This study was designed to investigate the impact of a 12-week nutrition education program on 32 male industrial workers (average age: $44.5{\pm}3.8$ yrs, work duration period: $20.1{\pm}5.6$ yrs) diagnosed as having dyslipidemia in a medical checkup at their workplace. This program was implemented with a conceptual framework on strengthening self-efficacy for the improvement of the health conditions of the workers. Most of all, the study exhibited benefits in the industrial workers by ameliorating the risk factors associated with dyslipidemia via changes in dietary behaviors, nutritional knowledge, and attitudes, as well as anthropometric and biochemical parameters. After the nutrition education, overall lifestyle, including the ratios of smoking (P<0.05) and drinking (P<0.01), significantly improved. Exactly 65.6% of the subjects reported that their dietary habits changed. Body weight, BMI, percentage of body fat, and waist circumference all significantly decreased (P<0.001). The systolic (P<0.01) as well as diastolic blood pressures (P<0.001) decreased. Moreover, the degree of increase in serum HDL-cholesterol was appreciable (P<0.001), and the atherogenic index also decreased (P<0.01). Further, risk factors related to metabolic syndrome in subjects significantly decreased (P<0.001). The average scores for nutrition knowledge increased from 9.3 to 17.7 points (P<0.001). All of the participants agreed on the need for a nutrition education program at their workplace. Further, it should be pointed out that the participants strongly indicated the need for continuing nutrition intervention.

Dietary counseling is undoubtedly important for prevention and treatment of chronic diseases. Several dietary counseling methods have been developed and used in Japan to promote healthier diets. However, in Japan, few studies have established effective counseling methods. We developed a computer-assisted tailored dietary counseling system with self-administered diet history questionnaire (DHQ) to assess nutrient intakes and the feedbacks for counseling. We examined the effectiveness of the system in three studies , two among mildly-hypercholesterolemic and one among healthy subjects. We observed significant changes in intakes of targeted nutrients in all three studies. We also observed favorable changes in the corresponding serum and urinary biomarkers in two studies, i.e., non-significant change in serum cholesterol, serum carotene and vitamin C, and a significant change in 24-hour urinary excretion of sodium. In addition, one of the studies observed a significant modified dietary habit for one-year after the intervention was completed. No unfavorable change was observed for non-targeted nutrients in all three studies. The dietary counseling system with DHQ was concluded to be effective among motivated high-risk and healthy subjects. The system's application to other diseases and populations such as children, adolescents, and elderly, should be examined further. (J Community Nutrition 5(2) : 112-119, 2003)

The purpose of this study was to investigate the nutrition and diet related knowledge, attitude, and behavior of elementary school children in Seoul. The subjects included were 439 (male 236, female 203) elementary school children in the 4th to the 6th grades, The statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS 12.0 program. The average obesity index (OI) was 104.98 and 99.82 for male and female subjects, respectively. The average percentage of underweight, normal, overweight and obese of subjects was 33.7%, 32.8%, 12.3%, and 19.4%, respectively. The percentage of the underweight group of female subjects was higher than that of the male subjects. The percentage of the obese group of male subjects was higher than that of the female subjects. The average score of nutrition knowledge, nutrition attitude and dietary behavior was 6.8, 7.44, and 7.34, respectively. Dietary behavior of male subjects was positively correlated with parents' education levels, monthly household income and nutrition attitude. Dietary behavior of female subjects was positively correlated with monthly household income, nutrition knowledge and nutrition attitude. Dietary behavior of female subjects was positively correlated with obesity index (OI). Proper nutrition education and intervention are required for the improvement of elementary school children's nutrition knowledge, nutrition attitudes and dietary behaviors.

This study sought to determine changes in self-selected diets in response to a high energy tomato pasta entree. Thirty men, mostly African-American, who were diagnosed with prostate cancer and also scheduled for prostatectomy were enrolled in the study. Dietary intakes were obtained by 24 hr diet recall for 3 days before the intervention and 3 days in week 2 during the intervention. Tomato pasta entrees were formulated to contain 30 mg of lycopene with roughly the same macronutrient composition and averaged 771 kcal/entree. Mean adherence to lycopene dose was 82% and, days when the entree was consumed, the mean adherence to lycopen was 90%. Lycopene intake in their self-selected diet decreased from 5 to 1 mg/day which lowered the exposure to lycopene, planned during the intervention. The men were able to decompensate for most of the added energy to their diet, but there was still a mean increase in total intake of 242 kcal/day (p=0.04), which did not result in weight gain over the short period of the study. There were no significant changes in the percent of energy from protein, fat or carbohydrates, but dietary cholesterol increased from 341 to 472 mg/day (p=0.0002). Mean intakes of vitamins A and C, and folate were not significantly different and were above the EAR. Vitamin E intake decreased, but, because of the variance in intake, the decrease was not statistically significant. Possible deterioration of diet quality should be a consideration when recommending whole food interventions for the prevention of chronic disease or the amelioration of physiological dysfunction.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Recent studies have reported an association of the angiotensin II type 2 receptor (AT2R) 3123Cytosine/Adenine (3123C/A) polymorphism with essential hypertension and cardiovascular diseases. The purpose of the study was to investigate whether the AT2R 3123C/A polymorphism affects blood pressure for free-living hypertensive men during a 5-month intervention period. SUBJECTS/METHODS: The subjects were free-living hypertensive Japanese men aged 40 to 75 years who agreed to intervention in the period from 2004 to 2011. Detection of the AT2R 3123C/A polymorphism was determined by polymerase chain reaction. The dietary intervention was designed to decrease salt level and to increase potassium level through cooking instructions and self-monitoring of the diet. The exercise session consisted of activities such as stretching, resistance training, and walking. Blood pressure, urinary sodium and potassium excretion, dietary and lifestyle data, and non-fasting venous blood sample were collected at baseline and after the intervention period. RESULTS: Thirty nine subjects were eligible for participation and the follow-up rate was 97.4%. The C allele proportion was 57.9%. AT2R 3123C/A polymorphism was X-chromosome-linked, therefore we analyzed the C and A genotypes. At baseline, no significant differences were observed between the genotype groups. After the intervention, there were no significant differences in lifestyle habit between the groups. Nevertheless, the estimated salt excretion (g/day) was significantly decreased only in the C genotype (13.0-10.3, P = 0.031). No significant change was observed in systolic blood pressure (SBP) (mmHg) in the A genotype, but a significant decrease was observed in the C genotype (150.0-141.5, P = 0.024). CONCLUSTIONS: In the C genotype, it might be easy to improve SBP through lifestyle intervention in free-living hypertensive Japanese men, however generalization could not be achieved by the small sample size.

