Objectives : The purpose of this study was to provide some information on down-to-earth oral health policy to improve the systemic health involving oral health and the quality of life in Korean adults. Methods : The third-year data of the 4th National Health and Nutrition Survey in 2009 were analyzed, and $x^2$(Chi-square) test was carried out to see whether there would be any gaps in subjective oral health status according to demographic characteristics, systemic health state, frequency of eating between meals and oral health behavior. In terms of the DMFT index, one-way ANOVA was utilized, and then Scheffe post-hoc analysis was conducted. Besides, multiple regression analysis was made to grasp the relationship of oral health behavior to subjective oral health state and the DMFT index. Results : The demographic characteristics, systemic health status and oral health behavior had a significant relationship to both of subjective oral health status and the DMFT index. As a result of analyzing the relationship of oral health behavior to subjective oral health state and the DMFT index, the subfactors of oral health behavior exerted a significant independent influence on subjective oral health status and the DMFT index. Conclusions : The findings of the study suggest that in order to promote the oral health of adults, preventive measures should be taken, and systematic oral health education should be provided. As there is an increase in the elderly population in Korea, the successful implementation of senior oral health plans and the development of oral health programs geared toward adults are both required.

The purpose of this study was to assess healthy city level of the selected cities of Korea, Japan, and England using healthy city index. Based on WHO health city profile, this study proposed 5 index domains comprised with human biology, life style, shelthe & socioeconomic data, environmental & infrastructural data, and public health policy and services. We identified 6 cities (Changwon, Wonju, Seoul, Ichikawa, Fukuroi and Brighton). The human biology level of Korean cities was better than that of Ichikawa, Fukuroi, and Brighton city except Wonju. But the shelter & socioeconomic index level of the foreign cities was better than that of Korean cities. In the environmental & infrastructural idex, even though Changwon city showed the highest level among healthy cities in this study, other Korean cities had lower level compared to the foreign cities. In the public health policy and services index level, except Wonju, Korean cities had lower level than that of all foreign cities. In comparing a summative evaluation index of all proposed index, Ichikawa and Fukuroi had the highest level of city health but Seoul city had the lowest healthy level. Changwon and Wonju had higher level of city health compare to that of Brighton and Seoul. To promote the level of city health, those findings could contribute to healthy city planning process in terms of identifying any weakness and strength of the cities selected in this study.
