Osteoporosis is a rising problem, as the older age population is increasing due to prolongation of life. Genetic and environmental factors play key roles in bone metabolism, and diet is also an important factor. We investigated the relationship among factors affecting bone mineral density (BMD), including daily food intake and nutrient intake in men aged >50 years. Seventy-eight men, who visited the health promotion center at one of the university medical centers, were divided into normal and osteopenia groups according to their BMD. The body weight of the normal group was significantly higher than that of the osteopenia group. The osteopenia group showed significantly higher carbohydrate intake and lower calcium and vegetable calcium intake compared to those in the normal group. Lumbar spine BMD was negatively correlated with energy, fat, vitamin B1, and sodium intake in the normal group. Additionally, femoral neck BMD was negatively correlated with total animal protein, energy, protein, fat, phosphorous, iron, animal iron, potassium, vitamin B1, B2, B6, and niacin intake. Lumbar spine BMD was positively correlated with fruit, calcium, vegetable calcium, animal calcium, and vitamin C intake in the osteopenia group. Femoral neck BMD was negatively correlated with meat, dairy product, total animal protein, plant protein, animal protein, vitamin A, and cholesterol intake. A stepwise multiple regression analysis revealed that several dietary factors affected BMD, including energy, fat, vitamin B1, B2, B6, niacin, sodium, protein, iron, animal iron, phosphorous, potassium, and animal protein in the normal group and zinc, calcium, vegetable calcium, animal calcium, vitamin C, fruit, protein, animal protein, meat, dairy product, carbohydrates, cholesterol, vegetables, mushrooms, and seasonings in the osteopenia group. These results indicate that adequate nutrient intake plays an important role maintaining optimum bone health in middle aged men.

The purpose of this study was to assess and evaluate salty taste preferences. Samples for the salty taste test were made by adding sodium chloride to soybean sprout soup at five different concentrations: 0.08% (unsalty) ; 0.16% (slightly unsalty) ; 0.31% (neither unsalty nor salty) ; 0.63% (slightly salty) ; and 1.25% (salty). Over 4,210 subjects were randomly selected and tested over a three-year period from 2005 to 2007 in Daegu. The results of the taste test were as follows: Forty-five percent of the subjects preferred soup with a salty taste and slightly salty taste. Most subjects preferred soup with a 0.31% concentration of sodium chloride. There were positive relationships between intensity and preference in 0.08%, 0.16%, and 0.31% concentrations, but there were negative relationships between intensity and preference in 0.63% and 1.25% concentrations (p<0.01). Upon examining a relationship between the taste assessment results and salty eating attitude scores, it was found that the subjects who preferred slightly salty and salty taste showed higher total scores in terms of habitual preference for/enjoyment of eating salty foods than the other groups. Comparing the taste test results with the subjects' stated preference, it was found that 70.3% of the subjects who were classified as preferring salty taste recognized this preference and 53.3% of the subjects who were classified into the population than tends to eat slightly salty food responded that they also tend to prefer a salty taste. Based on these results, this salty taste assessment study can be used as a practical and useful nutrition education tool for assessing and possibly reducing salt intake.

This study was to develop and evaluate a nutrition education program to reduce dietary sodium. The school children (218 boys, 226 girls), from 8 elementary schools in the city of Daegu, Korea, were involved in this study. This research was based on the data from two groups of elementary school children, the "education" group (n = 240), and "no-education" group (n = 204). Educational media and programs were developed to educate the education group for four weeks and were presented on the web (www.saltdown.com). After education, the preference for a non-salty taste in the education group increased 10%, compared with those who preferred a non-salty taste before education. There was a significant change away from a preference for a salty taste and a rise in the mean score for nutrition knowledge and dietary attitude in the education group compared to the no-education group (p < 0.05). This study indicates that school children can reduce their dependency on preference for a salty taste and change their high-salt dietary behavior after the education.

Korean diet is high in plant foods but also high in salted vegetables. World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) recommends consumption of fruits and vegetables excluding salted vegetables for prevention cancer. This study aimed to analyze relations between intakes of salted and non-salted vegetables and socioeconomic factors, providing a data for targeted groups in promotion of fruits and vegetables consumption. Dietary and socioeconomic status data of the 5,400 subjects over 30 years of age from the 2005 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANESIII) were used. Dietary intake data from KNHANESIII was obtained by one day 24-hour recall method. Mean daily intakes of salted vegetables, non-salted vegetables and fruits of subjects were 151 g, 237 g, and 71 g respectively. Mean daily intake of salted vegetables was significantly higher in men than women for daily amount (173 g vs. 133 g) as well as percentage of total food intake (9.9% vs. 9.6%). Subjects living in rural area consumed more salted vegetables. Salted vegetables as percent of total food were lower in subjects with higher education levels (p < 0.001). Intakes of non-salted vegetables were significantly affected by age and gender. Intake levels of fruit were significantly higher in younger groups, in females, and subjects with higher income and education levels (p < 0.05). Average intake of fruits and non-salted vegetables was 307 g, lower than WCRF recommended level of 400 g for personal guideline. Intake of salted vegetables was positively correlated with sodium intake (Pearson's correlation coefficient, r = 0.43) but less so with potassium (r = 0.16) and other micronutrients intake (r < 0.1). On the other hand, non-salted vegetables had higher correlations with potassium (r = 0.45), carotene (r = 0.38), vitamin A (r = 0.37), iron (r = 0.34) and low for sodium (r = 0.13). Fruits intake was highly correlated with vitamin C intake (r = 0.46). Proportion of subjects satisfying WCRF personal guideline of fruits and non-salted vegetables was 25.7%. Results of this study indicate that intake of salted vegetable is considerably high among Koreans, and it is highly correlated with sodium intake and less so with other micronutrients.

