Purpose: The aim of this study was to identify the correlation among job stress, drinking, and smoking of local government staff. Methods: The participants of this study were 205 government staffs working in a local government office. The data were collected by self-report using questionnaires from March 2 to April 30, 2009. The data were analyzed using t-test, Chisquare test, ANOVA, and Man-Whitney test. Results: Physical stress was the highest in job stress components. Majority of the participants (96%) had drinking experiences more than once per month. 25.4% of respondents reported they drank more than 10 glasses each time. Smoking was habitual in 36.6% of the subjects and 28% of subjects had participation in a smoking cessation program. Respondents who reported high job stress had a longer history of smoking. Conclusions: Job stress was highly associated with drinking and smoking. Stress control programs and smoking and alcohol cessation/moderation programs could be beneficial for the health of government staffs.

Purpose: This study aims to understand andropause symptoms and life satisfaction among middle-aged Korean men. Method: The subjects were selected among men in their middle age who visited one of two university hospitals or a convalescent center in Seoul. Korea. Eight items were used to measure their andropause symptoms. Life Satisfaction Index-Z was used to measure life satisfaction. Results: Major symptoms related andropause. in the order of frequency, include memory loss, muscle weakness. powerlessness and impotence. Among the subjects. 62.5% smoked and 70% drank alcohol. and life satisfaction was generally moderate in the participants. Current smokers and alcohol drinkers reported a low level of life satisfaction. Diabetic patients and subjects who had powerlessness and hot flashes of andropause symptoms experienced a low level of life satisfaction. Muscle weakness was more frequent in current smokers, and powerlessness more in alcohol drinkers. Conclusion: This study's findings indicate that and ropause is one of major health concerns among middle-aged men. It reminds us of the smoking and alcohol drinking issues among middle-aged men. These findings show the necessity to improve strategies for nursing intervention in andropause symptoms and health risk behaviors.

Objective : The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of alcohol on neurocognitive function, psychomotor performance and subjective response in healthy Korean adults with different ALDH2 genotypes. Method : A total of 24 males, half with active $ALDH2^*1/2^*1$ and the other with inactive $ALDH2^*1/2^*2$, was selected through genotyping using restriction fragment length polymorphism. In a double-blind, placebo-controlled cross-over design, each subject consumed 0.5g/kg dose of alcohol, given as a mixture of 40% vodka and orange juice, and placebo(orange juice) on two separate occasions on an average of weekly intervals. The blood alcohol concentrations(BACs) were measured using a breath analyzer at baseline and at 30, 60 minutes after drinking. P300s were measured at baseline and at 30 minutes after alcohol and placebo intake. Vital signs and psychomotor performance[Critical Flicker Fusion Threshold(CFFT), Choice Reaction Time (CRT), Digit Symbol Substitution(DSS)] were measured at baseline and at 60 minutes after alcohol and placebo intake. Subjective responses were measured at the end of the study. The statistical analysis focused on whether there were any differences between groups with different ALDH2 genotypes. Results : The major results are as follows. 1) BACs in the inactive group were overall equivalent to those in the active group. Only in terms of time, BACs were significantly higher overall at 30 minutes than at 60 minutes after alcohol intake. 2) Pulse rates were significantly increased after alcohol intake compared with placebo, and the increase was greater in the inactive than in the active group. 3) P300 latencies in leads Fz(frontal), Cz(cental) and Pz(parietal) were significantly increased after alcohol intake compared to placebo, and the increase was greater in the inactive than in the active group. P300 amplitudes in leads Cz and Pz were significantly decreased overall after alcohol intake compared to placebo. 4) Compared with placebo, alcohol produced significant effect on the psychomotor performance : impairment in the inactive group, improvement in the active group. 5) Compared with placebo, alcohol significantly induced a negative or an intense effect on the subjective responses in the inactive group, but little negative and even a somewhat positive effect in the active group. Conclusions : These results suggest that ALDH isozyme variance might be an important factor to determine the effects of acute dose of alcohol on the various psychobehavioural functions and also to determine the alcohol use pattern and to predict the future development of alcohol overuse and/or abuse.

