This study was carried out to investigate the difference between sutured anastomosis and stapler anastomosis (open lumina technique) of jejunum in dogs. Fifteen mongrel-breed female dogs weighting 4 to 6 kgs were allocated to three groups; sutured end-to-end anastomosis (Group I), sutured side-to-side anastomosis (Group II) and stapler anastomosis (Group III), five dogs per each group. All dogs in different anastomosis pattern were compared with time for total operation and suture elapsed for intestines to anastomose, clinical signs, status of feces, complications for 14 days after operation. The total operation time and suture time needed for intestinal anastomosis were significantly(p<0.05) shorter in Group III than Group I and II. All dogs showed no significant difference in vitality, appetite, vomiting between groups for 14 days after operation. All dogs, except one dog in Group II, showed normal vitality and appetite since 7-8 days after operation. Initial return of fecal passage showed in all dogs 8 days after operation and thereafter normal feces were observed in most of the dogs. According to results, all dogs with normal vitality and appetite for 8 days showed good prognosis. In complications after operation, only one dog in Group II showed dehiscence of anastomotic site. There was significant(p<0.05) differences between groups in speed of operation. And all dogs, except one dog in Group II, showed good clinical condition and prognosis. In conclusion, the stapler anastomosis is considered to be more reliable, faster, and precision method compared to the sutured anastomosis for intestinal anastomosis in dogs.

1. Objectives Theoretically Healthy Condition of four constitution is based on intact state of four fundamental factors - digestion, urination, perspiration, defecation. Each one of these four factors is specifically related to its respective constitution. We made SHI(Sasangin Health Index) 10 items from four factors, and examined clinical efficacy of the four factors as index of health status in four constitution. 2. Methods and Procedures We offered QSCCII, SHI and SF-36 questionnaires to adults who had a periodic medical examination. 233 adults were classified to one of four constitution. We compared means of 8 scale scores of SF-36, and computed the correlation coefficient between 8 scale scores of SF-36 and 10 item scores of SHI in four constitution. 3. Results In Soyangin, stool volume and frequency are weakly correlated with health status(P<0.05). In Soeumin, appetite is weakly correlated with health status(P<0.05). In Taeumin, there is no correlation between perspiration and health status. 4. Conclusions 2 factors - digestion, defecation - had clinical efficacy as index of health status.

Our previous studies have demonstrated the inadequate nutritional status of Vietnamese female marriage immigrants in Korea. Major possible reasons include food insecurity due to economic problems as well as a lack of adjustment to unfamiliar Korean foods and limited access to Vietnamese foods; however, no study has investigated food insecurity among such intermarried couples. This study was performed to investigate the prevalence of food insecurity in Korean-husband-Vietnamese-wife couples and to determine whether they exhibit an intrahousehold discrepancy regarding food insecurity. A cross-sectional analysis of the Cohort of Intermarried Women in Korea study was performed with 84 intermarried couples. Among the 84 Vietnamese immigrants, 48.8% and 41.7% had food insecurity due to economic problems and a lack of foods appealing to their appetite, respectively. There was a marked discrepancy in reporting food insecurity between Vietnamese wives (22.6-38.1%) and their Korean husbands (6.0-15.5%). Vietnamese wives were five and two times more food-insecure due to economic problems and no foods appealing to their appetite, respectively, than their Korean spouses. A follow-up study is needed to investigate the causes of this discrepancy and ways of reducing food insecurity among female marriage immigrants living in low-income, rural communities.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the difference in nutrient intake according to the level of self-perception of health status, aging status and life satisfaction of the rural elderly. The factors for the study were surveyed by interview method. The subjects were 270 people(71 male, 129 female) aged over 65 years(73.5 $\pm$ 5.6ys) in the Ham-an area. The obtained results as follows : By evaluation of self-perception of health status, 57.5% of subjects answered they are in a bad health condition. The 91.5% of subjects had diseases(rheumatitis & arthritis 31.4%, cardiovascular disease 20.2%, gastric disease 10.2%). The women had more diseases than the men(p < 0.01). The subjects took medical treatment in private hospital(40.5%) and public health centers(35.0%). The men showed better level of aging status(p < 0.001) and life satisfaction index(p < 0.01) than the worsen. Living with spouse influenced the aging status(p < 0.05) and the more pocket money influenced life satisfaction(p < 0.05) and aging status(p < 0.05). The elderly who eat regularly 3 times a day(p < 0.05) and have a good appetite(p < 0.001) appeared to have positive effect on the self perception of health status and aging status. An increasing level of the self-perception of health status and regular exercise worked to improve aging status(p < 0.001). The habits of smoking and alcohol drinking, however had no effect on any index. The self-perception of health status affected the nutrient intake, but only in female elderly. The aging status and the life satisfaction index related overall positively to the intake of nutrients. In conclusion, the study shows that gender did influence nutrient intake in the elderly. The women who live alone rated lowest in social resources and health condition therefore their nutrient intake was also extremely in deficit. For successful aging, a program for rural elderly is needed, i.e. actions to provide minimum economic life, food delivery and psychological/physical health care through regional public health centers.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the nutritional status of low-income urban elders by diversified ways, and to analyze the risk factors for malnutrition. Methods: The participants in this study were 183 low-income elders registered at a visiting healthcare facility in a public health center. Data were collected using anthropometric measurements, and a questionnaire survey. For data analysis, descriptive statistics, ${\chi}^2$-test, t-test, Fisher's exact test, multiple logistic regression analysis were performed using SPSS 20.0. Results: Regarding the nutritional status of low-income elders as measured by the Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA), 10.4% of the elders were classified as malnourished; 57.4% as at high risk for malnutrition; and 32.2% as having normal nutrition levels. The main factors affecting malnutrition for low-income elders were loss of appetite (OR=3.34, 95% CI: 1.16~9.56) and difficulties in meal preparation (OR=2.35, 95% CI: 1.13~4.88). Conclusion: In order to effectively improve nutrition in low-income urban elders, it is necessary to develop individual intervention strategies to manage factors that increase the risk of malnutrition and to use systematic approach strategies in local communities in terms of a nutrition support system.

