This study was performed to determine health-related dietary and lifestyle of characteristic factors associated with sodium hyperingestion of korean adults by sexual difference. Study subjects were 30~69years (n=1,622) adults who participated in the 2010 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES V-1). Subjects were divided into the hyperingestion group (HG, n=1,494) and normal ingestion group (NG, n=128) by 'WHO growth standard sodium intakes(2,000mg/day)' and the relationships between Comparison of demographics and physical measurement, eating behaviors and health-related factors were analyzed. By logistic regression method, risk factors for sodium hyperingestion group revealed in this study were gender(female), number of family', 'breakfast', 'lunch', 'dinner', 'nutrition labeling use'. and In case of male, risk factors for sodium hyperingestion group were 'lunch', 'dinner', 'self-rated body image' of eating behaviors. In case of female, Which were number of family' of demographics, 'breakfast', 'lunch', 'dinner' of eating behaviors. In these results, according to different sexual aspect of sodium hyperingestion, we suggest that nutrition label use and proper nutrition intake criteria among sexual, recognition promotion campaign along with education program for repressed sodium hyperingestion related to hypertension prevention of korean adults should include eating habits improvement and demographics lifestyle modification.

The purpose of this study was to estimate the change of prevalence rate of obesity, also to know the relevant factors for 10 years in korean adults, which targets on the 5,420(4,556 men and 864 women) people who had undergone one biennial medical health check-up through the National Health Insurance Corporation from 1997 to 2007. As a results, the prevalence rate of obesity increased 11.0% point from 20.9% in the initial year(1997) to 31.9% in the final year(2007) for the recent decades and this is related to the socio-demographic characteristics, health-related, and eating habits.

Recently, there is a trend of developing various identification and prediction models for hypertension using clinical information based on artificial intelligence and machine learning around the world. However, most previous studies on identification or prediction models of hypertension lack the consideration of the ideas of non-invasive and cost-effective variables, race, region, and countries. Therefore, the objective of this study is to present hypertension prediction model that is easily understood using only general and simple sociodemographic variables. Data used in this study was based on the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2018). In men, the model using the naive Bayes with the wrapper-based feature subset selection method showed the highest predictive performance (ROC = 0.790, kappa = 0.396). In women, the model using the naive Bayes with correlation-based feature subset selection method showed the strongest predictive performance (ROC = 0.850, kappa = 0.495). We found that the predictive performance of hypertension based on only sociodemographic variables was higher in women than in men. We think that our models based on machine leaning may be readily used in the field of public health and epidemiology in the future because of the use of simple sociodemographic characteristics.
