The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of family mealtime and family functioning (family cohesion, family adaptability, and communication with father and mother) on early adolescent school adaptation. Data of 3,145 middle school students from the Survey on the Family Values and Lives among Adolescents(2010) conducted by National Youth Policy Institute(NYPI) were used. The findings are as follows. First, there were significant differences in the frequency of having breakfast and dinner with father and having breakfast with mother, family cohesion, and communication with father according to gender. Second, hierarchical linear regression analyses revealed that household economic status, mother's employment status and adolescents' gender among demographic characteristics, having breakfast with father and having dinner with mother in family mealtime frequency, and all the variables of family functioning predicted adolescents' school adaptation. Finally, economic status, having dinner with mother, family cohesion, and communication with father and mother were associated with adolescents' school adaptation for both boys and girls. Mother's education and having breakfast with father were found to be significant for only boys, while mother's employment status and family adaptability were found to be significant for only girls. These findings could provide grounds for making family and education policy.

This study was conducted to investigate the differences in food habits, eating behaviors and food frequency by gender and regions in upper grade elementary school children in Korea. Subjects of this study were 1,211 children, 645 boys and 566 girls, attending 6 elementary schools (4th, 5th and 6th graders). 389 children lived in Seoul and 822 children lived in other regions. Mean height, weight and BMI of subjects were 142.4 cm, 38.7 kg and $18.8\;kg/m^2$ respectively. 70.5% of the subjects had breakfast every day and 12.4% of the subjects skipped breakfast. There were significant differences between boys and girls in causes of skipping breakfast, overeating, meal volume, and duration of meals. Girls showed more desirable eating behavior than boys (p < 0.001). Scores for specific eating behaviors such as unbalanced diet and intake of meats and vegetables were better in girls (p < 0.001), and boys ate meals faster than girls (p > 0.001). There were significant differences between Seoul and other regions in eating behavior. Eating behavior scores of children in other regions were higher than in Seoul (p < 0.01). Children in Seoul had a higher frequency of watching television with meals. Frequency of fruits (p < 0.001), milk products (p < 0.01), and meats (p < 0.05) of children in Seoul were higher than other regions. Otherwise the frequency of simple sugar products of children in other regions was higher than Seoul (p < 0.001). Frequency of green vegetables was higher for girls than boys, and frequency of fast foods was higher for boys than girls. These results showed that in nutrition education programs designed to improve the nutritional health of elementary school children, we need to focus more on differences in the children's food habits and eating behaviors by gender and regions. In consideration of these differences, such educational programs need to have a different emphasis for each gender and regions to serve its specific needs.

Background According to the Sasang constitutional medicine, eating habits according to the characteristics of Sasang Constitution (SC) types affect management of chronic diseases and health conditions. The aim of this study is to identify the association between eating habits, such as breakfast, eating frequency, and energy intake, according to SC, and quality of life. Method This study is a cross-sectional study of people aged 33 to 55 years, sampled by stratification based on population distribution. The SC types were classified into Taeeumin (TE), Soeumin (SE), and Soyangin (SY) using a structured questionnaire (KS-15). Items examined regarding eating habits were whether the subjects had breakfast; the frequency of eating such as breakfast, lunch, dinner, and after-dinner snacks; and energy intake surveyed using a food frequency questionnaire. As for quality of life, SF-12, which is widely used worldwide to assess health conditions, was utilized. A regression analysis was conducted on the relations between eating habits according to SC and quality of life. Results The SC distribution of the 3,895 subjects was 47% for TE, 22% for SE, and 31% for SY. The scores indicating quality of life differed for TE and SY depending on whether they ate breakfast and eating frequency groups, and those of SE varied depending on levels of energy intake. A regression analysis having adjusted all covariates demonstrated for TE a positive relation between the eating frequency of three times per day or more (compared to 1.5 to 3 meals per day) and quality of life (B=1.365, p<0.001). For SE, there was a negative association between low energy intake (compared to adequate energy intake) and quality of life (B=-1.642, p=0.004). Meanwhile, no relation was found between eating habits and quality of life for SY. Conclusion This study identified the association between eating habits according to SC types and quality of life. For TE, it was found to be important to eat evenly dispersed adequate amounts as opposed to overeating or binging at once. For SE, adequate energy intake affected good quality of life. This study suggests that eating habits based on SC improve quality of life, and health management customized for each constitution should be performed in the future through proper eating habits.

