This study was done to explore the level of physiologic health status and health promotion lifestyle, and its contributing factors of Korean older adults. A total of 209 older adults participated in this study that ran from July 2 to July 6, 2004 in the waiting area of the subways of Seoul. The average age of the respondents was 67 years old with 39.2% considering themselves as healthy, 71.3% stating they regularly exercised and 71.8% knowing their own blood pressure. Among the participants 44% were classified as having high or low blood pressure and 44.5% showing abnormal blood sugar. The mean score of health promotion lifestyle was 2.75 and the order of its subcategories was interpersonal relationship, nutrition, stress management, spiritual growth, physical activities, and health responsibilities. This score was altered by exercise and knowing personal blood pressure. As a result of this study, it is important for older adults to know their own blood pressure and to exercise regularly to promote good health. In addition, health promotion programs should be developed and implemented based on the influencing factors.

현대 사회에서 운동 부족의 원인은 바로 빠른 삶을 추구하는 우리나라 사람들의 성향에 있다고 볼 수 있다. 이런 현대사회에서 빠른 삶을 추구할수록 사람들은 단기간에 많은 효과를 보려고 무리한 운동을 한다. 갑작스러운 운동은 우리 몸에 이로운 것이 아니라 스트레스를 쌓이게 하고 이렇게 쌓인 스트레스는 고혈압, 심근경색, 뇌졸중 등 심혈관계 질환에 영향을 미치는 중요한 위험요인이다. 혈압은 정서적 긴장이나 주위 환경 및 활동에 따라서 변동하기 때문에 갑작스런 운동은 혈압에 좋지 않은 영향을 줄 수 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 갑작스런 운동량에 따른 혈압 변화와 얼굴색과의 상관성을 알아보기 위해 운동량에 따른 혈압 변화와 얼굴 영역 추출 후 얼굴영역에 나타나는 색상 변화를 Lab 값 중 a값의 변화를 비교, 분석하였다.

Purpose: This study was performed to investigate the effect of shift work on diurnal blood pressure (BP) pattern in nurses. Method: We studied 20 healthy nurses engaged in 3 shift work. 24-hour ambulatory BP monitoring was performed to each nurse two times during the day and night shift. Five nurses were excluded because of inadequate BP measurement. Results: All subjects were female. The mean age was 27.4 years (range: 23-33 years) and mean body mass index was 19.7 Kg/$m^2$ (range: 18.0-21.2 Kg/$m^2$). The changes of systolic BP ($17.8{\pm}9.1$ vs. $13.2{\pm}4.7%$, p=0.031), diastolic BP ($22.3{\pm}8.7$ vs. $17.3{\pm}9.0%$, p=0.061), and heart rate ($25.2{\pm}5.2$ vs. $12.5{\pm}8.7%$, p=0.001) during the sleeping period were decreased after a night shift compared with day shift. The non-dipper group significantly increased from 20% to 40% after a night shift (p=0.018). Conclusion: Working night shift is significantly associated with non-dipper status in nurses.

This study aims to identify the effect for exercise intensity on hypertension using propensity score based on the sixth Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data and to provide an evidence for the most effective exercise intensity for prevention or treatment of hypertension. Specifically, we select 3,486 subjects who aged between 18 and 65 years after excluding some subjects who are expected to have limited athletic ability. We estimate propensity scores for exercise intensity based on the confounders such as sex, age, smoking, drinking, and natrium intake. Considering the complex survey design, we conduct a descriptive analysis and multiple logistic regression for hypertension with propensity score as a covariate. Although the results of the study did not show statistically significant relationship between exercise intensity and hypertension, we expect that it can be used as a basis evidence that the appropriate exercise of moderate intensity may be more effective for the prevention and treatment of hypertension rather than strong intensity exercise and non-exercise.

최근 몸짱에 대한 열풍은 연예인들이 몇 달간 식이요법과 유산소 운동 그리고 웨이트 트레이닝을 통한 자기관리로 멋진 근육을 드러내 보이면서 많은 이들에게 호감을 갖게 한다. 운동의 효과는 전세계적으로 하루에도 수십편의 연구논문들이 쏟아져 나오고 있다. 현재까지 죽상동맥경화로 인한 심혈관 질환과 뇌혈관질환의 예방과 치료에 있어 운동은 절대적인 역할을 하고 있다. 뇌심혈관질환의 위험요인 중 흡연이나, 음주, 비만, 당뇨, 고혈압 외에 증상이 거의 없어 고혈압과 더불어 "침묵의 살인자"라고 불리우는 고지혈증은 건강검진을 받아보다가 우연하게 발견되기도 한다. 일반인들도 뇌심혈관질환에 위험요인이 위 항목들인 것을 대부분 알고 있지만 운동을 하지 않는 좌업식 생활을 하는 비활동인이 뇌심혈관 질환의 위험요인으로 포함된 것은 오래된 일이 아니다. 이번을 기회로 운동의 중요성을 언급하면서 고지혈증과 운동을 중심으로 기술하고자 한다.

