This study analyzed the survey results of 302 college students from a coed university in Korea. The following three research components were examined: relationships among different eating styles, violation behaviors after unwanted eating, and consumption behaviors for three different food types. The analysis results showed that restrained eating was positively related to emotional eating, but negatively related to external eating. And emotional and external eating displayed a positive relationship. Body shape dissatisfaction was a significant variable in explaining restrained eating behavior. After unwanted eating, the restrained eaters expressed more regrets and stronger determination to diet than the less restrained eaters. The emotional eaters and external eaters responded that they could not stop eating and performed binge eating behaviors when they failed their diet. With regard to food attitudes and eating styles, snacks were favorably related to emotional eating. Fast food attitudes were negatively associated with restrained eating. Preference was the only significant variable in explaining snack consumption frequency; however sex, preference, and restrained eating were significant for fast foods. Finally, vegetarian foods were explained by preference and sex.

The purpose of this study is to verify nutrient intake status and prevalence of obesity in vegetarians non-vegetarians and non-vegetarians. The vegetarian subjects consisted of 127 Buddhist nuns(age:23-79 yrs) from Oonmoon Temple on the Choungdo District of Gyeongsang Bookdo Province and 118 Buddhist nuns practicing Zen meditation at Soodeok Temple in Yeosan District of Chongcheong Namdoo Province. Control subjects were 235 healthy female adults aged from 23 to 79 years old. They were teachers and nurses at the hospital of Gyeongsang National University and housewives living in Chinju, Gyeingsang Namdoo Province. The study was conducted from October 1996 to February 1997, and consisted of a survey and anthropometric measurement. The results are summarized as follows : The average age of the subjects was 44.2 yrs for vegetarians and 40.5 yrs for non-vegetarians. The average body mass index(BMI) of vegetarians and non-vegetarians was 22.4 and 21.0, the waist hip ratio(WHR) was 0.8 and 0.8, and the percentage of body fat was 28.7 and 26.5 respectively. The average duration of vegetarian diet among vegetarians was 13.1 years. The nutrient intakes of vegetarians were above the RDA for all the nutrients expect calcium and vitamin A. The intakes of fat, cholesterol, saturated fatty acid and the energy ratio from fat among the vegetarians were significantly lower than those of the non-vegetarians(p〈0.01). However, the vegetarians consumed significantly higher amounts of fiber and vitamin C compared to the non-vegetarians(p〈0.01). Also, the ratio of dietary polyunsaturated fatty acid/saturated fatty acid was significantly higher in vegetarians. The prevalence of obesity was 13.9% for vegetarians and 11.9% for non-vegetarians by criteria of BMI 25 as obese.

Increasing numbers of Korean adults, especially women, are adopting vegetarian diets for various reasons. In this study, the characteristics of vegetarianism among females residing in Seoul were examined. In addition, the dietary habits and eating behaviors between vegetarians and non-vegetarians were investigated. A total of 148 females (73 vegetarians, 75 non-vegetarians) were recruited and questionnaires regarding their demographic characteristics and eating habits were completed. The eating behavior and daily intake of food groups was assessed using the three factor eating questionnaire-R18 (TFEQ-R18) and food frequency questionnaire, respectively. The ages, BMI, education, and religious affiliation were not significantly different between the two groups. More than 30% of vegetarians had followed a vegetarian diet for longer than 24 months. The most common motivations for vegetarianism in study participants were 'health or weight control' (46.6%) followed by 'environmental concerns or animal welfare' (24.7%). Vegetarians had a lower intake of cereals, Kimchi, and soda, but a higher intake of potatoes and sweet potatoes, vegetables, mushrooms, seaweed, and fruits compared to non-vegetarians. Significant differences in eating behavior scores were also found between the two groups; in particular, vegetarians reported higher levels of restrained eating and emotional eating than non-vegetarians. Scores of uncontrolled eating, however, were not significantly different between the two groups. In conclusion, these results suggest that while vegetarianism is associated with healthy dietary habits, it is associated with restrained eating behaviors which may increase the risk of eating disorders in women.

Murraya koenigii leaves commonly known as 'curry patta' are routinely added to Indian gravy and vegetarian dishes by south Indian as a favourate condiment. The present study was undertaken to investigate the effects of Murraya koenigii leaves (MKL) on memory in rats. Elevated plus-maze and Hebb-Williams maze served as the exteroceptive behavioral models for testing memory. Diazepam-, scopolamine- and ageing-induced amnesia served as the interoceptive behavioral models. MKL fed orally to various groups of young and aged rats with diet containing 2, 4 and 8% w/w of MKL for 30 days consecutively were investigated. The MKL diets produced a significant dose-dependent improvement in memory scores of young and aged rats and significantly reduced the amnesia induced by scopolamine (0.4 mg/kg, i.p.) and diazepam (1 mg/kg, i.p.). Therefore, it would be worthwhile to specifically investigate the therapeutic potential of MKL in the management of dementia patients.

