The purpose of this study was to determine the drinking behaviors and drinking problems of adult, mentally retarded persons over 18 years old. It was also investigated whether gender, age, and pattern of employment create different result of drinking behaviors and drinking problems, and the variables explaining drinking problems were analyzed. One hundred forty adults, mentally retarded persons were surveyed in Seoul and KyeongGi area. The major findings were as follows; The majority of respondents ($58.2\%$) reported that they had consumed alcohol beverages sometimes prior to their having been interviewed. The average age of respondents who had consumed alcohol was 26.4 years and average age of first-use of alcohol was 22 years. For consumption frequency, $39.2\%$ of respondents reported that they drink alcohol once a month. Average alcohol consumption per occasion was 1.5 cups, and $10.9\%$ of respondents answered more than 5 cups per occasion. Regarding problems associated with drinking, $16\%$ of respondent of AUDIT and $51.4\%$ of Family CAGE answered that their children have drinking-related problems. Men drink more than women and experience more alcohol problems. Supervised employment group was the group with the greatest prevalence for drinking. For the amount of drinking, gender and employment pattern showed significant differences. Drinking problems (AUDIT and Family CAGE) of adult, mentally retarded persons were influenced by age of first-use of alcohol, frequency of alcohol use, and alcohol consumption.

Purpose: This study aimed to identify the alcohol drinking pattern of parents and to analyze drinking related factors in problem drinking among adolescent's parents. Method: This study was conducted through a structured questioning from November 5th to 22th in 2002. Those are 2,522 parents of the students of the 1st and 2nd grade who were selected randomly among 26 middle and high schools located in Socho-gu, Seoul. Data was analyzed using SAS program that included descriptive statistics, Chi-square test, and multiple logistic regression analysis. Result: 1. For frequency of drinking, 33.1％ of the subjects responded to drink two-four times a month, 26.0％ drink more than two times a week. 2. For the amount of drinking, 29.6％ drink one or two glasses while 9.4％ drink over ten glasses at a time. 3. The mean AUDIT score was 8.27 7.02(score of range: 0- 40). 4. Based on AUDIT score, drinkers with less than eight point from AUDIT(normal group) were 55.1％, from more than eight point to less than twelve point from AUDIT(problematic drinker) were 16.3％, and more than twelve point from AUDIT(alcohol abuse and dependency) were 28.6％. 5. Based on more than twelve point from AUDIT, female(mother), high school and, have religion, housekeeper were the significantly higher score than counter parts. Conclusion: Alcohol drinking pattern and level of drinking of their parents links to their children's drinking and results in family, social, and national loss. Active prevention is needed. Specially, pertinent education about drinking and public education for mothers who are housekeepers should be carried out with concentrated intervention programs for the problematic drinker so alcohol abuse and dependency can be reduced.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of loneliness on drinking, smoking, and health perception (symptom pattern & subjective health) in college students. The convenience sample consisted of 417 college students attending four universities. The Revised UCLA Loneliness Scale(RULS) and the Symptom Pattern Scale were used to collect the data. In this study, 84.7% of the subjects used alcohol, with a mean of 5.52 drinks per week, and 32. 9% of the subjects smoked for a mean of 5.08 cigarette packs per week during the previous month. The mean score loneliness measured by the RULS was 40.82, indicating that the subjects were moderately lonely. The majority of the subjects had a low level of symptom pattern and evaluated their health as either very good or good. The level of alcohol drinking and the smoking increased and symptom pattern decreased with age. Female students were lonelier than male students in this study. Also, the female students had a lower level of symptom pattern and evaluated their health worse than the male students. Male students consumed more alcohol and smoked more cigarette than female students. Living arrangement was significantly related to the level of loneliness. The subjects who lived with their parents and siblings were less lonely than those who lived with their friends, or relatives or who lived in a dormitory. Age and religion were not related to the level of loneliness. The level of loneliness influenced drinking, symptom pattern, and subjective health. The study found that subjects who were more lonely consumed alcohol less, had a higher level of symptom pattern, and perceived their health worse than those who were less lonely. Smoking was not influenced by loneliness in this study.

