  • The purpose of this study was to investigate dietary habits, health lifestyle, preference and intake of beverages of Chinese students in Gyeonggi area. Therefore, we try to identify the factors that affect beverage consumption. According to the analysis of the demographic characteristics of male and female Chinese students, there were 155 male students (49.7%) and 157 female students (50.3%). There were statistically significant differences between the residence period and the time of coming to Korea according to sex (p<0.05), but there was no statistically significant difference between the education level, residence type and Korean ability (p>0.05). Analysis of the differences in health-related lifestyle among Chinese students of both sexes showed statistically significant difference in alcohol drinking, smoking, and exercise according to sex (p<0.05), but no statistically significant difference in computer use time (p>0.05). According to the analysis of the dietary habits of the Chinese students, there was a statistically significant difference in the number of meals per day, breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack frequency and number of midnight snacks, but no statistically significant difference in eating out frequency. As a result of the preference test for general beverages, 4.11 points of water, 3.81 points of milk, 3.64 points of fruit and vegetable juice, 3.58 points of tea, 3.25 points of coffee, 3.22 points of carbonated drinks, 2.92 points of functional drinks, respectively. Male students were more likely to prefer water, tea, and health functional drinks while female students had higher preference for fruit, vegetable juice and vinegar drinks (p<0.05). In general, consumption of regular drinks was 4.95 in water, 3.58 in milk, 3.03 in coffee, 2.92 in carbonated drink, 2.91 in fruit and vegetable juice, 2.63 in tea, 2.07 in functional drink, and 1.44 in vinegar appear. Male students had higher intake of water, tea, carbonated drinks, and health functional drinks while female students had higher intake of fruit and vegetable juice (p<0.05). The results of correlation analysis of factors affecting the general drinking of Chinese students are as follows. The intake of tea was related to the period of residence and dietary habits, the intake of milk for breakfast, the number of snacks and midnight snacks for carbonated drinks, and the fruit vegetable juice were related to dietary habits (p<0.01, p<0.05).

  • Recently developed TRAP assay(Total Radical-trapping Antioxidant Potential) is a new technique which enable effectively the measurement of total antioxidant status in the plasma. Researches using TRAP method have rarely been reported in Korea. Therefore, we investigated effects of various life-style and dietary factors on plasma TRAP level in Korean adult population. The subjects consisted of 161 health adult male(n=105) and female (n=56) aged 19-57. A self-administered questionnaire ascertained life-style factors including smoking habits, alcohol use, physical activity. Dietary factors were analyzed by 24 hour recall method. TRAP was determined spectrophotometrically in plasma at 734nm. Mean plasma TRAP concentrations were slightly higher in males (1.35$\pm$0.02mM) and females(1.30$\pm$0.02mM) without significance. There were significant correlations between plasma TRAP levels and life-style factors including exercise and smoking Plasma TRAP levels were affected more by exercise than by smoking. Moderate amount exerciser(exercise time $\geq$30min/day) had significantly higher level of plasma TRAP levels in male smokers(1.33$\pm$0.03mM) were significantly lower than those in male nonsmokers(1.39$\pm$0.01mM, p<0.05), but the difference was not seen in female subjects. Intakes of vitamin C(r=0.288, p=0.007) or folate (r=0.258, p=0.016) were positively correlated with plasma TRAP levels in nonsmokers, but those relations were not seen in smokers. Dietary factors such as vegetables (r=0.288, p=0.007)or folate (r=0.258, p=0.016) were positively correlated with plasma TRAP levels in nonsmokers, but those relations were not seen in smokers. Dietary factors such as vegetables (r=0.277, p=0.009) and legumes(r=0.263, p=0.013) consumption were positively related to plasma TRAP concentrations also in nonsmokers only. Regular green tea drinkers showed significantly greater level of plasma TRAP than the non green tea drinkers(1.36$\pm$0.01mM vs 1.30$\pm$0.03mM, p<0.05). These results suggest that the regular exercise($\geq$30min daily), nonsmoking, and consumption of vegetables, legumes and green tea would contribute to improving plasma TRAP levels in Korean adults.

