Objectives: The effect of meat consumption on cardiometabolic risk has been continuously studied, but their associations are not conclusive. The aim of this study is to examine the association between the consumption of meat or red meat and carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) in healthy Korean adults. Methods: This study evaluated 2374 community-dwelling adults (933 men and 1441 women) who were free of cardiovascular disease or cancer, living in a rural area in Korea. Total meat and red meat intakes were assessed with a validated 103 item-food frequency questionnaire. Carotid IMT was evaluated ultrasonographically, IMTmax was defined as the highest value among IMT of bilateral common carotid arteries. Results: After adjustment for potential confounding factors, the mean IMTmax tended to increase in higher meat consumption groups in both men and women with metabolic syndrome (p for trend= 0.027 and 0.049, respectively), but not in participants without metabolic syndrome. Frequent meat consumption (${\geq}5$ servings/week) was significantly associated with higher IMTmax in men with metabolic syndrome (by 0.08 mm, p=0.015). Whereas, the association was not significant in women (by 0.05 mm, p=0.115). Similar but attenuated findings were shown with red meat intake. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that a higher meat consumption may be associated with a higher carotid IMT in Korean adults with metabolic syndrome. The frequent meat consumption (${\geq}5$ servings/week), compared with the others, was associated with a higher carotid IMTmax only in men with metabolic syndrome. Further research is required to explore optimal meat consumption in people with specific medical conditions.

Bean yellow mosaic virus (BYMV; genus Potyvirus, family Potyviridae) causes severe losses to various legume species and a number of non-legume species, particularly freesia plants. In a survey of virus diseases in Gyeonggi province, Korea, BYMV isolates were identified from many cultivated freesia species. Here, we determined the complete nucleotide sequences of a BYMV freesia isolate (BYMV-Fr; accession number FJ492961). BYMV-Fr genome consists of 9,545 nucleotides (nt) excluding the poly (A) tail and encodes 3,057 amino acid (aa), with an AUG start and UAG stop codon, containing one open reading frame typical of a potyvirus polyprotein. The polyprotein of BYMV-Fr was divided to ten proteins and the cleavage sites of each protein were determined. The coat protein (CP) and polyprotein of BYMV-Fr were compared at the aa level with those of the previously reported 4 BYMV isolates. BYMV-Fr shared 90.1 to 97.1 and 91.0 to 92.5% at the CP and polyprotein homology. Interestingly, BYMV-Fr showed identities of a lower level at the nt level of 5' noncoding region (61.4 to 67.6%) and at the aa level of P1 (71.4 to 72.8%), comparing with four BYMV isolates. Based on the aa sequence diversity of CP and polyprotein, phylogenetic analysis with the four BYMV isolates showed two distinct groups and BYMV-Fr and most BYMV isolates were most closely related to the clover yellow vein virus among 52 potyviruses. To our knowledge, this is the first report of the complete genome sequence of BYMV freesia strain.

The purpose of this study is (1) to develop native foods in the future continuosly, and (2) to provide basic information allowing college student's to correctly understand traditional culture, by investigating those college students' preference and understanding of the native foods in Cheju-do. To accomplish these purposes, the survey was carried out by use of questionaires for 344 residing in Cheju-do from 20th to 29th May, 1989. The statistical analysis including frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation was performed by use of SAS program, while the significant difference between groups was examined by $x^2-test$. The results of this study are summarized as follows : 1. It was showed that college man had higher understanding and preference of those native foods than college women. 2. The result relating to age indicated that the more the age, higher understanding and preference. 3. The result by residing areas showed that the college students in the rural area showed higher understanding and preference than students in the urban area. 4. Based on the educational background of those subjects' mothers, it was shown that those college students of mothers having lower educational background had higher understanding and preference of native foods. 5. Those college students having good understanding of native foods accounted for 63.4 percent, while students requiring the continued development of those native foods for 91.0 percent. As a consequence, it is apparent that most subjects tended to show the positive responses to those native foods.