서울시에 거주하는 여대생 68명을 대상으로 본 연구에서는 모바일 앱 기반 당류 저감화 프로그램을 개발한 후, 개발된 프로그램을 활용하여 당류 저감화 행동변화단계에 따른 중재효과를 분석 비교하였다. 하루 간식섭취횟수, 당류교육경험여부, 단맛에 대한 기호도에서 행동변화단계에 따른 유의한 차이가 있었다. 당류에 관한 영양 지식 점수는 프로그램 중재 전에 행동 유지단계 대상자들이 고려전단계 대상자들에 비해 영양 지식 점수가 유의하게 높았으며 프로그램 중재 후에는 고려전단계와 고려 준비단계에서 영양 지식 점수가 유의적으로 상승하였고, 행동 유지단계도 점수가 상승하였지만 유의적이지는 않았다. 당류 섭취에 관한 식행동 점수는 프로그램 중재 전 행동 유지단계 대상자들이 고려전단계 대상자들에 비해 유의적으로 높았으며, 행동 유지단계 대상자들의 점수가 모든 식행동 항목에서 가장 높았다. 연구 결과 프로그램 중재 후 모든 행동변화단계에서 당류 섭취에 관한 식행동 점수는 유의적으로 상승하였다. 프로그램 중재 전 당류 섭취빈도는 음료류 중 '탄산음료', '과실주스'에서 고려 준비단계와 행동 유지단계에 따른 차이가 유의적이었고, 우유 및 유제품, 아이스크림 제품류 중 '액상 요구르트'는 고려전단계와 행동 유지단계에서 유의적인 차이가 있었다. 행동 유지 단계에서는 '비스킷'과 '단맛씨리얼'을 제외한 모든 항목의 섭취 빈도가 고려전단계, 고려 준비단계와 비교하여 가장 낮았다. 프로그램 중재 후에는 고려전단계에서 '초콜릿', '머핀케익류', '액상 요구르트'의 섭취 빈도가 유의적으로 감소하였고, 고려 준비단계에서는 '비스킷', '탄산음료', '과실주스', '가공우유'의 섭취 빈도가 유의적으로 감소하였다. 행동 유지단계 대상자들에서는 대부분의 항목에서 섭취 빈도가 감소하였지만 유의한 개선은 없었다. 당류 저감화를 실천하는 행동 유지단계 대상자들에 비해 고려전, 고려준비 단계 대상자들은 영양지식, 식행동, 섭취빈도가 바람직하지 않은 방향이었으나 모바일 앱 기반 당류 저감화 프로그램에 의해 고려전, 고려준비단계에서 영양지식, 식행동, 섭취빈도가 개선되었다. 당류에 관한 쉽고 정확한 교육정보를 제공함과 동시에 사용자 스스로 식이모니터링을 할 수 있도록 고안된 본 연구의 모바일 앱 기반 당류 저감화 프로그램은 고려전, 고려준비단계에 있는 대상자들의 당류 저감화 효과를 창출할 수 있는 효과적인 교육 도구이다. 본 프로그램은 시간과 장소에 구애받지 않고 사용 가능하므로 당류 교육 참여가 어려운 청년층을 위해 유용하게 활용될 수 있을 것이다. 또한 여러 연령층으로 확대가 가능하며 행동변화단계별로 세분화하여 적용한다면 당류 섭취 저감화에 효과적으로 기여 할 것으로 사료된다. 본 연구의 앱 기반 당류 저감화 프로그램에 건강 플랫폼에서 활용하고 있는 게이미피케이션 (gamification) 기법을 사용하여 흥미가 추가되도록 보완하면, 수용성 및 지속가능성이 더욱 증가할 것으로 기대된다.