  • A survey of how dietary patterns and living habits were related to individual health status was undertaken amongst the elderly in Jeon-ju the results were analyzed in order to collect information which would be useful in preventing chronic diseases and promoting health in the general population. Two hundred and thirty elderly people, 73 min (31.7%) and 157 women (68.3%) from the colleges and households in the Jeon-ju area, were studied in truly and August, 1999. Average scores for men and women, respectively, in nutrition-related questions were as follows: 4.98 $\pm$ 0.24 and 5.24 $\pm$ 0.13 in a nutrition knowledge test (maximum score= 10), 25.92 $\pm$ 0.39 and 26.04 $\pm$ 0.26 for nutrition attitudes (maximum=50), and 11.25 $\pm$ 0.15 and 10.70 $\pm$ 0.12 for dietary habits (maximum= 15). The percentages of smokers and drinkers in the sample were 23.3% and 31.5% among men, and 3.2% and 10.8% among women, respectively, while those who took regular exercise were 67.1% among men and 34.8% among women. Average scores of clinical symptoms for men and women were 27.62 $\pm$ 0.62 and 33.36 $\pm$ 0.47, respectively. Analysis was carried out on the effects of individual dietary patterns and lifestyles on current health status in a healthy group (below the 25 percentile in clinical symptom scores) and an unhealthy group (above the 75 percentile in clinical symptom scores). The results show that the healthy elderly group had relatively good nutrition knowledge, nutrition attitudes, and dietary patterns, ate with family, took nutrition supplements and snacks, and did not smoke. The most healthy group ate out once a month, drank small quantities of alcohol occasionally, and exercised once or twice a week. We believe that the results of this study will be helpful in developing or coordinating plans or programs f)r improving the health of elderly people.

  • Following breast cancer diagnosis, women often attempt to modify their lifestyles to improve their health and prevent recurrence. These behavioral changes typically involve diet and physical activity modification. The aim of this study was to determine association between healthy eating habits and physical activity with quality of life among Iranian breast cancer survivors. A total of 100 Iranian women, aged between 32 to 61 years were recruited to participate in this cross-sectional study. Eating practices were evaluated by a validated questionnaire modified from the Women's Healthy Eating and Living (WHEL) study. Physical activity was assessed using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). A standardized questionnaire by the European Organization of Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life and its breast cancer module (EORTC QLQ-C30/+BR-23) were applied to determine quality of life. Approximately 29% of the cancer survivors were categorized as having healthy eating practices, 34% had moderate eating practices and 37% had poor eating practices based on nutrition guidelines. The study found positive changes in the decreased intake of fast foods (90%), red meat (70%) and increased intake of fruits (85%) and vegetables (78%). Generally, breast cancer survivors with healthy eating practices had better global quality of life, social, emotional, cognitive and role functions. Results showed that only 12 women (12%) met the criteria for regular vigorous exercise, 22% had regular moderate-intensity exercise while the majority (65%) had low-intensity physical activity. Breast cancer survivors with higher level of physical activity had better emotional and cognitive functions. Healthy eating practices and physical activity can improve quality of life of cancer survivors. Health care professionals should promote good dietary habits and physical activity to improve survivor's health and quality of life.

  • The purpose of this study was to compare the awareness of dietary patterns and health of full-time and employed housewives. The investigation gathered information on general characteristics, dietary lifestyle, nutritional status, and health by questionnaire as well as anthropometric measurements. The subjects included housewives living in Seoul and Gyeonggi Province (86 full-time and 127 working housewives) during November 2009 to January 2010. The average age, height, and weight of the housewives were $45.8{\pm}7.6\;yr$, $161.0{\pm}8.4\;cm$, and $55.7{\pm}6.3\;kg$, respectively. The average monthly income of the households was 3 million to 5 million won (31.4% full-time and 37.0% working housewives), and their average food expense was 200,000 to 500,000 won (46.5% full-time and 48.1% working housewives). More than 90% of the studied homes were nuclear families and the most common number of children was 2 to 3 (79.1% full-time and 76.4% working housewives). The ratio of employed housewives who ate regular meals was 35.4%, but that of the full-time housewives was 48.2% (p<0.05). Of the working housewives, 7.1% never ate breakfast and the primary reason for skipping breakfast was 'busy in the morning' (61.1%). The type of food that the housewives preferred when eating out was Korean food, both for the full-time and employed housewives (76.0%). All the housewives overate calories and the full-time housewives ate more protein, fat, vitamin A, vitamin B1, vitamin B6, niacin, vitamin C, vitamin E, folic acid, and cholesterol than the employed housewives (p<0.05). Both the full-time and employed housewives were more satisfied with supper than with other meals. About 30.6% of the full-time and 33.9% of the working housewives had no interest in health, but answered that regular exercise was very important for health (33.3% full-time and 39.7% working housewives). In conclusion, working housewives have poor dietary habits and nutrient intakes, thus substantial measures to improve these problems are urgently needed.

