This study examined the contribution of the risk factors that cause cardiovascular disease in Koreans. The subjects were 20,012 adults aged 30~74 years who were enrolled from the 2005~2013 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, had filled the risk factors data, and had no cardiovascular disease history. Data analysis was conducted using SAS 9.3, and a weighted composite sample design analysis was performed. The contribution was obtained by applying a squared semi-partial correlation. As a result, they were higher in the order of age (63.9%), smoking (17.3%), systolic blood pressure (7.9%), diabetes (6.9%), antihypertensive medication use (3.0%), and BMI (0.9%) in men. In women, the contributions were in the order of age (54.1%), systolic blood pressure (23.5%), diabetes (13.6%), antihypertensive medication use (5.1%), smoking (3.1%), and BMI (0.6%%). According to age bracket analysis, smoking (51.8~33.7%) was the biggest risk factor, followed in order by age (26.6%) in their 30s and systolic blood pressure (17.3~21.0%) in those older than 40 years in men. In women, the systolic blood pressure (56.2~40.5%) was the main contributor to the risk factors, followed by age (24.0%) in their 30s and diabetes (13.6~32.6%) in those older than 40 years. The contribution of the income level was similar. Therefore, to prevent cardiovascular disease, various programs that reflect the contributions of the risk factors should be developed. Moreover, it is recommended to use the results shown in this study as basic data.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the differences of breast shapes by age, to classify breast types, and to investigate the characteristics of breast shapes by type and the distributions of types by age group, using comparative analysis for women in 20's and 40's. The subjects of anthropometry were 323 women in 20's and 40's. The anthropometric measurements were analyzed by mean, standard deviation, frequency, T-test, F-test, Duncan test, factor and cluster analysis. The results are as follws : 1) According to the increase of age, the items of height were decreased and the items of width, depth, circumference and length were increased, being obeser and breast points were dropped. So the volume and bottom area of 40's women's breast were larger than 20's women's and the breast point to breast point width of 40's women was being wider by the increase of the intereior of breast. 2) 6 factor were extracted from factor analysis by age group. There was no significant difference in consist of factor between age group. There was no significant difference in consist of facotr between age group, but were differences in the connection of factor extracted items and factor loading. Through factor analysis of all age froup, 5 factors were extracted as important factor of breast shapes (obesity of breast and location of breast point ; breast height and volume ; upper dimensions of breast/lower dimensions of breast ; interior dimensions of breast/exterior dimensions of breast ; volume of the lower part and drop of breast). 3) The breast shapes were classified into 4 types by cluster analysis. The frequency of 20's women's breast types appeared in order of type1(53.0%), type3(32.0%), type2(11.0%), type4(4.0%), but that of breast types of 40's women appeared in order of type2(37.9%), type3(31.1%), type4(26.5%), type1(4.5%). Namely, there was few type4 in 20's women and few type1 in 40's women. 20's women's breast types were characterized as type1·3 and type2·3·4 in 40's women. So 40's women had more various breast types than 20's women's.

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.

Present study aims to describe who are the non-regular female workers in South Korea. The dominant form of employment of Korean female non-regular workers is characterized by instable contract, low wage, long-time work and exclusion from the state and occupational welfare. Also, non-regular female workers are not homeogenous but there are various groups of women among female non-regular workers including young part-time workers, high educational middle class contract professionals, particular contract workers such as home-schooling teachers. However, it would worth noting that over 40s, low-educational, low income, breadwinning women who are working in sales, service, and simple handy job are most likely to become non-regular female workers in South Korea. Those women are the major group among non-regular female workers. The public assistance (in cash) for non-regular workers are necessarily needed for them at this point in South Korea.

Purpose: This study was conducted to assess the nutritional status of female marriage immigrants attending Korean language class in Gwangju, Korea by analyzing daily food and nutrient intake. Methods: Eighty-three female immigrants completed a survey. Anthropometric measurements were obtained, and dietary food intake was assessed using a 1-day 24 hour recall method. Results: The average length of residence in Korea was 5.3 years, and mean age of subjects was 31.0 years old. The home countries of subjects were Vietnam (50.6%), China (24.1%), Philippines (13.3%), and others (12%). Due to the length of residence, there were significant differences in body weight (p < 0.05), BMI (p < 0.05), percent body fat (p < 0.05), and diastolic blood pressure (p < 0.05). The subjects who were 30~49 years old consumed more vegetables and less seaweed than the subjects who were 20~29 years old. The other kinds of consumed foods were similar among groups in different age groups or lengths of residence in Korea. Average energy intake of subjects was 1,641.0 Kcal. The group with less than 5 years of residence showed higher cholesterol intake than the group with 5 or more years of residence in Korea (p < 0.05). There was no significant difference in nutrient intake between the groups of different age or length of residence. There was a positive association among dietary cholesterol intake and consumption of eggs, milk. and dairy products, and blood pressure. Conclusion: The study shows that length of residence affects rate of obesity and nutritional status. Further extensive research is needed to understand the effect of dietary changes and nutritional status of female marriage immigrants as well as for their successful adaptation to develop a more active and long-term nutrition education program.

To evaluate the bone mineral density (BMD) and biochemical markers. We evaluated the BMD of femoral neck and lumbar spines of 998(male 568, female 430) persons who took a regular health screening in Woosuk University Hospital from September 2007 to March 2008 by dual energy bone mineral densitometry. Results of BMD are different in terms of biochemical markers. Especially aged people showed osteoporotic change progressively. Degree of osteoporosis increases with age. A steep decrease of BMD can be found in postmenopausal women who have low level of female hormone. More persistent effort is needed to find out the factors that can reduce BMD values for prevention of problems by osteoporosis. In essence, research on factors related to other biochemical markers must be studied continuously.

This study aims to investigate the actual condition of wearing leggings and the preferred design of down-aging women in their 30s and 40s who have young sensibility, but are starting to enter a middle-aged body type. By analyzing the problems experienced when wearing leggings in this age group, this study intends to provide basic data for the development of a middle-aged female leggings pattern with an improved fit. Therefore, a survey was conducted on 214 women in their 30s and 40s. The results of the survey are as follows. Among down-aging women who want to look younger, leggings are becoming an essential item, but most leggings brands are producing leggings with patterns suitable for women in their 20s. The results of this study also showed that down-aging women in their 30s and 40s mainly purchase and prefer body-fitting leggings. However, they are experiencing discomfort due to 'Y-zone accentuate', 'undergarment accentuate', 'cloth stucking', and 'waist band curling and tightening'. The results indicate that women in their 30s and 40s, who are starting to change to a middle-aged body type, have fit problems. Women in their 20s generally prefer functions that improve the body line, while those in their 30s and 40s prefer functions that improve movement and cover problems caused by the abdomen and the Y-zone area. Therefore, when designing leggings for down-aging women in their 30s and 40s, based on body-fitting leggings, a material with excellent elasticity must be selected. Also develop patterns that solves 'Y-zone accentuate', 'undergarment accentuate', 'cloth stucking', and 'waist band curling and tightening' problems.
