This study was attempted to investigate the possible association of osteoarthritis with the metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its components in Korean adults based on the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES). The prevalence of MetS was significantly increased in OA group in women. To investigate the association between the components for MetS and osteoarthritis, we analyzed the mean values of 5 components of MetS, waist circumference (WC), triglyceride (TG), HDL-cholesterol, systolic blood pressure, and fasting plasma glucose in normal and OA group. In women, WC, TG, HDL, and systolic blood pressure were associated with the development of OA. Moreover, accumulation of components of MetS was significantly related to the prevalence of OA in Korean men and women. These data suggest that MetS might be a novel risk factor for OA and MetS should be taken into account in the prevention and treatment of OA for Korean adults as well.

This study was a secondary analysis research using data from the Seventh Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES VII-2), 2017 to identify the relationships between obesity and physical activities and prevalence of osteoarthritis in menopause women. The subjects were 1,516 menopause women aged over 19 years who participated in the KNHANES VII-2, 2017. Data were downloaded from the KNHANES website and analysed through complex sampling design data analysis using IBM SPSS 21.0 program. Prevalence of osteoarthritis is 1.88 times higher in women with body mass index (BMI) above pre-obesity and non-abdominal obesity and 1.98 times higher in women with BMI above pre-obesity and abdominal obesity than in women with BMI normal or low weight and non-abdominal obesity. These results indicate that obesity prevention and management should be provided to prevention of osteoarthritis for menopause women and obesity should be considered body mass index and abdominal obesity.

This study was undertaken to determine the degree of quality of life, and factors influencing osteoarthritis in hypertensive elderly 65 years or older patients, using data from the 7th National Health and Nutrition Survey 2018. Totally, 843 subjects were included from a national sample. The SPSS WIN 26.0 program was used to analyze complex samples by applying the Rao-Scott chi-square test, t-test, and multiple regression analysis. Results indicate that quality of life of the hypertensive group with osteoarthritis is significantly lower than the group with only hypertension (t=5.07, p<0.001). Factors affecting the decrease in quality of life of the hypertensive group were age, subjective health status, and activity restrictions, and the explanatory power was 46.1% (F=12.33, p<0.001). In the hypertensive group with osteoarthritis, the effective factors included gender, cohabitation status, economic activity, subjective health status, activity restriction, body mass index, sleep time, stress perception, and depression, and the explanatory power was 44.6% (F=99.82, p<0.001). Subsequent studies showed that in order to improve the quality of life of hypertensive seniors, intervention programs are required to actively accommodate health conditions and minimize activity restrictions. In addition, for the elderly with osteoarthritis and hypertension, it is necessary to include exercise and nutrition education for body mass index management, and the development and intervention of multidisciplinary participation programs to strengthen mental health.

This study was conducted to examine the relationships between milk and milk product intake and bone health. The data from the 2008~2011 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) were used for data analysis. Subjects included 4,626 men and 6,144 women aged 19 to 64 years. Daily intake frequency of milk and milk products was obtained using a food frequency questionnaire and divided into two categories: less than one serving per day and more than one serving per day. Bone mineral density (BMD) values of total femur, femoral neck, and lumbar spine were compared based on daily intake frequency, and relationships between milk and milk product daily intake frequency and osteoporosis risk were evaluated based on logistic regression. In men aged 30~39, BMDs of total femur and femoral neck were significantly higher in the group that consumed milk more than one serving per day (P<0.05). Intake frequency of milk and milk products was also significantly related to both BMDs of total femur and femoral neck. The odds ratio (OR) for milk intake frequency (more than one serving per day) compared to intake frequency less than one serving per day was 0.36 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.21~0.62], and the OR for milk and milk products intake frequency (more than one serving per day) was 0.49 (95% CI 0.28~0.86) in women aged 50~64. These results indicate that increased consumption of milk and its products is associated with reduced risk of bone health disease, and adequate intakes of milk and milk products might play an important role in maintaining optimum bone health. Further research on the causal relationship and dose-response association between milk intake and bone heath using prospective cohort data is required prior to applying the observed results to programs that prevent bone health problems.

노년기에 들어서더라도 신체가 요구하는 기본적인 영양소는 변하지 않지만 열량 요구는 감소된다. 이는 젊었을 때보다 활동량이 적어지는 노년기의 환경적 원인과 함께 체질량 감소 및 상대적으로 증가하는 지방세포 때문이다. 지방세포는 비지방세포와 비교해 늦게 대사되며 칼로리도 신속히 소모되지 않는 특징이 있다. 노인일수록 모든 영양소를 골고루 섭취하되 열량은 줄이는 식습관을 형성하는 것이 중요한 이유가 여기에 있다.

In this study, PASW Statistics ver. 18.0 was used to analyze the correlation between chewing difficulty and osteoarthritis in the population of 8,498 persons aged 50 years and older who had completed the health related questionnaire in the fifth Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey in 2010~2012. The following conclusion was drawn: The distribution of the chewing difficulty status showed that 38.8% of the respondents had chewing difficulty and that there was no significant difference by gender. Older respondents tended to have significantly greater chewing difficulty 34.3% of the respondents aged from 50 to 64 years and 46.4% of those aged 65 years and older, those who had lower levels of education and income, who were smokers, and who had higher levels of depression and stress suffered from significantly greater chewing difficulty. Chewing difficulty and osteoarthritis were correlated with each other: the respondents having chewing difficulty had 1.44 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.23~1.70) higher prevalence of osteoarthritis than those with no such difficulty. In addition, such correlation was not found in males: the former had 1.36 (95% CI, 0.98~1.88) higher prevalence of osteoarthritis than the latter, which was not statistically significant. Such correlation was found in females: the former had 1.47 (95% CI, 1.22~1.76) higher prevalence of osteoarthritis than the latter, which was statistically significant. Therefore, the chewing difficulty status affected osteoarthritis for females aged 50 years and older. Therefore, the efforts to solve oral health problems through oral hygiene would help prevent osteoarthritis from worsening and manage the condition.

우리 주위에는 '어떤 음식이나 약을 먹으면 ○○에 좋다'는 것이 너무나 많습니다. 한 때는 토마토가 암을 예방한다고 해서 가격이 올라가기도 했었고, 스쿠알렌, 죽염, 알로에, 오가피, 동충하초 등 여러 가지 건강식품이 등장했다 이내 시들해지곤 합니다. 하지만 이런 건강기능식품을 제대로 알고 먹지 않으면 각 체질에 따라 좋은 반응과 나쁜 반응으로 작용할 수 있습니다. 대부분의 건강한 사람들은 골고루 음식을 먹으면 좋습니다. 그러나 정말 골고루 먹는 사람이 얼마나 될까요? 거의 없다고 해도 지나친 말은 아닙니다. 오히려 대부분의 사람들은 자신이 평소에 먹어왔고, 가족들이 자주 먹는 친숙한 음식만 먹고 있습니다. 60대 중반의 목소리가 우렁찬 할아버지가 진료실에 왔습니다. 그 분은 20대 때 베트남에 파병되었고, 약 3년간 미군들과 함께 생활하면서 매운 음식을 먹지 않게 되었는데 그 이후 위장병이 사라 졌으며, 지금까지도 김치를 물에 씻어서 먹고 있다고 했습니다. 이분의 체질은 소양인이었고, 매운 음식을 조심한 것이 만성 위장병을 치료하는데 결정적인 역할을 했다고 판단됩니다.