Seven aspects of attitude toward marriage in Korea are examined to better understand present and future marriage patterns. Also, various facets of current marriage practice are compared with attitudes. The study comprises three groups of roughly 600 women each, selected by random sampling from a rural, an urban, and a semi-urban area. A carefully designed and pretested questionnaire was checked for reliability by a reinterview in a 15% subsample. The great majority of Korean women support traditional attitudes that one must or should marry. The small group who recommend that one should not marry are mostly the very young or the never married, whose attitudes still may change. However, there are important and probably predictive shifts in favor of more individual decision, especially among the better educated, the young, and the more urban. Traditional reasons for marriage such as "custom" and procreation are ranked first by a majority, but there is a large shift to more contemporary or liberal desire for companionship and love, also primarily among the better educated, the urban, the young, and the never married. The traditional attitude that parents should have the sole or major role in mate selection is still held by a bare majority; the educated, urban, young, and never married are more liberal. Only 6% opt for each of the two extremes: That the parent alone or the respondent alone should decide. The remainder prefer one of the two middle-of-the-road positions where parent and child together decide. The proportions of respondents who classed specified criteria as moat important for selecting a husband, arranging the criteria in order from traditional to contemporary were: Lineage, etc., 23%; personal attributes, 40%; health and education, 27%; and love, 10%. The changing attitudes are suggested by the fact that love was ranked first by only 3% of the poorly educated rural poulation versus 23% of urban college level and 31% of the urban never married. There has been a substantial rise in the ideal age of marriage over the past twelve or more years, but there also is evidence that the ideal age is at or near a ceiling. Knowledge about legal age of marriage is minimal; the implications of this for proposed legislation are discussed. Three-fifthes to four-fifths of all respondents married husbands of the same religious, residential, and economic backgrounds as themselves. Almost all of them married men of the same or higher educational level. These evidences of traditional influences in mate selection are contrasted with the low priority given some of those items in earlier questions on reasons for marriage and criterion for selecting husband. Contrary to the expressed attitudes as to who should select the husband, we find that marriages of the study sample were stated to be arranged by parents alone in 62%; and in another 23%, the parents made the decision but asked the respondent's views. Such arrangements were most frequent among the rural, the less educated, and the older respondents and less common in the urban and more educated. The implications of these and related findings are discussed.

Objectives: To evaluate the critical environmental factors on healthy-aging of Korean people, we investigated the significant factors influencing health status of septuagenarians living in rural area of Jeonla province, known to be one of the representative longevity regions in Korea. Methods: We divided subjects into healthy group (36M/25F) or poor-health group (26M/73F) based on self-reported health status, body mass index, a number of prescription, and blood test data. General characteristics, physical measurements, lifestyle, dietary behavior and nutrient intake, physical health and mental health data were statistically compared between the two groups. Results: Average age was not different between healthy group and poor-health group in men and women, respectively. In men, significantly favorable factors to health were observed to be higher education, regular exercise, higher grip strength and walking function, body mass index (${\geq}18.5kg/m^2$), moderate frequency of drinking and eating-out, non-smoking, normal red blood cell (RBC) count, higher serum dehydroepiandrosterone-sulfate (DHEAS) level, good digestive function and appetite, normal hearing function, regular meals, adequate vegetable and fruit intake, diverse food intake, adequate energy and nutrients (protein, vitamin $B_1$, $B_6$, C and E, folate, niacin, P, Zn and K) intake, higher mini-nutrient status assessment (MNA) score and low level of depression. On the other hand, in women, those were literacy, living arrangement, moderate frequency of drinking, healthy teeth, higher grip strength and walking function, bone mineral density, normal RBC and white blood cell (WBC) count, higher DHEAS concentration, higher MNA score, normal cognition and memory function, having snack and adequate fruit intake. Conclusions: These results could be useful to plan effective strategies to increase health-life expectancy of Korean old people living in rural areas.

