In spite of the development of scientific and medical technology, the rate of prevalence and death of the chronic disease gets higher. Therefore people come to know prevention is more important than treatment in disease. In Western, it is nearly after 1970's when it is revealed that the major factor of chronic disease comes from habitual behaviors in everyday life. But that is common idea in Oriental Medicine since thousand years. In Oriental Medicine, the main cause of disease is composed of natural factor including climate condition, living-life factor, psycho-social factor, constitutional factor, inbody-pathologic-substance factor, and other factors including habits of using drug and medical service, injury, environmental pollutions, and occupational etiologic factors. Among these, the major factors of disease in modern society are lifestyle factors like the tendency of choosing and intaking food, the level of physical activity and labor, smoking and drinking alcohol, psychological tendency, the habits of using drug and medical service and so on. This is a practical aspect of oriental medicine where the most important etiologic factor comes from human behaviors, not from external factors like germ or virus. So that etiology in Oriental Medicine where improvement in the way of life is needed to prevent disease would play an important role in modern society.

A study on drug abuse of young people who failed in college entrance examinations and preparing the next examination and those enrolled at colleges but trying to transfer to other colleges was conducted from February 3 to May 31, 1999 in order to determine current drug abuse status of them and factors affecting their behavior related to drug abuse. A total of 1,771 people were selected from college entrance preparation institutes in Seoul, Pusan, Taegu, Taejon and Kwangju and interviewed by using questionnaires. The results are summarized as follows; 1. 49.78％ of them experienced drinking, 22.8％ smoking, and 6.7％ drug previously. More males smoked cigarettes than females. The young in the age group of 25 to 29 years old, and the young living in small towns, and subjects who finished junior colleges and those without religions drank more than those in other categories. The subjects in the age group of 20 to 24 years old and those with one parent, and those living in small towns used more drugs than those in other categories. 2. 60.1％ of those with drug using experience used the drug in their or friends' homes. 53.6％ of them used drugs with their friends, junior or senior classmates. 36.6％ of them purchased drugs from drug stores. 76.0％ of them spent their pocket money for buying drugs. 3. The drugs (excluding alcohol and tobacco) they used were bond and butane gas (29.6％), stimulants (20.6％), marijuana 02.0％) LSD (4.8％), cocaine, heroine and opium (4.2％), and others (28.8％). 4. 21.5％ of those with drug using experience had detoxification treatment previously. The ajmor sufferings they experienced were distraction (42.6％), fear 01.7％), and others. 5. 51.0％ of the subjects experienced drug related health education in schools, and 14.6％ had that kind of education through social program. 6. 64.3％ of the subjects got information about drug abuse through mass media, 16.4％ through printed materials, and 11.4％ through public health professionals. 7. The knowledge level of drug abuse was 16.48:1:2.76 points out of 24 (68.6 points out of 100).

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between bone mineral density(BMD), body composition and life styles of female college students. The subjects were 334 students with a mean age of 21.0 years. BMDs of forearm and calcaneus were measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry, and body composition was measured by bioelectrical impedence analysis. The means for weight, height, and body mass index(BMI) of the subjects were 55.7 kg, 161.0 cm, 21.5 kg/$m^2$, respectively. Grouping by the BMI, 13.2% of the subjects were classified as overweight, and 11.1% of the subjects as obese group. BMD in the forearm and calcaneus were 0.390 g/$cm^2$, 0.514 g/$cm^2$. In the forearm, 58.1% and 9.6% of the subjects were classified as osteopenia and osteoporosis, respectively, and in the calcaneus, 12.0% and 0.3% of the subjects were classified as osteopenia and osteoporosis, respectively. Body weight, skeletal muscle mass, lean body mass, fat mass and BMI were positively correlated with BMDs in the forearm and calcaneus($r$=0.180~0.495, $p$ <0.01~0.001), and height, % body fat and waist-hip ratio(WHR) were positively correlated with BMDs in the calcaneus($r$=0.213~0.239, $p$ <0.001), but not in the forearm. The factors such as beginning age of cigarette smoking and alcohol drinking and exercise had significant influence on BMD($p$ <0.05; p<0.001), whereas sleeping hours, activity level, frequency of exercise, meal times, frequency of snack and fried food intake, breakfast skipping and amount of meal had not significant influence on BMD. Therefore, the acquisition of balanced body composition is necessary through the increase of fat free mass and muscle mass, not through the increase of fat mass among female college students.

