The major results were as follows: 1. Among 1,073 respondents, 13.8% of them were regular drinkers, 71.8% of them were social drinkers. the alcohol drinking rate of female students had significantly different depending on their field of study. The time of their first drind varied: 2. 14.8% in junior nigh school, 30.2% in high school, 4.7% after high school, and 49.4% in college. 3. The major motivation to start drinking was 'social meeting' (45.4%), 'curiosity' (12.6%), and 'releasing stress' (5.5%). 4. The favorite alcohol of drinkers was beer (62.2%), Soju (25.6%), whisky (1.4%), Makkori (0.2%). 5. The frequency of alcohol drinking was 36.5% once a week, 32.8% 2~3 times per month. 15.7% more than twice a week and 8.4% once a month. 6. Among the respondents, 73.4% of them wanted a health education program about drinking. 7. The drinking of the father, mother, brother, sister, boy friend, girl friend had a statistically significant relation with the drinking of the respondents. 8. Meal regularity, balanced diet, smoking, and knowledge of alcohol drinking had a statistically significant relation with the drinking of the respondents. 9. A multiple logistic regression analysis showed that related factors for alcohol drinking were the following: health status, balanced diet, father's drinking, sister's drinking, boy friend's drinking, and smoking.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine effects of school-based alcohol prevention programs on drinking statuses of adolescents. Methods: The findings of this study was based on the data obtained from the '2015 11th Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-based Survey. The number of study subjects were 68,043. Results: It was figured that 35.6% of the study subjects had experienced school-based alcohol prevention programs within the last 12 months. As the students got older, the chances to participate in the programs decreased (p<.01). For both middle and high school students, current drinking rates for the educated was lower than those of the uneducated students(6.6% vs 8.0%; 22.2% vs 25.9%) and it was statistically significant. A similar pattern was found for high-risk drinking rates. Those educated showed lower rates than the uneducated with statistical significance of p<.001. In addition, the educated had lower problem drinking rate than the uneducated for both middle (p<.05) and high school students (p<.001). The results of logistic regression analysis showed that school-based alcohol prevention programs had statistically significant effect on current drinking status of adolescents (p<.05). However, it had significant effect only on high-risk drinking status of high school students (p<.05) and had no effect on problem drinking. Conclusion: This study addressed effectiveness of school-based adolescent alcohol prevention programs and that it is important to develop means to implement school health education.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to provide baseline data for management policies by exploring the association between alcohol and mental health in menopause and andropause middle-aged Methods: This study used the data from from the 8th National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2019-2021). Adults between the ages of 40 and 64 were considered menopause and andropause middle-aged and 7,704 of the total number of 8,549 subjects were selected as the final study subjects without missing data. Mental health was defined as depression diagnosis and suicidal thoughts, and drinking was defined as current drinking and high-risk drinking. SAS 9.4 was used for all statistical analyses. Results: There were significant differences between menopause middle-aged men and women in current drinking (83.4% for men and 66.6% for women) and in high-risk drinking (24.2% for men and 4.9% for women). The significant factors affecting the depression diagnosis were identified as economic activity, income level, and subjective health status for men and economic activity, income level, subjective health status, and smoking for women (p < .05). The significant factors affecting suicidal ideation included economic activity, income level, and subjective health status for men and economic activity, high-risk drinking, current smoking, and subjective health status for women (p < .05). Conclusion: As a result of analyzing the association between alcohol and mental health in menopause and andropause middle-aged adults, Drinking alcohol and high-risk drinking in women were associated with mental health, but insignificantly in men. Based on this study, it is necessary to program development and health education for the physical and mental health of menopausal middle-aged women exposed to alcohol, and to develop menopausal mental health management policies that take into account the gender differences.

목 적 만성 알코올 환자의 정신과적 치료에 있어 금주는 가장 기본적이고 필수적인 요소이다. 여러 연구들은 알코올 섭취량과 심혈관계 위험도 사이에'J'자형 또는'U'자형의 관계를 보고하고 있다. 따라서 금주 치료가 심혈관계 위험도를 감소시킬 것으로 예상되나, 심혈관계 위험도와 밀접한 관련을 맺고 있는 혈청 지질에 대한 연구들은 다소 상반된 결과를 보고하고 있다. 본 연구는 만성 알코올 환자에서 단기간의 금주가 혈청 지질에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 알아보는 것이다. 방 법 저자들은 DSM-IV 진단기준에 따라 알코올 의존으로 진단되어 정신과 폐쇄병동에 입원한 28명의 남자 환자를 대상으로 1개월 간의 금주 치료 전후 혈청 지질농도를 비교하였다. 결 과 1개월간의 금주 후에 혈청 중성지방과 고밀도 지단백 농도가 저하되는 것으로 나타났다. 총콜레스테롤과 저밀도 지단백 농도는 통계적으로 유의미한 변화를 보이지 않았으나 각각 감소, 증가하는 경향성을 보였다. 결 론 금주 치료가 혈청 지질 상태를 개선시켜 심혈관계 위험도를 줄여줄 수 있을 것이라는 기대와는 달리, 1개월 간의 금주는 심혈관계 위험도와 음의 상관관계가 있는 고밀도 지단백의 농도를 감소시키는 결과를 보였다. 이는 기존의 몇몇 연구에서 보고된 바와 같이, 단기간의 금주는 오히려 일시적으로 심혈관계 위험도를 높일 우려가 있는 것으로, 알코올 의존 환자에 대한 금주 치료시 심혈관계 질환에 대한 주의가 필요함을 시사한다고 하겠다.