우리나라에도 심혈관질환으로 인한 사망률이 점차 증가하고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 채식과 혈청지질 수준 및 혈당, 혈압과의 관계를 규명하기 위한 연구의 일환으로 채식을 하는 비구니스님을 대상으로 하여 연구한 결과를 요약하면 조사대상자의 평균나이는 채식인 44.2세, 비채식인 40.5세, BMI는 각각 22.4, 21.0이었고, WHR은 0.8, 0.8이었고, %BF는 28.7,26.5였으며, 채식인의 평균채식기간은 13.1년이었다. 조사대상자의 total-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, HDL-chole-sterol, AI, 수축기혈압 및 혈당은 비채식인이 유의적으로 낮았으며, 심혈관질환 예견지수인 HDL-cholsterol/total-chol-esterol 비는 채식인이 유의적으로 높았다. 두군 모두 중성지방, 혈청 총 콜레스테롤, LDL-cholesterol, AI,는 BMI, WHR, %BF와는 유의적으로 높은 정의상관을 보였다. HDL-cho-lesterol은 BMI, WHR과는 유의한 부의상관을 보였다. 나이는 채식인에서는 BMI, WHR과는 높은 정의상관을 보였다. 나이는 채식인에서는 중성지방과는 정의상관, 비채식인에서는 중성지방, 혈청 총 콜레스테롤, LDL-cholesterol, AI, 수축기 혈압과는 정의 상관을 보였다. 이상의 결과에서 볼 때 두군 모두 BMI, RBW, WHR, %BF가 높을수록 총콜레스테롤, LDL-cholesterol, AI, 수축기 혈압이 유의적으로 높아졌으며 BMI, WHR이 높을수록 HDL-cholesterol은 유의적으로 낮아졌다. 그러나 채식군은 비채식군에 비해 BMI, RBW, WHR, %BF가 유의적으로 높았음에도 불구하고 심혈관 질환 관련인자인 총콜레스테롤, LDL-cholesterol, AI, 수축기 혈압 및 혈당이 비채식군에 비해 유의적으로 낮게 나타났다. 한편 나이와의 상관에서도 비채식인은 나이와 중성지방, 총 콜레스테롤, LDL-cholesterol, AI등이 모두 정의 상관을 보였으나 채식군에서는 나이와 중성지방만이 정의 상관을 보였다. 따라서 채식을 하면 비만인 사람이라도 혈중 지질수준 및 혈당, 혈압이 낮아져서 심혈관 질환 및 고혈압, 당뇨병 등의 예방 치료에 효과적일 것으로 사료된다.

본 연구는 20대∼70대 사이의 채식인과 비채식인의 식생활의 차이가 연령증가에 따른 혈청지질농도, 혈당, 혈압의 변화에 미치는 영향을 분석하는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 본 연구에서 조사대상자의 식사형태 및 연령의 차이에 따른 비정상자 분포는 채식인과 비채식인의 혈중 중성지방은 각각 11.8%, 14.0%였고 혈청 총콜레스테롤은 각각 4.9%, 27.7%였고 LDL-cholesterol은 각각 2.4%, 19.2%였으며 HDL-cholesterol은 각각 5.7%, 4.6%였고 동맥경화지수는 각각 7.8%, 26.8%였다. 혈청 총콜레스테롤, LDL-cholesterol, 동맥경화지수의 비정상자 비율은 비채식인에서 유의적으로 높았으며(p<0.05) 혈청 총콜레스테롤과 LDL-cholesterol은 40-60대, 동맥 경화지수는 50∼60대의 비채식인이 유의적으로 높은 빈도를 나타내었다(p<0.05). 공복시 혈당의 비정상자비율은 각각 16.3%, 53.6%이었고 수축기혈압은 각각 2.9%, 17.4%였으며 혈당은 50∼70대, 수축기 혈압은 50∼60대의 비채식인에서 유의적으로 높은 빈도를 나타내었다(p<0.05). 혈청 총콜레스테롤에 영향을 미치는 요인으로는 채식인에서는 연령 , BMI, 수축기 혈압이었으며 약 22%정도 설명할 수 있는 것으로 나타났고 비채식인에서는 연령, BMI, 수축기혈압, 활동량이었으며 약 80%정도 설명할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. LDL-cholesterol에 영향을 미치는 요인으로는 채식인에서는 연령, BMI였고 약 18%정도 설명할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 비채식인에서는 연령, BMI, 수축기혈압, 활동량이었으며 약 82%정도 설명할 수 있는 것으로 나타났으며 비채식인은 혈청 총콜레스테롤, LDL-cholesterol에 영향을 미치는 인자들이 각각 80%, 82%를 설명하여 통계적으로 유의하였으나 채식인은 통계적으로 설명력이 부족한 것으로 나타났다. 이상과 같이 심혈관질환 관련 위험인자들의 비정상자의 분포를 관찰한 결과 연령이 증가함에 따라 비채식인은 채식인에 비해 혈청 총콜레스테롤, LDL-cholesterol, 동맥경화지수, 혈당, 혈압이 유의적으로 높아지는 것을 알 수 있었다(p<0.05). 본 연구의 결과를 미루어 볼 때 앞으로 더 많은 연구가 되어져야 할 것이지만 채식은 연령 증가에 따른 심혈관질환 위험인자의 수준을 낮추는데 효과가 있을 것으로 사료된다.

