Background: It is well established that a healthy lifestyle is of benefit in the prevention of diseases such as cancer and promotion of well-being. Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine lifestyle practice and associated factors among university students in Malaysia. Materials and Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted over six months from November 2011 until May 2012 among the students from the Management and Science University. This study was approved by its ethical committee, the students being explained the objective and invited to participate. A consent form was signed by all study participants. Questionnaire was distributed randomly to the students of the five faculties through their lecturers in different faculty. For univariate analysis t-test and ANOVA test were performed. Multiple linear regression used for multivariate analysis using SPSS 13.0. Results: A total number of 1100 students participated with a mean age of $22.1{\pm}2.21$ (SD) years. The majority were 22 years or younger (56.3%), female (54%), Malay (61.5%), single (92.3%), with family monthly income ${\geq}5000$ Ringgit Malaysia (41.2%). Regarding lifestyle, about were 31.6% smokers, 75.6% never drank alcohol and 53.7% never exercised. Multivariate analysis showed that age, sex, race, parent marital status, participant marital status, type of faculty, living status, smoking status, exercise, residency, brushing teeth, fiber intake and avoid fatty food significantly influenced the practice of drinking alcohol among university students (p=0.006, p=0.042, p<0.001, p=0.003, p=0.002, p<0.001, p<0.001, p<0.001, p<0.001, p<0.001, p<0.001, p=0.003, p<0.001; respectively). It similarly showed that sex, race, parent marital status, participant marital status, monthly family income, exercise, residency, brushing teeth and fiber intake significantly influenced the practice of sun protection (p<0.001, p<0.001, p<0.001, p<0.001, p<0.001, p=0.017, p<0.001, p<0.001, p<0.001; respectively) and that age, sex, parent marital status, participant marital status, type of faculty, living status, exercise, taking non-prescribed medication, brushing the teeth, coffee consumption and fiber intake were significantly influenced the practice of fruits consumption (p=0.008, p<0.001, p<0.001, p<0.001, p<0.001, p<0.001, p<0.001, p<0.001, p=0.002, p<0.001, P<0.001; respectively). Conclusions: This study showed a poor practice of healthy lifestyle among university students. Therefore universities should emphasize a healthy lifestyle in all faculties as a required subject. Socio-demographic characteristics significantly influenced practice and thus should be considered when planning preventive measures among university students. Frequent campaigns and educational seminars are to be encouraged.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to compare dietary habits and mental health among middle school students in urban and rural areas based on bedtime, and to provide evidence supporting appropriate bedtime for Korean middle school students in relation to their healthy dietary habits and mental well-being. SUBJECTS/METHODS: The study population consisted of 25,681 second-year middle school students who participated in the Korea Youth Risk Behavior Survey in 2020-2022. Participants were asked about their bedtime and wake-up time during the past 7 days and were classified into five categories. The study compared the general characteristics, academic factors, dietary habits, and mental health of urban and rural students based on their bedtime. RESULTS: Bedtime was found to be later in the following order: urban female students, rural female students, urban male students, and rural male students. As bedtime got later, the rates of smoking and alcohol consumption increased. Students who went to bed before 11 p.m. had lower academic performance, while rural male students who went to bed after 2 a.m. had lower academic performance. Later bedtime was associated with increased smartphone usage, skipping breakfast, consuming fast food, and drinking carbonated beverages. Later bedtime was also associated with higher perceived stress levels, particularly among students who went to bed after 2 a.m., higher rates of suicidal ideation, experiencing sadness and despair, as well as the prevalence of clinically significant anxiety disorders. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that middle school students who go to bed too late have higher rates of smoking and alcohol drinking, as well as unhealthy eating habits, stress, suicidal ideation, sadness, and anxiety. Therefore, it is necessary to provide educational and social institutional support to promote adequate sleep for the health of adolescents.

