The purpose of this study was to obtain basic data on the relationing between smoking, drinking and periodontal pocket formation. There was no nationwide epidemiologic study on periodontal diseases and smoking, drinking in korea. 177 adults aged 20 and older were recruited the study subjects. Data for smoking, drinking and general characteristics were collected by questions. Periodontal pocket formation was measured greater than 3 mm by probing. Sectional arch numbers of periodontal pocket formation by sex, marriage status and drink yes or no were no statististically difference. Sectional arch numbers of periodontal pocket formation by ages were statististically to increase in proportion to age. Sectional arch numbers of periodontal pocket formation by economic status were statististically to increase in proportion to high economic status. Sectional arch numbers of periodontal pocket formation by smoke yes or no were statististically to increase more smokers than non-smokers. According to regression analysis, periodontal pocket formation was influenced by age, economic status and smoke yes or no.

The purpose of the study was to investigate the prevalence and risk factors of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD) among nonsmokers from the 6th Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey(2013-2015). We used complex sample cross analysis and logistic regression analysis on 4, 911 non-smokers among the patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease over 40 years of age. In general characteristics, the prevalence of COPD is higher in the old(p<.001), men(p<.001), rural(p=.044), without spouses(p<.001), less educated(p<.001), agriculture(p<.001). Also, the non-smoker's COPD risk factor is age(p<.001), gender(p<.001), education(p=.022), occupation(p=.022), pulmonary tuberculosis(p<.001), asthma(p<.001). It is necessary to develop a respiratory rehabilitation and intervention program that can be applied in clinical practice based on nursing assessment considering the COPD prevalence and risk factors.

당뇨는 고혈압, 고지혈증, 흡연과 함께 관상동맥질환을 일으키는 4대 주요한 위험요인 중의 하나이다. 당뇨를 가지고 있으면 관상동맥질환, 뇌졸중, 말초동맥질환을 비롯한 동맥경화성 심혈관질환에 걸릴 위험이 증가한다. 관상동맥질환은 당뇨병환자에서 높은 유병율을 가지며 당뇨병환자의 사망원인의 75%는 죽상동맥경화와 관련이 있고 그 중 75%는 관동맥질환이다. 과거에 관동맥질환이 없는 당뇨병환자에서 급성심근경색의 발생위험은 현재 관동맥질환이 있는 환자와 같으며, 특히 여성에서 관동맥질환 사망위험도는 비당뇨여성의 5$\sim$8배로 현저히 높다. 치료법의 현저한 발전으로 관동맥질환의 사망률이 많이 줄어들었지만 당뇨병환자에서는 여전히 높은 상태이다.

The purpose of this study is to confirm the relevance between the frequency of beverage consumption and periodontal disease among Korean adults. The data used for analysis was obtained from the 6th Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2013-2015). The subjects were 9,042 adults aged 19 to 64. In non-smoking group, people with periodontal disease had less intake of milk, carbonated beverage, and fruit juice and more intake of coffee than people without periodontal disease. In smoking group, people with periodontal disease had less intake of milk, liquid yogurt, carbonated beverage, and fruit juice and more intake of coffee than people without periodontal disease. In the results of verifying the correlation between periodontal disease and beverage intake in accordance with the matter of smoking after revising the socio demographic characteristics, in non-smoking group, the intake of coffee was correlated with periodontal disease. In smoking group, the intake of milk was correlated with periodontal disease. Since the intake frequency of some beverages is related to periodontal disease, there should be guidelines on beverage consumption during the periodontal disease prevention education.

