The subjects consisted of 60 healthy men who absence of cardiopulmonary diseases, orthopedic diseases, and metabolic diseases. The difference of physical fitness, body composition, cardiovascular risk factors, and psychological characteristics for security guards' working type were examined using one-way ANOVA through SPSS 12.0 version and was treated for the post hoc test when the difference appeared significantly. According to the result, first, there were higher level for the physical fitness according to the security guards' position and it increases body composition and cardiovascular risk factors from higher position. Second, physical fitness level is higher, body composition and cardiovascular risk factors is lower in the security guards for the field service than the security guards on inside duty according to the security guards' working type. Third, it decreases body composition and cardiovascular risk level when the physical fitness level is getting increase for the security guards. In conclusion, it needs to have a physical activity with aerobic system for the security guards of leading members and inside service to decrease the overweight or obesity and cardiovascular risk level.

뇌졸중, 심근경색 등의 심혈관질환은 암과 더불어 우리나라의 주요 사망원인이다. 2002년 통계청이 발표한 2001년 사망원인통계를 보면 인구 10만명 당 암이 123.5명으로 1위, 뇌졸중 등 뇌혈관 질환이 73.8명으로 2위, 심장질환(허혈성 심장질환과 기타 심장질환 포함)이 34.2명으로 3위였다. 이러한 심혈관질환의 예방을 위해서는 평소 뇌혈관질환을 일으킬 수 있는 위험인자들을 잘 관리할 필요가 있다. 사망률이 높은 심혈관질환의 주요 위험요인은 성별, 연령 등 선천적으로 타고나는 고정요인과 흡연, 비만 등 본인의 노력에 따라 생활습관을 바꿔 위험을 낮출 수 있는 변동요인으로 나눌 수 있다. 성별, 연령은 바꿀수 없지만 생활습관은 바꿀 수 있다. 심혈관 질환 예방에 있어서 가장 중요한 것은 기본적인 건강관리 수칙인 금연, 과음하지 않기, 균형있는 올바른 식생활, 규칙적인 운동, 표준체중 유지하기, 정기검진 등이다.특히 심혈관 질환은 채소류와 식물성 단백질, 식물성 지방 등을 위주로 한 식이요법이 도움을 줄 수 있고 튼튼한 혈관을 가지기 위해서 질 좋은 단백질과 비타민ㆍ무기질을 충분히 섭취해야 하며 콜레스테롤의 배설을 돕기 위해 섬유소가 충분한 식사를 한다. 갑자기 추워진 날씨로 생명을 다투는 뇌졸중이나 협심증, 심근경색 등 심혈관 관련 질병이 발생하기 쉬운 겨울철이다. 행사가 많은 연말에 과음을 삼가며 금연하고, 평소 담백한 한식 위주의 식사, 꾸준한 운동 등으로 건강관리에 힘써서 치명적인 심혈관 질환에 미리미리 대비하도록 한다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of cardiocerebrovascular disease prevention program on cardiovascular risk factors and quality of life in the elderly. A non-equivalent control group pretest-posttest design was used. Participants were 44 elderly who registered at the public health center. The experimental group(n=22) received the cardiocerebrovascular disease prevention program for the elderly 8 times. There were significant differences in the systolic blood pressure(t=-2.419, p= .020), diastolic blood pressure(t=-2.226, p= .031), blood glucose(t=-2.071, p= .045) and quality of life(t=2.511, p= .016) between the experimental group and the control group. The results suggest that cardiovascular disease prevention program can be an effective strategy to reduce cardiovascular risk factors and improve the quality of life of the elderly.

당뇨병은 심근 경색의 재발 위험이나 심혈관 질환에 의한 사망 위험이 높다는 것은 잘 알려진 사실로 당뇨병 자체로도 관상동맥질환이 있는 것과 같이 대등한 위험인자로 취급하도록 권고되고 있다. 이러한 당뇨병에 이상지질혈증, 고혈압, 복부비만이 동반되어 있는 경우를 대사증후군으로 명명하기도 하며 심혈관질환 위험이 훨씬 증가한다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of education and counselling-based cardiac rehabilitation program on cardiovascular risk, health behavior and quality of life in elderly with coronary artery disease. Methods: A quasi-experimental study used a non-equivalent control group pre-post test design. A five week education and counselling-based cardiac rehabilitation program for the elderly with coronary artery disease was developed and offered to the experimental group. Participants were drawn from hospital in Busan. Twenty two were selected for the experimental group while 22 were assigned to a control group. Cardiovascular risk, health behavior and quality of life were measured. Results: There was a statistically significant difference in the cardiovascular risk(U=118.5, p=.002), health behaviors(t=5.200, p=<.001) and quality of life(t=2.431, p=.001) between the experimental group and the control group. Conclusion: Education and counselling-based cardiac rehabilitation program can be not only an effective nursing intervention for old patients having coronary artery disease, but also the very basis of further research on aged people who have the same symptom.