본 연구는 비만 중년 여성에서 절식과 여러 수준의 유산소 트레이닝을 실시한 후 운동 중단이 지단백 및 신체 조성에 미치는 영향을 규명하기 위하여 실시하였다. 연구대상자는 목포시에 거주하고 있는 체지방율이 30% 이상인 중년 여성 30명이었다. 이들을 무작위로 10명씩을 절식만 하는 대조군, 절식과 40% 강도 운동을 하는 군, 절식과 60% 강도 운동을 하는 군으로 배정하였다. 8주간의 운동프로그램은 운동부하 테스트를 실시하여 최대산소섭취량에 상응하는 최대심박수에 따라 실시하였다. 이 후 운동 중단 4주와 8주차의 신체적 변화 및 혈중지질의 변화를 측정하였다. 연구 결과 비만 지표의 변화는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 체중은 40% 운동군과 60% 운동군에서 운동8주후에 유의한 감소를 하였으며, 운동중단 후 다시 증가하였다. 둘째, BMI는 40% 운동군과 60% 운동군에서 운동 8주후에 유의한 감소를 하였으며, 운동중단 후 다시 증가하였다. 셋째, 체지방율는 40% 운동군과 60% 운동군에서 운동 8주후에 유의한 감소를 하였으며, 운동중단 후 다시 증가하였다. 혈중 지질의 변화는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 총콜레스테롤(TC)은 40% 운동군과 60% 운동군에서 운동시기별로 유의한 차이를 나타냈으며, 운동직후 집단간에도 차이가 나타났다. 둘째, 중성지방(TG)의 경우 40% 운동군, 60% 운동군에서 운동시기별 유의한 차이를 나타냈으며, 운동직후 집단간에도 차이가 나타났다. 셋째, 고밀도지단백 콜레스테롤(HDL-C)의 경우 60% 운동군에서 운동직후 유의한 상승을 나타냈으며, 시기별 집단간에는 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, 저밀도지단백 콜레스테롤(LDL-C)의 경우 40%, 60%에서 운동시기별 유의한 차이를 나타냈으며, 운동 직후 집단간에도 차이가 있었다. 결론적으로 일일 500kcal의 절식과 최대산소섭취량의 40% 운동과 60% 운동 강도를 8주간 실시하는 것은 체중조절을 위한 충분한 운동 강도와 기간이었다. 운동 중단을 하면 운동전 상태로 회귀하는 요요 현상이 나타났다. 그러나 운동 중단 후 4주 정도는 운동 효과가 아직 남아있으므로 운동을 그만 두더라도 적어도 1달 이내에 운동을 다시 시작하면 운동의 효과가 지속 될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

본 연구는 관절염 여성노인을 대상으로 건강다이어리 프로그램을 개발하고 그 효과를 분석하여 낙상위험이 있는 관절염 여성노인을 위한 간호중재 서비스의 기초자료로 활용하고자 수행되었다. 2010년 9월 27일부터 11월 26일까지 대상자의 집을 방문하여 낙상예방을 위한 교육과 자가능력 향상을 위한 교육을 실시하였다. 프로그램 시작전 사전 평가를 하였고 종료 후 실험 후 평가를 실시하였다. 연구대상은 전라남도의 지역사회에 거주하며 의사로부터 관절염 진단을 받은 국민기초생활수급자 혹은 건강보험료 부과 하위 20%에 해당되는 65세 이상의 여성 노인으로서 연구자가 연령대별로 짝지어 실험군에 24명 대조군에 24명을 배정하였다. 중재는 8주 프로그램 이었으며 낙상관련 심리적 변수(낙상두려움, 낙상 효능감, 낙상지식), 일상 활동수행 정도, 기분상태를 측정하였다. 프로그램 1회 소요 시간은 약 50분 정도이며 관절염 질환이해 및 재활, 낙상관련 예방교육 등 2영역 교육내용을 16회로 나누어 제공하였으며, 매회 건강증진을 위한 자가 간호 수행정도점검과 개인별 상담으로 구성하였다. 이해력과 학습력을 높이기 위해 다이어리 전 내용을 그림으로 제작하였으며 매일의 건강증진 활동 실천을 확인하기 위해 자가 간호 수행표를 만들어 해당항목에 스티커를 부치도록 하였다. 프로그램 참여에 따른 낙상관련 심리적 변수, 일상 활동수행정도, 기분상태 변수에 대한 변화를 측정하여 분석한 결과 낙상예방 다이어리 프로그램을 시행한 실험군은 대조군에 비해 낙상 두려움, 낙상 지식, 기분상태는 유의한 차이가 있었으나 낙상효능감, 일상 활동수행 정도는 유의한 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 이상의 결과로 볼 때 본 연구의 낙상예방 프로그램은 저소득층 관절염 여성노인의 낙상예방 지식, 낙상 두려움, 기분상태에도 긍정적인 변화를 나타내어 프로그램 적용의 합리성을 보여주었다. 그러나, 본 연구에서는 낙상위험 정도에 따른 대상자 비교를 하지 않았으므로 낙상예방 프로그램의 구성 타당도를 높이기 위해서는 대상자의 낙상위험요인을 중등도로 분류하고 이를 전기노인과 후기노인 등 연령별로 교육효과를 비교하는 추후연구가 필요하다고 생각된다.

