This study examined the effects of Korean language levels and years of residence in Korea of marriage-immigrant mothers on their parenting behaviors. It also examined the mediating roles of parenting knowledge and acculturation patterns. To do this, this paper made use of data collected from 130 mothers participating in Multicultural Family Support Centers. The main findings are as follows. First, parenting knowledge did not mediate Korean language levels as well as years of residence in Korea and parenting behaviors. Second, years of residence in Korea indirectly affected parenting behaviors through the acculturation patterns of integration and assimilation but did not appear to do so directly. Third, Korean language levels did not have a linear relationship with acculturation. Fourth, higher Korean language levels were correlated with higher levels of overprotection of children.

Water and salt budgets in the Yellow Sea and Bohai are analyzed based on the historical data and CTD data collected recently using box models. The amounts of volume transport and of water exchange across the boundary between the Yellow and East China Seas are estimated to be 2,330-2,840 $\textrm{km}^3$/yr and 109-133 $\textrm{km}^3$/yr, respectively, from the one-layer box model. Corresponding water residence time is 5-6 years. In the Bohai, water residence time is twice as long as that in the Yellow Sea, suggesting that the Yellow Sea and Bohai cannot be considered as a single system in the view of water and salt budgets. The results indicate that water and salt budgets in the Yellow Sea depend almost only on the water exchange between the Yellow and East China Seas. The computation with the coupled two-layer model shows that water residence time is slightly decreased to 4-5 years for the Yellow Sea. In order to reduce uncertainties for the budgeting results the amount of the discharge from the Changjiang that enters into the Yellow Sea, the vertical advection and vertical mixing fluxes across the layer interface have to be quantified. The decreasing trend of the annual Yellow River outflow is likely to result that water residence time is much longer than the current state, especially for the Bohai. The completion of the Three Gorges dam on the Changjiang may be change the water and salt budgets in the Yellow Sea. It is expected that cutting back the discharge from the Changjiang by 10% through the dam would increase water residence time by about 10%.

The progress of urbanization has been accelerated by the development of machinery after the Industrial Revolution and the speed of change has been increased after the invention of computers. However, the problem of residence, the space for human life in the city, is still not complete. Ever since apartments rose as a solution for the residential problem caused by urbanization after the 1970s and now after 30 years, remodelling is preferred among the 2 choices, reconstruction and remodelling of apartments, in respect of economy and efficiency. Especially, in remodelling collective residence, construction, equipment environment, sight, etc. are considered and only after testing these various aspects can remodelling succeed. Aiming at studying the need of visual identity among many considerations in remodelling, this study investigates and analyzes the remodelling cases of domestic and overseas common residence and suggests the need of visual identity. In Korea where construction design for common residence is monotonous, expressing visual identity can be even more important. The common residence area that symbolizes its unique characteristic will elevate not only its economic value but also the psychological value of its residents.

This study was conducted to investigate the dietary adaptation and use of the university foodservice (UF) in Korea according to the residence period of foreign students. The average length of residence in Korea of t he subjects was 8.2 months. The period of residence was divided into quartiles: 1-4 months in the first quartile (average 2.2 months), 5-7 months in the second quartile (average 6.3 months), 8 months in the third quartile, and 9-66 months in the fourth quartile (average 18.3 months). The regularity of meals tended to be the highest in the 1st quartile and lowest in the 2nd quartile and then increased in the 3rd and 4th quartiles. The frequency of consumption of delivery food and convenience store food was lowest in the first quartile and highest in the second quartile and then decreased with the period of residence. The frequency of night eating increased according to the period of residence after the second quartile. The degree of adaptation to Korean foods was highest in the first quartile. The use of the university cafeteria was significantly higher in the 1st and 4th quartiles than in the 2nd and 3rd quartiles (p<0.05, p<0.01, respectively). The satisfaction with the UF decreased as the residence period increased. Based on these results, since international students are very positive and try to adapt to the dietary life in Korea in their early years of studying in Korea, it would be desirable to intensively support them to adjust to their dietary life at this time. In addition, since it takes about 18 months or more to assimilate the Korean food culture and show positive changes, it is necessary to continuously operate the Korean food culture adaptation program for international students over this period.

