Due to the common dietary practice of preparing foods in various ways using the same food item, in addition to rather a large number of food items that average Koreans consume, it is difficult to accurately assess the nutritional adequacy. In an effort to identify a reliable means of assessing the nutritional adequacy of Korean adults, we analyzed the association between the scores of dietary diversity (DDS) and dietary variety (DVS), and the quality of nutrient intake as assessed by Nutrient Adequacy Ratio (NAR) and Mean Adequacy Ratio (MAR). A three day-dietary record was obtained from each of 324 inhabitants, aged 40 to 69 years (mean :t SD,52.4 $\pm$ 8.7), of a rural area (Ansung) and a mid-sized city (Ansan) of Korea. These individuals were randomly selected among the participants of the Korean Health and Genome Study. The number of consumed foods and food groups were assesses by DDS (scored 1 to 5) and DVS (ranked 30 $\leq$,31 - 40, 41 - 50, 51 - 60, and 60 <) over three-day period, respectively. As DDS/DVS increased, mean daily food intakes tended to increase, and NARIMAR was improved. Thus, DDS and DVS were significantly correlated with the quality of nutrient intake. Over 95% of the subjects scored less than 2 in DDS for the first one-day period, whilst over 62% recorded 4 during the full three-day period (p < .0001). The mean number of consumed food items increased from 24.9 to 44.4 as a function of days of the record period (p < .0001). We also analyzed the association of DDS and DVS with MAR, using regression analysis, controlling age and sex as covariates. For DDS, the adjusted coefficient determination (adj $R^2$) values were 8.7%,15.8%,23.3% of MAR, also increasing as a function of the record duration, whereas they were 27.3%, 33.3%, 37.6% for DVS, respectively, demonstrating that NAR/MAR has a better correlation with DVS than DDS. Our data show that DDS, and DVS in particular, are useful parameters for evaluating nutrient intake in the Korean population. Our data also support that one day-dietary records are by no means adequate for accurately describing a wide variety of food choices offered for average Koreans, and that dietary assessment at least for 3 days or longer should be obtained for a reliable evaluation of dietary quality using DDS or DVS.

대륙주변해인 동해의 일차생산력은 조사하기 쉬운 듯하지만 해황의 역동적 변동성 때문에 현장 관측으로 파악하기 매우 어렵다. 이 연구에서는 난수역의 평균적인(총)일차생산 배경값을 생지화학적 가설에 기반하여 추정하였다. 계산에 사용된 비혼합-부상 가설은 일단 일차생산이 오로지 대한해협을 통해 수송된 영양염에 의해서만 일어난다고 가정했을 경우로서, 결과($209\;gC\;m^{-2}\;y^{-1}$)는 발표된 위성기반 순일차생산력과 대등한 것으로 나타났다. 그런데 일차생산이 100% 신생산에 의존한다고 가정했었기 때문에 이 구속을 풀어 신생산지표를 0.6이라 가정하면 일차생산력은 40% 가량 높아진다. 결과는 오로지 대한해협을 통해 유입되는 영양염만으로도 기존에 알려진 일차생산을 지지하고도 남음을 말해준다. 그런데 배경값을 구하기 위해 배제시켰던 여러 가지 변동 요인들, 예컨대 용승, 지하수 유입, 대기 유입, 해양 투기, 태풍 등 배경에 더 해지는 교란은 모두 일차생산을 추가로 부양하는 요인이고, 여기에 아직 정량화 되지 못한 초미소남세균의 광합성에 대한 기여까지 고려하게 되면 실제 일차생산력은 배경값의 두 배 이상도 가능할 것으로 추정된다. 이 경우에 일차생산력은 신생산지표가 0.6으로 알려진 페루 용승역과 비등한 규모가 된다.