Diatomaceous earth, quarried from the remains of aquatic plants deposited millions of years ago, continues to be a very important raw material with many industrial uses. In its natural state, diatomaceous earth is an amorphous silica with no crystalline pattern. For many uses, however, it is calcinated and calcination converts a portion of the amorphous silica to a crystalline form, cristobalite which is far more fibrogenic. In a factory which produces calcinated diatomaceous earth, seven workers were proved as pneumoconiosis on 1991 and 1992. Authors reviewed medical chart and current status of them. Authors also examined thirty one subjects from the factory with questionnaire, physical examination, spirometry and chest radiography on August 13th 1993. The radiographs were independently interpreted by two radiologists and their findings were classified by International Classification of Radiography of Pneumoconiosis(ILO, 1980). Total and respirable dust of diatomaceous earth were measured on October 1993. The results were as follows; 1. Of 31 workers, 6 (19.4%) were diagnosed as diatomaceous earth pneumoconiosis. There was an increasing tendency in prevalence of pneumoconiosis as the duration of dust exposure gets longer. 2. There were no significant differences in age, smoking rate, alcohol drinking rate, and pulmonary function test results between cases and non-cases. 3. The means of total dust exposures at flour manufacturing, fire brick grinding and packaging, ceramic raws packaging processes exceeded Korean and ACGIH standards, $10mg/m^3$. Above results suggest that engineering controls, periodic environmental and medical surveillance are important for preventing pneumoconiosis in the diatomite factory.

This study aimed to examine the influence of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on areas of Korean medical students' lives, assess concerns, and investigate the strategies they used to cope with stress due to the pandemic. An online survey with a total of 53 items on the impact of COVID-19, concerns, and coping strategies was sent to medical students, and responses were collected from April 27, 2021 to May 30, 2021. In total, 1,329 students were included in the study. Analysis was performed using the chi-square test, independent-sample t-test, and one-way analysis of variance, and the post-hoc Scheffé test or Games-Howell test was performed for multiple comparisons. The main negative impacts of the pandemic were on hobbies/leisure activities and mental health, and medical students expressed the highest levels of concern regarding restriction of movement, returning to everyday life, and risk of infection for family and friends. Female students more strongly agreed that COVID-19 had increased their depressed mood and anxiety (p<0.001 and p=0.003, respectively). Furthermore, the negative impacts of the pandemic on different areas of life significantly affected current levels of depressed mood and anxiety. To cope with pandemic-related stress, students used several strategies such as talking with family or friends (91.5%), sleeping (83.1%), exercising (72.8%), using social networking services (60.8%), drinking alcohol (37.8%), and practicing meditation/mindfulness (24.4%); the effectiveness of these strategies ranged from 3.45 to 4.19 on a 5-point Likert-type scale (1-5). The study findings suggest that COVID-19 has influenced the mental health of medical students and raised concerns in many areas of their lives. Students used various strategies to cope with the pandemic-related stress; since the effectiveness of frequently used approaches varied, it is essential to guide medical students to develop effective coping strategies.

