본 연구는 라오스 비엔티안 지역 일부 청소년을 대상으로 식품 불안정 상태를 파악하고, 이에 따른 식행동 및 가공 음료 섭취를 비교하고자 진행되었다. 미국 농무부에서 개발한 식품 안정 조사 모듈을 통해 조사한 결과, 전체 714명의 대상자 중 519명, 즉 72.7%가 식품 불안정 상태로 나타났다. 식품 안정군 (Food Security, FS)이 식품 불안정군 (Food Insecurity, FI)에 비해 '삶에 대한 만족도', '부모의 교육 수준', '가정 내 소유하고 있는 물품의 수'가 더 높았고 '형제자매 수'는 더 적었던 것을 통해 식품 불안정이 낮은 사회 경제적 상태 (socioeconomic status, SES)와 유의한 관계가 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. FI군보다 FS군의 가공 음료 섭취 및 점심 식사를 밖에서 사 먹는 비율이 유의적으로 더 높게 나타난 것 역시 FI군의 낮은 SES가 반영된 결과라고 생각할 수 있다. 본 연구에서 가장 주목할 만한 결과는 FS군이 FI군에 비해 '아침 식사 섭취 빈도' 및 '스스로 평가한 식사의 질', '간이 식생활 진단'을 통해 평가한 결과의 총점이 더 높게 나타났으나, '식품 안정'에서 높은 수준의 가공 음료 섭취 가능성 또한 1.544배 증가하였다는 것이다. 이는 낮은 식사의 질이 단지 식품 불안정에 따른 문제가 아님을 의미하므로, 라오스 청소년을 대상으로 한 체계적인 영양 교육 및 정책 마련은 추후 빠르게 진행되어야 할 것으로 사료된다.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has affected the entire world population in many ways. This study aimed to analyze the patterns of changes in eating, food purchasing and preparation, physical activity, and subjective health after COVID-19 outbreak by various sociodemographic factors and to understand the factors associated with changes in subjective health. SUBJECTS/METHODS: A cross-sectional survey using a representative sample from Seoul was used for the analysis. The data collection was conducted from September to October 2020. A total of 3,833 citizens aged more than 18 years old participated in the Seoul Food Survey. Descriptive statistics and generalized ordinal logistic regression models were used to understand the changes in health behaviors, health indicators, and subjective general health by various socioeconomic status. RESULTS: It was shown that the changes in household income, food expenditure, food consumption and physical activities differed significantly by age, education, occupation, income, weight, and food security status. Low-income and food-insecure households were affected more severely by the pandemic. Older age, household food insecurity, income reduction, increased home cooking and frequency of having instant foods, decreased physical activity and weight gain were significant factors explaining worse perceived health during the COVID-19 pandemic. CONCLUSIONS: The results suggest that focusing on older populations and low-income families with food insecurity should be prioritized during infectious disease outbreaks. In addition, the role of physical activities and instant food consumption in explaining perceived health should be investigated further in this prolonged battle with the pandemic situation.

본 연구는 서울 경기지역 만 65세 이상의 건강한 재택 노인을 대상으로 항목별 일상생활수행능력에 따른 주관적 건강상태, 즉 건강불안감의 정도를 알아보는 서술적 조사연구이다. 대상자에게 일상생활수행능력(ADLs)에 따른 1-5점까지 주관적 건강상태(건강불안감)를 설문하고, 항목별 일상생활수행능력의 정도에 따라 4개의 집단(매우 어려움, 어려움, 쉬움, 매우 쉬움)으로 나누어 Jonckheere-Terpstra검정과 선형회귀선을 활용하여 순위추세를 비교하였다. Jonckheere-Terpstra검정에서 "화장실 이용하기", "목욕하기", "물건 사러가기" 항목에 어려움을 호소할수록 주관적 건강상태의 불안감이 상응하는 순위차이를 보였고, 선형회귀선 상에서 "화장실 이용하기"의 기울기가 가장 큰 것으로 나타났다. 건강한 재택 거주 노인의 경우 "화장실 이용하기", "목욕하기", "물건 사러가기"가 어려울수록 건강불안의 증가 즉, 주관적 건강상태가 나빠지므로 이에 적절한 다각적인 사회복서비스를 개발할 필요가 있다.

