The experiment was carried out to examine on effect of ultrasonication on the growith of a mungbean while a mungbean is germinated and to measure amino acid content of a mungbean during its germination. Mungbean seeds soaked are divided into three groups; the first group was control group, untreated and naturally germinated. the second was ultrasonic treated group(UTG I), irradiated by ultrasonication for 8, 16 and 24min respectively immediately after soaking. the third was ultrasonic treated group(UTG II), irradiated by ultrasonication after 48hr germinating. The results were as foolows; Fresh weight, moisture, length of mungbean increased as its germination proceeds. while dry weight decreased. Ultrasonication tends to inhibit its germination of mungbean and results in the decrease in weight, length and moisture. Specially ultrasonication had a marked effect on UTG II. The longer the time of ultrasonication was, the more was the growth inhibited. In the control groups, the content of amino acid increased until 72 hours, but after that, it decreased. of the amino acid determined, glutamic acid decreased marekedly in the cotyledons, While the opposite was the case with aspartic acid in the hypocotyls. Comparing with the control groups, UTG I, the content of amino acid decreased. As the ultrasonic treaed time was increased, the concentration of amino acid in hypocotyl cotyledon tended to decreased. UTG II, the content of amino acid was lower than control groups, but higher than UTG I, and the effects of ultrasonication were similar to UTG I.

The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of the health-related quality of life(EQ-5D) on oral health problems in an effort to provide some information on health promotion programs geared toward the elderly and on the right direction of related policy setting. Raw data from the 7^th National Nutrition Survey were used, and systematic sampling was conducted on elderly subjects over 65 years. EQ-5D and chewing problems increased in the group without exercise ability, in the group with pain discomfort, and in the group with anxiety depression (p<0.05). EQ-5D and speaking problems increased in terms of odds ratio(OR) in the group without exercise ability, in the group with pain discomfort, and more in terms of articulating difficulties in the anxiety depression group (p<0.05). The results of this study show a direct correlation between health-related quality of life (EQ-5D) and the oral health of the elderly. As it's mandatory to promote the oral health of elderly people to improve their EQ-5D To promote rural societies should provide oral health education and institutions for continuous oral health care.

The purpose of this study was to establish the critical limit of CCP (Critical Control Point) of a HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point) system used in the production of seasoned laver products. The hazard analysis examined microbial evaluations and developed a HACCP management plan for the heating process. The results were determined to be capable of reducing the biological element of CCP via the secondary roasting process. This study examined general bacteria and pathogenic microorganisms such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella spp., Listeria monocytogenes, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, and Bacillus cereus at temperatures ranging from $170^{\circ}C$ to $230^{\circ}C$ and for 3.0 to 5.5 seconds at a time. Before the secondary roasting process, pathogenic microorganisms were all negative, although the presence of general bacteria was still detected. General bacteria was reduced to $1.0{\times}10CFU/g$ after the temperature was set at $230^{\circ}C$ for a period of 5.5 seconds. In conclusion, it suggested that a HACCP plan was necessary for management standard and systematic approach in the establishment of critical limit, problem resolution, verification method, education, and records management through a secondary roasting process.

To examine the relationship between the causal infection of gastric cancer and lifestyle and nutritional status, we surveyed 183 persons, 102 female and 81 male, aged 40 years and over from August to October, 1996, in Chunchon area, Kang Won Do, Korea. For this purpose, we investigated Helicobacter pylori infection in the agricultural Korean adult and identified the effect of sex, age, smoking, alcohol consumption, economic status, occupation and lifestyle. Helicobacter pylori immunoglobulin G(IgG). Helicobacter pylori infection was present in 64.5% of total subjects, and 63.7% of female, 65.4% of male and its prevalence was increased with age, smoking, low education level, low monthly income, high childbirth. Some nutrients intakes were significantly difference between Helicobacter pylori infection positive(+) group and those negative(-) group. The negative Helicobacter pylori infection group were much more intaked energy, total protein, total fat(p<0.05), animal fat(p<0.05), Iron(p<0.001), vitamin A(p<0.01), vitamin C(p<0.05) than Helicobacter pylori positive infection group. But the calcium intakes were lower than positive(+) group.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the food-related lifestyle choices of female baby boomers and to investigate variables regarding home meal replacement (HMR) buying behaviors and future needs. This study was conducted on 358 female baby boomers 53 years of age living in Gyeonggi and near Seoul. Out of 420 distributed questionnaires, 358 were returned and used for analysis (response rate: 85.2%). As a result of cluster analysis, three groups were identified based on the food-related lifestyles : a value-seeking group, a convenience-seeking group, and a health-seeking group. Among the three groups, there were significant differences in two socio-demographic characteristics, education level (p<0.05) and regular exercise (p<0.01), and in several health- and food-related habits, type of breakfast (p<0.01), type of dinner (p<0.05), dinner details (p<0.05), frequency of eating out (p<0.05), and eating habits score (p<0.01). The health-seeking group was significantly more likely to purchase ready to cook (RTC) items (59.1%) than were the other groups (p<0.001). However, the ratio of HMR purchasing for the purpose of meal replacement (p<0.05) and an HMR purchasing frequency of more than twice a week (p<0.001) were significantly lower in the health-seeking group. Reasons for selecting HMR showed a similar tendency among groups in taste (26.2%), convenience (18.7%), price (16.9%), safety (15.3%) and type of food (14.3%). However, the satisfaction scores for hygiene and safety reported by the health-seeking group were significantly lower than those reported by the other groups. More than two-thirds of all respondents were willing to purchase HMR in the future, though there were significant differences according to group: convenience-seeking group, 73.1%, health-seeking group, 70.1%, and value-seeking group, 65.7% (p<0.05). Our results suggest that the number of baby boomers purchasing HMR products will continue to grow and baby boomers will want HMR products to be more healthy (52.0%), safe (28.5%) and delicious (13.4%). An emphasis on taste was high in the convenience-seeking group, whereas an emphasis on health was high in the health-seeking and value-seeking groups. In conclusion, this study shows various food-related lifestyles amongst female baby boomers and illustrates the need to develop HMR marketing strategies targeted to these different lifestyles.

