본 연구는 방사선 조사식품에 대한 여성 근로자들의 인식 및 행태를 파악하기 위해 설문조사로 수행되었으며 수집된 총 326부의 설문지를 최종 분석하였다. 연구결과 방사선 조사식품에 대한 지식수준은 3.411점, 인식수준은 2.542점이었다. 방사선 조사식품의 구입경험은 학력, 근무기관 및 직업에서, 섭취경험은 근무기관, 학력, 직업 및 경력에서 유의한 차이가 있었다. 방사선 조사식품에 대한 예방행동은 근무기관, 경력 및 직업에 따라 유의한 차이가 있었다. 방사선 조사식품에 대한 요인별 상관관계 분석에서 지식이 많고 인식이 좋을수록 구입 및 섭취경험이 많은 유의한 상관관계가 있었다. 그러나 예방 행동은 지식, 인식, 구입경험 및 섭취경험과 유의한 상관관계가 없었다. 따라서 향후 방사선 조사식품의 합리적 선택을 위해 방사선 조사식품에 대한 정보제공, 안전성 교육 등이 필요하다고 판단된다.

In this study, we aimed to explore whether eating alone is associated with mental health conditions in Korean adolescents. The data of 2,012 Korean adolescents aged 12-18 years were obtained from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2015-2019. Participants were classified into three groups based on the frequency of eating alone: none (all meals with others); 1 meal/day alone; and ≥2 meals/day alone. Mental health conditions were assessed based on stress recognition, depressive symptoms, and suicidal ideation. Multivariable logistic regressions were employed to calculate the adjusted odds ratios (AORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of poor mental health conditions according to the frequency of eating alone. Adolescents who ate ≥2 meals/day alone had higher odds of stress recognition (AOR: 2.65, 95% CI: 1.94-3.63), depressive symptoms (AOR: 2.55, 95% CI: 1.47-4.42), and suicidal ideation (AOR: 2.53, 95% CI: 1.05-6.08) than those who ate all their meals with others. In addition, having breakfast or dinner alone increased the odds of stress recognition. Considering the continuous increase in the social phenomenon of eating alone, nutritional educations are needed to develop adolescents' ability to choose more nutritionally balanced and healthy meals when eating alone.

This study analyzed consumers' recognition and demand for probiotic products and dietary and living habits according to their probiotics ingestion experience to provide information on the development of probiotic products and marketing strategies in the health functional food-related industry. A total of 280 consumers living in Seoul, Incheon and Kyeonggi-do area were enrolled in this study. The consumers expected mostly intestinal health (80.4%) after ingesting probiotics. The appropriate price level for purchasing probiotics was between 20,000-50,000 won (58.2%), preferring a price range of 50,000 won or less (77.1%). There was a significant difference in the dietary habits depending on the experience of probiotics ingestion, but there was no difference in the living habit. Consumers took Vitamin C, red Ginseng and Ginseng the most instead of probiotics as health functional foods. Based on the results, a marketing strategy could be established to meet the consumer's needs, such as focusing on the effects of probiotics, building up various price policies and the development of new products mixing with other commonly consumed health supplements.

본 일개 지역의 65세 이상 노인을 대상으로 건강에 대한 주관적 인식정도를 중심으로 일반적 특성, 건강 습관 및 관리 요인, 암 관련 요인 파악하여 노인의 건강증진 연구의 기초자료로 활용하고자 시행되었다. 생활수준에 대한 인식은 연구대상자 50.7%가 중간수준이라고 응답하였다. 현재 건강상태가 일상생활을 방해하는지 조사한 결과 건강수준 인식이 좋지 못 할수록 현재 건강상태로 인하여 일상생활을 방해받는다고 하였다. 건강관리 방법은 건강정도 인식이 나쁘거나 좋지 못한 그룹은 의약품으로 관리한다는 빈도가 가장 높은 반면, 건강정도 인식이 좋다고 생각하는 그룹은 인체에 직접적으로 영향을 미치는 음주 혹은 흡연을 하지 않거나 끊는 것으로 나타났다. 향후 10년 안에 암 발생 가능성에 대한 인식은 건강인식이 좋다고 그룹은 42.7.%, 보통인 그룹은 47.6%, 나쁘다고 생각하는 그룹은 52.0%로 응답하였다. 노인들도 건강에 대한 올바른 습관을 지속적으로 유지할 수 있도록 제도적인 뒷받침이 있어야 할 것으로 생각된다.

Stress has been associated with poor eating behavior and diet quality. Yet, the relationship between nutrient and food intake and perceived stress in Korean female adults has not been validated. The purpose of this study is to identify the relationship between nutrient and food intake and perceived stress in Korean female adults. This is a cross-sectional study based on the 2014-2015 Korean National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey data. This study investigated 2,010 female adults age 19~64. In this study, according to subjects' perceived stress, we classified subjects into very low-stress recognition group (VLSRG) (n=211), low-stress recognition group (VSRG) (n=1,223), high-stress recognition group (HSRG) (n=488) and very high-stress recognition group (VHSRG) (n=88). Daily nutrients and food group intake, food groups consumed (Dietary Diversity Score, DDS) were analyzed using data from the 24-recall method. The VHSRG had a larger proportion of subjects that were younger (p<0.0001), single (p<0.0001) and smokers (p<0.0001) compared to the VLSRG. Energy and food intake did not differ between the four groups. Percentage of subjects with protein (p=0.0322), vitamin A (p=0.0364) and vitamin C (p=0.0115) intake lower than the EAR (estimated average requirement) in the VHSRG were significantly lowest in the four groups. Also, food intake percentage from fruits and seaweed groups in the VHSRG were lower than other groups (p=0.0034, p=0.0015). DDS in the VHSRG (3.87) was significantly lowest in the four groups (p=0.0022). Results suggest that perceived stress in Korean female adults may by significant to consider in nutritional education programs.

The purpose of menu labeling is to offer eating environments with improved healthy food selection. Similar to U.S. policies, the Korea government enforces the Special Act on Children's Food Safety and Nutrition for provision of nutritional labeling in chain restaurants. Considering the importance of dining services for college students and their interests in health, this study examined college students' perception toward nutrition information provided by university dining services. A survey was conducted for university students. Students' recognition of nutrition information for university dining services was lower than recognition of nutrition information for commercial food services. The most common reason cited by students for considering nutrition information of university dining services was customer rights, followed by health maintenance. Students showed a high tendency to use nutrition information of university dining services. College students' motivation for knowing nutrition information of university dining services included health and value interests. Students' knowledge of nutrition had a positive effect on their intention to know nutrition information. The findings of this study offer university administrators and contract food service management companies directions for developing menu labeling for university dining services.
