This study attempted to analyze the general and physical characteristics, the status of physical function, the type and number of current diagnosis and self-reported symptoms, healthy life mode and food preference according to self-rated health (SRH) of older adults (135 men and 270 women). It also attempted to assess the factors affecting the SRH standards in agricultural and fishery areas located in southwestern Korea. The subjects considered themselves as being 'good'(57.6%), 'normal'(29.6%) or 'poor'(12.85) SRH, meaning positive self-rating of health and it was found that the correlation between factors such as the gender, current marriage status, monthly wage, the reception of the government's livelihood subsidy and subjective economical status and the SRH were significant. Regardless of the categories of obesity, a large number of the participants rated themselves as 'healthy', but not statistically significant. The subjects who reported poor ADL and IADL capacities, indicators of the status of physical function, were significantly more classified to the 'poor' health category and vice versa (P<0.001). The reported chronic diseases in this study that have lasted more than three months, were lumbago, sciatica, arthritis, high blood pressure and peptic ulcer. The current ratios of smoking, drinking and exercise were 85.3, 39.0 and 18.6%, respectively. The less drinking and exercising there was, the higher the 'good' SRH categories obtained (P<0.05). The respondents who had less chance of eating sour and hot foods estimated their health status as being better.

Background: This study aimed to properly manage diseases such as blood sugar control so that patients with diabetes can benefit from both medication and health activities. Also, these health practices are greatly influenced by self-rated health, a subjective assessment of health status. Because self-rated health does not necessarily match the objective health status, it is important to identify which factors affect self-rated health. Methods: For the study, the data was gathered from the 4th-6th National Health Nutrition Survey (2007-2015). Out of the total 73,353 participants in the survey, 2,303 patients with uncontrolled blood sugar with an HbA1c level of more than 7% were selected for the final study. Dependent variables fell into two categories depending on how the participant reported whether he or she was in good health or not. Independent variables included socio-demographics, health behavioral, and health status factors. This study performed logistic regression analysis. Results: Out of 2,303 participants, 18.1% reported that their heath was 'good,' despite the fact that their blood sugar level was not controlled. After running a logistic regression model, the odds ratio of groups that perceive subjective health awareness as good was higher in the groups of people as below: in the people over 60 years old; in the people who graduated from a junior college or higher than those who had a level of education of primary school completion or less; in the people living in Chungnam than those living in Seoul; and in the group with hypertriglyceridemia. Conclusion: The study identified factors associated with those failed to perceive the blood sugar level as a severe health problem despite of the fact that blood sugar was not controlled. To improve public health, diabetes management policies need to be addressed to population groups with these problems above.

Purpose: This study was conducted to identify activities of daily living, depression and self-rated health and related factors for Korean Elderly. Methods: Data from the survey for the Korean Longitudinal Study of Aging in 2010 were used. The data were analyzed using frequencies, weighted proportions, and hierarchical multiple logistic regression. Results: Significant difference was observed in health status induced by socioeconomic status between men and women, but not among age groups. Socioeconomic status was strongly associated with self-rated health among male and female elders. Being unschooled and low net family asset were significantly related with dependency in activities of daily living and depressive symptoms among men. Only low net family asset was significantly related with depressive symptoms among women. Family support provides a slight decrease to the negative relationship between socioeconomic status and health status, especially depressive symptoms. Conclusion: This study suggests that interventions to reduce health inequalities should target elderly with lower socioeconomic status and with poor family support, using a gender-specific approach.

This study examined the socioeconomic factors that affect self-rated health (SRH) in healthy adults, and the relationship of SRH to health-related habits, serum biochemical indices, and nutritional intakes. Subjects consisted of 1,154 healthy adults without any known disease, aged 19 to 65 years (average age of 36.7), whose information was obtained from the 2013 Korean National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey data. Of these subjects, 73 rated themselves as 'very healthy,' 460 indicated that they were 'healthy,' 568 self-identified as 'ordinary', and 53 put themselves in the 'unhealthy' category. The proportion of subjects who chose 'unhealthy' was significantly increased with higher frequencies of disruptions in their daily lives (p<0.05), regret after drinking (p<0.05), smoking (p<0.001), and higher levels of stress (p<0.001). On the other hand, the proportion of subjects reported as 'very healthy' was significantly higher with regular intense (p<0.001) or moderate physical activities (p<0.05), regular walking (p<0.05), a perception of being 'normal' in their body image (p<0.01), a decrease of body weight more than 3 kg in the past year (p<0.05), and without risk factors for metabolic syndrome (p<0.05). Serum triglyceride level was lower, and 25-(OH) vitamin D content was significantly higher, in the 'very healthy' group as compared to the 'unhealthy' group (p<0.05). Dietary fiber and vitamin C intakes were significantly higher in the 'very healthy' group than 'unhealthy' group (p<0.05). The overall results suggest that a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise, non-smoking, good stress management, and higher intakes of fiber and vitamin C, may be potential factors that affect one's positive perception of health.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare health promotion lifestyles of college nursing students between students who live with their parents and students who are self-boarders. Methods: The sample consisted of 375 college nursing students in C and S city. Self report questionnaires were used to measure the variables. In data analysis, the SPSSWIN 18.0 program was utilized for descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and multiple regression analysis. Results: The mean score for Health Promotion Lifestyle in living with the parents group was significantly higher than that of the self-boarders group (t=-2.16, p=.031). In multiple regression, perceived health state, exercise frequency, self-rated knowledge about health, and grade were significant predictors of Health Promotion Lifestyle in college nursing students, explaining 26.3%. Conclusion: This study suggests that perceived health state, exercise frequency, and self-rated knowledge about health, and grade are significant influencing factors in Health Promotion Lifestyle in college nursing students. Therefore, strategies which improve these variables must be developed for college nursing students.