  • 본 연구는 서울 지역에 거주하는 일부 여대생을 대상으로 식생활 평가를 기준으로 두 그룹으로 분류하여 식생활 습관, 신체 발달, 건강습관 및 혈액 인자를 비교하여 건강상 문제를 일으킬 수 있는 원인을 찾아내어 문제점을 해결할 수 있는 방안을 제시하고자 실시하였다. 전체 조사 대상자의 신장과 체중의 평균값은 각각 $162.02{\pm}4.89\;cm$$53.96{\pm}7.00\;kg$으로 조사되었다. 여대생의 식생활을 진단하기 위해 3점 척도로 살펴 본 결과, 전체 여대생의 식생활 진단 성적(1~10항목)은 평균 21.2점이었다. 평소 식사시간이 규칙적인 전체 여대생은 67.6%였으며, 아침식사를 매일 하는 여대생이 전체 중 30.5%에 불과하였으며, 주 중 최소한 한 번 이상은 결식하였다. 아침식사를 거르는 이유로는 '아침시간이 바쁘거나'(60.8%), '늦게 일어나서'(23.0%) 아침을 거르는 경우가 응답자의 83.8%나 되었다. 83.5%의 여대생은 가끔 또는 자주 과식을 하는 것으로 조사되었으며, 외식시 한식을 선호하였다. 여대생이 하루에 주로 1~2회 간식을 하였으며, 편식을 '자주 한다.'는 비율은 40.4%나 되었다. Good group에서는 간식으로 빵류 및 감자(39.3%), 탄산음료 및 빙과류(36.8%)를 섭취하였으며, Poor group에서는 우유 및 유제품(38.0%), 패스트푸드 및 튀김식품(22.8%)을 간식으로 섭취하였다. 전체 조사 대상자의 열량 섭취량은 $2,332.87{\pm}747.91\;kcal$로 한국인 영양 섭취 기준 중 20~29세 여성의 열량 필요 추정량으로 제시된 2,100 kcal보다 높게 섭취하는 것으로 조사되었으며, 열량, 지방, 비타민 $B_2$, $B_6$, niacin, 엽산, 칼슘, 철, 아연, 인 등의 영양소 섭취는 식생활 평가 점수가 평균 이하로 낮은 그룹에서 높게 섭취하는 것으로 조사되었다. 혈중 적혈구수의 경우 4.49~4.55(${\times}10^6/{\mu}L$)로 군 간에 유의한 차이는 보이지 않았으며, 전체 조사 대상자의 혈중 백혈구 수치는 $6.40{\pm}1.52({\times}10^3/{\mu}L$)이었다. 헤모글로빈 수치도 $13.77{\pm}1.00\;g/dL$로 정상 범위에 속하였으나 헤모글로빈 농도가 12 g/dL 이하인 여대생은 6.4%였으며, 기준치 11.1 g/dL로 제한하면 약 2.7%의 여대생만이 빈혈이었다. 그러나 hematocrit 함량이 33%를 cut-off point로 했을 때는 빈혈로 판정되는 여대생이 없었다. 총콜레스테롤 수치가 200 mg/dL 이상인 여대생은 23.9%로 조사되었으며, 중성지방, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol는 군 간에 유의한 차이가 없었다. 건강에 대한 관심도는 식생활 평가가 평균 이하로 낮은 그룹에서 24.5%로 높았으며, 오히려 식생활 평가가 높은 그룹에서는 49.6%의 여대생이 건강에 대한 관심이 없는 것으로 조사되었다. 건강을 유지하기 가장 중요한 부분으로는 규칙적인 식사와 영양 섭취, 충분한 휴식과 수면이 중요하다고 답하였다. 여대생의 경우 평균 수면 시간은 6~8시간이 가장 많았으며, 운동의 여부를 묻는 질문에는 식생활 평가가 평균 이하로 낮은 그룹에서 운동을 한다고 답한 여대생이 36.2%로 식생활 평가가 평균 이상으로 좋은 그룹의 여대생들(18.5%)에 비해 유의하게 높았다(p<0.05). 따라서 본 연구에서 전체적인 여대생의 식생활의 문제점으로는 아침식사의 결식, 과식과 편식하는 습관, 영양소의 불균형적인 섭취 및 운동의 부족 등이 문제시 되었으며, 식생활 평가가 평균 이하로 낮은 그룹에서는 간식으로 지방을 많이 함유한 패스트푸드나 튀김식품 등의 섭취 및 열량위주의 식사가 많은 것으로 조사되었다. 또한 식생활 평가가 평균 이상으로 좋은 그룹의 여대생들의 가장 큰 문제점은 간식으로 탄산음료 및 빙과류의 섭취가 높으며, 과일 섭취의 부족 및 운동 부족으로 자신의 건강을 소홀히 생각하고 있다는 점이었다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해서는 자신의 건강상태를 바르게 판단하여 자신에게 맞는 현실적으로 실천 가능한 식생활 계획을 세우는 것이 필요하며, 대학에서 영양과 건강에 관한 수업의 실시 및 대중화함으로써 영양교육의 강화가 필요한 것으로 사료된다. 또한 지역사회 구성원 및 가족과 함께 실천할 수 있는 식사 관리 프로그램을 마련하는 것도 좋은 방법 중의 하나라고 사료된다.