Objectives: The study aim was to identify changes in the nutritional status of older adults during the COVID-19 pandemic according to household income and demographic characteristics. Methods: Study participants were 2,408 adults aged 65 and over who participated in the 2019-2020 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES). To examine changes in nutrient intake levels resulting from COVID-19, data of 2019 and of 2020 were compared. Study participants were divided into three groups based on household income level to compare these changes. The changes were compared according to household income level, age group, and household type. Results: Percentages of recommended intakes for energy, protein, and most micronutrients were the lowest for the low-income group of both males and females in 2020. The Mean Adequacy Ratio (MAR) score was the lowest for the low-income group in both years. When comparing nutrient density for 2019 and 2020 by income group, the male low-income group experienced a decrease in nutrient densities of vitamin A, thiamine, calcium, and iron. For the same group, a decreased percentage for energy intake from protein was noted. Fruit intake was lowest in the low-income group for both males and females. Low-income males had the lowest intake levels for meat, fish, eggs, and legumes in both 2019 and 2020 and the lowest milk and milk product intake levels in 2020. Older adults living alone or single older adults with children had lower MAR scores than those living with a spouse. Older adults living alone experienced decreases in energy and thiamine and iron intake levels in 2020 compared to their intake levels in 2019. Conclusions: Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, nutrition intake levels worsened for older adult males in the low-income group and older adults living alone. This finding shows the need for a more systematic nutritional support strategy for the vulnerable older adults population in national disaster situations.

본 연구는 국민건강영양조사 제 6기 (2013 ~ 2015년) 자료를 이용하여 우리나라 65세 이상 노인의 주관적 불안 우울 상태에 따른 식품 및 영양소 섭취 실태를 분석한 것으로 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 남자 노인의 불안 우울군이 비불안 우울군에 비하여 저체중군 비율이 높고 과체중군의 비율이 낮았다. 불안 우울군의 교육 수준과 경제 수준이 더 낮았으며 독거가구의 비율은 더 높아서 혼자 사는 노인이 더 많은 것으로 나타났다. 남녀 노인 모두 불안 우울군의 주관적 건강상태가 더 나쁜 것으로 나타나 스스로 건강하지 않다고 생각하는 비율이 높았다. 남자 노인의 불안 우울군이 점심식사와 저녁 식사 시 혼자 식사하는 비율이 높았고 여자 노인의 경우, 불안 우울군의 저녁식사 빈도가 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 남자 노인의 불안 우울군에서 총 식품섭취량, 버섯류, 어패류, 해조류, 유지류, 조미료류의 섭취가 비불안 우울군에 비하여 낮았다. 반면 여자 노인의 경우 총 식품섭취량과 그 외의 모든 식품군 섭취량에서 주관적 불안 우울에 따른 유의적 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 남자 노인의 불안 우울군의 경우 식이섬유, 비타민 C, 리보플라빈, 니아신, 칼륨, 철의 섭취량이 유의적으로 낮게 나타나, 여자 노인에 비하여 남자 노인이 주관적 불안 우울에 따른 영양소 섭취 상태가 불량한 것을 알 수 있었다. 남녀 노인 모두 탄수화물, 단백질, 지방의 열량 기여율은 불안 우울에 따른 유의적 차이는 없었으나, 한국인 영양섭취기준의 에너지 적정비율 (AMDR)인 탄수화물 (55 ~ 65%), 단백질 (7 ~ 20%), 지방 (15 ~ 30%)의 범위와 비교했을 때 두 군 모두 기준보다 탄수화물은 많이 섭취하고, 지방은 부족하게 섭취하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 남자 노인의 경우는 불안 우울군의 비타민 C와 니아신의 적정섭취비가 유의적으로 낮았다. 전반적인 영양소 섭취 상태를 평가한 평균영양소 적정섭취비도 비불안 우울군에 비해 불안 우울군이 유의적으로 낮았다. 여자 노인의 경우 불안 우울군의 단백질 적정섭취비가 유의적으로 낮았으며 그 외 다른 영양소의 적정섭취비는 유의적 차이를 보이지 않았다. 본 연구 결과를 종합해보면 남자 노인은 여자 노인에 비해 불안 우울에 따른 영양소 섭취상태가 더욱 불량한 것으로 나타나서 남자노인을 위한 심리적 지원 프로그램과 함께 적절한 식사 섭취를 위한 프로그램이 필요하다고 생각된다.

