역에 거주하는 20세 이상의 성인을 대상으로 2010년 2월 5일 부터 2월 27일까지 한식당 영양표시에 대한 설문조사를 실시 하였고, SPSS 18.0 package program을 이용하여 일반적 특성, 영양표시에 대한 인식, 일반적 특성에 따른 영양표시 내용과 영양성분별 중요성 차이 등을 분석하였다. 본 연구의 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 조사 대상자는 전체 268명으로 여자(60.4%)가 남자(39.6%) 보다 많았으며, 연령은 50대 이상(40.3%)이 가장 많았다. 학 력은 고졸(47.8%)과 대졸(42.2%)이 전체의 90.0%로 대부분을 차지하였으며, 외식횟수는 한 달에 3~4회가 54.5%로 가장 많 았다. 2. 한식당 메뉴 영양표시 요구도는 3.99점으로 높았으며, 메뉴 선택 시 영양표시 활용의지(3.89) 또한 높았다. 영양표 시 내용으로는 건강이나 영양관련 정보제공이 4.06점으로 가 장 높았으며, 식재료와 영양소의 설명 3.93점, 1인 분량의 표 시 3.77점이었다. 3. 영양표시를 원하는 영양소로는 나트륨이 4.16점으로 가 장 높았으며, 그 다음으로는 콜레스테롤(4.15), 열량(4.04), 지 방(3.93), 칼슘(3.84), 단백질(3.83), 당질(3.71)의 순이었다. 4. 일반적 특성에 따른 한식당 영양표시 요구도와 활용의 지 차이 분석 결과, 영양표시 요구도는 여성(4.05)이 남성(3.91) 보다 높아 유의적인 차이(p<0.01)가 있었으며, 20대가 4.29점 으로 가장 높았으며, 학력은 대졸(4.15)이 높아 유의적인 차 이가 있었다(p<0.01). 영양표시 활용의지는 여성(3.97)이 남성 (3.77)보다 높았으며(p<0.01), 영양표시에 대한 요구도가 높은 경우에 활용의지 또한 높은 것으로 나타났다. 5. 일반적 특성에 따른 영양표시 내용으로는 1인 분량에 대한 중요성은 여성(3.89)이 남성(3.58)보다 높아 차이가 있었 으며(p<0.01), 중졸(3.13), 고졸(3.70), 대졸(3.90), 대학원졸(4.08) 순으로 학력이 높을수록 차이(p<0.01)를 보였다. 식재료와 영 양소에 대한 설명은 여성이 4.02점으로 남성 3.77점에 비해 유의적 차이가 있었으며(p<0.01), 학력이 높을수록 식재료와 영양소를 중요하게 생각하고 있음을 알 수 있었다(p<0.05). 건강이나 영양정보 제공은 50대 이상이 4.18점으로 높아 유 의적인 차이가 있었다(p<0.05). 6. 한식 메뉴의 영양표시가 식생활에 미치는 영향은 남성 (3.73)보다는 여성(4.01)이 컸으며(p<0.001), 학력이 높을수록 영향이 큰 것으로 나타났다(p<0.01). 본 연구결과, 한식당에서의 영양표시에 대한 소비자들의 요구도가 높고, 건강한 외식을 위한 메뉴 선택 시 활용의지 또한 높은 것으로 나타나, 영양표시가 건강한 식생활 영위를 위한 중요한 교육도구가 될 수 있을 것으로 보인다. 특히 여 성들이 영양표시에 대한 관심이 높은 것을 알 수 있었으며, 일반적 특성에 따라 영양표시 내용이나 영양소에 대한 차이 가 있는 것으로 나타나, 외식업체에서는 운영 메뉴와 주고객 층에 맞는 차별화된 영양표시 방안의 마련이 경쟁력 확보에 도움이 될 것으로 사료된다.

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.