Studies on assessment tools for predicting cardiovascular disease risk (CDR), along with the studies to prevent CDR have been consistently reported. The validity of the Framingham risk score (FRS), a commonly known tool, has been verified through the precedent studies. In this study, we examined the differences of FRS according to the application of categories of LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) or Total cholesterol (TC), and attempted to evaluate the agreement of 10 yr CHD risk judgment based on the above-mentioned application. Excluding those diagnosed as cardiovascular diseases, data on subjects (755 men and 775 women) from the 2011 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were used. We found differences of FRS and 10 yr CHD risk depending on the application of categories of LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) or Total cholesterol (TC). FRS of TC points were higher than those of LDL-C in both men and women. In classification of low risk (<10%), intermediate risk (10~19%), and high risk (${\geq}20%$), there were disagreements for 106 men and 26 women. Women showed almost perfect agreement from Coefficient of Cohen's Kappa (0.718 in men, and 0.884 in women). In assessment of 10 yr CHD risk, R-squared value from regression including TC was higher than that of LDC-C in both men and women (0.972 vs 0.885). From this result, we can draw a conclusion that correlation coefficients of FRS and CHD risk including TC were higher than those of LDC-C, and women showed a greater degree of agreement than men.

A lot of studies have investigated the role of psychosocial and behavioral risk factors in the etiology and pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease. On the basis of prospective population studies that found a relationship between Type A behavior and cardiac morbidity and mortality independent of traditional risk factors, Type A behavior was declared a risk factor for the development of coronary heart disease. Additionally, recently proposed, a new personality construct, Type D personality have been reported to be associated with the increased risk for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. In Korea, however, there were few studies about these issues. This article attempts to provide an overview of accumulating evidences on the Type A behavioral pattern and Type D personality related with cardiovascular disease to offer new directions for research.

This study aimed to identify the risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) among age groups using the Framingham risk score (FRS). The research design used was a cross sectional descriptive study using the Sixth Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 2013-2015. Data from 5211 men, between the ages of 30-74 was analyzed. After adjusting for age, the result of logistic regression analysis showed that obesity (OR=2.51 95% CI=2.05-3.07), physical inactivity (OR=1.71, 95% CI=1.39-2.10), heavy alcohol drinking (OR=1.33, 95% CI=1.09-1.62), and dietary fiber intake (OR=0.99, 95% CI=0.98-0.99) were presented as predictors of CVD. Obesity was considered to be a particularly important predictor of CVD for young and middle-aged men. This result will be used for developing intervention relating to lifestyle modification for young and middle-aged men.

This study examined the contribution of the risk factors that cause cardiovascular disease in Koreans. The subjects were 20,012 adults aged 30~74 years who were enrolled from the 2005~2013 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, had filled the risk factors data, and had no cardiovascular disease history. Data analysis was conducted using SAS 9.3, and a weighted composite sample design analysis was performed. The contribution was obtained by applying a squared semi-partial correlation. As a result, they were higher in the order of age (63.9%), smoking (17.3%), systolic blood pressure (7.9%), diabetes (6.9%), antihypertensive medication use (3.0%), and BMI (0.9%) in men. In women, the contributions were in the order of age (54.1%), systolic blood pressure (23.5%), diabetes (13.6%), antihypertensive medication use (5.1%), smoking (3.1%), and BMI (0.6%%). According to age bracket analysis, smoking (51.8~33.7%) was the biggest risk factor, followed in order by age (26.6%) in their 30s and systolic blood pressure (17.3~21.0%) in those older than 40 years in men. In women, the systolic blood pressure (56.2~40.5%) was the main contributor to the risk factors, followed by age (24.0%) in their 30s and diabetes (13.6~32.6%) in those older than 40 years. The contribution of the income level was similar. Therefore, to prevent cardiovascular disease, various programs that reflect the contributions of the risk factors should be developed. Moreover, it is recommended to use the results shown in this study as basic data.