The purpose of this study was to examine the dietary attitudes and meal management of married immigrant women according to residence period in Korea. The study was conducted by administering a questionnaire survey to 220 married immigrant women in Korea. More than one third of the immigrant women who stayed in Korea less than 3 years tended to eat a limited variety of foods. Irregularity of meal time decreased as residence time period increased (P<0.05). As immigrant women stayed longer in Korea, they became more responsible for the diet of their family (P<0.001) and had more time to share breakfast and dinner with all family members (P<0.05). Nearly half of immigrant women in all residence periods indicated their husband's family as the most influential factor in acquiring Korean foods (P<0.05). Immigrant women became more familiar with Korean cooking and recognition of nutritious foods (P<0.001) the longer they lived in Korea and more enjoyable meal times with family (P<0.05). In summary, as the period of residence in Korea increased, the dietary attitudes of immigrant women became more positive towards Korean food and diet culture. Further, immigrant women became more responsible for guiding children's dietary habits and offering healthy foods to their family as residence period increased. Therefore, the government and social programs should conduct constant and organized lessons on Korean culture and cooking according to residence period for immigrant women to build up stable and positive dietary attitudes.

Background: Edentulism is associated with socioeconomic status, rural residence, and chronic disease, but no studies have investigated edentulism and residence factors together. All information that drives a better understanding of the factors related to edentulism plays an important role in the planning and delivery of appropriate dental services for the elderly by national and oral health professionals. This study was designed to investigate the prevalence of edentulism in adults aged over 60 years in Korea and to examine whether there are differences in dentate status between people living in urban and rural areas after controlling for sociodemographic and other related factors. Methods: The data for this study were collected from 2013 to 2015 as part of the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey VI, those individuals aged over 60 years and who had complete datasets were included (5,071). The number of teeth and residence status were categorized into two groups: edentate and dentate (1 or more); urban and rural. Multiple multivariate logistic regression analyses were sequentially applied to assess the association between dentate status and residence status after adjusting for potential confounders. Results: Rural areas, lower household income, and lower education levels were associated with a higher edentate rate. The number of teeth was lower in rural areas than in urban areas. After adjusting for various factors, statistically significant associations were present for women, low household income, low education level, poor perceived health status, and alcohol consumption in participants. Conclusion: Elders living in rural areas had poorer oral health than elders living in urban areas. The government will need to provide effective systems for promoting oral health for elders living in rural areas.

Purpose: This study compared health behaviors between single-member and multiple-member households by gender in adults. Method: Study subjects were 21,757 adults 20-65-years-of-age from the Third Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey in 2005. The relationship between health behaviors and residence characteristics was assessed using multiple logistic regression analysis while controlling for sociodemographic characteristics. Results: Younger women living alone were more likely to drink than older women living with others. Women who were in multiple-member households and had a low income were less likely to exercise regularly, to sleep well, and to have regular health examinations. Age, educational level, and income were significantly associated with smoking, exercise, and health examination rather than residence characteristics in men. Conclusion: Residence characteristics should be considered in developing a public health program to reduce or increase modifiable health behaviors as well as age, gender, education, and income.