The purpose of this study was to develop measures for establishing and enforcing legal nutrition labeling for Takju based on results from consumer awareness surveys, statistical model development, and evaluation of nutrients. The statistical model developed with consumer survey results showed that consumers would like to know the nutrients they intake from drinking Takju, as their awareness about Takju was low. Specifically, consumers would like to see information regarding alcohol content, calories, carbohydrates, and saccharides on the label. Structural equations from the research model showed that consumers who had some knowledge of Takju also had positive thoughts of the nutrition fact labels for Takju. Evaluation of nutrients in Takju showed that the starch sources and other ingredients used in Takju fermentation did not influence nutrient facts, and nutrient concentrations also varied among the different Takju. In addition, this research suggests methods for consumers to make reasonable selections and to inform them of the nutrition fact labeling for Takju. Benners and pop-up were manufactured to promote voluntary participation of companies and to provide nutrition facts from Takju. Eventually, a measure was suggested to establish and enforce nutrition labeling, using results from consumer and nutrient surveys of Takju.

The purpose of this study was to determine differences in perception of weight management, balanced food intake, knowledge of obesity, and nutrition knowledge in university students. The average weight and height of male subjects were 175.0±5.7cm and 69.1±11.8kg, whereas those of female subjects were 161.7±5.0cm and 51.7±6.9kg, respectively. Average scores for balanced food intake were not significantly different between male and female students. The total number of correct answers for obesity knowledge was not significantly different according to gender, but four responses related with losing weight showed higher perception scores in females compared to males (p〈0.05). The total number of correct answers for nutrition knowledge was not significantly different between males and females. The average BMI of male and female subjects were 22.5±3.44 and 19.7±2.21, respectively, ranged in normality. Self-evaluation of body shape was mostly in the normal or standard range in both males and females, but females showed a higher perception rate of chubby or fat than males. The percentages of interest in weight management was 36.0% in males and 50.8% in females, with higher interest in female subjects (p〈0.01).

This study focused on the yearly-dietary habits, nutrition status, and health of female students residing in Seoul. A number of classes were assess based on their dietary behaviors in oder to attempt to determine differences in their attitudes to nutrition, according to age. The students of class 2011 (sophomore) ate meals more regularly than the female students of the 2008 class (p<0.05). It was found that sophomore female students of class 2008 consumed higher than average nutrient intake. Sophomore female students of the 2011 class consumed lower than average vitamin B₂, C, Ca, and Fe intakes. Folic acid in take was lower than average in both groups. Phosphorus and sodium intakes in both groups were excessive (p<0.05). When surveyed, sophomore female students of the 2008 class believed that the most important thing for health was exercise, whereas students of class 2011 believed that nutrient intake was the most important factor (p<0.05). Female students of the 2008 class exercised 1～2 times a week generally, whereas students of class 2011 exercised three times (43.2%) (p<0.05). Therefore, it is necessary to study changes in dietary habits and health status according to the age of students, and develop specific nutrition education programs for female students.

Atopic related skin symptoms must be controlled continually. Because it is involved with food, eating behaviors play an important role in the prevention and management of atopic dermatitis. The aim of this study was to develop and apply nutrition education program for the prevention and management of atopic dermatitis on elementary school students. After applying the nutrition education program, our research attempts to evaluate the effectiveness of such nutrition education program. This study examined the effects of a nutrition education program on atopic dermatitis-related snacking behaviors, eating attitudes, and food behaviors. Subjects were 3rd grade elementary school students in Daejeon. A 6-week nutrition education program was implemented to 97 children as the educated group and another 94 children were included in the study as the control group. A self-administered questionnaire was used to assess the effects of nutrition education program. As results, eating attitudes reached significant improvement by the nutrition education program(p<0.05). In a paired t-test, the control group did not show significant difference, but the educated group showed a significant difference. In snacking behaviors, the two groups did not show statistical difference except for some considering factors. Also, there were no significant differences of the two groups after nutrition education program, except the snacking place after the nutrition education group. However, in the educated group, the types of snacks made by mothers increased 17.5% from 40.2% to 57.7%, and in-house as snacking place increased 13.4% from 68% to 81.4%. In the results of before and after the nutrition education program, the program showed some effect on the prevention and management of atopic dermatitis. Therefore, these results showed foundation for nutritional education and various educational programs are needed afterward to increase the effect of nutrition education in the prevention and management policy related to atopic dermatitis.