This study was conducted to explore socio-demographic influences on eating behaviors among adolescents in Korea. Data were obtained from the Eleventh Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-based Survey (2015 KYRBS), a nationwide representative sample of 3,532,149 middle and high school students. The data were analyzed by descriptive analysis, t-test, and logistic regression based on complex sample design using SPSS 20.0 statistics. The results showed that intake frequency of soda, fast food, and instant noodles was higher in male than female students (P<0.001). Additionally, the frequency of eating breakfast, fruits, vegetables, and milk was higher among high school students than middle school students (P<0.001). Higher levels of economic status were associated with less skipping breakfast. Adolescents with mothers that had higher levels of education were more likely to be frequent consumers of fruits, vegetables, and milk, and to eat breakfast.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate nutrient intake and meal variety with breakfast eating in Korean adolescents using data from the 2008-2009 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. The analysis included 1245 adolescents aged 12 to 18 years. The subjects were divided into two groups according to breakfast skipping (BS: breakfast skipping, n = 235, BE: breakfast eating, n = 1110). The BS group was significantly higher in its frequency of eating soda drinks, instant noodle, and ice cream than the BE group. The BS group consumed significantly lower quantities of plant calcium and plant protein per 1,000 kcal compared to the BE group. Also the intake of cereal and vegetables in the BS group was significantly lower than those in the BE group, however, the intake of beverage in the BS group was significantly higher than that in the BE group. The average number of foods of the BE and BS groups were 29.50 and 25.85, respectively and revealed a statistical significance (p < 0.0001). The snack intake and % energy from snack intake of the BS group were significantly higher than those of the BE group. Also, the fasting blood glucose concentrations were significantly higher in the BS group compared to the BE group. In conclusion, adolescents who skip breakfast may have lower meal variety and higher blood glucose concentrations. Therefore, in support of proper dietary management, it is necessary to promote and encourage breakfast eating.

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between meal regularity (i.e. breakfast intake and meal-times), and the risk of metabolic syndrome (MetS) among generally healthy Korean single-person household adults (≤60 years, n=594) based on the Seventh Korean National Health Examination and Nutrition Survey (KNHANES) (2016~2018). Among men (n=325), the breakfast intake frequency was not significantly associated with the pervalence of MetS. However, men consuming a regular meal at least once a day showed a lower prevalence of MetS compared to those whose meals were irregular. These patterns remained after adjusting for age, smoking and drinking habits, individual income, education level, exercise, and total calorie intake. An association between meal regularity and MetS risk was observed in post-menopausal women (n=84), but not in pre-menopausal women (n=185). More specifically post-menopausal women with irregular breakfast eating habits or eating no breakfast at all showed a significantly higher risk of MetS than those eating breakfast regularly after the adjustment. The analysis revealed an odds ratio (OR) of 8.46, confidence intervals (CIs): 1.149~62.199, P<0.05 in irregular breakfast eaters, and an OR of 13.377, CIs: 1.665~107.511, P<0.05, in those who ate no breakfast. Furthermore, post-menopausal women who had irregular meals daily showed a higher risk of MetS than those consuming one or more regular meals/day after the adjustment (OR: 16.888, CIs: 1.258~226.655, P<0.05). In conclusion, the results from this study may be used for formulating optimal dietary guidelines for the prevention and the management of MetS in adults in single-person households.