This study was a survey done for the purpose of constructing a nursing theory according to Korean culture and to identify the traditional Korean view of humans and the expectations of the sick role, and to confirm changes from the traditional view of humans and expectations of the sick role according to general characteristics of the population. The subjects were all adults over 18 years old. 517 who lived in six large cities and 191 who lived in five rural communities. Data collection was done from November 19th, 1994 to January 19th, 1995 using a tool to measure the traditional view of humans and expectations of the sick role which was developed by the investigator through a literature review. Collected data were analyzed using frequency, percent, Cronbach alpha, 1-test, F-test and Scheffe post hoc contrasts, with the SAS program. The results of this study are summerized as follows : 1. The Traditional view of human score for all subject was 49.92, which shows that Korean traditional view of human is moderate. High scored items were "human need to live by making harmony with nature, not by overcoming the nature" (3.44), "Filial duty to parents and elders is important" (3.31), "Think of family more than a individual" (2.96). 2. The differences in the traditional view of humans between residential districts showed that the residents of Chungbuk(56.00), Kyungbuk(55.26), Chonbuk(51.32), Taegu(50.59) had a more traditional view of humans than those in Pusan(45.42) and Seoul (47.27). 3. The differences in the traditional view of humans according to general characteristics showed that rural community residents, males, older people, people with lower levels of education, married and house-resident groups had a significantly higher traditional view of humans than urban residents, females, younger people, people with a higher levels of education, single and apartment-resident groups. There were differences according to religion and job. Buddhism had a higher traditional view of humans than those of atheism, Christianity and Catholicism and physical workers, a significantly highers score, than technicians and professional workers. 4. Daily expected task performance during illnesses was lowest for patients with stroke (2.16) and psychosis(2.40), in which case almost no daily general tasks were expected, followed by arthritis 4.06, peptic ulcer 4.79, headache 4.99 and cough 5.58. The amount of expected role exemption during illnesses was also highest for stroke(2.25), followed by psychosis(2.08), arthritis(1.64), peptic ulcer(1.29), headache(1.16) and cough(1.09). The amount of daily task performance in the acute stage(3.05) was significantly lower than that of convalescent stage(4.95). 5. Total expectation of role exemption according to general characteristics showed that there was no significant differences in urban /rural community, marriage, level of education and religion. By sex, women showed higher expectation of role exemption during illnesses than men. By age, the 31-40 year old group showed lower expectation of role exemption than the 41-50 year old group or over the 61 year old group.or over the 61 year old group.

Five hundred seventeen farmers(214 males and 303 females), over age 30 and living in Suh San County, Unsan township, were examined to determine the prevalence of peasants syndrome. Using the health interview questionnaire, the farmers were asked whether they had any of eight subjective symptoms during the past one month before the survey, October 1979. Those symptoms reported were scored based on a pre-determined point system. The farmers with high symptom scores(7 points or more) were further examined by the liver function test. In addition, all the sample(517 cases) were subjected to the examination of urinalysis and blood pressure. The liver function test is also undertaken for those farmers with high symptome scores(7 points or more) and those with abnormal findings in urinalysis and blood pressure. The results are summarized below: 1) 156 out of 517 farmers(30.2%) have had seven points or more of the symptom scores. Among the eight major symptoms, 72% of the farmers complained of lumbago. 2) The prevalence of peasant's syndrome were higher among females and the older age group. The symptom scores of this syndrome were slightly higher among women who have had many children (e. g. 4 or more). 3) The prevalence of peasant's syndrome was also related to the level of one's education-the lower education groups were found to have higher symptom scores of this syndrome. This may be due to the fact that the lower education groups are more exposed to manual labor. 4) The points of the peasants syndrome were higher in hypertensive farmers and those with abnormal findings of urinaly sis. 5) It was reported, in Japan, that those with high scores of the syndrome are more likely to have an abnormal findings in the liver function test. However, in this study it was observed that there was no significant difference between those with high scores of the syndrome (7 points or more) and those with low score of the syndrome(6 points or less) in the prevalence of abnormal liver function. As this study indicates that the point system given for the peasant's syndrome is closely related to the high bleod pressure and abnormal urinalysis(and to some extent to the abnormal liver function), there is a need to study peasant's syndrome more extensively. Such an effort will serve to detect varonic disease conditions among farmer's towards better management of farmer's health, which is vitally important for rural development in Korea.
