This study was conducted to investigate the differences in environmental and psychological factors in children with obesity and to offer useful information for obesity treatment and prevention. 123 children of 5-6th grade in elementary school and their mothers were included in this study and divided into either the obese group and normal group(obese group: 61, normal group: 62) according to the Weight-Length Index(WLI). Results showed that between the two groups there no significant differences in family income, mother's occupation status, educational level, and anthropometric measurement. Nutritional knowledge in the obese group was significantly higher than that of the normal group(p<0.05). The mothers of children with obesity had a higher level of nutritional knowledge than the mothers of normal children(p<0.05). There were no significant differences in food behavior between the obese and normal groups. There were no significant differences in maternal child-rearing practices and in maternal attitude on flood behavior of children. Considering psychological factors ; 72.1% of the children with obesity appraised their body image as obese(p<0.05), and 54.1% of the mothers in obese group perceived their child's body shape as obese(p<0.05). The level of self-esteem were not significantly different when compared between the obese and normal groups. From these results, it was suggested that effective measures for obesity treatment and prevention should include nutritional monitoring, and such efforts need to be maintained in order to help the obese children and their mothers.

The purpose of this study is to examine the nutrition knowledge, characteristics related to, nutrient intakes, anthropometrics, biochemical indices of university female students by major (food and nutrition versus physical science). Data were taken from 120 university female students (60 from each major) and the results follows. The mean age of the subjects was 19.6 years old. Most of subjects responded that they were healthy; subjects majoring in physical science scored higher in regular exercise (p < 0.01) and were more satisfied with their own body figures (p < 0.01), compared with the counterparts. The total nutrition knowledge score was $81.01{\pm}12.3$ for food and nutrition majors and $72.5{\pm}15.2$ points for physical science majors. (p < 0.01) The percentages of body fat were significantly higher in the food and nutrition students than the counterparts. (p < 0.001) The result of biochemical analysis showed that both groups were in normal range. But there was some statistically significant difference between groups in GTP, HDL-cholesterol and ALP levels. It suggests that regular exercise might have a positive effect on the body. This study showed that although both groups had different knowledge of nutrition, there was not much difference in the intakes of nutrients. But especially, the intakes of calcium and iron were quite low in both groups. Subjects majoring in Physical science had more lipid intake, but they had lower body fat. This suggests that regular exercise in this group might have effects on the percentages of body fat. In future study, nutrition education might be planned to increase nutrition knowledge and to connect nutrition knowledge to eating behaviors and to promote health to regular exercise. Also, the desire and the social perception for pursuing alean body figure and being underweight should be changed for optimal health.

This study examined the current status of foodservice management in elderly welfare facilities and evaluated food service workers' food safety practices and knowledge. For this, the directors of 20 elderly welfare facilities (each with fewer than 50 residents) located in Seoul were interviewed and a survey of 40 foodservice workers was conducted to determine their food safety knowledge and practices. The facilities accommodated an average of 28 residents. All the facilities were self-operated and approximately 62% were dependent on payments by residents. Only 15% had a dietitian in charge of menu planning, food purchasing, and food safety management. Approximately 50% had their facility managers take responsibilities for menu planning and food safety management. Most of the facilities provided food safety training within their own facility and sanitized their utensils, cutting boards, and dishcloths on a daily basis. A limited number of foodservice workers, insufficient training programs, and budget constraints were some of the major barriers to food safety management. Their average score on food safety practices was 1.62, and that on food safety knowledge was 17.6 out of 19 points. These results indicate that the foodservice workers had good food safety knowledge and appropriate food safety practices. There was a significant correlation only between food safety practices related to receiving and storing food products and knowledge of personal hygiene.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate food safety practices and knowledge of foodservice workers at senior welfare centers. A self-administrated questionnaire was administered to 1200 foodservice workers at senior welfare centers in Seoul, Incheon and Gyeonggi province. Two hundred five responses were returned, with 181 usable for analysis. Statistical analyses were conducted using SPSS for Windows(ver.14.0). Volunteers of respondents comprised 64.1% while chefs and employees comprised 20.9%. Food safety practices were assessed using a 5-point scale(1: strongly disagree - 5: strongly agree), and the average score of food safety practices was 4.27. For specific practices, 'personal hygiene (4.46)' scored the highest, followed by 'cleaning and sanitizing(4.43)', 'separate handing(4.40)', 'cooking process(4.11)', and 'receiving and storing(4.05)'. There were significant differences in the practice average score by age(p<0.01) and experience of food safety education(p<0.01). The total score for food safety knowledge was 14.43 out of 20 points. In the category of food knowledge, 'equipment and facility(80.5%)' had the highest correct answer rate, followed by 'personnel hygiene(75.9%)', 'cooking process(70.4%)', and 'cleaning sanitizing(65.8%)'. There were significant differences in the knowledge total score by job type(p<0.05), age(p<0.05), working experience(p<0.05), chef certification (p<0.01), and frequency of food safety education(p<0.01). The knowledge and practice scores were significantly correlated(p<0.01). This study suggests that food safety education for foodservice workers should be conducted continuously and repetitively, and the development of proper education materials is needed to improve the effectiveness of food safety education for chefs, employees and volunteers at senior welfare centers.