본 연구는 성인 음주자의 음주 패턴과 정신건강 및 주관적 불건강 상태와의 관련성을 확인하기 위하여 국민건강 영양조사(2010~2013)의 19세 이상 성인 음주자 19,856명의 자료를 사용하여 복합표본 로지스틱 회귀분석하였다. 저위험 음주를 기준으로 했을 때 남성은 알코올 사용장애에서 스트레스 인지, 우울감 및 자살 생각을 경험할 위험이 높았고, 여성은 알코올 사용장애 뿐만 아니라 위험 음주에서도 스트레스 인지, 우울감 및 자살 생각의 위험이 유의하게 높아 남성보다 음주 문제로 인한 정신건강의 취약성이 높은 것으로 확인되었다. 또한 남녀 모두 과거 음주는 저위험 음주와 비교했을 때 정신건강 손상의 위험에서는 차이가 없었지만, 주관적으로 불건강하다고 평가할 위험은 높은 것으로 확인되었다. 따라서 유해 음주자를 조기 선별하여 신체와 정신 건강 상태에 대한 포괄적 평가와 함께 여성 음주자를 위한 차별화된 정신건강 관리대책이 필요하고, 과거 음주를 비음주나 저위험 음주로부터 분리하여 신체 및 정신 건강 상태를 평가하는 것이 필요하다.

Mibyeong (sub-health) is a concept that represents the sub-health in traditional East Asian medicine. Assuming that the nose sizes and shapes are related to respiratory function, in this study, we hypothesized that the nose size and shape features are related to the self-rated health (SRH) level and self-rated Mibyeong severity, and aimed to assess this relationship using a fully automated image analysis system. The nose size features were evaluated from the frontal and profile face images of 810 participants. The nose size features consisted of five length features, one area feature, and one volume feature. The level of SRH and the Mibyeong severity were determined using a questionnaire. The normalized nasal height was negatively associated with the self-rated health score (SRHS) (partial ρ = -0.125, p = 3.53E-04) and the Mibyeong score (MBS) (partial ρ = -.172, p = 9.38E-07), even after adjustment for sex, age, and body mass index. The normalized nasal volume (ρ = -.105, p = 0.003), the normalized nasal tip protrusion length (ρ = -.087, p = 0.014), and the normalized nares width (ρ = -.086, p = .015) showed significant correlation with the SRHS. The normalized nasal area (ρ = -.118, p = 0.001), the normalized nasal volume (ρ = -.107, p = .002) showed significant correlation with the MBS. The wider, longer, and larger the nose, the lower the SRHS and MBS, indicating that health status can be estimated based on the size and shape features of the nose.

본 연구는 개인의 주관적 건강상태 판정의 국가간 차이에 주목한다. 주관적 건강상태는 기본적으로 객관적 건강상태에 영향을 받지만, 이를 해석하는 태도나 주관적 신념의 영향을 받아 최종적으로 형성되는 판단이라고 본다. 그러므로 주관적 건강상태의 국가별 차이는 (1) 객관적 건강상태의 차이와 (2) 개인의 태도나 신념체계에 영향을 미치는 사회 문화적 특성의 차이의 결합으로 이해되어야 한다. 2006년에 새로 구축된 '고령화연구패널조사' 자료와 유럽 3개국의 고령자조사 자료를 비교한 결과, 우리나라 고령자가 유럽의 고령자에 비하여 자신의 건강상태를 부정적으로 판정하는 경향이 강하다는 사실을 확인하였다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 사실을 두 가지 방식으로 설명하였다. 첫째, 만성질환 여부나 일상생활 수행능력의 영향을 통제하고 보더라도, 우리나라 고령자의 주관적 건강상태 판정은 독일과 스웨덴, 이태리에 비하여 현저히 부정적이다. 둘째, 만성질환 여부나 일상생활 수행능력 정도와 같은 객관적인 건강상태의 수준은 주관적인 건강상태에 영향을 미치는 것이 분명하지만, 그 정도는 국가마다 다르다. 우리나라에서는 만성질환이 있는 경우, 이로 인하여 주관적 건강상태를 부정적으로 평가하게 되는 정도가 다른 나라보다 심한 것으로 보인다. 그 원인이 무엇인지는 후속연구의 주제로 남긴다.

본 연구는 우리나라 성인의 정신건강과 주관적 구강건강과의 관련성을 알아보고자 제5기(2012년) 국민건강영양조사를 이용하여 19세 이상 55세 이하의 성인 3,591명을 연구대상으로 하였다. 정신건강에 따른 주관적 구강건강의 위험도와 95% 신뢰구간은 다변량로지스틱회귀분석을 통해 산출하였으며, 주요결과는 다음과 같다. 본인인지 구강건강상태에서는 스트레스를 많이 받는 경우(OR=1.62; 95% CI=1.36-1.95), 치통경험에서는 2주 이상 연속 우울감이 있는 경우(OR=1.40; 95% CI=1.06-1.85), 저작불편호소경험에서는 정신문제상담 경험이 있는 경우(OR=2.31; 95% CI=1.28-4.18), 악관절 증상경험에서는 2주 이상 연속 우울감이 있는 경우(OR=1.83; 95% CI=1.39-2.42), 말하기 문제의 경우 정신문제 상담을 받은 경우(OR=4.80; 95% CI=2.10-10.94)에서 위험도가 가장 높게 나타났다. 따라서 스트레스인지, 우울증상 경험, 정신문제 상담경험이 주관적 구강건강과 관련성이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 성인의 정신건강을 고려한 구강건강 증진 프로그램을 개발한다면 두 가지 영역에 융합적으로 많은 도움이 될 것으로 생각된다.