The purpose of this study is to develop the nutritional survey indices such as the Knowledge(K), Knowledge Practice(KP), Attitude(A), and Food Practice(FP) as effective materials of the nutrition education and evaluation in spreading community nutrition service. These materials were applied to two groups(126 rural people and 117 urban people) from August 1st to September 10th, 1996. We investigated actual conditions of objects about K, KP, A, FP by interviews. Also we measured serum cholesterol levels of all objects by Accutelend G.C. The results of the research turned out as follows; 1). In the comparison of the nutritional Knowledge scores, the average score of urban people was much higher($84.2{\pm}2.4$) than rural people($42.1{\pm}3.1$). 2). In the scores of the Knowledge Practice, urban people had also significantly higher score than rural people. But only 19.5% of urban people had high scores between 80 and 100, and 42.4% of urban people and 87.3% of rural people had scores between 0 and 40. 3). The average scores of the Attitude were not significantly different between urban and rural people. The average scores of the Food Practice were not significantly different between urban and rural people. 4). In cholesterol measurements, only three of 243 people were in the abnormal high levels(more than 250mg/dl), and they are all over 60 years old, and two of them were rural people. 5). The people who were younger in age, higher in educational level and spent more money for foods had higher scores on K, KP, A and FP. And the people who were younger in age in age and more money spent for foods had higher scores on FP. Regression analysis showed that the serum cholesterol levels were not associated with the scores of FP.

The disease patterns among the Korean was shifted from acute and infectious diseases to chronic diseases. According to the these disease patterns trends, people have concerned about the health promotion and health behaviors. Pender's(1996) revised health promotion model(HPM) is consist of three categories; Individual characteristics and experiences, Behavior-specific cognitions and affect, behavioral outcome. Of these categories, individual characteristics and experiences, this category of variables is considered to be of biological, psychological and socio-cultural personal factors, especially, individual fatigue. Futhermore. these variables constitute a critical core for nursing intervention, as they are subject to modification through nursing actions. But there is no few the research of the relationship between the fatigue and health promotion. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate the correlation between the fatigue and health promoting life style among a rural college students. Additionally, this descriptive correlational study identified the relation of demographic factors and fatigue, health promoting life style. From June 20 to 26, 1998, a convenience sample of 270 college students completed the questionnaire of the fatigue and health promoting life style profile which were developed by the Yoshitake(1978) and Walker, et al.(1987), respectively. The descriptive correlational statistics, mean, t-test, ANONA, Pearson correlation coefficient were used to analyze the data gathered with SAS pc+ program. The results were as it follows: 1. The average fatigue score of the subjects was $64.93{\pm}12.89$. Fatigue scores by subcategory were physical symptoms($23.5{\pm}4.87$). psychological symptoms($22.11{\pm}4.66$) and neuro-sensory symptoms($19.32{\pm}5.14$). With the respect to the demographic characteristics of the subjects, there were statistically significant differences between the demographic factors and fatigue, especially, sex(t==3.69 p<0.01), major(t=-2.89 p<0.01). the experience of family illness(t=2.76 p<0.01). 2. The average health promoting life style item score of the subjects was $2.33{\pm}0.33$. In the subcategories, the highest degree of performance was self-actualization(2.94), following interpersonal support(2.81). stress management(2.33), exercise(2.20), nutrition(2.10), and the lowest degree was health responsibility(1.73). There were the significant differences on the learning of health education(t=2.00 p<0.01). religion(F=3.01, p<0.05), circle activity(t=2.07, p<0.05), nutrition control(t=5.25, p<0.01) of demographical factors with the health promoting life style. 3. The correlation between the fatigue and health promoting life style made statistically no significance(r=-0.09731, p>0.05). But there was negative significant relationship between health promoting life style and psychological symptom as a fatigue subcategory(r=-0.15721, p<0.05). The self-actualization showed negative significant correlation with all fatigue subcategory. The health responsibility showed significant relationship with total fatigue(r=0.13050. p<0.05). For further research, it suggests to replicate the correlational and causal study between the fatigue and the health promoting life style using the another fatigue scale which is able to measure the subjective and objective fatigue degree. And it needs to develop the nursing intervention program for maintaining and promoting the health behavior as well as for decreasing the college students's fatigue.