The purpose of this study is to examine the prevalence and correlates of three types of risk-taking behavior among high school students in Korea in a cross-sectional national sample. A sample of 636 male and 622 female high school students is analyzed using descriptive statistics and logistic regression. Three types of risk-taking behavior are examined: drinking alcohol, smoking, and premarital sex. The results are as follows: Forty-three percent of students in the sample have ever drunk alcohol, 32% have ever smoked, 11% have experience premarital sex. Risk-taking behavior is more prevalent among boys than among girls. Boys and girls in Seoul are much more likely to have experienced three types of risk-taking behavior. Not having two parents in the family and having lived away from immediate family increase the likelihood of some risk-taking behavior. Students who have a friend with premarital sexual experience are much more likely to have experienced premarital sex themselves. Among sexually active students, having multiple sexual partners is common and prevalence of condom use is low. Reproductive health education at school has no effect on students' sexual behavior. The prevalence of risk-taking behavior among adolescent in Korea is likely to rise in the future. Substantial proportion of adolescents are exposed to the risks of STDs and substantial proportion of adolescent girls risk premarital pregnancy. Current health education programs are inadequate in protecting students from risk-taking behavior. Students whose families do not include both parents and students who live away from their immediate families need special programs to protect them from risk-taking behavior.

Objectives: This article aimed to compare alcohol consumption between the populations of Queensland in Australia and Alberta in Canada. Furthermore, the associations between greater alcohol consumption and socio-demographic characteristics were explored in each population. Methods: Data from 2500 participants of the 2013 Alberta Survey and the 2013 Queensland Social Survey were analyzed. Regression analyses were used to explore the associations between alcohol risk and socio-demographic characteristics. Results: A higher rate of hazardous alcohol use was found in Queenslanders than in Albertans. In both Albertans and Queenslanders, hazardous alcohol use was associated with being between 18 and 24 years of age. Higher income, having no religion, living alone, and being born in Canada were also associated with alcohol risk in Albertans; while in Queenslanders, hazardous alcohol use was also associated with common-law marital status. In addition, hazardous alcohol use was lower among respondents with a non-Catholic or Protestant religious affiliation. Conclusions: Younger age was associated with greater hazardous alcohol use in both populations. In addition, different socio-demographic factors were associated with hazardous alcohol use in each of the populations studied. Our results allowed us to identify the socio-demographic profiles associated with hazardous alcohol use in Alberta and Queensland. These profiles constitute valuable sources of information for local health authorities and policymakers when designing suitable preventive strategies targeting hazardous alcohol use. Overall, the present study highlights the importance of analyzing the socio-demographic factors associated with alcohol consumption in population-specific contexts.

비록 음주가 간손상을 일으키는 지방간의 원인이 되긴 하나 다른 인자들 역시 지방간의 원인이 된다. 우리는 알코올성 지방간(알코올군) 및 비알코올성 지방간 남성(비알코올군)에 있어 철 표지자, 심장표지자, 그리고 생화학적 표지자의 변화와 차이를 연구하였다. 알코올군이 비알코올군 보다 신체지수, 수축기 및 확장기 혈압, 좌우 안압이 유의하게 더 높았다. 또한 혈색소 농도, 적혈구 용적률, 평균 적혈구 혈색소량, 평균 적혈구혈색소 농도, 단구 수 역시 알코올군이 비알코올군 보다 유의하게 더 높았다. 생화학적 지수인 alanine aminotransferase, ${\gamma}$-glutamyltranspeptidase, 총콜레스테롤, 중성지방, 저밀도콜레스테롤, 혈당, 크레아티닌, 요산 등도 알코올군이 비알코올군 보다 유의하게 높았고, 철 지수인 철, 총철결합능, 페리틴 농도 역시 알코올군이 의미있게 더 높았다. 이러한 결과들은 장기적인 알코올 기인성 지방간이 비음주 지방간에 비해 혈청 철농도, 심혈관 표지자, 그리고 생화학적 표지자들을 더 상승시키며, 이는 심혈관 질환 및 대사성 증후군과 같은 성인병에 노출될 가능성이 보다 높을 수 있음을 시사하고 있다.