The purpose of this study was to examine the dietary behaviors, processed food preferences, and awareness levels of nutrition labels among female university students living in middle region by breakfast eating. A total of 243 students (breakfast eating group: 153, breakfast skipping group: 90) were surveyed from April to May of 2011. The results are summarized as follows: Skipping breakfast (SB) group had a significantly higher frequency of skipping lunch and dinner compared with the eating breakfast (EB) group (P<0.05, P<0.01, respectively). In the EB group, food labels were identified sometimes (31.8%), frequently (29.1%), and rarely (28.5%). In the SB group, food labels were identified rarely (33.3%), sometimes (27.8%), and frequently (26.7%). The EB group used food labels for comparing price and weight of products more frequently than the SB group (P<0.05). In the EB group, nutrition labels were identified sometimes (38.0%), frequently (28.1%), and rarely (24.8%). In the SB group, nutrition labels were identified rarely (32.6%), sometimes (30.3%), and frequently (21.4%). The EB group used food labels for identifying nutrient contents more often and for weight control more less than the SB group (P<0.05, P<0.05, respectively). The main reason for not identifying nutrition label of the processed foods was 'not being interested (55.5%)' in the SB group (P<0.05). Therefore, education programs that emphasize the importance of eating breakfast, and reading food and nutrition labels need to be developed for university students.

The purpose of this study was to study the relationship between the prevalence of constipation and beverage intake. Research data were collected from first and second grade female students at Hyehwa High School in Seoul by means of questionnaires. A total of 190 questionnaires were analyzed using the SPSS/WIN program. The results are summarized as follows: The average body mass index (BMI) was 20.7. Of the students, 38.4% had a BMI of less than 20(underweight), and 15.8% had a BMI of over 23 (overweight). However, 84.7% of the students wanted to lose weight. To estimate the prevalence of constipation, five factors were used: frequency and regularity of defecation, time spent defecating, defecation difficulty, and feeling of residue after defecation. The percentage of the students who emptied their bowels every day was 22.1%. About 2/5 of the students (42.1%) had irregular defecation, and 15.2% spent more than 10 minutes in the rest room when defecating. The students who did not have difficulty defecating and those who did not have feelings of residue after defecating were only 24.7% and 28.9%, respectively. The amount of beverage intake per day was 1,062$m\ell$ 674$m\ell$ of water, 128$m\ell$ of milk, 88$m\ell$ of soft drinks, and 53$m\ell$ of fruit juice. The amount of beverage intake before breakfast, during breakfast, before lunch and during lunch was about 100 $m\ell$, each; before dinner, during dinner, and after dinner it was about 200$m\ell$, each. The amount of beverage intake during the weekend was 120$m\ell$ greater than on weekdays. Students who drank more beverages, especially water, before breakfast, showed a higher defecation frequency, more regular defecation, spent less time defecating, had less difficulty defecating, and had less feeling of residue after defecation, so that they have a better defecation pattern. Based on these results, increasing the amount of beverage consumption, especially of water, and drinking greater quantities of beverage before breakfast are ways to reduce constipation.

