Lifestyle and dietary behavior intervention as the primary prevention of lipid disorder seems safe and compatible with other treatments of cardiovascular diseases. Cross-sectional associations between lifestyle factors and dietary behavioral factors with plasma lipid and lipoprotein levels were analyzed in 189 middle-aged men in Suwon, Korea. Overnight fasting plasma levels of total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein(HDL)-cholesterol, triacylglycerol and glucose were analyzed. Blood pressure and anthropometric data were also measured. Lifestyle factors such as smoking status, alcohol consumption and frequency of physical exercise were evaluated by a self-administered questionnaire. Questions regarding dietary behavior were also asked. The subjects were 43.8%${\pm}$7.9 years old, and 23.8%${\pm}$2.6kg/m$^2$. From stepwise regression analyses, significant correlates with total cholesterol level were body mass index(BMI), alcohol intake(negative), age and coffee drinking(model R$^2$=14.3%). BMI, breakfast-skipping, age, and sleeping hours were significant for triacylglycerol level(model R$^2$=15.8%). BMI, alcohol drinking(negative), age, and coffee drinking were significant for low-density lipoprotein(LDL)(model R$^2$=11.7%). Age(negative), BMI(negative), alcohol drinking, stress level(negative), physical exercise, and cigarette smoking(negative) were significant for high-density lipoprotein(HDL)(model R$^2$=12.1%). From stepwise regression analyses, excluding BMI and age as factors in the model, alcohol intake(negative) and coffee drinking were significantly correlated with total cholesterol level(model R$^2$=4.4%) : breakfast-skipping with triacylglycerol(model R$^2$=3.2%) : alcohol intake (negative) with LDL level(model R$^2$=3.4%) : alcohol intake, physical exercise and stress level(negative) with HDL level(model R$^2$=6.3%). The findings suggest that a healthy daily lifestyle and dietary behavior may have an anti-atherogenic effect by altering plasma lipid and lipoprotein levels in middle-aged Korean men.

Objectives: This study investigated dietary and lifestyle factors associated with the weight status among Korean adolescents in multicultural families. Methods: This cross-sectional study analyzed 1,751 multicultural families' adolescents who participated in the 2017-2018 Korea Youth Risk Behavior Surveys. Information on dietary and lifestyle factors was self-reported using a web-based questionnaire and this information included breakfast and foods consumption, perceived health status, alcohol drinking, smoking, physical activity, and weight control efforts. Body mass index (BMI) was calculated based on the self-reported height and body weight (kg/㎡). Weight status was assessed according to the 2017 Korean National Growth Chart: underweight (weight-for-age <5^th percentiles), overweight (85^th≤ BMI-for-age <95^th percentiles), and obese (BMI-for-age ≥95^th percentiles). Multiple logistic regression analysis was performed to examine the dietary and lifestyle factors associated with weight status after adjustment for covariates. Results: Among Korean adolescents from multicultural families, the prevalence of overweight/obesity was 20.9%, whereas about 7% of adolescents were underweight. The weight status did not show differences according to gender, school level, area of residence, and household income. Compared to adolescents who did not have breakfast during the previous week, those who had breakfast 3-4 days/week and ≥5 days/week had a 42% (p=0.021) and a 37% (p=0.009) lower prevalence of overweight/obesity, respectively. The adolescents who frequently consumed carbonated soft drinks (≥5 times/week) showed an odds ratio (OR) of 1.69 (95% CI=1.01-2.83) for overweight/obesity relative to those adolescents who did not consume carbonated soft drinks. The OR of being underweight for adolescents who ate fast food ≥3 times/week was 1.97 (95% CI=1.04-3.71) compared to those adolescents who had not eaten fast food during the previous week. Conclusions: Dietary and lifestyle factors were associated with overweight/obesity as well as underweight among Korean adolescents in multicultural families. Our findings could be used to design and provide nutrition interventions for this specific population.