Objectives : Job insecurity, such as non-standard work, is reported to have an adverse impact on health, regardless of health behaviors. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between non-standard employment and health in Korea. Methods : We analyzed a representative weighted sample, which consisted of 2,112 men and 1,237 women, aged 15-64, from the 1998 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Non-standard employment included part-time permanent, short time temporary and daily workers. Self-reported health was used as a health indicator. Results : This study indicated that women were more likely to report poorer health than men with standard jobs. Of all employees, 20.3% were female manual workers. After adjusting for potential confounders, such as age, education, equivalent income, marital, social and self-reported economic status and health behavior factors, nonstandard employment was found to be significantly associated with poor health among female manual workers (OR, 1.86; 95% CI, 1.24 to 2.79). No significant association was found in other working groups Conclusions : Among female manual workers, nonstandard employees reported significantly poorer health compared with standard workers. This result raises concern as there are increasing numbers of non-standard workers, particularly females.

This study investigated the relationships between Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs), contributing factors, and the occupational stress of physical therapists. Self-reported questionnaires were given to 180 physical therapists in Gangwon Province. Variables examined included the prevalence of pain sites related to WMSDs; pain intensity; pain pattern; and job stress, which is thought to involve the physical environment; job demand; insufficient job control; interpersonal conflict; job insecurity; organizational system; reward system; and occupational culture. Among physical therapists, work-related musculoskeletal pain commonly affected the low back (30.1%), shoulder (29.3%), and wrist (12.2%). The sites of work-related musculoskeletal pain treated medically were the low back (22.8%), shoulder (19.8%), neck (12.7%), and wrist (12.1%). "Repeating the same work constantly" was suggested to be the major cause of the pain. The younger therapists were significantly more likely to feel high job stress due to the physical environment (p<.05), job demand (p<.05), and organizational system (p<.01). Women were more likely to feel greater job stress related to job demand, insufficient job control, the organization system, and job rewards. Men were more likely to feel greater job stress related to job insecurity. Weak positive relationships were observed between work-related musculoskeletal pain and job stress, which is thought to involve the physical environment; job demand; insufficient job control; interpersonal conflict; job insecurity; organizational system; reward system; and occupational culture. Physical therapists appear to be at higher risk of WMSDs because 80.1% of the physical therapists studied experienced work-related musculoskeletal pain. To reduce the risk, we need intervention strategies such as preventive education, ergonomically designed medical equipment, a psychosocial approach to work conditions, improved mechanical conditions related to therapeutic patterns, and an institutional infrastructure with sufficient personnel and scheduling.

This research was conducted to understand and analyze the physical awareness symptoms of college students and get fundamental research data essential to provide efficient student guidance and public health service at schools. The survey was carried out for 1 month from May 7th, 2001 to June 7th, 2001. The interviewees were 950 enrolled students at junior colleges in Daegu. 26.5% of them were men and 73.5% women. Among the surveyed, public health majors were 76.9%. Daytime students were 64.1 %, and the majority of the students, 42.8%, were atheistic. 56.0% of the students grew up in big cities, 22.2% in medium and small-sized cities, and 21.8% in farming and fishing communities. 66.1 % used public transportation. The majority of the students, 48.7%, answered that the satisfaction level for their majors was average. The result shows that the ocular fatigue was indicated as a greatest complaint, and the female students showed the higher complaint rate than the males. In the study of the complaining rate of physical symptoms by major, the public health majors showed the highest complaining rate in gasping when going up/down stairs, shoulder pain, a burning feeling on empty stomach, and leg/knee pain. On the other hand, the highest complaint factors for the technical majors were ocular fatigue and the feelings of heavy head. In the study of the complaining rate of physical symptoms by transportation, gasping during going up/down stairs and shoulder pain were most common, which were 52.2% and 36.0% respectively. In the study of the insecurity response distribution by transportation, college students who drive a car showed 3.8% and students using public transportation 3.7%. In the study of the insecurity response by subject satisfaction, students who answered dissatisfactory were 8.3%, average 3.9%, satisfied 3.0%. Therefore, it was concluded that students who were dissatisfied with their subjects showed the higher rate of insecurity response. it can be recommended that a school health education program regarding ocular fatigue and shoulder pain should be developed.