This study was conducted to investigate food habits and eating behavior of preschool children. Food habit, eating behavior and health status were investigated by using a questionnaire answered by the mothers of 312 children aged 6 to 7 years old who lived in Uiwang. The average height, weight, Kaup index were 115.08cm, 21.41 kg, 16.13, respectively, for boys 111.37 cm, 19.93 kg, 15.72 for girls. Results showed that 72.16% of subjects skipped the breakfast meal. One of the main reason fur skipping breakfast was 'no appetite'(53.14%). It was found that 49.67% of the subjects belonged to 'good' in health status. The eating behavior of 'watching TV or playing a toy during meal' and 'can eat the rice by oneself were significantly higher score in girls than in boys(p<0.05). Food attention of the parents for the health of children was the highest in 'keep regular meals a day'(92.65%). Health status showed significantly negative correlations with kaup index and eating behavio(p<0.001). Kaup index(p<0.05) and health attention(p<0.001) were positively related with eating behavior. Based on this study, nutritional education program for preschool children would be required for the dietetics teacher to guide the children and more attention should be paid to the nutritional education of food habits in this age group and their mothers.

본 연구는 국내 노인의 삶의 질과 영양개선 및 건강을 증진시킬 수 있는 기초자료를 얻고자 실시된 단면연구로서 재가 노인의 식욕부진 유병 상태를 조사하고, 식욕부진과 관련된 사회 인구학적 특성, 병리적 특성과 심리 특성 및 일상생활 수행능력 등을 조사하였다. 자료 수집은 서울, 경기, 충북 지역의 65세 이상 재가 노인 419명을 대상으로 2012년 9월에서 12월까지 구조화된 설문지를 이용하여 일대일 면접방법으로 수행하였다. 연구 결과 국내 노인의 식욕부진 유병률은 전체 응답자 가운데 35.1%였고, 특히 남성노인의 식욕부진 유병률이 여성노인보다 유의하게 높았다. 남성노인의 식욕부진은 중추신경계 질환을 진단받은 경우가 가장 많았고 여성노인의 경우 식욕부진은 내분비 질환이 있는 경우가 가장 많았다. 또한 우울증 증상이 있거나 일상생활에서 의존도가 높은 경우 식욕부진이 현저한 것으로 관찰되었다. 이상의 결과로부터 국내 재가 노인들의 식욕부진이 심각한 수준임을 알 수 있었고, 노인의 식욕부진은 생리적 특성과 병리적 특성은 물론 우울과 같은 심리적 특성과도 깊은 상관성이 있음을 알 수 있었다. 향후 노인의 식욕부진 개선이나 예방을 위하여 구체적인 영양중재와 영양치료가 필요하며, 노인인구 증가에 따라 노인의 식욕증진을 고려한 노인식품 개발이 시급히 필요할 것으로 생각된다. 본 연구 결과는 다음과 같은 제한점을 갖는다. 본 조사는 단면연구이므로 연구 결과에서 나타난 식욕 수준에 관련된 인자들이 노인의 식욕부진 원인으로 작용했는지는 알 수 없다. 따라서 추후 보다 대표성을 갖는 한국 노인을 대상으로 노인의 식욕부진 유병률의 조사는 물론 식욕부진과 관련된 원인 규명을 위하여 횡단연구가 필요하다. 또한 노인을 일대일 대면하여 자가보고 하는 방법으로 자료를 수집하였으므로 문항에 따라서는 노인에 따라 사실보다 과장하거나 축소하는 등 응답 수준이 주관적일 수도 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고 본 연구에서 나타난 식욕부진과 관련된 인자들은 선행 연구와 유사하며 따라서 자가보고에 의한 사회적 기대 효과는 다소 적었다고 판단된다. 향후 재가노인의 범위를 성별, 연령별, 지역별, 거주형태별 등으로 일치시키고 확대하여 노인의 식욕부진 실태와 관련 인자 연구의 확대를 제안한다.