This study looks at the patterns of married women's lifestyles and verifies whether there are differences in their preferences, the will to continue shopping, and the importance of healthy foods. The paper analyzes the relative influence of each lifestyle pattern on the level of satisfaction with healthy foods. The results of the analysis of this study are as follows. To find patterns in the lifestyles of married women ages 20s to 50s, the factors were analyzed and five lifestyle patterns were extracted: health managing type, fashion pursuing type, self-expressing type, family-oriented type, and eco-friendly type. If we examine the purchasing of healthy foods for each lifestyle, women with a self-expressing lifestyle gain more information from news articles, books, and salespeople than from other information sources. Women of the health managing, family-oriented, and eco-friendly types had high purchasing frequencies and amounts. A cluster analysis was carried out to categorize the different groups being investigated into lifestyle types. They were categorized into the four clusters: active multiple-oriented type; fashion, self-expressing compromising type; passive well-being oriented type; and family and health managing type. It has been verified that there are differences among the clusters in terms of the level of importance of products, contributions to health, as well as distribution and management of healthy foods. To be more specific, the level of importance of the products as well as their distribution and management manifested as being higher among the active multiple-oriented type and the family-oriented and health managing types. The level of importance of contributions to health scored high among all groups, except the passive well-being oriented type. The active multiple-oriented type and the family-oriented and health managing types showed a high level of preference and will to continue purchasing healthy foods, while the fashion and self-expressing compromising types and passive well-being oriented type showed a low level of preference and will. In order to find patterns in the level of satisfaction with healthy foods, three factors were analyzed: credibility of labels, contributions to health, and satisfaction with the store. The factors that had the greatest influence on the total level of satisfaction was the credibility of labels for the family-oriented lifestyle; a product's contribution to health for the health managing lifestyle; and the store for the fashion pursuing lifestyle.

This study was conducted to examine the effect of children's dietary quality, dietary habits, food behavior and health-related lifestyles according to the mother's lifestyles of health and sustainability (LOHAS). The subjects were 580 children. Mother's LOHAS attitude index was 66.85 points and 100 points was a perfect score. The mother's high LOHAS attitude items that children perceived were "My mother often communicates with the family"(3.99 points) and "My mother thinks that the family's health is more important than her health"(3.93 points). In contrast, the LOHAS attitude items for "My mother does community service activity on weekends"(2.78 points), and "My mother participates in environmental protection service activity for the local community"(2.78 points) were very low. The high LOHAS behavior index of mothers was "resource saving", whereas "social welfare" scored low. When self-perceived health status and monthly income of children was high, the mother's LOHAS score was high. The LOHAS attitude index of mothers had a meaningful impact on the children's dietary quality, dietary habits, food behavior and health-related lifestyles. The most frequent food behavior variables were "high skipping rate", "frequency of snacks is 2~4 times per week", "speed of eating is rapid", and 'meals' amount is sufficient. The highest daily life habits item was "I try to maintain a pleasant and enjoyable life style"(3.42 points). The highest nutrient intake attitude score was "I tend to eat rice everyday."(3.41 points). They were highly recognized with "moderate physical activity", "high exercise preference", "positive posture exercise", "exercise <2 days per week", and "over 30 minutes exercise time per day" for the exercise performance status items. It was verified that the higher mother's LOHAS lifestyle score is, the higher children's food behavior, daily life habits, nutrient intake, exercise performance state score are.