최근 우리나라는 활동량은 적어지고 식생활의 서구화로 열량섭취가 증가하여 성인뿐만 아니라 소아에서도 비만증이 급격하게 증가하고 있다. 소아 및 청소년의 비만은 대개 증식형 비만 형태로 지방세포수가 일단 증가하면 체중조절이 어렵고, 특히 복부비만은 성인 비만으로 이행하기 쉬우며 실제로 어렸을 때 비만에 걸리면 그 중 60~80%가 성인 비만으로 이행된다고 보고되는 바 사회적 관심이 요구된다. 또한 성인과 마찬가지로 소아 비만 자체로도 고혈압, 고지혈증, 심혈관질환, 당뇨 등 다양한 합병증뿐만 아니라 우울증 및 다른 정신적 문제를 동반할 수 있어 보다 적극적인 치료가 필요하다.

2001년 사망원인 통계결과를 보면 암, 뇌혈관질환, 심장질환, 당뇨병 등의 사망자가 전체의 50.4%를 차지하여 우리나라가 식생활의 변화로 질병의 양상과 사망원인이 변하고 있으며 선진국형 질병양상을 보여주고 있다. 심장순환기계질환의 위험인자 중 고지혈증, 고혈압, 흡연, 신체활동 부족 등이 중요 인자로 포함된다. 따라서 본 연구는 대구지역 평균 연령 46 $\pm$ 3.4 세의 성인 남성 중 공복의 혈 중 콜레스테롤이 200 mg/dl 혹은 중성지방이 200 mg/dl를 기준으로 그 이상인 사람을 고지혈증으로 간주한 43명과 그 이하인 정상인 76명을 대상으로 영양소 섭취상태와 운동습관 및 식습관을 조사하여 영양교육의 기초자료를 제공하고자 하였다.(중략)

Purpose: Physical activity (PA) has a beneficial effect on the prevention of arteriosclerosis in healthy adults. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between PA measured using an accelerometer and arterial stiffness in healthy Korean adults. Methods: This study involved 87 subjects (36.8% women) aged 20-64 years. PA was evaluated using an accelerometer (wGT3X-BT, ActiGraph, Florida, USA) for 7 days. Based on the results of the accelerometer measurement, subjects were classified into active and inactive groups according to the World Health Organization (WHO) PA guidelines. The brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) and ankle-brachial index (ABI) to assess arterial stiffness were measured by a non-invasive vascular screening device (VP-1000 Plus, Omron). Results: The average age of the study subjects was 47.7 ± 11.3 years and the WHO PA guideline achievement rate was 29.9%. There was no significant difference in arterial stiffness (baPWV and ABI) between the active and inactive groups. In females, the time spent in light PA were positively correlated with ABI (r = 0.396; p < 0.05) and the number of sedentary bouts over 50 minutes was inversely correlated with ABI (r = -0.402; p < 0.05). However, there was no significant correlation between PA and arterial stiffness in males. Conclusions: The results of this study suggest that light PA and sedentary behavior have a positive correlation with arterial stiffness in females.

This study was conducted to identify the relationship between depression and subjective/objective health status, and to examine predicting factors on depression in the elderly in Korea. This study was a secondary analysis using the data of Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey(VI-1) 2007. A total of 939 data from the subjects ≥60 years who completed health-related survey were used for analysis. Data were analyzed using SAS (version 9.1) PC program. Depression was identified in the 20.3% of the older subjects. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that women (OR=2.04), senior high school graduation (OR=0.27) and lowermiddle household income (OR=2.83) were significant associating factors(p<0.05). After adjustment for socio-demographic factors, hypertension (OR=1.93) and asthma (OR=3.32) as objective health status, and stress (OR=7.27), limited activity in daily living due to fracture or joint injury (OR=6.59) and poor self-rate health (OR=1.64) as subjective health status were found as factors predicting depression in the elderly(p<0.05). According to the type of health status, the subjects who had chronic disease or perceived poor physical health were 5.94 times more likely to have disposition to depression than the subjects who had no chronic disease or perceived good physical health (p=0.001). These findings suggest that preventive education and intervention focus on preventing and managing chronic diseases such as hypertension, asthma, fracture and joint injury should be needed to decrease depression in the elderly.

Purpose The physiological and biochemical responses of healthy men and women to life stress were measured in order to investigate the correlation between these two responses under the normal situation. Materials and Methods The population of the research is some randomly chosen health college students located in Daejeon City during the period from August to September 2014, and the sample of 94 students. Heart rate variability (HRV), blood pressure (BP) were selected as physiological stress indices and serum cortisol level was used as a biochemical stress biomaker. The data which is collected used SPSS19.0 programs and frequency and percentage and T-test, correlation. Results Male showed the significant higher value of serum cortisol level (p<0.05), BP (p<0.05), and LF/HF ratio of HRV (p<0.05) than female. The difference of BP between correlated significantly with serum cortisol level (p<0.05). The LF/HF ratio of HRV also correlated significantly with serum cortisol level (p<0.05) Conclusion We suggest that LF/HF ratio of HRV and BP may be good indices for the assessment of life stress.