Background: Coal-worker's pneumoconiosis(CWP) is radiologically divided into two major groups: simple pneumoconiosis (SP), in which small, rounded or irregular opacities smaller than 1cm are observed, and progressive massive fibrosis(PMF), which is characterized by opacities larger than 1cm. SP has a life expectancy equivalent to miners with no radiographic evidence of CWP, but PMF is associated with more obvious impairments of ventilatory capacity and premature death. But only minority of workers develop PMF when exposed to dust concentrations similar to those experienced by workers who develop only SP. In this study, immune status in patients with CWP were evaluated by measurement of the serum immunoglobulin levels between control, SP and PMF groups. Method: Coal workers selected for this study were emplyees of the Tae-Baek and Dong-Hae Hospital. All the patients were men of 45-76 years old and the mean duration of exposure to coal dust were 23.2 years. By X-ray examination, 51 patients were classified in SP, 59 in PMF category. The normal controls examined were 58 men of 26-70 years old. Serum Ig levels were estimated by using Nephelometer(Behring Nephelometer : Germany) and serum were collected 51 in SP, 49 in PMF and 57 cases in control group. Results: The levels of IgG were increased but the levels of IgM were decreased with increasing age in control groups. There were no statistical difference of immunoglobulin levels between smokers and nonsmokers in control groups. There were no statistical difference of immunoglobulin levels between Control, SP and PMF groups. Multiple regression analysis were undertaken to determine the statistical significance of the apparent trends and estimate the effects associated with age, smoking habit and radiological category of CWP. According to this analysis, the levels of IgG were decreased significantly in SP group and had decreasing tendancy, but not statistically significant in PMF group. Conclusion : From the observations described, CWP patients had decreased IgG concentration compared to control gorup. Therefore, there was some relation between CWP and immunoglobulin concentration.

This study was conducted to compare the health behaviors of patient s before and after a stroke and propose health education program to reduce risk factors related to stroke recurrence. Data were collected from eighty- eight stroke patients registered at the Gyeongju-si Health Center between July 1, to August 30, 1999, by interviewing patients from a prepared structured questionnaire, which included questions on that patients ' general characteristics, health- related behaviors, family-related characteristics, and pre- and post - stroke health status. Smoking rate of 51.1% before stroke reduced to 25.0% after stroke; drinking rate of 52.3% before stroke reduced to 17.0% after stroke; daily smoking amount of 20.1 packs per day before stroke significantly reduced to 14.9 packs per day after stroke; and daily drinking amount of 92.4ml before stroke significantly reduced to 23.7ml after stroke. Smoking rate according to sex showed a marked decrease in the male subjects, but 31.6% still smoked even after their stroke. Among the female subjects, smoking rate of 16.1% before stroke reduced to 12.9% after stroke. Observation of the change in health- related behaviors of stroke patient s showed significant change in smoking rate, drinking rate and intake of regular meals etc. of patient s with a spouse and patients who received preventive health education. Health education on quitting smoking, temperance, low fat diet, exercise and regular meals for stroke patient s are needed, and public and private organizations can do their part in development and providing continuing health education programs and health education.

Stroke is a serious disease despite recent improvements in the medical treatments available. Thirty-six stroke patients were interviewed as case and 36 non-stroke patients were interviewed as controls between February 2005 and August 2005 at Daegu S Medical Center. Information regarding the subjects' food habits was collected using the recall method from 5 years before the onset of stroke. Using interview techniques, we investigated how dietary habits and attitude influence nutrient intake. These results were analyzed by the $X^2$, Student's t-test and Chi-square test using the SPSS 12.0 program. This case-control study was performed to demonstrate the relationships among general quality factors (BMI, WHR, and family history of stroke) and lifestyle factors (smoking, exercise and alcohol drinking). The results were as follows. Analysis of the percentage of nutrient intake in terms of meal pattern showed that WHR was significantly higher in the case group than in the control group. Hypertension and diabetes were the most common preceding diseases associated with the risk of stroke. The frequencies of smoking, alcohol consumption (p<0.001) and exercise (p<0.05) were higher in the cases than in the controls. Thus, the findings of this study are consistent with those of previous studies and suggest that people should be advised to control hypertension, smoking, alcohol drinking and obesity in order to prevent the occurrence of stroke as these factors are major risk factors for stroke.