연구는 중국 소비자들의 식생활라이프 스타일 요인에 따른 인구학적 특성을 구분함으로써 중국소비자들의 식행동의 차별성을 소비자 집단에 따라 세분화 하여 분석하고, 향후 타겟 소비자의 식품과 음식에 대한 속성과 특성 요구를 수용하는 상품개발을 위한 기초자료를 마련함을 그 목적으로 한다. 식생활라이프스타일에 대한 요인분석 결과 음식의 맛과 질을 중요시여기는 미식요인(Gourmet factor), 건강요인(Healthy factor), 편의요인(Convenience factor), 경제요인(Economic factor) 등 4개 요인이 추출되었으며, 식생활라이프스타일 요인점수에 따라 4개의 군집으로 분류되었다. 이들 4개 그룹은 차별화된 식생활라이프스타일 유형으로 특징지을 수 있으며, 그룹 1 미식경제군은 20대의 젊은이들의 구성비율이 높고 자취의 비율이 높으며, 외식횟수가 높으며 하루 세끼 식사를 규칙적으로 하는 비율은 상대적으로 낮았다. 이들은 식생활라이프스타일은 미식요인과 경제적 요인에 민감한 반면 건강요인과 편의요인에의 민감도가 낮았으며, 식행동에서도 규칙적이며 균형잡힌 식생활에 대한 실천이 가장 낮은 것으로 조사되었다. 즉 음식과 식품에 대하여 품질에 있어서 맛을 추구하지만 몸의 건강을 지키기 위한 식생활의 실천은 낮은 것으로 특징지을 수 있다. 그룹 2 두루관심군은 30대 구성 비율이 높았고 고학력층과 고소득층이 다른 그룹에 비해 높았다. 식생활라이프 스타일 요인 전반에 대한 추구성향이 타 그룹들에 비해 높아, 다양하고 새로운 음식, 외식과 삶에 대한 즐거움을 즐기는 미식을 추구하고, 건강과 관련되는 웰빙 식재료와 식품에 대한 추구도 높았다. 그러나 경제적인 요인인 쿠폰 활용, 가성비 등을 따지고 상대적으로 편의 식품을 적게 소비하며, 식행동 및 식습관에서도 다른 그룹보다 규칙적이며, 특히 유제품과 동물성 단백질의 섭취가 높고, 균형 잡힌 건강식을 섭취하는 식생활 고관심의 스마트 컨슈머의 성향을 보인다. 그룹 3 건강경제군은 40대 이상의 남성비율과 주부의 구성 비율이 높으며 소득수준이 다른 그룹에 비해 낮은, 가족형의 소비자군을 구성한다. 즉 식생활라이프스타일에서도 건강식품, 자연식재료 등에 건강성을 추구하고 식품구매에 있어서 경제적인 가성비를 추구하는 성향을 보이나 식행동 및 식습관 분석 결과 가공식품의 섭취가 다른 그룹에 비해 높은 경향을 보였다. 마지막으로 그룹 4는 30대 이상, 여성의 비율이 상대적으로 높았으며, 대학 이상의 교육수준도 다른 그룹에 비해 높았다. 이들은 가격과 편의성보다는 건강과 맛을 추구하는 그룹으로 중국의 중년여성들의 로하스 지향성이 가장 많이 나타나며, 영양지식을 실생활에 직접 활용하는 것으로 조사되었다. 중국인의 식생활은 최근 10년 사이 전통적인 농수산물의 소비에서 간편식이나, 서구식 식사 등으로 변화되고 있으며, 도시거주민 등을 중심으로 웰빙과 건강, 식생활에 대한 관심도도 높아지고 있다. 미식과 웰빙, 가성비와 간편식 등을 추구하는 식생활라이프스타일은 우리나라를 비롯한 일본, 유럽 등에서도 보편적인 식행동 등으로 나타나며 따라서 중국인들은 높아진 소득과 더불어 건강과 미식 등을 지향하는 다양한 식생활 행동패턴이 조사되었다. 본 연구에서 식생활라이프스타일은 유형별 집단으로 구별되며 차별적 특성을 나타내었고, 이들의 식생활라이프스타일에 따라 식행동 및 식습관은 유의적으로 차이를 보였다. 즉 소비자들이 유지하는 식생활은 그들이 유지하는 식생활에 대한 태도, 행동, 의견에 따라 차별됨을 알 수 있다. 이와 같은 식생활관련 라이프스타일은 소비자들의 삶의 가치와 의식이 반영되는 것이며, 그들만의 고유한 특성이 식생활에 반영되는 것을 알 수 있다. 유사한 식생활라이프스타일을 가진 집단은 세분화된 소비자 집단으로 구별될 수 있으며, 세분화된 집단별로 구매행동의 차이를 보이거나, 선호하는 상품의 유형과 특성에 차이를 보이며, 인구통계학적인 특성에 따라서도 구분되어 질 수 있다. 그러므로 향후 중국 소비자들을 대상으로 하는 식품이나 음식 상품의 개발에서 식품과 식생활에 관련된 미식적, 건강적, 편의적, 경제적인 요소가 주요한 차별점이 될 수 있으며, 중국인들은 과거와 다르게 식품의 건강성과 미식성 등을 고려하고 있고, 식생활라이프스타일 요인과 인구학적인 특성, 식행동 등으로 세분화된 타겟 소비자들의 수용성과 욕구를 고려한 본 연구의 결과가 상품개발 마케팅 활동자료로써 의미 있게 사용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다. 그러나 본 연구는 중국의 지역적인 분류를 고려하지 않은 온라인을 활용하는 소비자들만을 대상으로 실시되어 조사대상자에 대한 연구한계를 가지고 있으므로, 향후 중국의 다양한 지역과 다양한 민족적 특성을 반영하는 연구가 진행되어야 할 것으로 사료된다.