The purpose of this study was to compare convenience food purchasing behaviors and food habits. The study, which asked surveyed 131 female college students in Daejeon, in 2011, on how they used nutrition labels. The subjects were divided into two groups, in terms of the way they checked examined nutrition labels: a "Check" group(n=62, 47.3%) and a "No check" group(n=69, 52.7%). Reasons given for not reading nutrition labelings were "a habit of buying" for 72.2%, and "too small or rude" for 19.1%. The "Check" group reported higher interest in nutrition(p<0.001) and hygiene(p<0.01) than the "No check" group. Those who used the labels had higher cereal(p<0.01) and vegetable(p<0.01) consumption and a lower intake of fast foods(p<0.05). But however, most of the subjects(65.6%) chose by taste, at the time they purchased the convenience foods. The subjects considered "expiry date"(n=87, 66.4%) to be more important information on food labels than "nutrient composition"(n=11, 8.4%). The number of products whose nutrition labels were checked by over 50% was five out of 12. In conclusion, our study suggests that proper use of nutrition labeling may improve food choices and enable healthy dietary practices. Further efforts are needed to provide the public with nutrition education programs on how to read nutrition labeling. Modifying nutrition labels to make them easier for the public to understand should also be considered.

본 연구는 온실 내에서 선망 등 유채 6품종과 4계통에 대해 지하수(대조구) 및 해수 염 농도별 처리(해수 EC 4, 8,16 dS m−1)를 통해 염분에 대한 유채의 생리반응과 품종간내염성 차이를 조사하고자 수행 되었다. 해수 염 처리에 따른 유채 경장은 해수 염 농도의 증가에 반비례하였고, 해수 염농도 EC 8 dS m−1 이상 처리구에서 급격히 감소하였다. 종실수량도 염 농도가 높아짐에 따라 급격히 감소하였으며, 염 농도 8 dS m−1 이상에서 종실수량이 비교적 높았던 품종은 탐미유채, 탐라유채, 선망으로 나타난 반면, 내한유채과 목포114호는 종실 수량이 급속히 감소하여 품종간 내염성 차이를 확인하였다. 종자 지방산 조성을 분석한 결과 올레인산 함량이해수 EC 4 dS m−1 처리구에서 소폭으로 증가(0.2~3.4%)를 보이다가 해수 EC 8 또는 16 dS m−1 처리구에서 감소하였다.하지만, 올레인산을 제외한 나머지 지방산 조성에는 큰 차이가 없었다. 해수 염 농도별 처리에 따른 유채 유묘의 무기이온들을 분석한 결과, Na+와 Mg2+ 함량은 급격히 증가하였고,K+는 감소하였다. 식물체 내의 이러한 무기이온의 함량 변화와 토양환경의 높은 염 농도가 유채 생육 억제 및 수량 저하와 밀접한 관계가 있는 것으로 추정된다. 염분 농도가 높은 신간척지에서 작물을 재배하기 위해서는발아기와 생육초기에 내염성에 강하고, 생육후기에 수량성이높은 유채 품종을 선발하여 이용하는 것이 가장 효과적인 대안이다.

To promote use of nutrition labels, degrees of awareness, use, and satisfaction of nutrition labeling on eating-out menus were investigated by a self-recorded questionnaire from May to July 2010 in 629 participants who visited four bakery chains (n=409) and three ice-cream chains (n=220) located in Daejeon. Of the subjects 53.4% were female, 68.8% aged 20~29 years, and 59.3% visited bakery or ice-cream stores 1~3 times per month. Only 38.2% of participants had knowledge of nutrition-labeling mandates for eating-out menus, and 74.9% had seen labels before in bakery and ice-cream stores. Most subjects understood calorie amount and daily value of sodium very well, but they failed to understand the meaning of daily value. Only 21.2% of the subjects understood nutrition label information completely. Of the participants, 46.7% read nutrition labels in bakery or ice-cream stores when purchasing. Among the subjects who read the labels, 77.2% (36.1% of total subjects) referred to the label information when selecting a menu and 46.9% (21.9% of total subjects) had experienced altering their menu choice based on the information. Exactly 53.3% of subjects answered they did not read nutrition labels since they were not interested or had no time, or because the labels were not noticeable. Satisfaction of the place, timing, and format of nutrition labels at bakery and ice-cream stores fell below average overall. Many subjects wanted trans fat and cholesterol to be added to the labels. In conclusion, degrees of perception, use, and satisfaction of nutrition labels at bakery and ice-cream stores were still low. More effective publicity and consumer education about nutrition labeling will be necessary, and bakery or ice-cream companies should make efforts to improve nutrition labeling such as providing format and place.