  • This study attempted to analyze the health habits affecting health status of industrial workers. Data was collected from 57 industries of 900 workers at Inchon. The research has been carried out through self-administered questionnaire and from the analysis of the health examination records and the results were as follows: 1. Among 861 respondents, men were 81.2%, women were 18.8%, 42, 6% were of the 30-40 age group, the married were 65.7%, the single were 32.5%, the high school graduates were 62.4% and 37.3% were of people who worked between 1 and 5 years. 2. As far as the seven health habits, current smokers were 54.9%, people who regularly exercise was 31.7%, 7-8 hour of sleep, on the average were 74.0%, people eating breakfast nearly every day were 8.0%, and people eating between meals almost every day were 54.2%. Heavy drinkers who drink 3-4 times or more per week were 13.2%, 1-2 times per week were 26.8% and the obese were 4.6%, 3. Health status of A and B, estimated by doctors in the health examination were 81.7% and C, D1, D2, the unhealthy were 18.3%. Men were reported more than women in unhealthy groups and the results regarding health status reflect gender, educational level and age, That is to say that, lower educational level group and over 30 years of age group perceive their health to be worse than the higher educational level and under 30 age group, And these differences were statistically significant. 4. The relationship between health habits and health status, expressed in terms of the odds ratio. Current smokers had a consistently worse health status than a nonsmokers with a 1.36 odds ratio. The workers who reported eating breakfast rarely or never were more associated with the unhealthy group than the regular breakfast eating group with a 2.48 odds ratio. One or more drink per week had a worse health status than a never or a little drinker with a 1.42 odds ratio. 5, The Health habits score and duration of work were selected as significant factors influencing health status based on logistic analysis. According to the results of this model, the odds ratio of good health status was 2.06 for good health habit score, 1.55 for population who worked seven years or more duration of work. As we have seen, good practices were found to be associated with better health and the effect of the health habits was cummulative;those who followed 6-7 health habits were in better health, even though they were older than those who failed to do so. Therefore, in order to provide the health promotion of workers it is necessary to establish a health management plan for an effective health education and health service. If we use this type of study as a prospective study design, we can get a precise basic data for health promotion and a management plan for industrial workers.
