In the U.S. where Direct-to-Consumer Advertising (DTCA) of prescription medications is permitted, spending on DTCA has been accelerating. As a result, it has been an issue of intense public policy attention regarding whether DTCA is beneficial to the public by promoting a healthy lifestyle. Most of the literature concerning DTCA focuses on its impact on demand and empirical evidence regarding its impact on health-related behavior is scant. This study uses a database of DTCAs for high blood cholesterol, hypertension, diabetes, and overweight treatment medications that have appeared in nationally circulated U.S. consumer magazines during 2000 to 2004 and the Simmons National Consumer Survey in order to compute the level of individual advertising exposure and examines whether those who are exposed to DTCA are more likely to engage in regular exercise and diet control. The study finds evidence that for those with chronic conditions, greater exposure to DTCA leads to less exercise but more diet control. By therapeutic class level, exposure to DTCA leads to less exercise for those with hypertension and who are overweight, whereas those with high blood cholesterol are more likely to engage in regular exercise. Looking into differential responses by socioeconomic status, those with less education are more likely to engage in exercise after being exposed to DTCA. The results imply that the effects of DTCA vary by therapeutic class. In order to enhance the benefits of DTCA, it is important to closely monitor the messages in DTCA and require it to include messages that promote lifestyle change should it be a part of the treatment.

본 연구는 국내 성인들의 만성 피로증상과 건강행태와의 관련요인을 파악하기 위해 시도하였다. 자료수집은 2011년 6월 8일부터 2011년 7월 13일까지 서울에 소재한 종합병원 내과에 내원한 환자군 37명, 대조군 111명을 대상으로 설문 및 면접조사를 하였다. 연구결과는 첫째, 운동여부는 정기적으로 운동하는 경우 남성환자군은 26.7%로 대조군의 42.2%보다 낮았으며 여성환자군도 22.7%로 대조군의 31.8%보다 낮은 분포를 보였다. 둘째, 남성의 경우 사회적요인은 45.18배의 위험비를 보였으며 유의한 것으로 나타났다. 여성의 경우 신체적 요인은 237.1배, 가정적 요인은 140.6배의 위험비를 보였으며 유의하였다. 이러한 결과를 토대로 만성피로를 예방하기 위해서는 규칙적인 생활, 건전한 생활리듬을 유지하며 취미생활등을 통해 심신의 만성피로 스트레스를 해소하는 것이 중요할 것으로 본다.

This study aimed to maximize the effectiveness of motionbeat rhythm exercise on obese women and its applicability in all fields of sports. In addition, this study aimed to propose a plan to promote continuous exercise for people to incorporate as a means to improve healthy lifestyle. The results showed several effects of EEG on health promoting behaviors. Electroencephalogram (Alpha Power) of the left prefrontal cortex showed to have a significant effect on health promotion activities, with respect to stress management, in the motion beat rhythm exercise group. Considering all research findings, we found that the 8-week motion beat exercise can be used as an appropriate and effective social sport program for overweight women as it brings forth positive changes in the prefrontal cortex that maximizes the pleasantness of and interest in health promotion activities relating to stress management. Moreover, we suggest that it can be a method to create an environment for overweight people to continuously participate in exercises by providing results from fun and relaxingactivities, rather than just creating simple physical effects.

오래 사는 것 보다 건강을 유지하며 사는 것을 더욱 중요시하는 시대에 한국인이 가장 조심해야 할 질병은 암. 우리나라 국민들이 평균수명까지 생존할 경우 암에 걸릴 확률은 남자 27.7%, 여자 22.2%로 국민 3명 당 1명은 암에 걸릴 수 있다. 그러나 암은 금연, 균형 잡힌 식단, 꾸준한 운동 등 생활 습관을 올바르게 유지함으로써 예방 할 수 있고, 초기에 발견하면 치료 확률도 높다.

There were statistically significant differences in the health promoting lifestyle according to the frequency of physical activities, frequency of hobbies or social activities and menstruation state. There were significant positive correlations between health promoting lifestyle and self-esteem, anger-control and social support. Negative correlations were found between health promoting lifestyle and depression, anger-in and anger-out. Self-esteem, social support, frequency of physical activities and frequency of hobbies or social activities were predictors of a health promoting lifestyle. Nurses should focus on factors identified in this study when developing nursing interventions to improve a health promoting lifestyle for middle-aged women.

This study was conducted with the elderly who used a senior welfare center to help their health improvement. After the status of body composition, senior fitness, life habits, and nutrition levels in the elderly were investigated, a wellness health improvement program was conducted for 12 weeks. Effects before and after the program were examined. The following conclusions were drawn. 1. For the changes of body composition by age associated with sex, while elderly men had a significant difference in BMI, elderly women had a significant difference in B.M.I and body fat percentage. 2. For the changes of senior fitness by age associated with sex, while elderly men had a significant difference in lower body muscle, upper body muscle, upper body flexibility, and transformed general endurance, elderly women had a significant difference in lower body muscle and upper body muscle. 3. For the changes of life habits and nutrition levels by age associated with sex, while elderly men had a significant difference in diet habits and exercise habits, elderly women had a significant difference in exercise habits, stress relief habits, and total nutrition level. Based on the findings, the elderly's participation in the wellness improvement program can enhance lower body muscle which is a risk factor of daily activities and fall and increase upper body muscle which is good to carry and move everyday objects. In addition, it may play a positive role in improving diet habits and changing stress relief and exercise habits, resulting in better health and quality of life of the elderly.
