Purpose: The purpose of the study was to identify women's osteoporosis knowledge, concerns about osteoporosis factors, and health behavior as well as to examine the relationship between these variables. Methods: The participants were 394 women in the Jeonbuk area. The data were analyzed using a t-test, ANOVA, Duncan test, and hierarchical regression analysis with SPSS v. 24.0. Results: The score for osteoporosis knowledge was 6.21 points out of a possible 12, the score for concern about osteoporosis factors was 26.50 points out of a possible 40. The score for the health behavior was 57.26 points out of a possible 85. The knowledge showed significant differences according age (p < 0.01), income (p < 0.05), education level (p < 0.01), drinking milk in childhood (p < 0.05), health interest (p < 0.05), and osteoporosis information (p < 0.01). The concern showed significant differences according to age (p < 0.001), income (p < 0.05), health interest (p < 0.001), osteoporosis information (p < 0.001), family history of osteoporosis (p < 0.05), and calcium medications (p < 0.001). The health behavior showed significant differences according to age (p < 0.001), income (p < 0.01), drinking milk in childhood (p < 0.05), health interest (p < 0.001), osteoporosis information (p < 0.01), and calcium medications (p < 0.01). Regression analysis showed that the concern about osteoporosis factors was the most influential variable on health behavior, followed by health interest of the subjects, age, and the osteoporosis knowledge. Conclusion: Therefore, it is necessary to consider educational programs on increasing interest in osteoporosis according to the age and health for improving the health behavior to prevent osteoporosis.

As the average human lifespan has been extended, there has been a lot of interest in the quality of life of women after menopause. It is known that the average age of menopause among Korean women is 49.7 years, and the post-menopausal life of a woman takes up more than one third of her life. L-ascorbic acid (AsA) is known to be involved in the synthesis and maturation of collagen, a bone constituent protein. The aim of this review is to discuss the potential of AsA in bone health in postmenopausal women. AsA plays an important role in collagen biosynthesis, and collagen is a protein constituting bone and is a necessary material for calcification of the bone matrix. Collagen crosslinking is necessary for the stabilization and elasticity of collagen fibers during growth and matruation of animals, but an excessive increase is likely to lead to further aging because the movement of intercellular nutrients or waste is suppressed. AsA acts as a reducing agent to stabilize the immature collagen crosslinking and suppress pyridinoline production, a mature crosslinking. Therefore, AsA participates in collagen biosynthesis and helps bone tissue health, while regulating the excessive maturation of collagen crosslinking, it is expected to play an important role in bone-related problems that may occur in postmenopausal women.

인간은 각자가 자기의 건강을 돌보아야 한다. 현재의 건강을 유지하기 위해서는 무엇보다도 먼저 자기의 식생활관리를 철저히 하여야 한다. 식생활 관리가 소홀하거나 잘못되면 병에 걸린다. 설령 병중에 있다고 하여도 역시 식생활관리를 철저히 하는 것이 병치료의 기본이고 그리고 투약을 한다든지 기타의 처치를 받아서 병을 치료하게 된다. 그러므로 사람이 잘살기 위해서는 어느 때이든지 식생활 관리를 잘 해야 한다.

비만이 질병으로 간주되는 까닭은 뚱뚱함 그 자체가 당장 육체적 건강에 악영향을 주지 않을지 몰라도, 장차 심장질환, 당뇨병, 골관절염 등 다양한 건강상의 문제의 위험도를 높이기 때문이다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 체중 감량을 해야 하는데, 체중을 얼마나 줄일지, 어떤 방법을 사용해서 줄일지 등 이를 위한 세부적인 방법은 경우마다 다르다. 특히 그 사람의 나이는 적절한 체중감량 방법을 선택하는 데 있어서 중요한 고려 사항이 된다.
