본 연구는 중년 성인을 대상으로 식사 패턴을 파악하고, 식사 패턴에 따른 영양소 섭취실태와 대사증후군 위험요인의 관련성을 분석하고자 하였으며 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 1) 식품군별 평균 섭취량을 이용한 요인분석을 통해 육류, 주류, 난류, 유지류 등의 섭취가 두드러진 '육류와 술', 주식으로 잡곡류를 섭취하고 과일과 채소 등을 섭취하는 '잡곡과 채소 및 과일', 주식으로 백미를 위주로 하고 김치와 어패류를 섭취하는 '백미와 김치 및 어패류' 패턴이 분리되었다. 2) '육류와 술' 패턴의 요인점수가 높아질수록 신장, 체중, 허리둘레, 체질량지수가 증가하였고, 연령은 낮아지는 경향을 나타낸 반면 '잡곡과 채소 및 과일' 패턴은 반대의 경향을 나타내었다. '육류와 술' 패턴의 경우 남자, '잡곡과 채소 및 과일' 패턴의 경우 여자의 비율이 높았고, '백미와 김치 및 어패류' 패턴의 경우 교육수준이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 3) 식사 요인점수의 사분위에 따른 영양소 섭취량은 '육류와 술' 패턴의 식사를 할수록 에너지, 단백질, 나트륨의 섭취가 증가하였고, '잡곡과 채소 및 과일' 패턴의 식사를 할수록 탄수화물, 칼륨, 칼슘과 식이섬유의 섭취가 증가하였으며, '백미와 김치 및 어패류' 패턴의 식사를 할수록 에너지와 지질의 섭취가 증가하였고, 탄수화물, 칼륨과 식이섬유의 섭취가 감소하였다. 4) 식사 패턴과 영양소 섭취와의 상관관계에서 '육류와 술' 패턴의 경우 보정 후 단백질과 나트륨의 섭취가 양의 상관관계였으나, 탄수화물, 식이섬유, 칼슘, 칼륨 등의 섭취는 음의 상관관계였고, '잡곡과 채소 및 과일' 패턴의 경우 단백질, 지질, 나트륨과 티아민을 제외한 모든 영양소와 양의 상관관계를 나타내었다. 또한 '백미와 김치 및 어패류' 패턴과 지질의 섭취는 양의 상관관계였고, 탄수화물, 식이섬유, 칼륨 등의 무기질과 음의 상관관계를 나타내었다. 5) 식사 요인점수의 사분위에 따른 대사증후군의 위험도는 '육류와 술' 패턴의 식사를 할수록 복부비만과 대사증후군에 대한 위험도가 높아졌고, '잡곡과 채소 및 과일' 패턴의 식사를 할수록 고중성지방혈증에 대한 위험도가 낮아지는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과로부터 식사 패턴과 대사증후군 위험요인간에 관련성이 있는 것으로 나타나 육류와 술의 섭취를 줄이고, 잡곡을 위주로 채소와 과일 등을 추가한 균형 잡힌 건강식을 섭취하는 것이 대사증후군의 예방 및 관리를 위해 권장될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Metabolic syndrome (METS) is a disorder of energy utilization and storage and increases the risk of developing cardiovascular disease and diabetes. To identify the genetic risk factors of METS, we carried out a genome-wide association study (GWAS) for 2,657 cases and 5,917 controls in Korean populations. As a result, we could identify 2 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with genome-wide significance level p-values (< $5{\times}10^{-8}$), 8 SNPs with genome-wide suggestive p-values ($5{\times}10^{-8}{\leq}$ p < $1{\times}10^{-5}$), and 2 SNPs of more functional variants with borderline p-values ($5{\times}10^{-5}{\leq}$ p < $1{\times}10^{-4}$). On the other hand, the multiple correction criteria of conventional GWASs exclude false-positive loci, but simultaneously, they discard many true-positive loci. To reconsider the discarded true-positive loci, we attempted to include the functional variants (nonsynonymous SNPs [nsSNPs] and expression quantitative trait loci [eQTL]) among the top 5,000 SNPs based on the proportion of phenotypic variance explained by genotypic variance. In total, 159 eQTLs and 18 nsSNPs were presented in the top 5,000 SNPs. Although they should be replicated in other independent populations, 6 eQTLs and 2 nsSNP loci were located in the molecular pathways of LPL, APOA5, and CHRM2, which were the significant or suggestive loci in the METS GWAS. Conclusively, our approach using the conventional GWAS, reconsidering functional variants and pathway-based interpretation, suggests a useful method to understand the GWAS results of complex traits and can be expanded in other genomewide association studies.