In order to develop and propagate the low sodium kimchi for preventing high sodium related diseases, the salinity, pH and acidity of cabbage(Bachu) kimchi sampled from home located in 6 big cities(Pusan, Daegoo, Kyungjoo, Daegoo, Jeonjoo, Daejeon, and Seoul) and commercial 6 manufacturers(A~F) distributed in markets were monitored and analyzed in the current study. Salinity was significantly (p<0.05) higher in homemade($3.03%{\pm}0.60$: 1.79~4.40) kimchi than in commercial($2.38%{\pm}0.60$:1.04~2.87) kimchi. Also, salinity was significantly(p<0.05) higher in Pusan($3.45{\pm}0.60%$) kimchi than in Kyungjoo($3.11{\pm}0.39$), Daegoo($3.19{\pm}0.42$), Jeonjoo($2.98{\pm}0.32$), Daejeon($3.00{\pm}0.38$) and Seoul ($2.52{\pm}0.46%$) kimchi. However, there was no significant difference(p<0.05) of salinity in 6 kinds of commercial kimchi. Related to this result, pH of kimchi from homemade and commercial was $4.40{\pm}0.29$(3.72~6.03) and $5.45{\pm}0.76$ (4.23~6.35), acidity of kimchi from homemade and commercial were $0.99{\pm}0.30%$(0.28~2.17) and $0.45{\pm}023$(0.17~0.93), respectively. Thus, the current study provides evidence that we may need to manufacture the low sodium kimchi because all homemade kimchi, especially Pusan and Daegoo kimchi and commercial brand kimchi contained over 2% salinity.

This study determined the effects of television (TV) advertising restriction of Energy-Dense and Nutrient-Poor Foods on product and promotion activities by food companies producing or selling children's favorite foods. A survey using a selfadministered questionnaire was conducted via on-line or fax by marketers or R&D managers from 108 food companies. The data from 55 respondents (50.9%) were analyzed. Restriction exerted positive effects on food products with respect to compliance with labeling requirements (4.0 out of 5 points) and reinforcement of nutritional contents examination of new products (3.7 out of 5 points). Reformulations of products such as reduction of nutrients like sodium, sugar and fat were also reported. In addition, food companies underwent diverse changes in promotional activities, including modification of package designs and displays in stores, offering free gifts, discounts, etc. In conclusion, restriction of TV food advertising may contribute to improvement of children's food environment by encouraging food companies to make favorable product changes. On the other hand, the results also revealed that food companies adopt diverse marketing channels that are not yet under regulation. Hence, to make policies more effective, regulation needs to be extended from TV to other marketing channels to which children are easily exposed.

최근 우리나라는 어린이를 중심으로 급격한 식생활 변화(nutrition transition)를 겪고 있으며, 이로 인해 나트륨, 당류, 지방 및 포화지방산의 섭취 증가로 인한 질병 발생 위험이 높아질 것으로 우려되고 있다. 현재의 영양표시가 어린이들이 이해하기에 어려운 측면이 있어 건강에 좋은 식품의 섭취를 진작시키기 어려운 상황이다. 본 연구는 어린이들이 보다 건강에 좋은 식품을 선택하는 정보를 쉽게 제공하기 위하여 어린이 기호식품의 영양위해성분(당, 나트륨 및 지방류)의 함량에 따라 고, 중, 저로 표시하는 영양기준(안)을 설정하는데 목표를 두었다. 국내는 물론 제외국의 영양섭취기준, 영양표시를 위한 일일 영양소 기준치, 영양소함량강조 표시, 영국의 GDA(guideline daily amounts)와 신호등표시제, 식사지침 및 영양소섭취량 자료들을 검토 및 비교하였고, 제외국 어린이의 기호식품과 가공식품의 영양위해성분 영양기준 자료를 수집 및 평가하였다. 이를 바탕으로 하여 어린이 기호식품과 가공식품 중의 영양위해성분을 선정하고 고, 중, 저로 표시하는 영양기준 근거를 마련하였다. 또한 서울지역 11개 중학교와 10개 고등학교 내 판매식품 가공식품에 대한 현황 조사와 1,812명의 청소년을 대상으로 한 섭취실태 조사를 통해 다소비가공식품을 선정하였으며, 145개의 대표 가공식품을 본 연구에서 제안하는 영양기준안에 따라 분류하였다. 그 중 85개가 고지방식품으로 분류된 반면에 11개만이 고나트륨식품으로 분류되었다. 그러나 본 연구에서 제시한 영양기준안과 분량의 기준단위에 대한 타당성을 검증하기 위하여 더 많은 식품들에 대해 시뮬레이션 등의 검토가 필요하며, 산업체 등 이해당사자들의 의견 수렴 과정을 거쳐 현실적인 영양기준안으로 다듬어져야 할 것이다.
