A noncommunicable disease (NCD) is a medical condition or disease that is by definition non-infectious and non-transmissible among people. Currently, NCDs are the leading causes of death and disease burden worldwide. The four main types of NCDs, including cardiovascular disease, cancer, chronic lung disease, and diabetes, result in more than 30 million deaths annually. To reduce the burden of NCDs on global health, current public health actions stress the importance of preventing, detecting, and correcting modifiable risk factors; controlling major modifiable risk factors has been shown to effectively reduce NCD mortality. The World Health Organization's World Health Report 2002 identified tobacco use, alcohol consumption, overweight, physical inactivity, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol as the most important risk factors for NCDs. Accordingly, the present report set out to review the prevalence and trends of these modifiable risk factors in the Korean population. Over the past few decades, we observed significant risk factor modifications of improved blood pressure control and decreased smoking rate. However, hypertension and cigarette smoking remained the most contributable factors of NCDs in the Korean population. Moreover, other major modifiable risk factors show no improvement or even worsened. The current status and trends in major modifiable risk factors reinforce the importance of prevention, detection, and treatment of risk factors in reducing the burden of NCDs on individuals and society.

Recently, the prevalence rate of diabetes in Korea has been increasing rapidly due to high growth of economy and changes in dietary lifestyle. Vascular complication is one of diabetic complications which have frequently occurred by obesity, hyperglycemia and impaired glucose metabolism. Photoplethysmogram(PPG) measured from finger and toe is very useful for evaluation of vascular aging and sclerosis level since the PPG signal represents characteristics of peripheral vascular. Several researchers have reported that second derivative of the finger PPG waveform was useful to evaluate vascular compliance and developed various analysis methods for vascular compliance. However, peripheral vascular compliance study for diabetic patient was never evaluated by using second derivative of PPG. Therefore, we aimed to objectively compare and to assess normal and diabetic group vascular compliance using the second derivative of PPG waveform in this study. The evaluated factors of second derivative of PPG are 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e' and b/a represents vascular compliance. Study found out that when vascular compliance is decreased, b/a is increased, the absolute value of b/a is decreased. The average vascular compliance of 50 diabetic patients with neuropathy is statistically lower than the normal group(p<0.05). We suggest an objective evaluation of peripheral vascular compliance for diabetic patients and prevention of vascular complication.

This study was performed to investigate the average fasting blood sugar levels from various Homeless and the old at nursing homes. Subjects (297 Homeless and 190 aged people) were examined in April, 2011 to June, 2010 in Daegu city area and only fasting blood sugar was measured. Subjects consist of 274 (56.30%) men and 213 (43.70%) women but primarily comprise over 60s. Blood was collected by vein-puncture, centrifuged and analyzed by TBA-C8000. The number of each subject for blood sugar levels of men groups were shown 197 (40.50%) with under 110, 24 (4.90%) with 110~125, and 53 (10.90%) with over 126. On the other hand, 127 (26.10%) with under 110, 33 (6.80%) with 110~125 and 53 (10.90%) with over 126 from women groups. This means that the average prevalence rate of diabetes is approximately 10% at each sex. Depending on age, the fasting blood sugar level over 126 increased with advancing age but the significance of results was not shown. Two groups, Homeless and aged people at nursing homes, the fasting blood sugar level was alittle high (2.9%) from Homeless but not significant. Regular blood sugar test and HbA1c test for people could be play an important role to prevent diabetic disorders under the government's interest.