본 연구는 24시간회상법과 식품섭취빈도조사지를 이용하여 농촌지역 노인들의 영양소섭취량을 비교분석하였으며, 두 식이섭취조사방법 간의 상관성 및 타당성을 평가하였다. 조사대상자는 농촌지역 60세 이상 노인 168명(남자 89명, 여자 79명)이었으며 그 연구결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 조사대상자의 평균연령은 67세(남 69, 여 56)였으며, 평균 신장은 158 cm, 평균체중은 58.4 kg으로서, 본 연구의 농촌지역 남녀 노인의 평균 신장 및 체중은 한국인 $65{\sim}74$세의 평균체중 및 신장보다 낮았다. 24시간회상법과 식품섭취빈도조사법의 상관성 비교(Pearson's correlation)에서 남자노인의 식이섬유소 섭취량만이 p<0.01 수준에서 유의성을 나타내었으며, 나머지 영양소에서는 모두 낮은 상관계수를 나타내었다. 상관관계에서 비록 통계적 유의성을 보여주지는 못했지만 열량 및 대부분의 열량영양소들의 섭취량은 24시간회상법 및 식품섭취빈도조사법 모두에서 비슷한 수준으로 나타났다. 무기질(Ca, Na, K, P, Fe, Zn, Cu, Mn, Se) 및 비타민(비타민 A, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin 및 비타민 C) 섭취량에 대한 24시간회상법과 식품섭취빈도조사법의 상관성은 비록 유의적 상관성은 나타나지 않았으며, 대부분의 무기질 및 비타민 섭취랑은 24시간회상법 및 식품섭취빈도조사법 모두에서 비슷한 수준으로 나타났다. 따라서 두 식이섭취조사방법에 의한 특정 농촌지역 노인들의 무기질 및 비타민섭취량 측정은 타당성이 있는 것으로 간주된다. 24시간회상법과 식품섭취빈도조사법에 의한 각 영양소의 영양권장량(RDA) 및 영양기준치(NRV)에 대한 비교에서, 각 영양소의 섭취량은 두 식이조사방법 간에 큰 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 그러나 열량, 단백질, 지방 등의 대량영양소 및 대부분의 무기질, 비타민 모두에서 식품섭취빈도조사법에 의한 영양소 섭취율이 24시간회상법에 의한 섭취율보다 높게 나타났는데, 이는 식품섭취빈도조사법이 조사방법의 특성상 24시간 회상법에 의한 섭취율보다 높게 나올 수 있음을 입증하였다. 본 연구의 조사대상자인 농촌지역 노인인구 집단의 영양소섭취량 조사를 위해서는 24시간회상법 및 식이섭취조사법 모두를 사용함이 타당하다고 생각된다. 특히, 본 연구조사에서 여자노인의 경우는 남자노인에 비해 모든 영양소에서 식품섭취빈도조사법의 경우가 영양소섭취량이 더 높게 나타났으며, 이러한 현상은 동물성 영양소의 경우가 더 두드러졌다. 이는 농촌지역 여자노인들의 식물성 위주의 식품섭취가 예상되며 따라서 농촌여자노인의 영양상태가 남자노인들에 비해 상대적으로 더 불량할 것으로 예측된다. 24시간회상법과 식품섭취빈도조사법을 이용하여 농촌지역 노인들의 영양소섭취량을 측정하여 비교한 본 연구결과를 종합해보면, 비록 두 식이섭취조사방법 간에 높은 상관성은 보여주지 못하였지만, 영양소섭취량은 두 방법 간에 비슷한 수준을 보여주어, 본 연구대상 특정 농촌지역 노인들의 영양소섭취량 조사에 24시간회상법 및 식품섭취빈도조사법 모두가 사용될 수 있음을 예견하였다. 노인인구 대상으로 보다 정확한 영양소 섭취량 측정을 할 수 있는 식품섭취빈도조사지 개발이 시급한 요구로 제시된다.

This study was intended to evaluate the overall effects of nutritional education on adults having two or more symptoms of chronic degenerative disease. A nine week nutritional education program was provided for 65 adults with chronic diseases. We assessed the changes in dietary knowledge, eating behavior and socio-psychological factors. When we evaluated the nutrient intakes of the subjects, their energy intake was 79.4% of the Korean Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA). Their dietary intake of other nutrients was also below the RDA level except for Vitamin C. Their knowledge of dietary therapy was slightly improved after the implementing of nutritional education. The dietary behavior of ‘night snacks before sleep’was significantly improved. While the overall fear due to disease was significantly increased, self-efficacy was not improved. Self-efficacy for eating “three regular meals” and “choosing fruit, vegetable and grain” were significantly decreased. Family support for “buying food which is good for my health” was also significantly increased, whereas “advises me to eat appropriate foods for health” was decreased. Biochemical analysis indicated that blood levels of triglyceride, cholesterol and blood pressure improved after nutrition education. Therefore, we concluded that nutritional education program for people with chronic degenerative diseases could change the diet therapy knowledge, dietary behavior, and the fear due to disease, support from family and behavior intention toward the direction to improve the chronic disease condition. However, it did not improve self-efficacy. Our study also indicated that nutritional education strategies to improve self-efficacy should be an important aspect in a long term education plan for patients to establish desirable eating habits.

