The purpose of this study was to compare dietary and lifestyle habits in middle-aged women based on their self-perceived health-related physical fitness (SPF) level as well as investigate the effects of dietary and lifestyle habits on SPF. The study subjects were divided into two groups, 'High' group (${\geq}3.2$, n=64) and 'Low' group (<3.2, n=69), based on average SPF value (3.2). Women in the 'High' group showed a greater lean mass (P<0.05), whereas women in the 'Low' group had higher triglycerides (P<0.05). In analyzing characteristics of lifestyle habits, it was found that the 'High' group showed significantly higher scores for 'vitality level (P<0.001)', 'self-rated health status (P<0.001)', 'regular medical checkups (P<0.05)', and 'regular exercise (P<0.05)'. The average score for dietary habits was significantly high in the 'High' group (P<0.05). Furthermore, ordinary dietary habits showed a significant positive correlation (P<0.001) with SPF in the regression analysis after adjusting for disturbance factors. From these results, ordinary desirable dietary habits were shown to be an important factors having positive effects SPF. Therefore, healthy dietary and lifestyle habits should be practiced to improve the SPF of middle-aged women. For this purpose, related educational programs should be developed for the middle-aged women to take interest in their dietary habits.

The purposes of this study were to analyze mothers' eating, cooking, and exercise habits based on their demographic characteristics and to examine the relationship between those habits and their late school-aged children's Broca index. A total of 393 questionnaires were mailed to the mothers of late school-aged children who registered at four elementary schools in the Seoul area, of which 159 participants (40.0%) completed questionnaires. Statistical data analyses were performed using SPSS/Win 21.0 for descriptive statistics, t-test ANOVA, and Pearson's regression coefficient. There was a statistically significant difference in mothers' cooking habit (F=3.920, P=0.022) and exercise habit (F=3.211, P=0.043) according to their educational level. Interestingly, 82.4% of mothers had a Broca index of less than 90% of normal body mass level. A significant positive correlation of Broca index between mothers and their late school-aged children (r=0.345, P<0.001) indicated that children whose mothers had a low body mass level also tended to have a low body mass level. In this study, late school-aged children's Broca index was not significantly related with mother's eating (r=-0.072, P=0.367) or exercise habits (r=-0.010, P=0.897) but was significantly related with their mother's cooking habits (r=-0.157, P=0.048). Considering there are few studies examining the impacts of mother's cooking habits on their children's appropriate body mass, the results suggest that developing an effective educational program to cultivate mothers' healthy cooking habits to improve school-aged children's health status is very important. The findings of this study provide important data that could be used when developing health education programs tailored to the multi-dimensional impacts of mothers' life habits on their last school-aged children's developmental health status.

본 연구는 대장암 환자들의 암으로 진단받은 당시의 생활습관 실태를 암 병력이 없는 일반 성인들과 비교해봄으로써 대장암의 발생에 영향을 미치는 위험요인을 규명하고자 실시되었다. 연구 설계: 대장암 환자의 생활습관 실태를 파악하고, 대장암 발생에 영향을 미치는 인자를 확인하기 위하여 대장암 환자와 암 진단을 받지 않은 건강인을 대상으로 시도된 후향적 비교 조사연구(retrospective comparison survey study). 연구 대상자는 2011년 10월부터 2012년 8월까지 대장암으로 진단된지 1년 이내로 J대학교병원 내의 암전문연구센터에 내원한 대장암 환자 107명과 동 시기에 동 병원을 방문한 암환자 아닌 환자의 보호자 중 암진단을 받지 않은 일반 성인을 대상으로 빈도 짝찟기를 통해 연령, 성별 및 배우자 상태 등이 동질한 124명이었다. 연구 도구는 김화영(2011)의 생활습관 측정도구(Content Validity Index [CVI], Mean expert proportion=0.98) 를 저자의 승인 하에 사용하였으며, 관련문헌을 참조하여 수정 보완한 후 식습관, 음주 및 흡연 습관, 휴식 및 활동 습관, 스트레스 관리 및 정기검진습관 등의 5개 하위영역으로 측정하였다. 연구결과 인스턴트식품 섭취여부, 스트레스 해소정도, 육류 익힌정도(살짝 익힘/탈정도로 익힘) 및 평소 주로 먹는 음식(채식/육식 여부)이 대장암 발생에 유의한 영향을 미치는 요인으로 나타났다. 대장암환자군과 건강인군의 생활습관을 비교한 본 연구의 결과를 토대로 하여, 평소 식습관에서 인스턴트식품 등의 가공식품의 섭취를 줄이고, 스트레스가 발생(인지)될 때 이를 효과적으로 조절할 수 있도록 하며, 육류섭취 시 살짝 익혀서 먹는 습관이 실천되어야 할 것이다. 또한 평소에 육류 섭취를 줄이고 섬유질이 많은 채식 위주로 식사하도록 권장해야 할 것이다.