Objectives: The purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of gender in the association between the oral symptoms experience and health behavior. Methods: The subjects were 54,219 adolescents selected from the web-based survey of the 11th (2015) Korean Youth Risk Behavior of Korean Center for Disease Control. Data were analyzed using SPSS 18.0. The subjects consisted of 27,198 male students(50.2%) and 27,021 female students(49.8%) from 400 middle schools and 400 high schools. Results: Multiple logistic regression analysis after adjustment to demographic characteristics and oral health behavior showed experience with drinking and smoking in adolescents increased oral symptoms experienced by both male and female students (OR = 1.3, 95% CI = 1.20-1.34 / OR =1.3, 95% CI = 1.18-1.33), (OR = 1.3, 95% CI = 1.24-1.40 / OR = 1.4, 95% CI = 1.43-1.30). But the difference was not significant between genders. In terms of diet, consumption of carbonated beverages, snacks and fast food saw an increase in oral symptoms experience both gender compared with those whose "No(weekly)" in particular to women, alternatively vegetable, fruit consumption(weekly) were having less intake adolescents increase oral symptoms experience than "time daily(weekly)" intake adolescents both boy and girl especially to girl. Conclusions: There was a correlation between oral symptom experiences and health behaviors. There was also slight differences between genders, with more effect shown on female students. Based on this study, proper and systematic education of oral health management should be carried out at schools.

Objectives: The study was conducted to investigate the relationship between several stress measures in everyday life, emotional eating behavior, and dietary pattern (snacks, fatty foods, sweet beverages, fruits and vegetables) in school-aged children. Methods: One hundred and ninety-four students of an elementary school located in Seongnam City participated in the study. The students responded to the survey questionnaire by self-report, which consisted of items regarding general characteristics, height, weight, dietary habits, frequency of consuming healthy (fruits and vegetables) and unhealthy foods (snacks, fatty foods, and sweet beverages), emotional eating behavior, and daily stress. Correlational analysis was performed to examine the relationship between stress, emotional eating behavior, and dietary pattern, and Poisson and logistic regression analyses were conducted to investigate the effects of stress on dietary pattern. Results: Positive correlations were found between all stress factors and emotional eating behavior and between the friend and personal factor (one of the stress factors) and the consumption of sweet beverages. The frequency of consuming sweet beverages was 2.6 times higher in the high stress group than in the low stress group (95% CI). Conclusions: Children's daily stress was associated with emotional eating behavior and undesirable dietary pattern such as consumption of sweet beverages.

대학 교육에 있어서 전공과목의 선택은 학생들의 진로에 중요한 역할을 한다. 하지만, 산업의 변화에 발맞춰 대학 교육도 학과별 전공과목의 분야가 다양해지고 그 수가 많아지고 있다. 이에 학생들은 본인의 진로에 맞게 수업을 선택하여 수강하는 것에 어려움을 겪고 있다. 본 연구는 대학 전공과목 추천 모델을 제시함으로써 개인 맞춤형 교육을 실현하고 학생들의 교육만족도를 제고하고자 한다. 모델 연구에는 대학교 학부생들의 2015년~2017년 수강 이력 데이터를 활용하였으며, 메타데이터로는 학생과 수업의 전공 명을 사용했다. 수강 이력 데이터는 컨텐츠 소비 여부만을 나타낸 암시적 피드백 데이터로, 수업에 대한 선호도를 반영한 것이 아니다. 따라서 학생과 수업의 특성을 나타내는 임베딩 벡터를 도출했을 시, 표현력이 낮다. 본 연구는 이러한 문제점에 착안하여, 네트워크 분석을 통해 학생, 수업의 벡터를 생성하고 이를 모델의 입력 값으로 활용하는 Net-NeuMF 모델을 제시한다. 모델은 암시적 피드백을 가진 데이터를 이용한 대표적인 모델인 원핫 벡터를 이용하는 NeuMF의 구조를 기반으로 하였다. 모델의 입력 벡터는 네트워크 분석을 통해 학생과 수업의 특성을 나타낼 수 있도록 생성하였다. 학생을 표현하는 벡터를 생성하기 위해, 각 학생을 노드로 설정하고 엣지는 두 학생이 같은 수업을 수강한 경우 가중치를 가지고 연결되도록 설계했다. 마찬가지로 수업을 표현하는 벡터를 생성하기 위해 각 수업을 노드로 설정하고 엣지는 공통으로 수강한 학생이 있는 경우 연결시켰다. 이에 각 노드의 특성을 수치화 하는 표현 학습방법론인 Node2Vec을 이용하였다. 모델의 평가를 위해 추천 시스템에서 주로 활용하는 지표 4가지를 사용하였고, 임베딩 차원이 모델에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위해 3가지 다른 차원에 대한 실험을 진행하였다. 그 결과 기존 NeuMF 구조에서 원-핫 벡터를 이용하였을 때보다 차원과 관계없이 평가지표에서 좋은 성능을 보였다. 이에 본 연구는 학생(사용자)와 수업(아이템)의 네트워크를 이용해 기존 원-핫 임베딩 보다 표현력을 높였다는 점, 모델을 구성하는 각 구조의 특성에 맞도록 임베딩 벡터를 활용하였다는 점, 그리고 기존의 방법론에 비해 다양한 종류의 평가지표에서 좋은 성능을 보였다는 점을 기여점으로 가지고 있다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate dietary habits, health lifestyle, preference and intake of beverages of Chinese students in Gyeonggi area. Therefore, we try to identify the factors that affect beverage consumption. According to the analysis of the demographic characteristics of male and female Chinese students, there were 155 male students (49.7%) and 157 female students (50.3%). There were statistically significant differences between the residence period and the time of coming to Korea according to sex (p<0.05), but there was no statistically significant difference between the education level, residence type and Korean ability (p>0.05). Analysis of the differences in health-related lifestyle among Chinese students of both sexes