The aim of this cross sectional study was to examine the prevalence of sarcopenia in association with ADL, nutritional status and depression among community dwelling elderly women. The study subjects were 90 elderly women, 65 years and over, who were living in the communities of B and D metropolitan cities from May to July, 2014. The measurements were anthropometric measures, The mini-nutritional assessment instrument (MNA), ADL, IADL, MMSE, and SGDS-K were used. The mean age of the subjects was 74.7(8.22), the prevalence of sarcopenia of this population was 37.8%, almost none of them (94.4%) required assistance in ADL, 15.6% had a risk of undernutrition, and 12.2% had the symptom of depression. The sarcopenic subjects were characterized as low income, low education, living alone, and had more co-morbidity than those of the non-sarcopenic subjects. The sarcopenic subjects were undernourished, and had higher depression scores (SGDS-K), but not in the ADL, than those of the non-sarcopenic subjects. The calf and thigh circumferences, and cognitive ability were the best predictors of sarcopenia, In conclusion, low calf and thigh circumferences and low cognitive ability will increase the risk of sarcopenia in those 65 and over in community dwelling facilities and those three predictors will be useful in the early detection of sarcopenia in the future.

This study examined yearly trend of sugar-sweetened beverage(SSB) intake and compared nutritional status by SSB intake level in middle school students aged 12~14 years(n=2,543) using the data from 2007~2015 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. SSB included carbonated drinks, sports drinks, and caffeinated drinks contained added sugar. Subjects were classified into three groups by SSB intake level obtained from 24-hour recall method: SSB 1(SSB intake 0 g/d), SSB 2(0 g/d < SSB intake < 50th percentile) and SSB 3(SSB intake ≥ 50th percentile). Result of daily intake of SSB was 76.1±6.2 g/d for boys and 59.5±4.7 g/d for girls and it was increased significantly for boys(p-trend 0.0004) and girls(p-trend 0.0038) by year. The most intakes were carbonated drinks followed by fruit juices and sports drinks for boys and girls. Percentage of daily intake compared to the dietary reference was increased for energy and iron while was decreased for calcium and vitamin C toward SSB 3 group. Ratio of excess intake of energy/fat was increased significantly for boys(p=0.0091) and girls(p<0.0001) toward SSB 3 group. Ratio of calcium deficiency was 86.8~94.9% for boys and girls and it was very high. Therefore, it should be emphasized to reduce SSB intake and drink plain water without added sugar, etc. and milk as a source of calcium for improving nutritional status of middle school students through dietary education and social support.

Purpose: This study examined the yearly trend of milk consumption and the nutritional status of subjects aged 6-18 years using the 2007-2015 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data. Methods: Milk and dairy products were classified into plain milk, flavored milk, and dairy products (ice cream, milkshakes, cheese, and yogurt, etc.). This study compared the milk and dairy products intakes, some nutrients intakes and percent of dietary reference intakes for Koreans in the milk intake and non-milk intake groups. Results: Plain milk intake decreased with year (male, p = 0.0199; female, p < 0.0001; elementary school, p = 0.0013; high school, p = 0.0061), whereas flavored milk and dairy products intake in these subjects increased with year. In all subjects, 49.9% of subjects did not drink milk at all. The intakes of energy, protein, fat, calcium, phosphorus, and riboflavin in the milk intake group were significantly higher than those in the non-milk intake group, even after adjusting for covariates (p < 0.05). The odds ratio of the prevalence of nutritional deficiency in the non-milk intake group was 3.2 times higher than that of the milk intake group (p < 0.001), even after adjusting for covariates. The odds ratio for the prevalence of excess intake of the energy/fat was not significant with milk intake. Conclusion: The prevalence of milk intake decreased every year in the subjects. Calcium deficiency and nutritional deficiency were very high in the non-milk intake group. Efforts should be made to improve the calcium status in children and adolescents by strengthening nutrition education about the importance of milk intake.

