Purpose: Previous studies have reported the difference in nutritional status between South and North Korean infants and young children (IYC). Clear understanding on the nature of such differences is essential for planning food and nutrition policies and programs to prepare for a possible re-unification of the two Koreas in future. This study was undertaken to yield valid statistics comparing the nutritional status between North and South Korean IYC. Methods: Raw data obtained from the 2017 Korean National Growth Chart and the 2013-2017 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were analyzed to determine the comparable statistics that include weight for age z-score (WAZ), height for age z-score (HAZ) and weight for height z-score (WHZ), with data reported in the Survey Findings Report of the 2017 DRP Korea Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey. The average weight and height by gender and month were estimated for North Korean IYC and calculated for South Korean IYC. SPSS analysis was applied to evaluate the acquired statistics and compare the nutritional status of South and North Korean IYC. Results: WAZ, HAZ and WHZ of North Korean IYC were observed to be lower than values obtained for South Korean IYC as well as the median values of World Health Organization Child Growth Standards across all ages. Similar patterns were observed for average height and weight. The nutritional status of North Korean IYC revealed a prevalence of highly underweight (9.3%), stunting (19.1%) and wasting (2.5%) values, and was determined to be significantly lower than values obtained for South Korean IYC (0.8%, 1.8%, and 0.7%, respectively). Conclusion: This study has yielded valid statistics that compare the nutritional status of North and South Korean IYC. Results of this study confirm the prevalence of nutritional status difference between South and North Korea.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: The association between nutritional status and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is not fully understood. This study was conducted to understand the role of nutritional status on HRQoL among people with and without T2DM. SUBJECTS/METHODS: Structured survey and direct measurement of anthropometric data were conducted among people with and without T2DM. Nutritional status was measured with Mini Nutritional Assessment tool and HRQoL was measured with a 36-item Short Form Healthy Survey. Data collection was conducted in Chuncheon, South Korea with 756 participants who are older than 40 yrs of age. RESULTS: This study found that overall HRQoL were significantly lower in people with T2DM than people without T2DM after controlling for key covariates. When stratified by nutritional status, a greater degree of negative impact of T2DM on overall physical HRQoL was observed among well-nourished or at risk of malnutrition, whereas significant and more evident negative impact of diabetes on overall psychological HRQoL was observed only among malnourished. CONCLUSIONS: The study results suggest the role of nutritional status among people with T2DM on overall, especially psychological aspects of HRQoL. Future longitudinal or intervention studies are warranted to test the impact of nutritional status on HRQoL among people with T2DM.

이 연구는 사회조사에서 개인의 경제적 지위 측정값으로 주택자산의 적용 가능성을 알아 보았다. 이를 위하여 주택자산을 수입이나 주관적 계층평가처럼 기존에 널리 사용되고 있는 경제적 지위 측정값들과 비교하였다. 아울러 이러한 경제적 지위 측정값들과 다른 사회적 변수와의 관계를 살펴봄으로써 기존 변수와 주택자산의 유용성을 비교해 보고자 한다. 이를 위하여 전국의 3,000여 가구를 대상으로 조사된 2005년 전국가족실태조사 중에서 수도권 아파트 거주자 자료와 국민은행의 아파트 시세 자료를 사용하였다. 자료의 제한점에도 불구하고, 이 연구는 몇 가지 시사점을 제시하고 있다. 첫째, 다른 경제적 지위 측정값들과 분포나 다른 변수와의 관계에서 아파트 자산은 상이한 결과를 보였다. 자료수집이라는 측면만을 고려하여 경제적 지위를 측정하는 것은 연구자의 의도와 다른 결과를 산출할 수도 있다는 점을 보여 주고 있다. 둘째, 불완전하지만 아파트 시세 같은 보다 객관적인 지표의 활용 가능성을 적극적으로 검토할 필요가 있다. 최근에 부동산 자산에서 계층별 격차가 더 커지고 있다는 점을 고려할 때, 보다 객관적인 자료가 사회조사에서 적용된다면, 연구자의 의도를 보다 정확하게 반영할 수 있는 한 가지 방법이 될 것이다.

This study aimed to investigate whether protestant religious facilities are maintained appropriately for people and regular inspections are conducted. As a study method, survey and site investigation were conducted. The survey questionnaire aimed to know the perception of users or responsible persons about safety management and current status of safety management systems while the site investigation aimed to inspect structural conditions by a visual inspection such as proper installation of fire protection equipment and whether regular inspection were conducted. It was found, through the inspection of the current safety management status, that the safety management related persons did not know which parts and how much they manage incorrectly, and did not know the follow-up actions in case of accidents. Therefore, it is essentially required to assign a proper person to the facilities for safety management and to have safety consciousness education. Furthermore, although more than 80% of the surveyed subjects responded that they were familiar with the way to use safety management related facilities and overall instructions, the respondent were concerned about the correspondent training for emergent circumstances.