Purpose: For neonates admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), appropriate nutritional assessment and intervention are important for adequate growth. In this study, we aimed to determine whether there were changes in the nutritional supply and growth status of premature infants hospitalized in the NICU after the introduction of the Nutrition support team (NST). Methods: This study retrospectively analyzed premature infants admitted to the NICU for over 14 days. The average daily calorie, protein, and fat supply at 1 and 2 weeks after birth were compared before and after NST, and growth was evaluated by changes in length, weight, and head circumference z-scores at birth and 28 days after birth. Results: A total of 79 neonates were included in the present study, with 32 in the pre-NST group and 47 in the post-NST group. The average daily energy supply during the first (p=0.001) and second (p=0.029) weeks postnatal was significantly higher in the post-NST group than in the pre-NST group. Lipid supply for the first week was significantly higher in the post-NST group than in the pre-NST group (p=0.010). The change in the z-score for length was significantly higher in the post-NST group than in the pre-NST group (p=0.049). Conclusion: Nutrient supply and length z-score change increased significantly at 28 days after birth in the post-NST group. These results suggest that calorie calculators and NST activity can promote adequate growth and development in neonates.

The relatively new concept of functional foods is supportive of sales of food products that deliver isolated 'nutrient' or 'food compound' substances, much as is done by dietary supplements. Whether such isolated substances have benefit must be investigated in each instance; such investigations can be complex. At the same time, simply prepared natural plant foods contain a myriad of substances that, in accord with the concept of food synergy, are beneficial for health. Whole grain foods are an example of such healthy fare, based on strong epidemiologic and experimental evidence. If the concept of functional foods is to be of use for the public health, it should support the consumption of healthy traditional foods as well as promoting 'novel' foods; in this sense, whole grain foods, which have great functionality, should be regarded as functional foods.

Autophagy is critical for the maintenance of organelle function and intracellular nutrient environment. Autophagy is also involved in systemic metabolic homeostasis, and its dysregulation can lead to or accelerate the development of metabolic disorders. While the role of autophagy in the global metabolism of model organisms has been investigated mostly using site-specific genetic knockout technology, the impact of dysregulated autophagy on systemic metabolism has been unclear. Here, we review recent papers showing the role of autophagy in systemic metabolism and in the development of metabolic disorders. Also included are data suggesting the role of autophagy in human-type diabetes, which are different in several key aspects from murine models of diabetes. The results shown here support the view that autophagy modulation could be a new modality for the treatment of metabolic syndrome associated with lipid overload and human-type diabetes.

Although flounder is one of the most important marine fish for aquaculture in Korea, feeding the flounder in commercial farms depends mainly on moist pellet in which over 70% frozen fishes (e.g. frozen horse mackerel) are incorporated in its formulation. Therefore, for further expansion of flounder farming, it is essential to employ practical formulated feeds that can support reasonable growth. Development of nutritionally balanced and cost-effective feeds is dependant on the information about nutritional requirement and feed utilization of the species. Nutrient and energy source in feed are needed for the growth and maintenance of fish. Protein is probably the most important nutrient affecting fish growth and feed cost. Therefore, it is essential to determine the optimum dietary protein level for the growth of fish, both its high proportion in the feed and because it is the main factor in determining feed cost. Dietary energy level is also critical because protein source in the feed is utilized as an energy source when the feed deficient in energy is fed to fish, whereas when the feed excess in energy is fed to fish, feed consumption decreased and resulted in growth reduction due to lack of other necessary nutrients for normal growth. Improper dietary protein, energy levels and/or their ratio will lead to an increase of fish production cost and deterioration of water quality resulting from wasted feed; thus, they are important in formulating commercial feed. Dietary lipids play important roles in providing energy and essential fatty acid for normal growth and survival of fish. Although carbohydrates are not essential nutrients for carnivorous fish, these compounds play important roles as a low-cost energy source for protein sparing and also as a feed binder. Nutrition researches for flounder have identified its requirements of protein, lipid and essential fatty acid, vitamin, and minerals for normal growth. Other studies have also been carried out to investigate the utilization of the protein, lipid and carbohydrate sources. Based on these nutritional information obtained, practical feed formulations have been studied for improve aquaculture production of flounder. The results of the researches on utilization of dietary protein, lipid and carbohydrate by flounder are discussed in this review.