The purpose of this study is to provide fundamental information for snack development contributing to physical growth of children with cerebral palsy. The study was conducted on the children with cerebral palsy of age 1 to 7 by investigating their food behavior, physical growth development, nutritional status, and snack intake. As a result of assessing physical growth by WLI (Weight-Length Index), the proportions of the children with cerebral palsy were the following: underweight 45.5%, normal 45.5%, overweight 6.0%, and obesity 3.0%. The mothers of the children with cerebral palsy mainly bought milk and dairy products for their children's snacks (43.5%) as well as fruits (33.3%). They wanted development of new snacks that helped growth development (50.5%), and preferred more development of the following snacks: Korean rice cakes (47.5%), biscuits (24.2%), bread (22.3%). The result of dietary intake showed that the percentage of RI in zinc and folic acid did not reach the RI in every age categories. The proportion of subjects with less than 75% of RI was 76.8% for the zinc and folic acid, and 52.4% for the calcium and iron. These results indicate that children with cerebral palsy had slower physical development and lesser nutrition intake than normal children. Hence, this study provided the basis to develop the snack for the malnutrition state children with cerebral palsy which helped their physical development. The shape of new snack considered was a rice cake which included zinc and folic acid that were insufficient in RI in children with cerebral palsy.

건강관련 요인에 따른 우리나라 성인 여성의 영양섭취 특성을 파악하기 위해 2001 국민건강ㆍ영양조사-영양조사부문의 결과를 심층 분석하였다. 2001 국민건강ㆍ영양조사는 2001년 11월 1일부터 12월 31일까지 전국 200개 지역에서 약 4,000가구, 14,000명을 대상으로 실시되었으며, 본 연구에서는 응답자 중 20세 이상 성인여성 3,780명의 데이터만을 활용하였다. 이들의 연령, 소득수준, 건강 인식도, 비만도 및 체중인식 등에 따른 영양소 섭취수준을 비교하였으며, 평균값의 차이에 대한 유의성 검증에는 1-way ANOVA와 Duncan's multiple range test를 적용하였다. 분석의 대상이 된 성인 여성 응답자의 구성은 20∼29세가 696명, 30∼49세가 1,765명, 50∼64세가 757명, 65세 이상이 562명이었다. 20세 이상 모든 성인 여성의 영양소별 영양권장량에 대한 평균 섭취수준을 보면 칼슘의 경우에 67%로 가장 낮았으며 다른 영양소의 경우에는 권장량에 근접하는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 연령층별로 비교하면 철의 섭취수준은 20대 여성에서 가장 낮은 반면, 나머지 영양소의 섭취 수준은 65세 이상 연령층에서 가장 낮았다. 2001년 가구원 수 별 최저 생계비를 기준(100%)으로 하여 가구소득을 100% 미만, 100∼199%, 200∼299%, 300% 이상 4 구간으로 분류한 소득수준에 따른 영양소 섭취수준을 비교한 결과, 전체적으로는 소득수준이 높아질수록 평균 영양소 섭취수준이 높아지고, 가구 소득이 저생계비 미만인 그룹에서 거의 모든 영양소의 섭취수준이 가장 낮게 나타났으나, 55세 이상 연령층에서는 소득수준이 영양소 섭취 수준에 영향을 미치지 않았다. BMI를 기준으로 저체중군, 정상체중군, 과체중군으로 분류한 비만도 그룹별 영양소 섭취수준을 비교한 결과, 전체적인 영양소의 섭취수준이 정상체중군에서 높고 저체중군에서 가장 낮았으며, 특히 65세 이상 연령층의 저체중군의 섭취수준은 매우 낮아서 칼슘과 비타민 A의 경우 권장량의 40% 대에 불과했다. 자신의 체형에 대한 인식에 근거해 영양소 섭취수준을 비교해 보면, 20대에서는 자신이 말랐다고 인식하는 그룹에서 섭취수준이 다소 낮게 나타났으나 30∼49세에서는 말랐다고 인식하는 그룹의 영양소 섭취수준이 오히려 높은 것으로 나타나 연령에 따라 다른 경향을 보였다. 건강 인식도에 따른 분석 결과, 스스로가 건강하지 못하다고 생각하는 그룹에 비해 건강하다고 인식하는 그룹에서 철을 제외한 모든 영양소의 섭취수준이 유의적으로 높게 나타났다. 이상으로부터 우리나라 여성 중 65세 이상 노인과 최저생계비 미만의 저소득 가구 여성의 영양소 섭취 수준이 심각하게 낮으며, 소득 수준 차상위 계층(100∼199%) 여성의 섭취 상태도 관심을 기울여야 할 수준임을 알 수 있었다. 동시에 자신의 건강이나 체형에 대한 인식이 부정적일수록 섭취수준이 불량하여 한국 여성의 건강과 올바른 영양관리를 위해서는 여성 스스로의 긍정적인 사고 또한 중요한 영향 요인인 것으로 나타났다.