우리나라에도 심혈관 질환으로 인한 사망률이 점차 증가하고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 채식과 심혈관 질환과기 관계를 규명하기 위한 연구의 일환으로 채식을 하는 비구니스님을 대상으로 하여 연구한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 조사대상자의 평균나이는 채식인 44.20세, 비채식인 40.52세, BMI는 각각 22.47, 21.08이었고, WHR은 0.85, 0.84였고, %BF는 28.79, 26.55였으며, 활동량은 각각 507.8 kg/day, 400.0kg/day였고, 채식인의 평균채식기간은 13.16년이었다. 조사대상자의 총 콜레스테롤, LDL-콜레스테롤, AI, 이완기 혈압 및 혈당은 비채식인이 유의적으로(p<0.01) 높았고, HDL-콜레스테롤도 비채식인이 유의적으로(p<0.05) 높았으며 심 질환 예견지수인 HDL-콜레스테롤/총 콜레스테롤비는 채식인이 유의적으로(p<0.01) 높았다. 두군 모두 중성지방, 혈청 총 콜레스테롤, LDL-콜레스테롤, AI는 WHR, BMI,% BF, 활동량과는 유의적으로 높은 정의상관 관계를 보였다(p<0.05, p<0.01). HDL-콜레스테롤은 BMI, WHR과는 유의한 부의 상관관계를 보였다. 수축기 혈압은 BMI, WHR과는 높은 정의 상관관계를 보였다(p<0.01). 나이는 채식인에서 중성지방과는 정의 상관관계(p<0.05), 비채식인에서는 중성지방 혈청 총 콜레스테롤, LDL-콜레스테롤, AI, 수축기 혈압과는 정의 상관관계를 보였다. 두군 모두 연령 증가와 함께 중성지방, 혈청 총 콜레스테롤, LDL-콜레스테롤, AI, 수축기혈압은 유의적으로 높아졌고 채식인은 비채식인에 비해 유의적으로 낮았다(p<0.01). 이완기 혈압, 혈당은 뚜렷한 경향을 보이지 않았으나 연령증가에 따라 증가하였다. 중성지방, 혈청 총 콜레스테롤, LDL-콜레스테롤, AI, 수축기 혈압은 두군 모두 60대에 최고치를 나타내었고 70대에는 낮아지는 경향을 보였다. 따라서 혈청지질농도, 혈압은 연령 증가에 따라 유의하게 높아지고 채식인은 그 상승률이 비채식인에 비해 완만하게 증가하는 것으로 조사되었다. 이상의 결과에서 채식인은 심혈관 질환 관련인자인 혈청 총콜레스테롤, LDL-콜레스테롤, AI, 수축기혈압이 유의적으로 낮았다. 또한 나이가 듦에 따라 두군 모두 혈중지질 농도와 혈압이 높아지지만 채식군은 비채식군에 비해 상승률이 낮았다. 이로 미루어볼 때 채식은 가령과 함께 증가하는 심혈관 질환 관련인자의 상승률을 낮출 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 심혈관 질환의 예방과 치료에 효과가 있다고 볼 수 있다.

It has been suggested that dietary fat increases the risk of breast cancer by elevating serum estrogen concentrations. However, studies on a relationship between fat intake and breast cancer risk have shown contradictory results, possibly because the levels of fat intake in study populations were too high to observe differences. Also, the effect of other dietary factors may present. The present study was performed to investigate the relationship between diet and estrogen metabolism in premenopausal women whose usual fat intake is relatively low compared to their western counterparts. Twenty lacto-ovo vegetarians (LOV) and twenty omnivores participated in the study. Three day food records including a Saturday or a Sunday were used to estimate nutrient intake. Serum lipids, estradiol, sex-hormone binding globulin, and urinary estradiol were measured. Study results showed $24.8\%$ and $20.9\%$ of energy intake were provided from fat in omnivorous and LOV subjects, respectively. Serum and urinary levels of estradiol were two times higher in omnivores. Fat intake was not related to either serum estradiol nor urinary estradiol when the Spearman correlation coefficient analysis was performed. Carbohydrate, total dietary fiber and soluble dietary fiber intakes were negatively related to serum estradiol concentration. Legumes, vegetables and fruit consumption showed significantly negative relationships with both serum and urinary estradiol concentrations. These results indicate lower estrogen availability may be associated with plant food­based diets in premenopausal women whose usual diets contain less than $25\%$ of energy as fat.