폭음군은 알코올 사용 장애 환자와 유사한 인지기능의 장애를 보인다고 보고된다. 신경심리검사와 뇌 영상 기법을 사용하여 알코올 사용 장애 환자들의 시지각 기능을 조사한 선행 연구에서는 이들이 전체-세부 시지각 처리 결함을 가짐을 보고하였다. 폭음군의 전체-세부 시지각 결함에 대한 신경학적 근거가 제시되고 있으나 폭음군의 전체-세부 시지각 처리 과정을 조사한 연구는 현재까지 보고되지 않았다. 따라서 본 연구는 폭음을 하는 여자대학생의 세부 편향적 시지각 특성을 Navon의 전체-세부 방안과 사건관련전위를 사용하여 조사하였다. 전체-세부 방안에서 자극은 세부 수준 혹은 세부 수준의 자극들로 구성된 전체 수준에서 제시되었으며, 두 수준에서 제시되는 자극은 서로 일치하거나 불일치하였다. 본 연구에 폭음군 25명과 비폭음군 25명이 참여하였다. 행동자료 분석 결과, 비폭음군과 폭음군 모두 세부 자극에 비해 전체 자극을 더 빠르고 정확하게 처리하였다. 또한, 두 집단 모두 전체불일치 조건에 비해 세부불일치 조건에서 유의하게 낮은 반응정확률과 긴 반응시간을 보였으며, 이는 전체 수준의 비목표 자극에 의해 간섭을 받았음을 의미한다. 사건관련전위의 분석 결과는 다음과 같다. 비폭음군과 폭음군 모두 세부불일치 조건에 비해 전체불일치 조건에서 더 큰 N100 진폭, 세부 조건에 비해 전체 조건에서 더 큰 P150 진폭을 보였고, N200의 경우 두 집단 모두 전체 조건에 비해 세부 조건에서 더 큰 진폭, 전체불일치 조건보다 세부불일치 조건에서 더 큰 진폭을 보였다. 반면, P300의 경우 비폭음군에 비해 폭음군이 더 작은 진폭을 보였으며, 특히 세부 조건에서 더 작은 P300 진폭을 보였다. 또한, P300 진폭과 폭음 점수 사이의 부적 상관, 즉 폭음 점수가 증가할수록 P300 진폭이 감소하는 것이 관찰되었다. N100은 초기 시각 주의, P150은 시각적 특징을 기반으로 한 목표 자극의 지각 과정, N200은 갈등 모니터링 및 반응 억제, 그리고 P300은 인지적 억제 및 주의 할당 과정을 반영하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 전체-세부 방안의 세부 과제에서는 세부 수준에서 제시되는 목표 자극에 주의를 할당하는 동시에 전체 수준에서 제시되는 비목표 자극에 대한 주의는 억제하는 것이 요구된다. 따라서 본 연구 결과는 폭음을 하는 여자대학생이 세부 편향적 시지각 특성을 가지고 있지 않고 대신 주의를 억제하는 능력의 결함을 가지고 있을 가능성을 시사한다.

This study was conducted to identify the impact factors of bicycle driving under the influence (DUI) among Korean adults. The participants were 1,297 Korean adults. The prevalence of bicycle DUI was 11.7% of Korea adults. The factors affecting bicycle DUI were gender, education level, frequency of drinking, one-time drinking, vehicle DUI. To prevent bicycle DUI, we would need to facilitate appropriate drinking habits, provide treatments for disorders related to alcohol use, and change the social perception of bicycle DUI. Also, we should promote the establishment of the culture of bicycle helmet use, the establishment of a system that imposes fine to non-helmet-using riders, and education and publicity on the national level to recognize that bicycle DUI and DUI are mutually related.