Comparing the amount of Hb, the nutriture of the deaf-mutes are better than that of the amentias and the nursery school children. The former, however, shows less condition than that of the boys and girls in the junior physical education school (Hb : 12.7) and the normal family children (Hb : 10.8). In the group of six to eleven years old that is a class a elementary school, the physical condition such as stature, chest circumference, and weight of the deaf -mute is respectively almost the same degree, which is above standard in our country. On the contrary the degree of the amentias and the nursery school children has an inferiority approaching to the standard. In the group of twelve to fifteen years old that is a class of junior high school, the nursery school children have the lowest physical condition and the boys and girls of the physical training school the highest. The order of the growth of physical condition is as follows : Nursery school children

This study was conducted to investigate seasonal changes of microbiological counts and sanitation state on the surface of food service facilities and utilities of elementary schools in Busan area. Samples swabbed using sponge were collected from the surface of food service facilities and utilities, that is ceiling, wall, floor, trench, grease trap, hood, pest control net and dumb waiter, and analyzed by measuring the total plate, coliform and Salmonella spp. count. The total plate counts at foodservice facilities and utilities except ceiling and wall were ranged from 10$^4$∼10$^{6}$ CFU/100 $\textrm{cm}^2$. The coliform counts were ranged from 10$^2$∼10$^4$ CFU/100 $\textrm{cm}^2$ at foodservice facilities and utilities except ceiling. The grease trap was the severely contaminated facility. It was indicated that the sanitary condition at the foodservice facilities and utilities except ceiling and wall should be improved promptly. As a result of investigating the seasonal changes of microbiological counts, floor, trench, grease trap and dumb waiter should be carried out disinfection before foodserving everyday in summer season, and the disinfection frequencies of wall, hood and pest control net should not be less than three times per week. In winter season floor, trench, and dumb waiter should be carried out disinfection after foodserving, grease trap should be carried out disinfection before foodserving everyday and the disinfection frequencies of wall, hood and pest control net should not be less than twice per week.

The purpose of this study was to compare the dietary life and nutrient intakes among elderly persons residing at nursing homes and their homes in order to provide fundamental data for improved foodservice and dietary management. We recruited 150 subjects at a nursing home stay and 150 home stay elderly persons for a survey. The results were as follows. There was no significant difference in frequency of napping between the two groups. The frequency of going out was higher in the home stay subjects, but regular exercise was higher in nursing home stay subjects. Subjects possessed the following diseases: dementia and digestive disorders for nursing home stay elderly men, blood vessel disorder and diabetes for home stay elderly men, digestive and blood vessel disorders for nursing home stay elderly women, and blood vessel and heart disease for home stay elderly women. In a health-related assessment, smoking, drinking, and teeth condition of nursing home stay subjects were not higher than those of home stay subjects. The ratio of subjects who ate meals everyday was higher in nursing home stay elderly women than in home stay women. While most nursing home subjects ate adequate amount of meals, home stay subjects ate until they were full. The daily energy intakes of men and women were 2,229.9 kcal and 2,302.1 kcal for nursing home subjects and 1,894.0 kcal and 1,885.9 kcal for home subjects, respectively. Nutrient intake was also higher in nursing home than home stay subjects. In summary, the dietary life of elderly persons residing in a nursing home was higher than that of elderly persons residing at their home from the view point of meal frequency, meal intake, and nutrient intakes. Therefore, systematic assessment and management of nutrition for elderly staying at a nursing home or at home alone should be conducted continually.

This study was performed to know about the characteristics of geochemicals of sampling sites in Suncheon bay. Salinity and parameters of water pollution as COD, DIN and DIP showed typical character of an estuary with its values higher at the end of estuary and gradually lowering at the up stream. The value of Excess DIN showed positive so the phosphorus appeared in a role as limiting nutrient. As quoted results of correlation analysis of SPSS and PCA, salinity was revealed as a main factor of control for water qualities at sampling sites in Suncheon bay. The Mz of wet lands and intertidal zone in Sun-cheon bay showed a variation of 6.74 to $8.52{\phi}$ and the sorting also to appeared poorly sorted to very poorly sorted. The fractional composition of phosphorus in phosphorus of sediments were high and appeared orderly as redisual-P> NAI-P> apatite-P> absorbed-P. The labile-Phosphorus showed high concentration then the other station. It means that phosphorus of these stations can easily move from the deposit to the water column than another station.
