The purpose of this study is to investigate the changes in smoking rates and smoking cessation plans before and after the cigarette price increases in 2015. Therefore, based on the National Health and Nutrition Survey, this study analyzes the correlation of the change in smoking rate and cessation plans with sociological variables (gender, age, income quintile, occupation, education level, hypertension, diabetes) and health behaviors (drinking, stress perception, obesity) in 2013 before the cigarette price increases and in 2015 and then in 2017. Results indicated that the smoking rate in 2013 was 23.3%, the smoking rate in 2015 was 20.5%, and the smoking rate in 2017 was 21.0%, indicating that the smoking rate decreased compared to before the cigarette price was raised. Among the sociological variables, the cigarette price increases showed a difference in the smoking rate of income, occupation, and education level, and health behavior was found to have no significant effect on smoking rate. In addition, the cigarette price increases showed a temporary effect on the increase in the smoking cessation plan, but the increase in the smoking cessation plan did not necessarily lead to decrease the smoking rate. Therefore, in the future, efforts will be needed at the national level to provide customized smoking cessation programs by gender, age, and social factors so that the smoking cessation plan can lead to decrease the smoking rate. In addition, Research on health behaviors that were not identifited in this study should also be conducted. We hope that this study will help the prediction of the impact of smoking rate in case the price increases policies are considered or implemented.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relation between health behaviors and asthma among male and female adolescents. The data were derived from the 12th Korea youth risk behavior web-based survey 2016 in Korea. The subjects were 65,528 Korean adolescents. The diagnosis rate of asthma in male adolescents was 10.3% and the diagnosis rate of asthma in female adolescents was 7.8%. In male adolescent, health behaviors that related to diagnosis of asthma were drinking (OR=1.087), second-hand smoke exposure (OR=1.087), non-vigorous physical activity (OR=1.084), obesity (OR=1.291), insufficient sleep time (OR=1.113), and stress (OR=1.257). In female adolescents, health behaviors related to asthma were smoking (OR=1.242), second-hand smoke exposure (OR=1.111), vigorous physical activity (OR=0.899), obesity (OR=1.178), and stress (OR=1.251). The results of this study will be used as basic data to develop a health promotion program of asthma youth according to gender.

담배가 우리나라에 전래된 시기는 대략 1608~1610년경 일본으로 부터였다고 추정되고 있다. 초기에는 의약품으로 사용되어 진통제 구실을 하였으며 상처의 지혈 또는 화농방지제, 담치료제 등으로 이용되면서 자연스럽게 그 영향력을 넓혀가게 되었다. 그러나 1951년 이후 흡연이 인체에 미치는 해독에 관한 광범위한 조사가 이루어져 그 유해성이 입증되었고 1957년 미국암협회의 연구 결과 심한 궐련 흡연자는 비흡연자에 비해 적어도 20배나 폐암에 걸릴 가능성이 많음을 시사하였다. 특히 성장기에 있는 청소년의 흡연은 건강 뿐아니라 교육적 사회적 문제로 대두되고 있다.

This study was attempted to understand the effect of the violence victim experience of Korean adolescents on smoking using the data of the 15th (2019) online youth health behavior survey. The subjects of this study were 57,303 people, and the data were analyzed using the SPSS / Win 26.0 program for frequency analysis of complex samples, cross sample analysis (Rao-Scott ��2 test), and logistic regression analysis of complex samples. The main result was 12.7% of the smoking subjects. Those who smoked were significantly more 9.6% and 22.0%, respectively, compared to those who had no more than 1 or 2 times of violence. Smoking of Korean adolescents adjusted for gender, grade, academic record, economic status, drinking, family living, and usual stress increased the odds ratio for smoking by 1.66 times when the degree of violence damage experience increased by 1 unit. As a result of the above, as the degree of violence victimization of adolescents increases, the likelihood of smoking increases. Therefore, it is necessary to multidisciplinary convergence effort to the prevention and management of violence of adolescents, and to reduce the smoking of adolescents.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the convergence relationship between depression and oral health behaviors in postmenopausal women using data from the 2016~2018 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey(KNHANES). The subjects of this study were 1,201 women aged 40 to 59 years who answered 'menopause' in the question of menstruation of KNHANES. The data were analyzed by complex samples chi-square test and logistics regression. The group with a PHQ-9 score of '≥10' was 3.12 times more likely to smoke than the group with '<10'. Depression in postmenopausal women was strongly related to smoking. This study is expected to be used as a basic data to improve the health and oral health of middle-aged women by identifying oral health behaviors related to depression in postmenopausal women.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the association between family members and adolescent boys smoking. The data were evaluated by frequency analysis, 𝑥² test and logistic regression analysis using 27,276 people who responded to the 14th(2018) Korean Youth Risk Behavior Survey. Among male students, the nonsmoking rate was 91.5% and the smoking rate was 8.5%(2.5% of occasional smoking and 6.0% of frequent smoking). The study results showed that the smoking status of male students was varied significantly according to the number of smokers among the family members(p<0.001). Meanwhile, smoking based on the characteristics of socio-demographic factors was affected by grades, school records, economic status, and parents' educational background(p<0.001). Smoking by health factors showed a significant difference in alcohol consumption, suicidal thoughts, depression experiences, stress recognition, frequency of breakfast consumption, level of fatigue after sleep, and subjective perception of health(p<0.001). Male smokers were more likely to smoke when two family members smoked than only one(p<0.001). These results confirmed that smoking in boys was affected by the smoking status of family members and suggested that the smoking cessation program of family smokers can be effective in designing smoking cessation prevention and smoking cessation projects.

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the health behavior and prevalence of chronic disease in 5,638 city workers. Data were analyzed with frequency, percentage, chi-square test, logistic regression analysis. The results showed that the health behaviors of the subjects were high smoking and drinking, low exercise, and the prevalence of chronic diseases was high in obesity and hyperlipemia. The major influencing factors of chronic diseases were age, exercise and drinking. This study suggests that it is necessary to operate a systematic health management program for the desirable health behaviors in the national, local, and industrial fields.

A total of 5,597 Korean subjects aged 20-64 years were analyzed using the KNHANES 2013-2015. Among the subjects, 41.1% of males and 5.5% of females were smokers, and risk of developing metabolic syndrome in smokers was significantly increased in men with age, alcohol, physical activity, obesity, and sleep(aOR 1.785, 95% CI 1.004-3.174), whereas it was not significantly higher in women. As a result of analyzing the difference of average nutrient intake according to smoking and metabolic syndrome, the energy, retinol and vitamin C intake were significant when age and gender were corrected in the smoker and metabolic syndrome group. In this study, we found that smoking behavior and metabolic syndrome were related to nutrient intake which requires a national level of lifestyle intervention for the prevention and management of metabolic syndrome.
