In this study, we examined chewing frequency, eating rates, and food consumption volume according to the body mass index of male and female college students. Twenty-five male college students were divided into a normal weight male group (<23 body mass index, n=14) and an obese male group (${\geq}23$ body mass index, n=11). Twenty-five female college students were divided into a normal weight female group (<23 body mass index, n=21) and an obese female group (${\geq}23$ body mass index, n=4). Subjects were provided with abundant fried rice and allowed to consume it at their own pace. Chewing frequency, total mealtime, rate of eating, consumption volume, calorie intake, and the amount of one bite were measured. There were no significant differences in chewing frequency, total mealtime, rate of eating, consumption volume, calorie intake, and the amount of one bite between the normal and obese male groups. There were also no significant differences in chewing frequency, consumption volume, calorie intake, and the amount of one bite between the normal and obese female groups. However, the obese female group had a significantly shorter mealtime and significantly higher eating rate compared with the normal group. Thus, our study suggests that females who eat a meal for a longer time may reduce their food intake, consequently inducing body weight loss.

This study was performed to investigate the effect of breakfast regularity on eating habits, nutritional and health status in adult men and women. Also, eating habites and nutritional status expressed as percentage of recommended energy intake in IB(Irregular Breakfast group) were studied. Proportions of IB in men and women was 23.7% and 31.1%, respectively. In men, IB had irregular mealtime, overeating tendency. Also, they consumed high-fat meat and alcohol more frequently than RB (Regular Breakfast group). Total energy intake showed no significant difference between which two groups. Energy intakes from dinner and alcohol were higher in IB than in RB. Nutrient and food intakes were lower in IB than in RB. Percent body fat of IB was higher than that of RB. Weight, triglyceride and prevalence of fatty liver were higher in IB than in RB. In women, IB had irregular mealtime, and overeating tendency. Also, they had more frequent eating out and alcohol consumption. Total energy intake was lower in IB than in RB. In men, nutrient and food intakes were lower in IB than in RB. But health status showed no significant differences between two groups. In men, energy intakes from alchol and dinner were higher in +RDA group(percentage to recommended energy > 125%) than in other groups of IB. But energy intake from carbohydrate was lower in +RDA group. -RDA group (percentage to recommended energy < 75%) had Ca and vitamin A intake less than RDA. In women, +RDA group had overeating tendency. Also, they had more frequent eating out, high-fat meat, and alcohol consumption than other groups of IB. Energy intakes from dinner, snack and fat were higher in +RDA group. But -RDA group had protein and vitamin A intake less than RDA. From our study, it seemed that breakfast irregularity led to undesirable eating habits and had relation with increase of percent body fat. Breakfast regularity seemed to be very important to maintain a nutritional balance.

본 연구에서는 어린이집 급식시간에 관찰되는 영유아의 바람직하지 않은 식사행동과 이에 대한 보육교사의 식사지도 방법을 조사하기 위하여 서울시 금천구의 보육교사 169명을 대상으로 2013년 12월에 설문조사를 실시하였으며, 조사결과를 담당 영유아연령으로 구분하여 분석하였다. 본 연구결과, 조사대상 보육교사 중 59.2%는 승급교육 및 직무연수 등의 의무교육을 통해 식생활 교육을 수강한 것 이외에 별도의 교육을 수강한 경험이 없다고 하였다. 영양 및 위생 관련 지식점수는 30점 만점에 평균 14.6점이었다. 보육교사는 급식시간에 관찰되는 여러 식행동 중 '영유아가 돌아다니면서 음식을 먹는 행동'이 가장 바람직하지 않다고 응답하였으며 '영유아가 음식 또는 수저 등을 가지고 장난치는 행동'이 가장 빈번하게 나타난다고 하였다. '영유아가 돌아다니면서 음식을 먹는 행동 (p < 0.05)'은 담당 영유아연령에 따라 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었다. 급식시간에 관찰되는 영유아의 바람직하지 않은 식사행동에 대해 보육교사의 식사지도 방법을 조사한 결과, '영유아의 음식을 남기는 행동 (p < 0.05)' 및 '영유아가 식사 후 식사도구 등을 정리하지 않는 행동 (p < 0.05)'에 대해 수행하는 식사지도 방법이 담당 영유아연령에 따라 통계적 차이를 보였다. '영유아가 음식을 남기는 행동'에 대해서 영아반 담당교사는 '칭찬 (34.6%)' 및 '영유아의 의사에 맡김(24.6%)'으로, 유아반 담당교사는 '설명 (38.5%)' 및 '칭찬(35.9%)'으로 식사지도 하는 경우가 많았으며, 식사 후 식사도구 등을 정리하지 않는 행동을 할 때, 유아반 담당교사의 61.5%가 '설명'의 방법으로 식사지도를 수행하였으며, 영아반 담당교사는 '설명 (33.1%)'이외에 '칭찬 (33.8%)', '모델링 (23.1%)'으로 식사지도를 수행하였다. 응답자가 근무하는 87.6%의 어린이집은 가정통신문 (45.0%)을 발송하거나 간담회 (21.9%)를 실시하여 영유아의 식사지도에 대해 가정과 상호작용하고 있는 것으로 조사되었다. 본 연구는 어린이집의 보육교사에게 직접 관찰이 아닌 설문조사를 통하여 영유아의 바람직하지 않은 식사행동 및 이에 대한 식사지도 방법을 파악하여 실제 보육교사가 수행하고 있는 식사지도 방법과 차이가 있을 수 있다. 그러나 본 연구는 어린이집 급식시간에 관찰되는 영유아의 바람직하지 않은 식사행동과 이에 대한 보육교사의 식사지도 방법에 대한 실태를 파악하였다는 점에서 의의가 있으며, 본 연구결과는 어린이집에서 실시하는 식사지도에 대한 지침 및 프로그램 개발 시 기초자료로 활용 될 수 있다.