This study was conducted to assess blood components caused by metabolic syndrome increasing in postmenopausal elderly women. The blood samples of these subjects were analyzed to investigate the correlation of plasma taurine levels and plasma homocysteine levels, and serum lipid profiles. The subjects were 33 elderly women($72.8{\pm}4.4$ years). Their mean height, weight and BMI were $150.5{\pm}5.7\;cm$, $57.5{\pm}6.3\;kg$ and $25.4{\pm}2.5\;kg/m^2$. 16 women of this study subjects have been chronic diseases such as hypertension or diabetes. Their fasting blood glucose was $98.2{\pm}24.0\;mg/d{\ell}$, and their plasma total cholesterol (TC), HDL-C, LDL-C, triglyceride(TG) were $216.5{\pm}29.9$, $52.1{\pm}10.7$, $145.7{\pm}27.9$ and $141.2{\pm}59.6\;mg/d{\ell}$, respectively. Their blood lipid profiles were higher than the standard levels of metabolic syndrome, thus these levels of lipid profiles may play a role as risk factors on the elderly person. Plasma taurine level of the subjects was $278.5{\pm}48.1\;{\mu}mol/{\ell}$, and their plasma homocysteine level was $12.8{\pm}2.9\;{\mu}mol/{\ell}$. The concentration of plasma vitamin $B_{12}$ was significantly decreased by aging(p<0.05). The correlation of plasma homocysteine and plasma folate showed significantly negative(p<0.05). Thus, the decreased levels of plasma vitamin $B_{12}$ and folate by aging might affect on the plasma homocyteine concentration acting as a risk factor of cardiovascular diseases for elderly person. The correlation of plasma taurine and hemoglobin, and their platelet showed significantly positive(p<0.05). In conclusion, the diet on the elderly person is one of the important factors to prevent their health from chronic diseases. This study recommends that well balanced diets are needed for elderly person to keep their health and prevent from metabolic syndrome.

Background: Metabolic syndrome (MS) is a cluster of complicated disorders caused by the interactive influencing factors of heredity and environment, which predisposes to many cnacers. Results from epidemic research indicate that stress is tightly related to the pathogenesis of MS and neoplasia. This paper aims to investigate the association between psychological stress and MS with respect to the tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF${\alpha}$) and neuropeptide Y (NPY) genes in the Han and Hui ethnic groups. Methods: All subjects for this case-control study matched strict enrollment criteria (nationality, gender and age) and lived in the city of Wu Zhong of Ningxia Province in China. The enrolled group contained 102 matched pairs of Hui ethnic individuals and 98 matched pairs of Han ethnic individuals. Enrolled subjects completed the general Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90). The TNF${\alpha}$-308G/A variant and NPYrs16147 polymorphism were detected in case (81 males, 119 females) and control (81 males, 119 females) groups by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification. Results: Nine factors of the SCL-90 were found to be statistically different (p<0.05) between case and control groups. The homozygous mutant genotype (AA) and the mutant allele (A) of the TNF${\alpha}$-308G/A gene were less frequently observed in the control population compared to the case group. The odds ratio (95% confidence interval) in "Allele" for MS was 2.28 (1.47-3.53), p=0.0001, while "OR" was 1.11 (0.83-1.47), p=0.15, for the NPYrs16147 gene polymorphism. Conclusions: Psychological stress has been positively associated with MS. A previous study from our group suggested there were differences in the level of psychological stress between Hui and Han ethnic groups. Furthermore, we found that the stress-related TNF${\alpha}$ gene was associated with MS for both Han and Hui ethnic groups. In contrast, NPY may be a possible contributor to MS and associated cancer for the Han ethnic group.