showed statistically significant difference in alcohol drinking, smoking, and exercise according to sex (p<0.05), but no statistically significant difference in computer use time (p>0.05). According to the analysis of the dietary habits of the Chinese students, there was a statistically significant difference in the number of meals per day, breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack frequency and number of midnight snacks, but no statistically significant difference in eating out frequency. As a result of the preference test for general beverages, 4.11 points of water, 3.81 points of milk, 3.64 points of fruit and vegetable juice, 3.58 points of tea, 3.25 points of coffee, 3.22 points of carbonated drinks, 2.92 points of functional drinks, respectively. Male students were more likely to prefer water, tea, and health functional drinks while female students had higher preference for fruit, vegetable juice and vinegar drinks (p<0.05). In general, consumption of regular drinks was 4.95 in water, 3.58 in milk, 3.03 in coffee, 2.92 in carbonated drink, 2.91 in fruit and vegetable juice, 2.63 in tea, 2.07 in functional drink, and 1.44 in vinegar appear. Male students had higher intake of water, tea, carbonated drinks, and health functional drinks while female students had higher intake of fruit and vegetable juice (p<0.05). The results of correlation analysis of factors affecting the general drinking of Chinese students are as follows. The intake of tea was related to the period of residence and dietary habits, the intake of milk for breakfast, the number of snacks and midnight snacks for carbonated drinks, and the fruit vegetable juice were related to dietary habits (p<0.01, p<0.05).

Purpose - When it comes to first impressions of family restaurants, people basically think of the following factors: cozy, a refreshing space, indoor lighting, atmospheric music, the best-quality service through mutual interactions with employees, birthday events, follow-up customer management, brand image, and many others. Focusing on such family restaurants characteristics, with consumption experience and customer satisfaction determined as mediator variables, this study looks into the selection factors that affect customer loyalty when choosing a family restaurant. Subsequently, the study conducts an empirical analysis of these selection factors with the greatest influence. Research design, data, and methodology - This study analyzed 200 total surveys of family restaurant customers including college students, workers, housewives, and others. The survey was conducted over two weeks in May 2014. For statistical processing, SPSS 21 was used for factor analysis and reliability analysis as well as AMOS for structural equation analysis. In terms of a variable that would influence either consumption experience or customer satisfaction at the restaurants, the study introduced the concept of customer equity. The study designed a model based on a hypothesis developed using the following factors: customer encounter service value, customer convenience value, brand equity, relationship equity, and other factors defined as components of customer equity by Rust et al. (2000) determined as independent variables as well as with customer experience and customer satisfaction set as mediator variables. The hypothesis, after all, assumed that customer loyalty would be positively (+) influenced. Results - The analysis results from the study reported that brand value, customer encounter service value, and relationship value have positive (+) effects on consumption experience and customer satisfaction. However, as for customer convenience value, this turned out not to have a statistically significant influence on consumption experience and customer satisfaction. In regard to a relation between consumption experience and customer satisfaction, the results showed that the former affects the latter, and in terms of intervening variables, both of these appeared to have a positive (+) effect on customer loyalty. Conclusions - This study suggests that family restaurants should look for strategies that focus on how to promote customer relationships. For example, restaurants could try birthday events or discount events to achieve this goal. Since the study ended up realizing relatively low levels of suitability and statistical significance, the path of the study changed. After all, in order to increase suitability and statistical significance, the study had to eliminate factors such as service quality and others and for this reason the study was unable to conduct the analysis as initially planned. In addition, the data samples of the research were mainly gathered from students, which made it hard to say that the analysis was carried out on samples from every different group. Future research should analyze the characteristics of each group of customers for factors affecting customer satisfaction and customer loyalty in the family restaurant chain.