Because excessive consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages may reduce the quality of nutritional intake, this study examined the consumption patterns of commercial beverages, lifestyle, dietary habits, and perception of sweet taste. Participants were 407 male university students in Kyeooggido, Korea, and information was collected by self-administered questionnaire. Among them, 58 nonsmokers volunteered to participate in the taste test. Participants were divided into three groups according to the frequency of commercial beverage consumptions: 120 rare (< 1 serving/week), 227 moderate (1-3 servings/week) and 133 frequent (> 3 servings/week) consumption groups. More subjects from the rare consumption group chose water, tea, and soy milk, and more from the frequent consumption group chose carbonated soft drinks and coffee (P=0.031) as their favorite drinks. Frequent consumption group consumed fruit juice, coffee, and sports and carbonated soft drinks significantly more often (P=0.002, P=0.000, P=0.000, respectively), but not milk and tea. Frequent consumption group consumed beverages casually without a specific occasion (P=0.000) than rare consumption group. Frequent drinking of commercial beverages was associated with frequent snacking (P=0.002), meal skipping (P=0.006), eating out (P=0.003), eating delivered foods (P=0.000), processed foods (P=0.001), and sweets (P=0.002), and drinking alcoholic beverages (P=0.029). Frequent consumption group tended to have a higher threshold of sweet taste without reaching statistical significance. The results provide information for developing strategies for evidence-based nutrition education program focusing on reducing consumption of unnecessary sugar-sweetened commercial beverages.

Objectives: This study was conducted to examine the length of exposure to smartphone and its association with dietary behavior toward snacks, lifestyle, and nutrition knowledge in elementary school students. Methods: Subjects were 372 5th and 6th grade schoolchildren in Cheongju, Korea, and data was collected by a self-administered questionnaire. They were divided into two groups by the time spent using smartphone: moderate (< 2 hours/day) and overexposure (${\geq}2$ hours/day). Data was analyzed using frequency analysis, ${\chi}^2$-test, and independent t-test as well as analysis of covariance when necessary. Results: Approximately half of subjects (41.4%) reported spending ${\geq}2$ hours/day using smartphone. That habit was more frequent among students in the 6th grade, those who received more monthly allowance, and who has a working mother. 63.4% of the subjects reported that they consumed snacks while watching television, using a computer and/or a smartphone and 48.1% said that they consumed snacks while they use a smartphone. Both situations were most prevalent among those with overexposure to smartphone (${\geq}2$ hours/day). We also observed that a higher percentage of subjects from the overexposure group spent more money on snack foods with the preference for ice cream, fast food, and carbonated drinks. Further, those in the overexposure group consumed more ice cream, cookies, and carbonated drinks. In addition, they had less desirable dietary behavior and health-related lifestyle (sleep duration and frequency of regular exercise) compared to those with moderate smartphone usage (< 2 hours/day). However, there was no statistical difference in nutrition knowledge among children with different degrees of smartphone usage. Conclusions: Our results showed that longer smartphone use was associated with less desirable snack preference/consumption and other dietary behavior in elementary school students. Thus interest and positive attitudes towards healthy snacks and diet should be reinforced in nutrition education programs, especially for those who are prone to use smartphones.

Objectives: This study was conducted to survey the related factors of metabolic syndrome of Chinese workers aged 20 years and above. Methods: The study was conducted at three locations in Shandong, China, currently working and took the physical examination (PE) within one year in the area as target participants. Personal characteristics, physical and biochemical results based on the PE, lifestyle habits, and food intake of the participants were used to analyze the relationship with metabolic syndrome. Results: Results showed that overall, thirty-one subjects (22.5%) had metabolic syndrome, twenty males (32.7%) and eleven females (14.2%). Metabolic syndrome was related to age, gender, educational level and occupational type with more risk in male (P < 0.05), people of older age (P < 0.001), low educational level (P < 0.05) and non-office workers (P < 0.01). According to the life style scores, lifestyle evaluation showed specifically alcohol consumption and smoking (P < 0.001) and stress management (P < 0.05) as important factors that were associated with the metabolic syndrome. High calorie (P < 0.01) and carbohydrate (P < 0.01) intakes were observed on male participants with metabolic syndrome in comparison to the non-metabolic syndrome but no significant difference on female participants. Conclusions: This results of this study can be used as significant supporting data to prevent and control metabolic syndrome in Chinese workers.