This study is designed to assess the prevalence at risk of malnutrition according to the Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) and evaluate the factors influencing on the nutritional risk of the elderly. Three hundred and nine elderly (110 men and 199 women: mean age =74.1) who participated in meal service in the Chung-buk province were investigated. Mean MNA total score was 21.9 and women had significantly lower MNA scores than men (respectively, 21.5 and 22.8). In the mean time mean MNA-SF (Short Form) score was 10.7, respectively 10.6 for the women and 11.0 for the men, with the difference being statistically significant. The MNA classified 33% of the elderly as well-nourished, 61.7% as at risk of malnutrition and 5.3% as overt malnourished. However, MNA-SF categorized the examinees 40.2% as good and 59.8% at nutritional risk. Those who identified as malnourished elderly had significantly lower mean BMI, mid-arm and calf circumference, poorer functional abilities (ADL, IADL) , lower MAR and food habits scores, and higher number of nutrient $\leq$ 75% of RDA than those with at risk of malnutrition and well nourished. Also socioeconomic status such as educational level, self-rated economic status, poverty level, and marital status significantly influenced nutritional status. Similar effect was observed in self-rated nutritional status and health status, dental status, appetite change according to MNA score. Stepwise multiple regression analysis indicated that weight loss was the most predictive item in the total MNA and MNA-SF score. It was found that items such as mobility, living status (home vs institution) , mode of feeding, and pressure sores were inappropriate for assessment of the elderly who are able to participate meal service program. Also, some modifications of items in MNA are needed in order to apply to Korean elderly. Even though the MNA seems to be an useful tool to screen those old people at risk of malnourished, a lot of work is still to be done with this assessment tool to secure its reliability.

The purpose of this study was to analyze and consumption patterns diet/low-calorie food. Ubjects were 353 adult women aged 20s~50s. Ubjects were divided into three groups according to body mass index (BMI): Normal group (BMI>23.0), overweight group (23.0${\leq}$BMI<25.0), and obesity group (BMI${\geq}$25.0). This study collected all information by self-administrated questionnaires. The SPSS version 21.0 was used for analysis of data. The obesity group lower education level (p<0.001), higher age (p<0.001) and higher income (p<0.001) than normal group. However, score of health status was highest in normal group (p<0.001). Proportion of obesity group pill type diet/low-calorie (p<0.034), drug (diuretic, appetite suppressant and riental medicine) (p<0.001), and cosmetic surgery (p<0.001). The main reason for consumption of diet/low-calorie was control without starving (28.0%). Obese group emphasized manufacturer, ingredient and reputation, whereas the normal group emphasized price and expected effectiveness (p<0.001).
