Purpose: We examined tobacco use pattern and its correlates among older adults. Materials and Methods: We used data of 9,852 older adults (${\geq}60$ years) (men 47% mean age 68 years) collected by the United Nations Population Fund on Ageing from seven Indian states. Logistic regression analysis was used to assess the correlates of tobacco use. Results: Current use of any form of tobacco was reported by 27.8% (men 37.9%, women 18.8%); 9.2% reported only smoking tobacco, 16.9% smokeless tobacco only and 1.7% used both forms. Alcohol users (OR:5.20, 95% CI:4.06-6.66), men (OR:2.92, CI :2.71-3.47), those reporting lower income (OR:2.74, CI:2.16-3.46), rural residents (OR 1.34, CI 1.17-1.54) and lower castes (OR:1.29, CI:1.13-1.47) were more likely to use any form of tobacco compared to their counterparts. Conclusions: Tobacco cessation interventions are warranted in this population focusing on alcohol users, men, those from lower income, rural residents and those belonging to a lower caste.

Objectives : This study aimed to evaluate the factors influencing health promotion behaviors in elderly men. Methods : We used data from the 6th Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. We analyzed difference between sociodemographic characters, health statuses, and health promotion behaviors by age. Logistic regression analysis was used to investigate the relation between health promotion behaviors and sociodemographic factors by age. Results : Health promotion behaviors related to aging were weight control effort, health screen examination, smoking cessation, and influenza vaccination. Socioeconomic statuses of elderly men declined from the preliminary age, and health status was influenced by the reduction of social role. Health promotion behaviors such as weight control, health screen examination, and performance of aerobic activities were decreased in men of advanced aged. Conclusions : The health promotion behaviors of elderly men differed significantly with age.

Although dental laboratory technicians are prone to be exposed to various work-related health hazardous materials such as dusts, chemicals, etc., the prevalence and nature of work-related health problems of them have not been a matter of great concern in the field of occupational health service in Korea. The purpose of the present investigation was to describe a collected profile of subjective health symptoms and their attributable factors in Korean dental laboratory technicians. A questionnaire listing five groups of health symptoms and five health symptom-related factors was mailed to randomly selected 1,900 dental laboratory technicians. Among them, 1,344 dental laboratory technicians filled out the questionnaires and returnde them. Five groups of health symptoms included musculoskeletal symptom, dermal symptoms, respiratory symptoms, eys symptoms, and ear symptoms. Five health symptom-related factors were occupational environment-related health risk factors, work history, health related habits and status, use of personal protective equipment and general characteristics. Detailed parameters of health risk factors were work posture, vibration, and chemical or physical hazards such as dust, fume, vapor, solvent, light, and noise for occupational environment-related factors; work place, area, number of employees, work hours, career, work part, and work load for work history; Broca's index, hours of sleep, eating, smoking, alcohol, exercise, health examination, and self assessed health status for health habits and status; face masks, goggles, and so on for use of personal protective equipment, and; age, sex, marital status, and education for general characteristics. Before the start of main survey, a pilot survey was carried out for validity and reliability tests of the questionnaire. All the data obtained were coded and analyzed with PC/SAS 6.12 program. The prevalence of health symptoms was the highest in musculoskelton (87.3%), and followde by eyes (78.9%), respiratory organs (64.3%), ears (57.8%), and skin (52.2%) in descending order. Statistically significant risk factors by multiple logistic regression analyses were sex, health examination, self assessed health status, and hand/finger posture in musculoskeletal symptoms; sex, self assessed health status, career, acid gas, and hand contact with resin mixture in deraml symptoms; Broka's smoking, exercise, self assessed health status, and face mask in respiratory symptoms; sex, hours of sleep, self assessed health status, work hours, work load, plaster dust, inadequate lighting, and goggle in eys symptoms, and eating, smoking, self assessed health status, and work load in ear symptoms. With the above considerations in mind, prevalence of subjective symptoms among Korean dental laboratory technicians was relatively high, and they were attributable to most of the occupational environment-related factors, work history, use of personal protective equipment, health habits and status, and general characteristics. Particularly, it is suggested that health promotion programs for promoting self- assessed health status and smoking cessation, preventive measures for protection of the female technicians’health, and reducing work load be necessary, since those factors were associated with more than one subjective symptom.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to detect signals of Adverse Events (AEs) after varenicline treatment using spontaneous AEs reporting system in Korea. Methods: This study was conducted by Korea Institute of Drug Safety and Risk Management-Korea Adverse Event Reporting System Database (KIDS-KD) reported from January 2013 to December 2017 through Korea Adverse Event Reporting System. Signals of varenicline that satisfied the data-mining indices, proportional reporting ratio, reporting odds ratio and information component were defined. The detected signals were checked whether they included in drug labels in South Korea and United States of America (USA). Results: A total number of drug AE reports associated with all drugs in the KIDS-KD reported between January 2013 and December 2017 was 2,665,429. Among them, the number of AE reports associated with varenicline was 1,398. Eighteen meaningful signals of varenicline were detected that satisfied with the criteria of data-mining indices. Finally, two signals such as hypotonia, incorrected dose administered were not included in the drug labels. Conclusion: New AE signals of varenicline that were not listed on the drug labels in South Korea and USA were detected. However, further pharmacoepidemiological studies such as randomized controlled trial are needed to evaluate the causality of the signals of varenicline.
