Objectives: While recent studies showed that coffee consumption reduced the risk of all-cause mortality, no study has examined the effect of coffee consumption on all-cause mortality related to sleep disorders. We aimed to examine whether sleep-related disorders would differently affect the association between coffee consumption and the risk of all-cause mortality among 8,075 adults aged 40 to 69 years. Methods: In a prospective cohort study, the study participants were biennially followed up for 12 years from 2001 to 2012. On each follow-up visit, the participants underwent comprehensive tests including anthropometric examinations, interviewer-administered questionnaires, and biochemical tests. Coffee consumption frequency and the amount were measured using a semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire. Using death certificate data from Korean National Statistical Office, the vital status of each study participant was identified. Sleep-related disorders were examined with interviewer-administered questionnaires. We estimated Hazard ratios and the corresponding 95% confidence intervals from Cox Proportional Hazard models. Multivariable models were established after adjusting for center, total caloric intake, age, gender, body mass index, physical activity, education, smoking, drinking, hypertension, diabetes, total cholesterol, c-reactive protein, energy-adjusted food groups of refined grains, vegetables, fruits, meat, fish, and dairy. Results: Compared with those who had no coffee consumption, participants who had about three cups of coffee per day showed a reduced risk of all-cause mortality, after adjusting for covariates. Those who had a sleep-related disorder showed no significant effect of coffee consumption on the risk of all-cause mortality, whereas those who had no sleep-related disorders showed significantly reduced risk of all-cause mortality. Conclusions: Our findings suggested that approximately three cups of coffee per day would be beneficial to reduce the risk of all-cause mortality only among adults with no sleep-related disorders. Coffee consumption should be prudent for those with sleep-related symptoms.

This study intended to provide the basic data for developing the educational materials of the preventive measures of dental diseases and of the improvement method of oral health by examining hospitalized patients' knowledge and practice of oral health. It had a survey for 253 hospitalized patients in D General Hospital located in Ulsan from August 10, 2006 to September 10, 2006. The participants were requested to write down an answer to each question. In relation to the knowledge and practice of oral health, 15 questions were prepared respectively and 5-point scale was employed. The study results were as follows: 1. 53.8% of the participants were females and 25.3% was in the ages of 30~39, 44.7% was high school graduates and 26.1% had professional jobs. 41.9% was hospitalized for less than 5 days. 2. The participants' average knowledge of oral health was $3.79{\pm}0.88$ and their average practice was $3.15{\pm}0.98$, which tells that they knowledge oral health, but they are negligent at practicing it. 3. Female patients showed higher knowledge of oral health than males, and the patients in the ages of 30~39 showed the highest knowledge(pE0.05). In terms of the practice of dental health, younger patients showed higher points. The higher their educational and economic background were, the higher their knowledge and practice of oral health were. In addition, the patients involved in office works or public serves showed higher knowledge and practice too(pE0.05).

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the characteristics of and risk factors for medical-device-related pressure ulcer (MDRPU) development in intensive care units. Methods: A prospective cohort study design was used, and the participants were 253 adult patients who had stayed in medical and surgical intensive care units. Data were collected regarding the application of medical devices and MDRPU-related characteristics over a period of six months from June to November, 2017. Data were analyzed using independent t-test, ${\chi}^2-test$, Fisher's exact test, and binary logistic regression analysis with the SPSS 21.0 program. Results: Among the 253 participants, MDRPUs occurred in 51 (19.8%) participants. The results of the logistic regression analysis showed that the risk factors for MDRPUs were the use of endotracheal tubes (OR=5.79, 95% CI: 1.66~20.20), having had surgery (OR=2.95, 95% CI: 1.11~7.77), being in a semi-coma/coma (OR=5.79, 95% CI: 1.04~32.05), and sedation (OR=5.54, 95% CI: 1.39~22.19). Conclusion: On the basis of the study results, it is effectively facilitated by nurses when they care for patients with MDRPUs in intensive care units and the results are expected to be of help in preventive education for MDRPU development as well as preparing the base data for intervention studies.

