The Comparison Study on the Serum and Dietary Ca, P Levels and Blood Pressure of Male Smokers and Non-smokers in Rural Community College
일부 지방대학 흡연 남자대학생과 비흡연 남자대학생의 혈청 및 식이 Ca, P섭취 수준 및 혈압의 비교 연구
Abstract
This study was performed to observe the levels of serum and dietary Ca and P, and blood pressure in rural university male students(smoker : 35 persons, non smoker : 32 persons), Three-day dietary record and blood samples were collected for measurements of the Ca and P levels of dietary intake and serum. The results were as follows: 1) There were no significant differences between smokers and non-smokers in terms of height, weight, and BMI. 2) Mean blood pressures on smokers and non-smokers were 131.33/93.75mmHg, 119.37/80.62mmHg, respectively. Blood pressure of smokers was higher than that of non-smokers (p<0.05). 3) There were no significant difference between smokers and non-smokers in calcium, phosphorus, and Ca/P ratio of dietary intake and serum. The results of this study suggest that non-smoking education programs for smokers including the information on the desirable food habits for prevention of hypertension should be developed.