Purpose: The purposes of this study were to check the obesity of middle and high school students in the nation and identify factors influencing their obesity. Methods: The present study is a secondary analysis research that obtained permission to use the primitive data of 10th (2014) Online Survey on Adolescents' Health Behaviors by the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and analyzed the primitive data according to the purposes. Results: The findings show that the BMI of middle and high school students in the nation was $20.7kg/m^2$ with the obesity and non-obesity group recording $27.0kg/m^2$ and $19.9kg/m^2$, respectively. Factors influencing the obesity of adolescents include gender, grade, educational background of parent, school grades for the last 12 months, satisfaction with sleep, fast food consumption, ramen consumption, intense and muscle exercise three times a week or more, subjective sense of health, stress, suicidal ideation, and hours of Internet usage per week. Conclusion: For the management of adolescent obesity, there is a need for obesity management programs taking the characteristics of male students into consideration. The possibilities of obesity grow according to the grades, which means that both the teachers and parents should offer more guidance on weight control in upper grades. The adjustment of adolescent obesity requires psychological health management including stress and suicidal ideation as well as diet control and exercise. It is also needed to apply a stepwise obesity management program according to the hours of internet usage and dependence on the internet

본 연구는 현재 한국의 대학에 재학 중인 중국인 여대생 114명을 대상으로 중국인 유학생들의 영양소 섭취상태를 조사하고, 중국과 한국에서의 식습관 변화 및 식습관 변화에 따른 영양소 섭취상태를 평가하고자 수행되었으며, 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1) 중국인 유학생의 평균 에너지 섭취량은 $1,586.9{\pm}474.2$ kcal였고, 탄수화물, 단백질, 지방의 구성비는 56 : 14 : 30으로 나타났으며, 전체 대상자의 23.7%가 단백질의 평균필요량에 미치지 못하고 있었고 43%가 권장섭취량에 미만으로 섭취하고 있었다. 엽산의 평균필요량 미만으로 섭취하는 비율은 대상자의 93%였고, 대상자의 60~70%가 칼슘, 아연, 비타민 A, 비타민 $B_2$, 비타민 C을 평균필요량 미만으로 섭취하는 것으로 나타났다. 2) 중국 유학생의 총 식습관 점수는 $64.3{\pm}9.9$점으로 유학전 $75.9{\pm}9.9$점에 비해 유의적으로 낮아졌으며 (p < 0.001), 특히 식사의 규칙성과 균형성, 아침식사 여부 및 단백질 식품, 녹황색 채소와 과일 등의 섭취빈도가 좋지 않은 방향으로 변화되었고, 가공식품의 섭취와 외식의 빈도는 더 많아진 것으로 조사되었다. 3) 한국 유학 전 후의 식습관 혹은 식행동 변화 여부에 따른 영양소 섭취 수준을 비교한 결과, 한국에 온 이후 아침 결식률이 높아진 사람들은 단백질, 지방, 칼슘, 비타민 $B_2$ 및 니아신의 섭취량이 낮았고, 또 중국에서 보다 녹황색 채소를 더 적게 먹게 된 경우는 식이섬유소와 비타민 C를, 우유 및 유제품의 경우는 단백질과 칼슘비타민 $B_2$와 비타민 $B_6$를 비롯하여 비타민 E와 엽산을 적게 섭취하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구 결과, 성인기 식생활과 건강을 결정하는 20대 초반 재한 중국인 여대생들의 경우 바람직하지 않은 식습관과 이로 인한 영양 섭취 상태의 불균형을 나타내는 것으로 조사되었다. 이상의 결과는 고국을 떠나 낯선 문화에 적응하여야 하는 중국인 유학생들에 대한 영양교육 프로그램의 개발과 식생활 관리가 필요하다고 하겠다. 또 올바른 식생활의 정립은 심리적, 정서적 건강상태에도 영향을 미칠 수 있으며, 대학생활의 적응과 성공적인 유학생활에도 도움이 될 것으로 생각된다.