Purpose: Alcohol is a major risk factor for injuries, but little is known about the relationship between chronic drinking pattern and injuries. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the incidence of alcohol-related injuries and the differences in the characteristics of the injuries between Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test (AUDIT) categories. Methods: Among a representative sample of the third Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. 7,697 adults answered questions about injuries, drinking patterns, and socioeconomic status. Incidences of alcohol-related injuries and of non-alcohol-related injuries were calculated, and the relative ratio of injuries between AUDIT categories was analyzed. Results: The incidences of all injuries and alcohol-related injuries were 69.2 and 6.8 per 1000 person-year. After adjustment, the incidences of non-alcohol-related injuries showed no differences between AUDIT categories. But the adjusted relative ratios (RRs) of alcohol-related injuries were 3.73 (95% CI: 1.54~8.99) and 7.70 (95% CI: 3.61~16.44) for risk drinkers and for alcohol-dependent drinkers respectively. No specific body part could be identified as being frequently injured in cases of risk drinkers and alcohol-dependent drinkers. In contrast, the adjusted RRs of fractures, bruises, and open wounds were 1.76 (95% CI: 1.03~3.02), 1.73 (95% CI: 1.15~2.61), and 1.85 (95% CI: 1.17~2.93) for alcohol-dependent drinkers. Assaults occurred 4.66 times more frequently in alcohol-dependent drinkers. Conclusion: Alcohol-related injuries occur more frequently as the person becomes more dependent on alcohol. Fractures, Bruises, open wounds, and assaults occur more frequently in alcohol-dependent drinker. This study suggests that efforts should be carried out in the ED to screen and treat alcohol-use disorders associated with patients injured after drinking.

본 연구는 1996년부터 대구광역시 달성군 보건소와 협동을 수행한 달성군 노인추적 조사(Dalsung Elderly Follow-up Study)의 일부 결과로 달성군내 거주하는 반 60~64세 남자노인 416명(44.1%), 여자노인 528명(55.9%)으로 총 944명을 대상으로 농촌 사회의 노인에서의 음주 양상과 고혈압과의 관계를 알아봄으로써 고혈압을 비롯한 심혈관계질환의 선행요인이 되는 음주의 건강 유해를 간접적으로 평가하고자하는 것으로 알콜소비양상과 혈압과의 관련성에서 음주의 양상이 혈압에 미치는 영향을 규명하고자한 것이다. 조사는 보건진료소의 간호사 및 간호조무사 자격취득 공무원이 직접 면담으로 일대일 면담형식으로 1996년 4월부터 9월 사이에 조사되었다. 분석결과를 식사 전 공복에 해장술을 먹는 사람의 분포, 일일 평균 음주량, 월 음주빈도, 1회 음주시 음주량, 선호하는 술의 종류, 음주기간 등 모두 유의한 차이가 있었으며, 성별, 연령별 수축기 및 확장기 혈압의 평균치를 살펴보면, 성별로 혈압의 차이는 없었다. 각 연령대별로 성별로 혈압을 64세에서, 확장기 혈압은 60세에서 유의한 차이가 64세에서, 확장기 혈압은 60세에서 유의한 차이가 있었다. 같은 성에서 연령군별로 비료를 하였을 때, 남자에서는 수축기 혈압에서 유의한 차이가 있었으며, 여자에서는 수축기 혈압에서 유의한 차이가 있었다. 음주자에서 음주양상에 따른 일평균 음주량 분포를 살펴보면 먼저 아침식사전 음주자 즉, 공복시 해장술 유무와 월 음주빈도, 일회음주량의 분포에 따라 유의한 차이가 있었다. 또한 선호하는 술의 종류, 음주기간 간에 일평균 음주량 분포도 유익한 차이가 있었다. 음주 행태에 따른 수축기 혈압 및 다른 공변수를 통제한 조정된 수축기 혈압을 비교하면 공변수 조정 선에서는 음주유무, 아침식사전 음주유무, 선호하는 음주의 종류, 등에서 유의한 차이를 보였으나(p<0.05) 공변수 조정후에는 음주유무, 아침식사전 음주에서만 유의한 차이가 있었으며(p<0.05), 음주 행태에 따른 공변수 조정전후 확장기 혈압을 살펴보면 조정전에서는 선호하는 음주 종류에서 유의한 차이는 있었으나(p<0.05), 공변수를 조정한 후에는 유의한 차이는 없었다. 