연구배경: 당뇨병 환자의 폐결핵은 비당뇨병 환자에 비해 중증의 비율이 높다는 보고가 있었으나 입원한 당뇨병환자와 결핵실태조사에 의한 일반인을 비교하였으므로 입원한 당뇨병환자가 상대적으로 더 심한 폐결핵을 가지고 있을 수 있다. 이에 저자들은 입원한 환자를 대상으로 당뇨병군과 비당뇨병군 환자사이에 폐결핵 임상양상의 차이를 비교하고, 폐결핵 진단시 당뇨병의 정도와 폐결핵의 중증도와의 관계를 조사하고 혈당의 조절정도가 폐결핵의 치료결과에 어떠한 영향을 주는가를 알아보고자 본 연구를 시행하였다. 방 법: 1995년 1월 1일부터 1996년 12월 31일까지 경희의료원에 입원한 폐결핵환자중 당뇨병에 동반된 폐결핵 환자 82명과 비당뇨병성 폐결핵환자 83명을 대상으로 폐결핵 임상양상, 진단 방법, 방사선 소견, 치료반응의 차이를 비교하고, 당뇨병환자의 폐결핵에 있어서는 폐결핵 진단시 Hb Alc와 폐결핵의 중증도와의 관계, 폐결핵 치료종결시 혈당조절정도와 폐결핵 치료 결과를 조사하였다. 결 과: 당뇨병군과 비당뇨병군에서 폐결핵 환자의 성비는 각각 58 : 24, 62: 21로써 두군 모두 남자가 많았다. 평균연령은 당뇨병군이 55세, 비당뇨병군이 44세로 연령 분포를 보면 당뇨병군은 50-60 대에 많고 비당뇨병군은 20-30 대에 많았다. 폐결핵 발병빈도는 당뇨병의 이환기간이 5-10년일 때 가장 높았다. 흉부 방사선 소견상 병변의 범위는 당뇨병군과 비당뇨병군에서 의미 있는 차이는 없었고, 두군 모두에서 중등증인 경우가 각각 60.9, 50.6%로 가장 많았다. 폐하야 결핵은 당뇨병군(19.5%)에서 비당뇨병군(4.8%)에 비해 높았다(p<0.05). 이환된 폐엽의 수는 당뇨병군(2.35엽)과 비당뇨병군(2.21엽) 모두 다수 엽의 침범소견을 보였다. 두군의 평균 치료기간은 당뇨병군에서 10개월, 비당뇨병군에서 8개월이었으며 치료반응에 있어서 완치는 당뇨병군 85.4%, 비당뇨병군 89.2%, 치료실폐가 각각 8.6, 3.6%, 재발은 각각 3.6, 1.2%, 폐결핵으로 사망한 경우는 각각 1명씩으로 두 군간의 통계학적으로 의미 있는 차이는 없었다. 폐결핵 진단당시 HbAlc와 방사선학적 소견상 폐결핵의 중증도 사이에는 의미 있는 관련성이 없었다. 폐결핵 치료기간동안 혈당조절이 잘된 경우 완치율이 높았고(p<0.05), 혈당조절이 불량한 경우 치료실패율이 높았다 (p<0.05). 결 론: 입원치료를 받았던 당뇨병군과 비당뇨병군의 폐결핵 환자들의 임상상과 폐결핵의 중증도, 치료결과에는 차이가 없었으나 당뇨병군에서 혈당조절이 불량한 환자에서 치료실패율이 높아 당뇨병이 있는 폐결핵 환자에서는 혈당의 적절한 조절이 필수적이며, 고혈당 환자에서 결핵치료 실패를 초래하는 기전에 대한 연구가 필요하겠다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the current status of chronic diseases according to obesity in the elderly older than age 65 using data from the 7th Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2016~2018). The subjects of the survey were 3,245 elderly older than age 65 who participated in the health survey and nutrition survey, 45.8% of the subjects were males and 54.2% of the subjects were female. 37.5% of all the elderly were obese, and the females (42.4%) were more obese than the males (31.8%) (p<0.001). Diabetes, hypertension, and hypertriglyceridemia had a similar prevalence of 24.6%, 63.0%, and 12.7% in males and females, respectively. Hypercholesterolemia was higher in the elderly females (44.2%) than in the elderly males (24.9%) (p<0.001). Through the logistic regression analysis, it was found that the prevalence of chronic diseases was higher in obesity than normal in elderly males and females (p<0.001). The total food intake increased from 'under weight' to 'obesity' in males (p<0.01) and females (p<0.001). In the case of the elderly males, the higher the degree of obesity, the higher the energy intake (p<0.05), and 'pre-obesity' consumed the most energy in elderly females. As a result of this study, the higher the obesity rate of the elderly, the higher the prevalence of chronic diseases.

Fatty liver disease (FLD) can be a precondition for other liver pathology including cholangiocarcinoma (CCA). Diabetes mellitus (DM) has been suggested in some studies to be a risk factor for FLD as well as cancers, including cholangiocellular carcinoma; however, there are currently very few studies on FLD in DM subjects, although the rate of FLD continues to increase annually. To determine the association between DM and FLD ultrasonographic data were analyzed from the Cholangiocarcinoma Screening and Care Program (CASCAP), in northeast Thailand. DM was reported by the subjects based on the CASCAP health questionnaire. Factors that were associated with FLD were determined by prevalence, odds ratio (ORs) and its 95% confidence intervals (CIs) using multiple logistic regression. There were 45,263 subjects with a mean age of 53.46 (${\pm}9.25$) years. FLD was found in 36.3% of DM subjects but only in 20.7% of non-DM subjects. The association between DM and FLD was adjusted for all other factors including gender, age, education level, relatives diagnosed with CCA, smoking, alcohol consumption, and hepatitis B and C. The risk of DM in subjects having FLD was highly significant compared with the non-DM subjects (OR 2.13; 95%CI: 1.92 to 2.35; p-value < 0.001). Thus DM is significantly associated with FLD which in turn may facilitate the development of several diseases including CCA. DM should be taken into consideration in future ultrasonic investigations of FLD and CCA.

Purpose: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a leading cause of death with a prevalence rate of 12.4% in South Korea. Self-management is crucial for patients with DM, because many studies have reported that self-management intervention based on the Health Belief Model (HBM) is effective. The purpose of this study was to investigate the current state of HBM based intervention studies and the components and effects of the theories used in the study for diabetes patients. Methods: A systematic review was conducted using the Pubmed, Cochrane Library and Embase databases from January 2009 to May 2019. We reviewed characteristics of intervention based on the HBM in randomized controlled clinical trials (RCTs), quasi-experimental study intervention. Results: Eight studies published in English between 2009 and 2019 were included in this review. The key components of the health behavior promotion program applied to the DM patients were perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefits, perceived barriers and self-efficacy. The intervention based on these components has reported to significantly increase the health behavior change, likelihood of taking health action and improve physiological indicators (HbA1c, and fasting blood sugar etc.). Conclusion: This study highlighted the importance of intervention programs based on the HBM for DM patients.