Purpose: Although smoking and alcohol consumption are known risk factors for gastric cancer (GC), studies assessing their effects on early-onset GC are limited. In this nationwide, population-based, prospective cohort study, we assessed the effects of smoking and alcohol consumption on early-onset GC in patients aged <50 years. Materials and Methods: We analyzed data of patients aged 20-39 years who underwent cancer and general health screening in the Korean National Health Screening Program between 2009 and 2012. We calculated the adjusted hazard ratios (aHR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for GC incidence until December 2020. Results: We enrolled 6,793,699 individuals (men:women=4,077,292:2,716,407) in this cohort. The mean duration of follow-up was 9.4 years. During follow-up, 9,893 cases of GC (men:women=6,304:3,589) were reported. Compared with the aHRs (95% CI) of never-smokers, those of former and current-smokers were 1.121 (1.044-1.205) and 1.282 (1.212-1.355), respectively. Compared with the aHRs (95% CI) of non-consumers, those of low-moderate- and high-risk alcohol consumers were 1.095 (1.046-1.146) and 1.212 (1.113-1.321), respectively. GC risk was the highest in current-smokers and high-risk alcohol consumers (1.447 [1.297-1.615]). Interestingly, alcohol consumption and smoking additively increased the GC risk in men but not in women (P_interaction=0.002). Conclusion: Smoking and alcohol consumption are significant risk factors for early-onset GC in young Koreans. Further studies are needed to investigate sex-based impact of alcohol consumption and smoking on GC incidence in young individuals.

Purpose: This study aimed to identify the alcohol drinking pattern of parents and to analyze drinking related factors in problem drinking among adolescent's parents. Method: This study was conducted through a structured questioning from November 5th to 22th in 2002. Those are 2,522 parents of the students of the 1st and 2nd grade who were selected randomly among 26 middle and high schools located in Socho-gu, Seoul. Data was analyzed using SAS program that included descriptive statistics, Chi-square test, and multiple logistic regression analysis. Result: 1. For frequency of drinking, 33.1％ of the subjects responded to drink two-four times a month, 26.0％ drink more than two times a week. 2. For the amount of drinking, 29.6％ drink one or two glasses while 9.4％ drink over ten glasses at a time. 3. The mean AUDIT score was 8.27 7.02(score of range: 0- 40). 4. Based on AUDIT score, drinkers with less than eight point from AUDIT(normal group) were 55.1％, from more than eight point to less than twelve point from AUDIT(problematic drinker) were 16.3％, and more than twelve point from AUDIT(alcohol abuse and dependency) were 28.6％. 5. Based on more than twelve point from AUDIT, female(mother), high school and, have religion, housekeeper were the significantly higher score than counter parts. Conclusion: Alcohol drinking pattern and level of drinking of their parents links to their children's drinking and results in family, social, and national loss. Active prevention is needed. Specially, pertinent education about drinking and public education for mothers who are housekeepers should be carried out with concentrated intervention programs for the problematic drinker so alcohol abuse and dependency can be reduced.

Objectives: The purpose of the study is to examine the behaviors by the degree od dry mouth related to stress, dry mouth and halitosis. Methods: The subjects were 400 adults. A self-reported questionnaire was completed from August 1 to November 30, 2014. The data were analyzed using SPSS 18.0 program. The questionnaire consisted of eight questions of general characteristics of the subjects, one question of subjective stress symptom, six questions of dry mouth symptom, four questions of dry mouth behavior, and one question of halitosis. Results: There was a significant difference between halitosis and stress in patients having systemic diseases. Stress had a significant difference with gender, income, drinking frequency and alcohol consumption. The degree of dry mouth had a significant difference with gender and age. In dry mouth severity, behavior showed a significant difference with age, education, and times and amount of alcohol consumption. Age had a positive correlation with cigarette consumption and a negative correlation with dry mouth and dry mouth behavior. Cigarette consumption showed a positive correlation with alcohol consumption. Drinking frequency had a positive correlation with alcohol consumption, dry mouth, dry mouth behavior, halitosis and stress. Alcohol consumption had a positive correlation with dry mouth behavior, and dry mouth showed a positive correlation with dry mouth behavior, halitosis and stress. Dry mouth behavior had a positive correlation with halitosis and stress, while halitosis showed a positive correlation with stress. Conclusions: Stress, dry mouth and halitosis were closely correlated. Since stress is the most important variable, stress relief will be the most effective measure to alleviate oral symptoms. Therefore, stress relief measures need to be devised for oral health management in adults having stressful life.