본 연구는 광주지역에 거주하는 결혼이주여성 83명을 대상으로 일반적 특성, 신체 계측 및 혈압측정, 식품 및 영양소 섭취량을 조사하여 결혼이주 여성의 영양섭취상태 및 건강 관련 요인을 파악하기 위해 수행되었다. 연구대상자의 평균연령은 31세였으며 한국 평균거주기간은 5.3년이었고 연령 분포는 20~29세가 40명 (48.2%), 30~49세가 43명 (51.8%) 이었다. 조사대상자의 평균체중은 53.7 kg, 평균 신장은 156.3 cm 였으며, 거주기간이 5년 이상인 그룹이 5년 미만인 그룹에 비해 체중, BMI, 체지방률, 이완기 혈압 등이 유의적으로 높았다. 24시간 회상법을 통해 식품군 섭취량을 분석한 결과 20~29세 그룹에 비해 30~49세 그룹의 채소류 섭취량이 유의적으로 높았으나, 국민건강영양조사에 의한 같은 연령대의 우리나라 여성과 비교하면 과일류, 육류, 당류 섭취량이 낮고 계란류, 어패류, 우유 및 유제품류의 섭취량이 높은 편이었다. 영양소 섭취상태를 살펴보면 총 에너지섭취량은 1,641.0 kcal였으며 20대 조사대상자의 85.0%가 에너지필요 추정량 이하로 에너지를 섭취하였으며, 30~40대의 76.7%가 에너지필요추정량 이하로 섭취하였고, 칼슘, 아연, 비타민 A, 비타민 $B_6$, 비타민 C, 엽산 등은 조사대상자의 50% 이상이 평균필요량 미만으로 섭취하였다. 20대 그룹에 비해 30~40대 그룹이 비만한 경향을 나타냈으나 식품섭취량에 차이가 없었으며, 오히려 채소 섭취량이 유의적으로 많았으며 식생활과의 관련성이 적었다. 조사대상자를 거주기간으로 구분하여 비교하면 거주기간이 5년 이하인 그룹이 5년 이상 거주 그룹에 비해 콜레스테롤의 섭취량이 유의적으로 높았으며, 콜레스테롤 섭취량이 계란이나 우유와 상관관계가 있는 것으로 조사되었다. 본 연구대상자의 평균 연령은 30세로 비교적 젊고 건강하여 한국 이주 후의 식생활 변화에 의한 건강상의 변화에 큰 영향이 나타나지는 않은 것으로 생각된다. 우리나라 결혼이주여성의 영양섭취상태는 사회 경제적 여건 등과 같은 다양한 요인에 의해 영향을 받기 때문에 결혼이주 여성의 올바른 식생활 정착 및 다양하고 경제적이며 건강한 식품선택을 위한 교육이 필요함을 알 수 있었다. 특히 결혼 이주 여성의 식생활에 영향을 미치는 다양한 요인에 대응할 수 있는 맞춤형 교육이 필요하며, 인터넷 등의 교육매체를 적극 활용해야 될 것으로 생각된다. 주부의 건강한 식품선택과 올바른 영양관리는 가족전체의 식품섭취와 영양상태에 직접 영향을 미치며 건강한 사회의 초석이 되므로 결혼이주여성에 대한 장기적이고 적극적인 영양교육이 필요하다.

As of November 1st 2010, 59% of overall residences in Korea are apartments with 8,185,000 households and when including the multi-unit houses, 71.0% of the overall residences are multifamily houses. The apartments have become the most universal form of residence in Korea and its' relative weight will continuously increase in the future. Meanwhile, Korea has turned into aging society in 2000 and will turn into the super-aged society by 2026 to display the world's fastest speed for aging. Majority of the elderly will spend their declining years in apartments. To understand the residence consciousness and its' properties for unit housing of the elderly residing in apartments, the present study obtained the following results through surveying the 541 nationwide samples. First, the elderly most prefer the mid and high levels(6-9th floors, or 10-15th floors) of apartments. Second, the elderly couples most prefer areas of $85m^2$ while single elderly most prefer $60m^2$. Third, the elderly feel the most inconveniences in bathrooms and showers. Fourth, safety accidents in dwelling of the elderly have no significant correlation with age, gender or their possessed diseases. Fifth, the elderly displayed high satisfaction for their bedrooms. Sixth, there were less tendencies for elderly to feel lack of storage spaces or conduct remodeling. As a result of the analysis, all apartment houses of Korea must support the physical aging of residents and prevent safety accidents in houses to enable Korean aging in place.

Strongyloides stercoralis infection is not endemic in the Republic of Korea (Korea) with a positivity rate of <1% in stool examination. However, there is a risk of hyperinfection in immunosuppressed individuals. It is necessary to determine the seropositivity of S. stercoralis antibodies in Korea. This study investigated the seropositivity of S. stercoralis antibodies in the southeastern area of Korea. From January 2019 to June 2021, serum samples were collected from participants who visited the study center in the southeastern region of Korea for routine health check-ups. We determined serum levels of specific anti-Strongyloides IgG antibodies in 834 samples by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. We observed that 92 samples (11.0%) tested showed a positive response. The age of the participants was 51±10.7 years, and 43.4% of them were men. The antibody positivity rate based on the location of the participants' residence were 12.3% (Gyoungsangnam-do), 10.2% (Busan), and 10.1% (Ulsan), respectively. Total eosinophil count was associated with positive test results (154.8±152.0 per mm³ versus 202.1±178.9 per mm³, P=0.006). Logistic regression analysis revealed that blood eosinophil count, age above 50 years, and residence in Sacheon were factors associated with the positive status of S. stercoralis antibody. Our finding suggests that it is necessary to test for S. stercoralis in actual clinical settings in Korea.