이 연구는 농촌지역에 거주하는 노인 160명을 대상으로 하여 최종 참여한 148명(중재군 70명, 대조군 78명)에게 수행하였다. 중재군에는 에너지 및 부족영양소의 급원 식품을 1주 분량으로 주 1회씩 3개월 동안 제공하고 동시에 영양교육을 6회 실시하였고, 대조군에 대해서는 식품제공을 적용하지 않은 상태에서 영양교육만 같은 내용으로 6회 실시하여 두 군을 비교 연구하여 얻은 결론은 다음과 같다. 1. 영양중재결과 영양지식의 유의한 차이는 없으나 중재군에서 우울증 척도의 점수가 유의하게 감소하였고, 식습관의 변화, 자신감과 신념척도의 점수가 유의하게 증가하였다. 2. 영양중재로 인한 혈액학적 변화로는 transferrin이 유의하게 증가하였다. 3. 중재군에서 에너지 필요추정량 대비 에너지섭취비율이 71.0%에서 87.4%로 증가하였고, 비타민A와 나이아신을 제외한 대부분의 영양소가 유의하게 증가하였다. 이상의 결과로 볼 때 단기간의 개입기간에도 지역사회노인이 실제로 섭취하는 음식의 구성은 식품제공을 겸한 영양중재사업을 통해 개선될 수 있으며, 개개인의 식습관, 우울증, 자신감 등의 개선을 기할 수 있어 영양개선에만 그치지 않고 다른 영역에 대한 파급효과를 기대할 수 있다. 또한, 노인영양개선사업은 단순히 교육만으로 효과를 충분히 거두기 어려우며 영양공급을 전제로 할 때 소기의 목적을 달성할 수 있다고 결론지을 수 있다.

현재 농사를 짓고 있는 농업인 295명을 대상으로 일대일 면담 방식의 설문조사를 통해 농작업 중 노출되는 미세먼지에 대한 인지된 감수성, 마스크 착용, 미세먼지 노출 관련 호흡기질환 예방교육의 참여의향 등을 조사하였다. 대상자의 평균 연령은 60.3세로 농사 경력은 평균 25.6년이었고 주 작목에 따른 실내 농작업자가 178명(60.9%), 실외 농작업자가 115명(39.1%)이었다. '직업 특성상, 농작업 중 노출되는 미세먼지로 부터 자신이 취약한 계층이라고 생각하는 지'에 대해서 112명(48.1%)이 '예'라고 하였고, 응답자 중 실내 농작업자가 66.7%이었다. '농작업 중 노출되는 미세먼지에 대한 인지된 감수성'의 점수는 5점 만점에서 평균 3.8점이었으며 호흡기질환 예방교육 참여 경험이 있는 집단은 4.1점, 경험이 없는 집단은 3.6점이었다. 작목군 중에서는 화훼 농업인이 평균 4.1점으로 가장 높았다. 성별(p=.004)과 직업특성상 자신이 미세먼지로부터 취약한 계층이라고 생각하는 지 여부(p=.004), 호흡기질환 예방교육 참여 경험 유무(p=.011)에서 유의미한 차이가 있었다. 미세먼지 노출에 대한 인지된 감수성과 미세먼지 관련 호흡기질환 예방교육 참여 의향간의 상관관계는 유의미한 양의 관계(r=.219, p<.001)를 보였고 인터넷이나 문자를 활용한 교육 방법(33.6%)을 가장 선호하는 것으로 나타났다. 농업인의 농작업 관련 건강위험 인식 고조 및 미세먼지 등 유해물질의 직업적 노출 감소를 위해서 정부와 대중의 관심 증대라는 외부 기회를 활용하고, 농업인의 인식수준과 교육 욕구의 내부 강점을 사용하는 전략으로써 다양한 교육 콘텐츠 개발이 이루어져야 할 것이다.

본 연구는 만 12세 이상 19세 미만의 청소년에서 간식섭취 횟수와 치아우식경험과의 상관성을 확인하고자 2007년 국민건강영양조사 자료에 근거하여 분석한 결과 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 간식섭취 횟수가 1일 2회 이상인 학생이 55.7%로 많았고, 칫솔질 횟수는 1일 2회 미만인 학생이 83.9%로 많았으며, 77.6%의 학생이 치아우식증을 경험한 것으로 나타났다. 2. 간식섭취 횟수와 치아우식경험과의 상관성을 분석한 결과 간식섭취 횟수가 1일 2회 미만 보다 1일 2회 이상인 청소년의 경우 치아우식 경험이 2배정도 높은 것으로 나타났고, 이는 통계적으로 유의한 것으로 조사되었다(OR:2.1, CI:1.1-4.0). 3. 간식 종류별 섭취횟수와 치아우식경험과의 상관성에서는 일 년에 11회 이하 간식을 섭취하는 청소년에 비하여 하루에 3회 이하 섭취하는 청소년들이 치아우식경험이 높은 것으로 나타났으며 통계적으로 유의하지는 않았다(OR:1.5 CI:0.6-3.7). 이상의 결과에 근거하여 청소년의 간식섭취 횟수와 치아우식경험 간의 유의한 상관성이 있음을 확인하였고, 이에 따라 청소년을 대상으로 학교 내에서는 구강건강과 관련된 올바른 간식섭취에 대한 지속적인 영양교육, 식이상담 교육 등이 일상적으로 이루어져야 할 것으로 생각된다. 따라서 전문 치과위생들의 청소년을 위한 이러한 구강관리 교육 및 지침서 등을 개발하고, 보급하는데 적극적인 참여가 필요할 것으로 사료된다. 또한 다양한 간식섭취 종류에 따른 치아우식경험 또는 구강건강과의 상관성에 대한 심층분석이 필요할 것으로 본다.

Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the effects of school-based education programmes to prevent unintentional injuries in 7~19 years old. Methods: To perform a systematic literature survey, the researchers searched three databases - MEDLINE (PubMed), EMBASE and THE COCHRANE LIBRARY - for literature relevant to 'safety accidents in school' (published up to October 2013). The term 'school-based unintentional injuries' was used to sort out studies on injuries. This study adopted a pretest-posttest comparative design and the participants were children and adolescents aged 7 to 19 years. Results: The search yielded 9,553 records, of which eight studies were included in the review. The eight studies examined the effect of school-based education programmes to prevent unintentional injuries. The research revealed that education programmes had a significant impact on knowledge improvement and behavior change. Although two studies of the total eight showed a difference in attitude scores between the experimental group and the control group, the difference was not statistically significant. Conclusion: Despite the changes in education and public policy, trauma-related injuries continue to result in an unacceptably high morbidity and mortality, particularly among young people. More effective school health programs, policies and programmatic interventions are needed to reduce safety accidents and improve health among youth.

Objectives: This study was performed in order to evaluate whether 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) could be detected among residents living near Camp Caroll in Waegwan and whether serum concentrations of dioxins, including 2,3,7,8-TCDD, and organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) are associated with length of residence. Methods: Study subjects totaled 113 (for dioxins) and 190 (for OCPs) adults who were selected from participants in a medical investigation. Serum concentrations of dioxins and OCPs were measured using HRGC/HRMS. Information on length of residence was obtained through questionnaires. Results: 2,3,7,8-TCDD was not detected in serum among all subjects. When length of residence was classified as a categorical variable, after adjusting for confounding variables, only residents living in Waegwan for 40 years or longer tended to have high total TEQ values and 2,3,4,7,8-PeCDF with marginal significances. There was no dose-response relation between length of residence and serum concentrations of these chemicals. In multiple regression models with continuous values of the length of residence, total TEQ value and 1,2,3,4,6,7,8-HpCDF were positively associated with length of residence. However, they explained about 3-5% of total variations of serum concentrations of these compounds, while age, consumption of fatty fish, body mass index, alcohol drinking, and cigarette smoking were main variables affecting serum concentrations of dioxins or OCPs. Conclusions: In the current study, high concentrations of certain compounds were mainly observed among persons who lived in Waegwan for at least for 40 years without a dose-response relation. Therefore, it seems difficult to conclude that length of residence meaningfully contributed to the current serum concentrations of dioxins or OCPs among residents in Waegwan. However, considering the half-life of 2,3,7,8-TCDD and indirect exposure routes, the limitations of the current study design should be considered in the interpretation of the study findings.

Objectives : To estimate the awareness, treatment and control rate, as well as to identify the awareness-related factors for hypertension. Methods : The study participants were 482 adults (men 206, women 276), aged 45 or over, diagnosed with hypertension and living in Chuncheon. The awareness rate was defined as the proportion of persons among those with hypertension who had previously been diagnosed by a physician. The treatment rate was defined as the proportion of persons who had used anti-hypertensive medication, among those who were aware of their hypertension. The control rate was defined as the proportion of persons who kept blood pressure normal, among those who had been treated for their hypertension. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was carried out for the awareness-related factors using SAS VER 8.1. Results : The awareness, treatment, and control rate were 55,8% (53.4% for men; 57.6% for women), 89.6% (87,2% for men; 91.2% for women), and 34.4% (28.1 % for men; 38.6% for women), respectively. The awareness-related factors included a family history of hypertension (odds ratio[OR], 5.63; 95% confidence interval[95% CI]=1.53-20.72), smoking([Ex; OR 0.38, 95% CI= 0.15-0.96)], [Current; OR 0.28, 95% CI=0.10-0.80]), and alcohol intake ([Ex; OR 3.22, 95% CI 1.03-10.09],[Current; OR 3.36, 95% CI=1.30-8.71]) for men, and education(OR 2.23, 95% CI=1.10-4.53), body mass index(OR 2.72, 95% CI=1.13-6.53), and self-rated health(OR 2.38, 95% CI=1.07-5.30) for women. Conclusions : The awareness rate of hypertension among the middle aged and elderly in Chuncheon was 55.8%. The related factors of awareness were gender specific. Further studies are needed to elucidate the putative reasons for these gender differences.