회귀분석 결과, 모형 1에서 수축기 혈압을 종속변수로 하였을 때 유의한 변수로 선택된 것은 연령, 교육수준 및 순환기계질환을 의미하는 과거 병력 등이었으며, 확장기 혈압에서는 교육수준, 체질량지수, 과거병력 등이었다. 모형 2에서 수축기 혈압을 종속변수로 하였을때 과거병력이 유의한 기여변수로 선택되었고, 확장기 혈압에서는 체질량지수와 과거병력이 유의한 변수로 도출되어 음주양상 변수는 선택되지 않았다. 선행연구에서 밝혀진 일일 음주량과 혈압과의 정의 관련성이 본 연구에서는 도출되지 않았다. 이러한 연구결과들은 지금까지 연구된 음주와 고혈압의 보건 및 임상적 관련성과는 다소 거리가 있는 결과를 보임으로 음주양상이 건강에 미치는 중요한 영향를 더욱 모호하게 한다. 따라서 추후 이러한 소견은 재검정되어야 할 필요가 있으므로 음주로 인한 혈압의 변화에 미치는 다양한 변수를 고려하고, 음주양상을 측정하고 분석하는 방법들을 도입한 연구들이 뒤따라야 할 것으로 판단된다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine effects of school-based alcohol prevention programs on drinking statuses of adolescents. Methods: The findings of this study was based on the data obtained from the '2015 11th Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-based Survey. The number of study subjects were 68,043. Results: It was figured that 35.6% of the study subjects had experienced school-based alcohol prevention programs within the last 12 months. As the students got older, the chances to participate in the programs decreased (p<.01). For both middle and high school students, current drinking rates for the educated was lower than those of the uneducated students(6.6% vs 8.0%; 22.2% vs 25.9%) and it was statistically significant. A similar pattern was found for high-risk drinking rates. Those educated showed lower rates than the uneducated with statistical significance of p<.001. In addition, the educated had lower problem drinking rate than the uneducated for both middle (p<.05) and high school students (p<.001). The results of logistic regression analysis showed that school-based alcohol prevention programs had statistically significant effect on current drinking status of adolescents (p<.05). However, it had significant effect only on high-risk drinking status of high school students (p<.05) and had no effect on problem drinking. Conclusion: This study addressed effectiveness of school-based adolescent alcohol prevention programs and that it is important to develop means to implement school health education.

Dietary pattern in relation to alcohol consumption was studied in 7,370 Korean adults aged 20 years and older in 1998 Koran National Health and Nutrition Survey in which 24 hour recall method was used for dietary survey, The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of alcohol consumption on food and nutrient intake among Koreans, Individual drinking data was collected by interview as a part of health behavior survey T est was adopted to between nutrient intake level and drinking status. Drinkers of both sexes showed less consumption of foods from vegetable origins than non-drinkers, Consequently,. They also had significantly less carbohydrate consumption then non-drinker. This result may suggest that diets of Korean drinkers is unbalanced in terms of low consumption of food from vegetable origin and carbohydrate, Nutrition education should focus on those issues to improve the nutritional status and prevent potential risk disease by unbalanced diet.
