Objectives: This study aimed to identify and assess the factors related to the awareness, treatment, and control of hypertension based on jurisdictional areas of primary health care posts in a rural community of Korea. Methods: This study was performed on 4598 adults aged over 30 years in a rural community and we measured their blood pressure (BP) from October. 2007 to August. 2009. Hypertension is defined as a condition characterized by a systolic BP ${\geq}$ 140 mmHg, a diastolic BP ${\geq}$ 90 mmHg or reported treatment with antihypertensive medications. We analyzed the factors related with the prevalence, awareness, treatment and control of hypertension using chi-square test and multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results: The age-adjusted prevalence of hypertension was 34.7%. The age-adjusted rates of hypertension awareness, treatment and control were 50.6%, 93.9% and 64.1%, respectively. Awareness of hypertension was related with increasing age. Higher awareness was found among men who were felt more stress, were obese and had hypercholesterolemia, and among women who were regulary taking medicine for hypertension, were obese and had diabetes mellitus. In women, the hypertension treatment was related a Medical aid and education for hypertension management. Controlled hypertension was more common among men who were educated about the management of hypertension and among women who had hypercholesterolemia. Conclusions: The awareness of hypertension was low and the control of hypertension was high compared with the nationwide data (KNHANES 2005). The results suggest that understanding the characteristics of hypertension in a community is important to perform a community based hypertension control program.

Background: This study was conducted to analyze the influence of socioeconomic characteristics of community on the food insecurity under the control of personal socioeconomic factors which may be influence to the food security. Methods: Food insecurity and individual socioeconomic characteristics were obtained from 2012 community health survey. Socioeconomic characteristics of communities were extracted from the data of Statistics Korea and local governments. Personal socioeconomic factors were sex, age, educational status, job, and monthly family income. Socioeconomic characteristics of communities were administrative district (urban vs. rural), senior population rate, degree of financial self reliance, degree of financial independence, portion of welfare budget, number of welfare facilities, and unemployment rate. We analysed the relationships between the food insecurity and socioeconomic characteristics of community using multi-level analysis under the control of personal characteristics. Results: On personal level age, sex, education status, and monthly family income were related with food insecurity. On community level administrative district (urban vs. rural), degree of financial independence, unemployment rate, and proportion of welfare budget among local general government accounts were related to individual food insecurity. Rural area, district with low levels of financial independence, low portion of welfare budget, and greater unemployment rate showed a higher level of food insecurity. Conclusion: To reduce the level of food insecurity in a community it is necessary to decrease the unemployment rate, in addition to providing support from the central government by increasing the proportion of the welfare budget so that both factors contribute to raising the degree of financial independence.

이 연구는 강원도 건강플러스 마을사업이 건강주민운동으로의 발전 과정과 강원도 건강플러스 마을사업의 시기별 특징을 분석하고 건강주민운동으로 발전할 수 있었던 요인을 도출하기 위하여 주민, 보건소 담당자, 트레이너들에 대한 심층 면담으로 자료를 수집하여 주제분석 방법으로 질적 연구를 수행하였다. 연구 결과, 강원도 건강플러스 마을사업이 건강주민운동으로 발전할 수 있었던 요인은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 주민 스스로 할 수 있다고 믿었다. 둘째, 이·통장이 아닌 일반 주민을 만났다. 셋째, 주민이 말하게 하는 교육과 긍정적 평가를 시행하였다. 넷째, 주민이 하고 싶은 사업에서 시작했다. 다섯째, 주민이 행동할 때까지 기다렸다. 여섯째, 기다린다는 것은 방관이 아니라 지속적인 동화 과정이다. 일곱째, 단기적 성과를 요구하지 않았다. 주민참여형 건강증진사업이 건강주민운동으로 나아가기 위해서는 이 연구에서 도출된 발전요인을 참고한다면 도움이 될 것으로 생각된다.