본 연구에서는 보육교사의 배식관리 및 식사지도에 대한 중요도와 수행도를 파악하기 위하여 서울시 금천구의 어린이집에 근무하고 있는 보육교사 179명을 대상으로 2013년 12월에 설문조사를 실시하였다. 응답한 어린이집의 유형은 가정 어린이집 (39.7%), 민간 어린이집 (31.8%), 국공립 어린이집 (28.5%) 순으로 많았다. 요인분석 결과, 보육교사가 수행하는 배식관리 및 식사지도는 '개인 위생관리 (요인 1)', '식사지도 (요인 2)', '식재료 위생관리 (요인 3)', '맞춤형 배식 서비스 (요인 4)'의 총 4개의 요인, 11개의 항목으로 추출되었다. 보육교사는 '배식 시 위생모를 착용한다', '배식 시 일회용 장갑을 착용한다' 등의 요인 1 (개인위생관리)과 관련한 항목에 대한 중요도를 가장 낮게 인지하고 있었으며 수행도도 가장 낮았다, 반면 '영유아의 연령을 고려하여 음식을 잘라서 배식한다', '영유아의 연령별로 1인 분량을 달리하여 배식한다'의 요인 4 (맞춤형 배식서비스)와 관련된 항목에 대한 중요도를 가장 높게 인지하고 있었고 수행도도 가장 높았다. 중요도-수행도 분석 결과, 중요도와 수행도가 모두 높은 1사분면에는 '영유아의 식습관을 격려하고 칭찬한다', '식사 전 후 감사인사를 한다', '영유아와 함께 앉아 식사한다' 및 '영유아의 연령을 고려하여 음식을 잘라서 배식한다'의 4개 항목이 포함되어 있었다. 이에 비해 중요도와 수행도가 모두 낮은 3사분면에는 '배식 시 위생모를 착용한다', '배식 시 일회용 장갑을 사용한다', '배식 시 배식용 앞치마를 착용한다', '영유아의 연령별로 1인 분량을 달리하여 배식한다'의 4개 항목이 포함되어 있었다. 중요도는 낮다고 인지하고 있으나 수행도는 높은 4사분면에는 '조리 완료 후 2시간 이내에 배식한다', '먹다 남은 우유 (분유)를 바로 버린다', '식사 중 영유아의 이름을 부르며 대화한다'가 포함되어 있었다. 본 연구결과, 전반적으로 보육교사는 배식과 관련한 정부 지침에 대해 중요하다고 인식하고 있었으며 현장에서 이를 수행하고 있는 것으로 파악되었다. 그러나 보육교사는 배식 시의 개인 위생관리 및 식재료 위생관리에 대해서는 중요하다고 인지하는 정도가 맞춤형 배식 서비스에 비해 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 특히 개인 위생관리는 중요도뿐만 아니라 수행도도 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 이에 보육교사를 대상으로 개인 위생관리의 중요성에 대한 교육이 실시 되어야 하며, 특히 배식 시의 위생적인 복장 착용에 대한 주제로 한 교육이 필요할 것으로 생각된다. 또한 보육교사가 이를 실천할 수 있는 어린이집의 급식 환경 마련이 필요할 것으로 생각된다. 이를 위해 정부 및 관련 기관에서는 보육교사를 대상으로 한 위생교육을 지속적으로 제공하고 교육 이론을 현장에 적용할 수 있도록 환경을 조성해야 한다.