Background: Smoking effects are relatively well-documented, especially on cancers and cardiovascular diseases. However, the direction and magnitude of association between smoking and obesity remain unclear. Conflicting results so far are thought to stem from the multiple confounding structure of smoking and other obesogenic life style characteristics. Methods: Cotwin control study is a genomic epidemiology design, in which the other twin (=cotwin) serves as a control of the twin. Cotwin control study, discordant for smoking habits can provide powerful evidence of association between smoking and obesity by completely matching genomic information, intrauterine environment, and almost all environmental factors. We selected 3,697 like-sex twin pairs (2,762 male and 935 female pairs) out of 63,666 pairs of adult twins in the existing Korea Twin and Family Register, whose smoking habits are discordant. We used the information of obesity as body mass index (BMI, $kg/m^2$) blood pressure, and blood cholesterol level at the time or later than the smoking information. Paired t-test was done to compare the smoking effects. Results: Lifetime smoking rate was 80.1 % (47.9 current smoker) for men and 10% (1.7% current smoker) for women. Among 2,762 and 935 male and female like-sex twin pairs, 363 male pairs and 20 female pairs correspond to the definition of smoker-nonsmoker pair. The male smokers demonstrated increase in BMI by 0.47, while female smokers show slight decrease (by 0.13), which were not statistically significant. Diastolic and systolic blood pressure, and cholesterol level were slightly increased among smokers by 1.85 mmHg, 0.62 mmHg, and 1.28 mg/dl for men. For women, the results show increase in diastolic blood pressure (3.42mmHg) and cholesterol level (1.25 mg/dl), and systolic pressure (8.17 mmHg). Conclusion: The results refute the possibility that smoking can reduce BMI. Considering the direct adverse effect of smoking, it should be emphasized that smoking do not decrease obesity and thus increase overall metabolic syndrome.

This study examined how achievement of session goals contributes to outcomes of subjects after participation in a 12-week lifestyle intervention program in men with metabolic syndrome (MetS). Thirty office workers with MetS, aged $47.2{\pm}6.6$ years, participated in this study, from March to July, 2011. The intervention program included face-to-face counseling five times during the 12-week period. Counselors and subjects designed session goals for each round. The average of the goal achievement rate was calculated based on compliance for each round. The subjects were divided into three groups according to their tertiles of achievement rate: Low-compliance group (LC, < 59%), medium-compliance group (MC, 59-70%), and high-compliance group (HC, > 70%). Anthropometry, biochemical index, and nutrient intake were examined at baseline and at the end of the 12-week intervention program. After the intervention, diastolic blood pressure (DBP) showed a significant decrease in the LC group, and waist circumference (WC) showed a significant decrease in the MC group. Systolic blood pressure (SBP), DBP, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL) showed a significant decrease in the HI group. Changes in SBP and DBP were significantly lower in the HC group than in the MC group (p < 0.05, p < 0.01). Changes in LDL were significantly lower in the HC group than in the MC group (p < 0.05). Results for intake of total energy, protein, fat, and sodium, as well as rates of carbohydrate and fat intake, showed a significant decrease in all participants (p < 0.05). The change in fiber was significantly higher in the HC group than in the MC group (p < 0.05). The change of fruit serving size showed a significant increase in the HC group (p < 0.01). The number of risk factors for MetS showed a significant decrease in the LC and HC groups (p < 0.05), however, no significant mean differences were observed among the three groups. In conclusion, participation in this intervention program resulted in positive effects on risk factors for MetS, nutrient intake, and dietary habits, especially in the High-compliance group.

연구목적 본 연구는 대사증후군의 예방과 회복을 위해 5년 동안 추적이 가능한 만성 조현병 환자에서 대사증후군의 변화와 예측인자를 조사하였다. 방 법 2011년부터 2016년까지 추적이 가능하며 동의서에 동의한 107명의 환자가 본 연구에 포함되었다. Revised National Cholesterol Education Program-Adult Treatment Panel III(NCEP-ATP III)를 이용하여 대사증후군을 정의하였다. 결 과 추적 관찰 기간 동안 22명(20.5%)의 환자가 새롭게 대사증후군에 진단되었고 14명(13.1%)는 대사증후군에서 회복되었다. 77명(66.4%)은 변화가 없었다(대사증후군이 있는 환자:34명[31.8%], 대사증후군이 없는 환자 : 37명[34.6%]). 복부둘레와 중성 지방이 대사증후군의 유무가 변화된 환자들에서 중요한 인자였다. 다른 변수를 통제한 다변량 회귀분석에서 여성(OR=2.846, 95% C.I. 1.020-7.942), 1달에 1회 이상 외래 방문(OR=3.155, 95% C.I. 1.188-8.379), 항우울제 병합치료(OR=3.991, 95% C.I. 1.048-15.205)가 대사증후군의 유병률에 유의한 영향을 주었다. 반면에 항정신병 약물의 종류나 용량은 대사증후군의 유병률에 영향을 주지 못했다. 결 론 만성 조현병 환자에서 약제의 변경 및 용량조절보다 증상에서의 회복과 건강한 생활 습관이 대사증후군에 중요하다.