본 연구는 20-30대 성인을 대상으로 심혈관계 질환 예측인자인 AIP가 어떤 요인들과 상관성이 있는지를 밝혀 중년 이후 심혈관계질환의 발병을 조기에 예방할 수 있도록 하는 근거를 제공하고자 수행이 되었다. 연구대상자는 2013-2015년 국민건강영양조사에 참여한 20-39세 성인 3,040명으로 AIP에 따라 5분위수로 나누어서 일반사항, 건강지표, 식습관, 영양섭취상태를 비교하였다. 남성과 여성 대상자 모두 나이가 많을수록, 비만할수록, 흡연할수록 AIP 평균이 높았고, 교육수준의 경우 남성은 교육수준이 높을수록 여성은 교육 수준이 낮을수록 AIP 평균이 높았다. 남성은 음주 정도에 따라 AIP 평균에 차이가 있었고, 운동을 하지 않는 남성이 운동을 하는 남성보다 AIP 평균이 높았다. 건강지표는 남녀 모두 AIP가 높은 분위로 갈수록 수축기 혈압, 이완기 혈압, 공복혈당, 인슐린, 총 콜레스테롤, 중성지방, LDL 콜레스테롤이 유의하게 증가하는 경향이 나타났다. 남성의 경우 당화혈색소 수치도 AIP가 높아질수록 유의하게 증가하는 경향이 나타났지만, 여성에서는 유의적인 차이는 없었고, HDL 콜레스테롤의 경우 남녀 모두 AIP가 높아질수록 수치가 유의하게 낮아지는 경향이 있었다. 식습관은 여성에서 AIP가 높은 분위수로 갈수록 아침식사를 먹지 않는 비율이 높았고, 음료의 섭취량이 높았으며 커피의 섭취량은 낮았다. AIP에 따른 영양소 섭취량은 남녀 모두 차이가 없었다. 본 연구 결과를 통해 20-30대 성인에서도 나이가 많을수록 비만할수록 흡연을 할수록 운동을 안 할수록 동맥경화의 위험도가 높아짐을 확인하였고, AIP는 젊은 성인에서도 수축기 혈압, 이완기 혈압, 공복혈당, 인슐린, 총 콜레스테롤, 중성지방, LDL 콜레스테롤, HDL 콜레스테롤 등의 건강지표와 상관성이 있었다. 또한 여성에서 음료의 섭취가 많고 커피의 섭취가 적을수록 AIP가 증가하여서 탄산음료와 가당 음료의 섭취를 줄이는 것이 바람직함을 확인하였다. 따라서 20-30대 젊은 성인도 체중조절과 바람직한 생활습관을 통해 심혈관질환 예방을 위한 노력이 필요함을 확인하였다.

혈청 GGT는 임상적으로 널리 이용되고 있음에도 불구하고 정상 인구 집단에서의 행태적 관련 인자에 대해서는 잘 알려져 있지 않다. 본 연구에서는 경상남도 내의 농촌 지역인 울산시 울주군 두동면에서 1997년에 실시한 주민 건강 검진에 참여하였던 40세 이상의 남성 248명을 대상으로 혈청 GGT 활성도와 관련된 행태적 요인을 조사하였으며 다중 회귀 분석과 공분산 분석을 이용하여 혼란 변수의 영향을 통제하였다. 신체 비만지수(kg/$m^2$)와 알코올 섭취량(ml/day)이 증가함에 따른 혈청 GGT 활성도의 차이는 연령과 요인 상호간의 영향을 보정하였을 때 통계학적으로 유의하였다(p=0.051 및 p<0.001). 비음주자에서 신체 비만지수가 25 이상인 경우는 25 미만인 경우에 비해 혈청 GGT의 활성도가 통계학적요로 유의하게 상승하였으나(p=0.007), 음주자에서는 유의한 차이를 볼 수 없었다(p=0.892). 알코올 섭취는 신체 비만지수가 25미만인 경우와 25 이상인 경우 모두에서 혈청 GGT의 활성도 상승과 유의한 연관성을 보였다(p<0.001 및 p=0.002). 이상과 같은 소견은 농촌 지역 남성들에서 혈청 GGT의 활성도와 가장 밀접하게 관련된 요인이 음주, 그리고 비음주자에서의 비만임을 암시한다.

Objectives: This study was performed to investigate the level of quality of life (QOL) and to identify its related factors among the elderly using a hall for the aged. Methods: The study subjects were 350 elderly people living in Nam Gu, Gwangju City. They were interviewed by questionnaire to collect information on social-demographic characteristics, health behaviors, health-related characteristics and QOL. We used statistical analysis methods such as T-test, ANOVA and multiple regression analysis to find which factors affected QOL. Results: The characteristics relating to physical functions were as follows: presence of spouse, education, alcohol drinking, teeth condition, arthritis, frequency of visiting the hall for the aged, and depression. Age, arthritis and depression were significantly related to role limitation due to physical problems. General health was related to gender, age, and depression, and vitality was related to education, frequency of visiting the hall, and depression. Role limitation due to emotional problems was related to age and depression, and mental health was related to age, hypertension, arthritis and depression. Conclusions: This study showed QOL of the elderly was significantly influenced by socio-demographic factors, and physical or emotional conditions. To improve QOL of the elderly, we need to develop programs to promote health and to manage chronic diseases of the elderly.