This study was carried out to know the food habits of 200 persons, 89 males and 111 females, aged 60 years and over from June 13 to July 2, 1977 in Seoul. The results are summarized as follows: 1. Changes of the food preferences The preferences about foods after 60 years of age showed in lower scores of dislikes than those before and, however, were not significantly changed. Beef was the item which 75% of the subjects liked and was the highest in desire to eat, Likes for hot, salty, and sour taste except sweet were diminished but they generally liked hot or sweet food rather than sour or salty one and also warm dish rather than cold one. A majority of them wanted to have their meals cook more soft and tender. 2. Intakes of foods The average consumptions of the basic food groups per capita per day were 475.5g of males .and 431.8g of females for cereals and grains, 119.6g and 103.6g for meats add legumes, 221.7g and 216. lg for fruits and vegetables, 52.6g and 39.4g for milk and small fishes, and 5.0g and 4.7g for fats and oils. 3. Intakes of calorie and nutrients The percentage contributions of three nutrients, carbohydrate, protein, and fats to the total amounts of calories were 75.9, 12.4, and 11.7% of mates and 75.6, 12.4, and 12.0% of females. Women had a slightly higher percentage of caloric intake to RDA than men who didn't satisfy RDA. The subjects revealed an insufficient protein intake as well as calcium. Therefore, many older people have to be convinced of the importance of milk for both nutrients. The mean ratios for iron, niacin, and thiamin intake were higher than RDA and on the contrary. those for riboflavin, vitamin A, and ascorbic acid intake were below RDA. It seems necessary, for the aged to maintain good state of health, to promote their appetite, and to take regular mealtime because difficulty of teeth, illness, irregular mealtime, and loss of appetite had influence on less intakes of calorie and nutrients.

Much of the working population in developing countries are engaged in shift work now and the number of shift workers is not expected to decrease in the future mostly because the need for continuity of production is increasing. Therefore, the possible effects of shift work on health are of particular interest, and in fact, there have been many epidemiological studies on shift work since the first world war. However, no studies on health effects of shift work have been reported in Korea, and the existing studies in western world have arrived at quite different conclusions mainly because the conditions of work other than shift work, such as age and selection of workers, work environment, and labor conditions also influence the health of workers. This study was firstly carried out in Korea to investigate the health risks related to shift work with 2,093 female workers randomly selected from three major manufacturing industries in proportion to total number of female workers in those industries. Differences of work conditions other than shift work in this study were adjusted by multivariate analysis. Ma findings obtained from this study are as follows : 1. There were significant differences between shift and day workers in the distribution of age, type of industry, condition of noise and dust, regularity of mealtime, working position, and working duration. Shift workers tended to be younger, to have shorter working duration, to have more irregular mealtime, to work in standing position, and to work under more noisy and dusty environment than day workers. 2. Univariate analysis showed that shift work increased the Todai Health Index (THI) scores of digestive tract, respiratory tract, and mental instability symptom categories. Shift work also increased days of sickness absence and number of industrial accident per 100 workers per month. 3. Multivariate analysis that adjusted the differences of demographic, occupational and non-occupational health-related working conditions showed that digestive tract symptom and mental instability symptom scores were significantly higher in shift workers than those in day workers. Based on these study results, it is concluded that the shift work has significant effects on some psychophysiological conditions of the workers and the effects are also influenced by several other personal and working conditions.

