The Korean Dementia Association (KDA) has been organizing biennial international academic conferences since 2019, with the International Conference of the KDA (IC-KDA) 2023 held in Busan under the theme 'Beyond Boundaries: Advancing Global Dementia Solutions.' The conference comprised 6 scientific sessions, 3 plenary lectures, and 4 luncheon symposiums, drawing 804 participants from 35 countries. Notably, a Korea-Taiwan Joint Symposium addressed insights into Alzheimer's disease (AD). Plenary lectures by renowned scholars explored topics such as microbiome-related AD pathogenesis, social cognition in neurodegenerative diseases, and genetic frontotemporal dementia (FTD). On the first day, specific presentations covered subjects like the gut-brain axis and neuroinflammation in dementia, blood-based biomarkers in AD, and updates in AD therapeutics. The second day's presentations addressed recent issues in clinical neuropsychology, FTD cohort studies, and the pathogenesis of non-AD dementia. The Academic Committee of the KDA compiles lecture summaries to provide comprehensive understanding of the advanced dementia knowledge presented at IC-KDA 2023.

Purpose: Not enough attention has been paid to defecation habits in Japan. This study aimed to emphasize the importance of defecation habits on health and function in Japanese pupils. Methods: Using multiple regression analysis, 2,722 questionnaires obtained from pupils in grades 5 to 12 were analyzed to determine lifestyle habits associated with defecation frequency. Results: Significant regression formulae for defecation scores were obtained for all school types: elementary school (ES) (adjusted R²=0.08, p<0.001), junior high school (JHS) (0.09, p<0.001), and senior high school (SHS) (0.15, p<0.001). The following factors were associated with poorer defecation scores, according to school type: female gender (all 3 school types), breakfast skipping (elementary and JHSs), lower physical activity (JHSs and SHSs), and longer school-day screen time (elementary and SHSs). In addition, poorer self-reported academic performance scores in ES, less standardized body mass index (BMI) in JHS, and shorter non-school- day screen time scores in SHS, were associated with poorer defecation scores. Conclusion: Poor defecation frequency showed significant associations with various lifestyle habits, such as breakfast skipping, physical activity, and screen time, among pupils. Academic performance and standardized BMI were also associated with defecation frequency. More attention should be paid to defecation frequency to sustain health and function in pupils.

본 연구는 2015년 7월부터 2016년 6월까지의 연구기간 동안 내원한 광주선한병원의 건강검진 수진자들의 인스턴트 커피믹스 섭취량을 조사하여 대사증후군 위험인자와의 연관성을 분석하고자 하였다. 그 결과 인스턴트 커피믹스 섭취와 대사증후군의 위험인자 중 특히 허리둘레와 혈중 중성지방 농도는 양의 상관성을 보였고, 인스턴트 커피믹스 섭취빈도가 증가할수록 공복혈당과 혈중 중성지방 농도가 증가하는 유의적인 상관성을 보였다. 또한, 다중회귀분석에서도 1 cup/d 이상 인스턴트 커피믹스를 섭취하는 대상자에서 보정 여부와 상관없이 대사증후군 위험인자인 혈중 중성지방 농도가 상승하는 유의적인 연관성을 나타냈다. 이와 같은 인스턴트 커피믹스와 관련한 연구 조사와 선행 연구 결과를 통하여 볼 때 건강인은 물론 지방 섭취에 주의해야 할 대상자는 섭취 커피 종류에 따른 섭취 빈도와 섭취량 조절 교육이 중요하다.