본 연구는 춘천지역 일부 여대생 253명을 대상으로 아침식사 빈도에 따른 신체질량지수(body mass index, BMI), 식행동 및 영양소 섭취상태를 알아보고자 하였다. 본 연구에서는 아침식사를 주 5회 이상 섭취군과 4회 이하 섭취군으로 분류하였으며, 그 결과 아침 5회 이상 섭취군이 54.9%, 4회 이하 섭취군이 45.1%로 나타났다. 거주형태는 학교 주변에서 자취, 하숙하는 학생들이 가장 많았으며, 아침 5회 이상 섭취군은 부모님과 함께 생활하는 경우가 높게 나타났고, 4회 이하 섭취군은 자취, 하숙하는 경우가 높게 나타나면서 부모님과 함께 생활할수록 아침식사 빈도가 높고 혼자 생활할수록 아침식사를 하지 않거나 아침식사 빈도가 낮은 것을 알 수 있었다. 자신의 체형만족도는 아침 5회 이상 섭취군이 4회 이하 섭취군에 비해 자신의 체형만족도가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 아침 5회 이상 섭취군의 신장, 체중 및 BMI는 각각 $161.0{\pm}0.1cm$, $52.6{\pm}7.6kg$, $19.8{\pm}1.9kg/m^2$ 였으며, 4회 이하 섭취군은 각각 $160.7{\pm}0.1cm$, $57.1{\pm}11.8kg$, $21.5{\pm}3.4kg/m^2$로 나타났는데, 체중과 BMI에서 유의적인 차이를 나타내었다. BMI 분포를 보면 아침 5회 이상 섭취군은 저체중이 15.8%, 정상체중이 59.0%, 과체중이 15.8%, 비만이 9.4%였으며, 4회 이하 섭취군은 저체중이 13.2%, 정상체중이 43.8%, 과체중이 28.1%, 비만이 14.9%로 나타났다. 식행동 점수는 아침 5회 이상 섭취군이 4회 이하 섭취군보다 높게 나타나 규칙적인 식사패턴을 보였으며 '우유나 유제품을 매일 1잔 이상 마신다', '과일이나 과일주스를 매일 먹는다', '하루 세끼 규칙적으로 식사한다' 문항에서 유의적인 차이를 보였다. 영양소 섭취상태를 알아본 결과 1일 평균 에너지는 아침 5회 이상 섭취군이 1,545.8 kcal, 4회 이하 섭취군이 1,378.2 kcal로 나타났고, 탄수화물과 단백질은 아침 5회 이상 섭취군이 각각 218.8 g과 56.1 g, 4회 이하 섭취군이 188.1 g과 49.7 g으로 5회 이상 섭취군이 유의적으로 높게 섭취하였다. 또한, 비타민 A, 비타민 $B_1$, 비타민 $B_2$, 나이아신, 비타민 $B_6$, 인, 아연과 콜레스테롤 섭취량도 아침 5회 이상 섭취군이 4회 이하 섭취군에 비해 유의적으로 높게 나타났다. 에너지 필요추정량(EER)과 영양소의 권장섭취량(RNI)을 살펴보면 EER은 아침 4회 이하 섭취군(65.6%)이 5회 이상 섭취군(73.7%)에 비해 낮은 섭취율을 보였고, 비타민과 무기질에서는 조사대상자들이 비타민 $B_1$, 비타민 E, 인과 나트륨을 제외한 모든 영양소를 부족하게 섭취하고 있었다. 이 중 권장섭취량의 80% 이하로 섭취하는 영양소를 알아본 결과 아침 5회 이상 섭취군은 비타민 C, 엽산, 칼슘과 철이었으며, 4회 이하 섭취군은 비타민 A, 비타민 $B_2$, 나이아신, 비타민 $B_6$, 비타민 C, 엽산, 칼슘과 철로 나타나 아침식사의 빈도가 낮을수록 전체 식사에서의 영양소 섭취가 부족함을 알 수 있었다. 조사대상자의 에너지 섭취량에 대한 탄수화물, 단백질, 지방의 섭취비율은 56.4:14.6:27.7로 나타났으며, 아침식사 빈도에 따른 유의적인 차이는 나타나지 않았다. 또한, 아침식사 빈도와 상관관계가 있는 변인을 알아보기 위하여 다중회귀분석을 실시한 결과 거주상태가 가장 중요한 변인으로 작용하였다. 이상의 결과로부터 여대생들의 높은 아침결식률이 전체 식사의 영양소 섭취에도 영향을 미쳐 여대생들에게 아침식사의 중요성을 강조함과 동시에 아침식사 섭취를 통한 에너지 및 대부분의 영양소 섭취량을 증가시켜 다양하고 적절한 식사를 가능하게 해야 할 것이다. 한편 특정 영양소, 칼슘, 비타민 C와 철분 결핍의 우려가 심각해 이들 영양소들은 기존 식사에서의 섭취량을 양적으로 증가시키는 것과 동시에 질적으로 우수한 우유, 멸치, 녹색 채소류(브로콜리, 케일, 청경채 등), 과일, 육류 및 생선 등의 섭취를 유도하여 여대생들의 영양 상태 개선을 위한 꾸준한 노력도 필요할 것으로 보인다. 또한, 아침결식 문제를 해결하기 위한 방안으로 비자택 거주자들의 식생활 교육 강화 및 거주상태가 고려된 연구의 필요성을 제기하는 바이다.