To investigate the relationship between eating behavior and the prevalence of adolescents drug abuse and smoking, this survey was conducted among 349 male students(mean age ; 16.0 $\pm$0.9yrs) at technical high schools in Kyunggi-Do. It was shown that 58.7% of total subjects were smoking and 11.2% were abusing drugs. Drug abusers weighed Less than non-abusers especially, student smokers were 2.7kg lighter than non-smokers despite the same height. Although parents' education showed no relationship with drug abuse, educational level of student smokers' fathers was significantly lower than that of non-smokers' fathers. Drug abusers and smokers showed significantly higher incidence of runaway from home, absence from school without notice, and parents' divorce than non-abusers and non-smokers. Drugs abused were sleeping pills(n=20), bonds and butane gas(n=9), marijuana(n=3), tranquilizer(n=3), morphine and cocaine(n=2), and pep pills like amphetamine(n=2) 76.9% of the drug abusers had their first experience in junior high school and 81% of the smokers stared smoking as early as in junior high school. Also, 44% of the smokers reported that they smoke daily. The drug abusers tended to have more irregular eating habits than the non-abusers. The smokers showed irregular mealtime, ate either too fast or too slow, and especially, often skipped lunch or dinner. The drug abusers and smokers took little vegetable in their meals and often ate bread or noodles instead of rice for staples. In addition, they preferred taste to nutrition when they had meals. The smokers tended to ingest smaller amount of calcium source such as milk or dinner food and fish with bone although they consume more volume of total foods than the non-smokers. All subjects took less in calorie, calcium, iron, vitamin A, vitamin E, riboflavin, and folic acid than the Recommended Dietary Allowance Those findings suggest that drug abuse and smoking cause bad eating habits that influence unbalanced nutritional state. Therefore, nutrition education should be provided to the adolescents so that they can recognize the disadvantages of drug and smoking and its relation to dietary relation.

As the level of life improves, the pattern of beverage comsumption are being changed. We came to drink more beverage than ever before, and I think, the remarkable increase of beverage consumption will have a great effect on our health. We examined the drinking pattern of 447 middle school and high school students in Taejeon City from 24 to 29, May, 1989. We studied about the amount of drinking beverage and the correlation between the amount and the various factors to have effects on the amount. They usually drink total 604.6ml/day, water 292.8ml, soft drink 131.8ml, milk 109.2ml, fruit juice 26.1ml, vegetable juice 9.6ml, coffee & tea 21.7ml, korean tea 15.4ml. Beside, middle school students drink 654.4ml and high school students drink 560.7ml. The male drink 620.1ml and the female drink 589.2ml. The average amount of beverage consumption per a unit weight is total 13.3ml and middle school students (654.3ml) drink more than high school students (560.7ml) but the average amount is same between the male and the female. They usually drink 343.5ml of beverage at their homes, and they drink more at their homes than away from homes. In addition, at the correlation between the amount of drinking beverage and the various factor to have effects on the amount, the students who have snacks very often drink more than those who don't. And the students who like meat-diet drink much more than meat & vagetabe-diet persons and vegetorians. And the students who eat pread often drink more than those who have rice at every mealtime.

The current socioeconomic climate has meant more children spend more time alone at home even for dining. This study was performed to characterize modem Korean childrens´food ecology based on mealtime atmosphere. A total of 705 elementary school students, 347 girls and 358 boys took part in the study. They were chosen evenly from the Seoul metropolitan areas, provincial cities, or rural areas, and were asked to fill out a questionnaire. The questionnaire was categorized to determine various factors related to food ecology, life styles, and health related symptoms. The average age of the study subjects was 11.5 years. The average height, weight, body mass index, and Rohrer index were 143.2cm, 37.6kg, 18.2 and 127.2 respectively. A significant number of children(39.2%) answered their bed time was between 11 and 12 pm. Only 28.3% answered that the whole family has breakfast together, and 47.7% have dinner together. A considerable number of children, 17.8% for breakfast and 6.9% for dinner, answered they eat alone. Most of the children answered they like to have dinner with the whole family. Half of the children answered they do not feel hungry before having breakfast. Proportions of children for their favorite meal time were 66.8%, and 25.4% and 7.8% for dinner, school lunch, and breakfast respectively. The largest proportions of children, 53.3% and 68.7%, have breakfast and dinner at home. Most of the children(75.2%) never purchase their dinner. Forty two% of the children answered they like school lunch, however, 60% of children answered they leave portions of lunch uneaten occasionally or always. Only 38.0% and 46.2% of the children have nutritionally adequate diet for breakfast and dinner. Children having more meals with the whole family possessed a more positive attitude towards breakfast compared to the children who eat with the whole family less frequently. In conclusion, Korea children are exposed to different health threatening food ecology problems related to changing environments, and consistent concern and support from community nutritionists are required.