The purpose of this study was to compare the risk factors of dyslipidemia by age group in 19 years and over in Korea. The participants of this study were 12,506 adults aged 19 and over who attended the 6th (2013~2015) National Health and Nutrition Survey. As a result of male risk factors, the 19-59 years old group were marital status, obesity, abdominal obesity, smoking, physical activity, hypertension, diabetes and subjective health status. Obesity, abdominal obesity, drinking, hypertension and diabetes were group over 60 years old. As a result of female risk factors, the 19~59 years old group were education, marital status, obesity, abdominal obesity, smoking, physical activity, hypertension, diabetes and perceived health status. Abdominal obesity, hypertension and diabetes were group over 60 years old. Based on these results, a strategy for health promotion according to gender and age should be prepared in order to prevent dyslipidemia.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of socioeconomic factors and health behaviors on the prevalence of oral diseases(dental caries and periodontal disease) among Korean adults. Data from the 2005 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey was analyzed for adults aged over 19 years (n=25,215). Oral disease was defined as disease diagnosed by a dentist for the previous 12 months. Chi-square test and logistic regression analysis were used to conduct statistical analysis. The population without dental caries and periodontal diseases were used as the reference category for all analysis. The overall prevalence of annual dentist-diagnosed dental caries and periodontal diseases were 23.5% and 10.6% respectively. The relative risk of developing dental caries for graduates of middle school and lower were 1.53 times (95% CI: 1.24-1.89) more likely to develop dental caries comparing to college graduates. Low income earners were 1.23 times(95% CI: 1.01-1.49) more likely to develop dental caries than high income earners. Persons covered by national medical insurance were 1.45 times(95% CI: 1.08-1.95) more likely to develop dental caries comparing to persons covered by employee medical insurance. Compared with persons not eating snacks, the risk of developing caries in persons eating snacks once a day was 1.16(95% CI: 1.01-1.32), while those who snacked twice or more a day were 1.19(95% CI: 1.01-1.41). The relative risk of developing periodontal disease was 3.71(95% CI: 2.38-5.80) higher in older individuals than younger. In terms of education level, middle school graduates and lower were 1.54 times more likely to develop periodontal disease than college graduates. Low income earners were 1.47 times more likely to develop periodontal diseases than high income earners. Using data from a large, nationally representative sample of Korean populations, we support the hypothesis that the prevalence of oral diseases is related with socioeconomic factors and health behaviors. More intensive intervention efforts to reduce the prevalence of dental diseases are warranted in Korea.

The purpose of this study is to investigate snacking behavior of high school students. The subjects were 1,587 students (684 male, 903 female) in Seoul and Paju. The highest number of eating snacks was 'once(39.9%)' per day, and they preferred 'milk and cookies' and 'fruit.' For the result of reasons for choosing a snack, they chose 'what I want to have (59.6%)' most and 'snacks don't affect eating meals (48.0%).' Also, compared with the ones with 'an elementary school diploma,' the percentage of those with 'a middle school diploma' was higher in 'having snacks once or three times' according to father's education level(p<0.05). In snack types and general characteristics, they chose 'milk and cookies' when their expenses range 'under 50000 won' and '100,000 won' and 'fruit' when '70,000won' and 'over 100,000 won (p<0.05).' In the reasons for choosing a snack, younger mothers(30-50ages) said 'what I want to have' while elder mothers($$\geq_-51ages$$) 'depending on my mood.' Also, the respondents whose mothers had 'a high school diploma' answered 'what I want to have' the most (p<0.05). Especially, in case of effects after eating snack, they answered 'poor meals (35.5%)' whose mother's job was professional. These results suggest that the general characteristics of family environment may affect snacking behavior among high school students. They need a guideline to help select healthy snacks for desirable eating behavior.