Objectives: This study was to examine those life style factors which could affect the changes of health status indices such as ADL and IADL of the Elderly living in rural community. Methods: The subjects of the study were 1,295 elderly people of age over 65 years living in Gyungbook Sung-Ju area selected by random sampling for one month at October 1996. After 4 years, the follow-up study in those subjects were performed, ADL, IADL and general characteristics were measured. Those subjects who had shown high functional health status in first investigation were measured as how their health were changed in relation with their general characteristics and life styles in second investigation. Results: The factor analysis were performed in life style questions, and 6 factors composed of 15 questions of all were selected as the indices of life style. For ADL level, logistic regression analysis, age and educational level in men, and age and economic status in women had significant relation with health status change. Among life style factors, diet factor in men and diet factor, social activity factor in women were found to be significantly related. For IADL level, simple analysis showed that age in men and age, education level in women among general characteristics had related with health status change. Among life style factors, diet factor, stress relieving factor were related in women when general characteristics were also controlled diet factor, stress relieving factor were related in women. Conclusions: In order to prevent functional health status altering in the elderly, it is recommended that the intervention which could promote healthy life styles such as good diet habit, active social participation, and pertinent stress relieving should be considered.

This study investigated the differences in skin-related habits and skin health behavior according to the gender in college students. The questionnaire surveyed four category on general characteristics, skin-related habits, cosmetic use, and skin care habits. As a result, there were significant differences between gender in smoking(χ²=19.58, p=0.000) and exercise(χ²=17.59, p=0.001) habits. In all categories of cosmetics use, there were significant differences between gender. But both male and female college students were the highest in the 'Not used' and 'Less than once a week" in functional cosmetics, essence, nutritional cream, eye cream, mask pack and deep cleansing items. whereas, there were significant differences between gender in use of sun cream(χ²=31.20, p=0.000). The results of this study showed there were differences in gender according to the survey items. However, female college students were overall better than male college students in skin care.

보다 건강하게, 그리고 기왕이면 젊음을 좀 더 오래 유지하면서 살기를 원한다면, 무엇보다도 올바른 생활습관을 갖는 일이 우선되어져야 한다. 그런데 대부분의 사람들이 건강생활은 어떻게 하는 것인지 기본적인 상식은 갖고 있지만 구체적인 방법, 특히 연령 · 계층별로 어떤 방법으로 생활해야 하는지에 대해서는 잘 알지 못한다. 짧지 않은 역사를 가진 서울의대 체력과학노화연구소는 바로 이러한 연령계층별 건강교육용 프로그램, 특히 장 노년층 대상의 프로그램을 개발하고 일선 건강관리요원, 보건관련 연구자를 대상으로 교육을 실시해 온 곳이다. 내년부터는 일반인을 위해 교육프로그램을 보급할 계획도 갖고 있는 연구소의 활동은 아직 일반인에게 많이 알려져 있지는 않지만, 앞으로 보다 젊고 건강하게, 보다 긍정적인 삶을 원하는 사람들에게 많은 도움이 될 것으로 기대된다.