[Purpose] Effective nutritional intervention can help reduce the risk of nutritional problems and improve athletic performance in adolescents. The five A's (assess, advise, agree, assist, and arrange) model is widely used as the theoretical framework for advice on nutrition, smoking, drinking, and physical activity and it recommends that practitioners in primary health care promote behavior change to facilitate positive outcomes. This model has also been useful in understanding the underlying processes of behavior change. This study aimed to develop both a novel evidence-based nutritional intervention protocol, rooted in sound nutritional theory, and a customizable nutritional intervention program to support sustainable healthy eating, enhance nutrient intake, and improve athletic performance in adolescent athletes. [Methods] In this study, we adapted the 5 A's behavioral change model and motivational interview to develop a theoretical framework to help adolescent athletes change their behavior and achieve their goals. [Results] During each step of the 5 A's protocol, a customized nutritional intervention protocol was developed by nutrition experts for each of adolescent athletes. Each plan was developed to improve the eating habits of adolescent athletes through group education and counseling. All nutritional counseling sessions were designed to enable participants to apply nutritional knowledge and practical action plans to their training and competition conditions to enable each of them to achieve individual athletic goals and facilitate self-management. [Conclusion] A theoretical and evidence-based nutritional intervention protocol was developed to identify and address obstacles to healthy dietary habits in adolescent athletes. This could be used as the basis for further studies aimed at improving nutrient intake and athletic performance in adolescent athletes.

Adolescents in Busan area were asked in a survey about their perception and attitudes towards fast food. Most respondents answered that they consume fast food once a month because it is fast, easily accessible and tasty. Although they perceived fast food as unhealthy and less nutritious, they were less aware of its effect on their health and nutritional status. The more knowledgeable respondents were about nutrition and health the less likely they were to choose fast food over other meals. However, respondents who had little or no knowledge about the nutritional factors of fast food accounted for 43.1%. As to their source of dietary information, students relied on themselves(31.0%), parents(20.5%) and mends(19.9%). The medium through which students got the most nutrition and health information was television(66.8%), followed by the Internet(36.7%) and magazines(29.7%). This study will enable educators to plan more effective strategies for improving the dietary knowledge of the adolescent population.

본 연구는 2014년 9월 8일부터 10월 14일까지 국내 3개월 이상 거주한 만 19세 이상의 대학교에 재학 중인 중국 유학생 276명을 대상으로 고혈압 및 나트륨 관련 영양지식, 고염가공식품 섭취빈도, 고혈압예방 식생활 실천도, 식행동 변화단계를 조사하여 영양지식과 고혈압 예방 실천도와의 관계를 분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. 조사대상자의 고혈압 관련 영양지식 점수는 총 50점 만점 중 평균 40.62점으로 나타났다. '개인의 혈압은 언제, 어디서나 항상 일정하다.'의 정답률이 95.7%로 가장 높은 반면 '고혈압은 유전적 소인이 있는 질병이다.'가 44.6%로 가장 낮았다. 나트륨 관련 영양지식 점수는 총 30점 만점으로 평균 24.00점으로 나타났다. '음식 조리 시 소금을 전혀 넣지 않으면 나의 나트륨 섭취량은 0이다.'와 '나트륨 섭취를 많이 할수록 건강에 좋다.'는 항목의 정답률이 89.5%로 가장 높게 나타났으며. '국, 찌개 등의 국물을 적게 먹는 것은 혈압의 조절에 도움이 된다.'가 56.2%로 가장 낮은 정답률을 보였으나 나트륨 관련 영양지식의 전 항목의 정답률은 50%이상인 것으로 나타났다. 고염가공식품 섭취빈도는 김치류가 6.34점으로 가장 많이 섭취하는 것으로 나타났으며, 고혈압 예방 실천도는 5점 만점 중 총 평균은 3.10점으로 나타났다. 고혈압 예방 실천 항목에서 '담배를 피우지 않는다.'의 평균점수 (4.03점)가 가장 높게 나타났으며 '정기적으로 혈압을 측정하고 의사의 진찰을 받는다.'가 2.47점으로 가장 낮게 나타났다. 고혈압 예방 식행동 변화단계 분포는 고려단계 (47.1%), 행동단계 (32.2%), 고려전단계 (20.7%) 순으로 고려단계가 가장 많은 것으로 나타났다. 고혈압 예방 식행동 변화단계에 따른 고혈압 관련 영양지식, 나트륨 관련 영양지식과 고혈압 예방 실천도는 고려전단계에서 가장 낮고, 행동단계에서는 가장 높게 나타났다. 식행동 변화단계가 고려전단계에서 행동단계로 갈수록 영양지식과 식생활 실천도의 점수가 상승하는 경향이 있었다. 고혈압 및 나트륨 관련 영양지식과 식생활 실천도의 상관관계를 분석한 결과, 영양지식과 고혈압 예방 실천도가 유의한 정 (+)의 상관관계가 있었고, 고염가공식품 섭취빈도와 유의한 부 (-)의 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 결과를 종합하면 고혈압 및 나트륨 관련 영양지식의 점수가 높을수록 고혈압 예방 실천도의 점수가 높았고, 고염가공 식품섭취빈도가 낮았다. 영양지식 점수가 높을수록 식행동 변화의 단계 중 고려전단계나 고려단계보다는 행동단계의 점수가 유의적으로 높았다. 그러므로 중국 유학생들의 건강 식생활 실천을 위해서는 고혈압과 나트륨 관련 영양지식을 교육하고, 한국음식에 대한 이해를 높임과 동시에 건강 식생활 실천을 효과적으로 할 수 있는 교육프로그램을 개발하여 고염가공식품의 섭취빈도를 낮추고, 주기적인 식생활 평가를 통한 유학생 지원 방안을 모색해야 할 것이다.
