This study intends to provide basic data to confirm the convergence effects of economic activity on the quality of life and oral health of middle-aged Korean women. Data from the 2019 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were used, and complex sample logistic regression analysis and linear regression analysis were performed to confirm the effect of economic activity on health-related quality of life (Korean Health-related Quality of Life Instrument with 8 Items; HINT-8) and oral health-related factors. As a result, in the case of controlling for demographic characteristics and economic activity, there was a significant effect in 4 items (energy, work, memory, sleep) out of HINT-8. When the oral health status was adjusted, there was a significant effect only in 2 items (working and memory) of HINT-8 (p<.05). Therefore, although economic activity of middle-aged Korean women has a positive effect on quality of life, it is considered to be valuable in that oral health status can reduce the influencing factors.

This is a study using data from the 8th National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey to identify the factors that affect the handgrip strength and health status in the elderly. Bivariate logistic regression analysis was performed on 1,470 subjects. As a result of this study, the decrease in grip strength was significantly lower for males, 70-74 or 65-69 years of age, and those who thought their subjective health status was normal or good. The decrease in grip strength was significantly higher when the education level was less than elementary school or middle school, and when the sleeping time was more than 8 hours. Considering the variables affecting hand grip strength, it can be used as basic data when establishing health policies for the elderly or health promotion policies to improve grip strength as a primary prevention activity.

The purpose of this study was to analyze factors affecting the health behaviors and Cardiovascular Disease and their effects on periodontitis by using data from the 6th KNHANES(2013~2015). The subjects were 19 years older who had Periodontitis and Cardiovascular Disease(hypertension, angina, myocardial infarction, stroke) The final 14,940 subjects were analyzed using SPSS (SPSS 23.0 Windows). Chi-quare test and complex sample logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the demographic characteristics, health behaviors, and Cardiovascular Disease and presence or absence of periodontitis. Results were related to hypertension, angina, myocardial infarction and stroke. The prevalence of periodontal disease was 0.684 times lower in the absence of hypertension. Men, age, education, pre-sleep brushing, floss and interdental toothbrushes were statistically significant. As a result, it is necessary to improve health behavior and systematic management of both diseases, and to help develop preventive education programs between diseases in the future.

This study was conducted to investigate the association between hyperuricemia and the risk of hypertension in Korean adult women using data from the 2019 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) 8th wave. Study subjects were 2,693 and descriptive analysis was used to investigate the general characteristics of the subjects. The effects of hyperuricemia on the risk of hypertension were evaluated using binomial logistic regression and it was shown that the risk of hypertension in the hyperuricemia group was higher than in the normal group (OR:1.94, p<.001), after adjusting socioeconomic factors (OR:1.81, p=.001) and even after additional adjustment for health behavioral factors, the risk of hypertension was high (OR:1.54, p=.019). Therefore, in order to prevent hypertension in adult women, it is necessary to develop programs and policies to effectively manage their uric acid levels.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between obesity and periodontitis by the number of pregnancy using the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey(2010-2015). Periodontitis measures the community periodontal index, and body mass index was used for the obesity. Socioeconomic variables and health-related behaviors were investigated. Periodontitis and obesity were higher in women with a high pregnancy frequency after controlling for confounding variables. In conclusion, periodontitis is closely related to obesity, and the association is somewhat higher as the number of pregnancies increases. Comprehensive management of obesity and periodontitis is effective in developing health promotion program for women in future, and this data will be used as basic data for development of women's health promotion program.

The purpose of this study attempted to provide basic data for the safety awareness intervention program by identifying smoking, drinking and safety awareness survey using raw data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES VIII-1, 2019). The self-reported questionnaire was used to assess the gender, age, smoking, drinking, and safety awareness. Descriptive statistics and chi-square test were used for the general characteristics according to gender and the difference between smoking and drinking. positive thinking, emotional expressivity, public speaking anxiety. The SPSS WIN 23.0 version program was used for data analysis. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Chi-square test were used for the general characteristics according to gender and the difference between smoking and drinking. There were significant difference between wearing a seat belt while driving and smoking for life (𝑥²=6581.46, p<.001). Among safety awareness, there was a statistically significant difference between wearing a seat belt while driving and lifelong drinking experience (𝑥²=6421.29, p<.001). It is considered that this can be used to prepare a customized smoking prevention education and alcohol prevention education intervention program to improve safety awareness.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the comparison between metabolic syndrome indicators and nutrient intakes in Korean menopausal women from the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examinations Survey data (2010~2012). Menopausal Status were classified into premature menopause(n=214) and natural menopause(n=2,546). Among the nutrient groups, retinol intake was a significant factor in natural menopausal women according to BMI levels and riboflavin intake was another significant factor in premature menopausal women according to fasting glucose levels. The results suggested that micronutrient including retinol, riboflavin, fiber and calcium were significantly associated with metabolic syndrome risk in Korean postmenopausal women. Further research is required for elucidating the association between nutrient intakes and incidence of metabolic syndrome in postmenopausal women within a large population in prospective studies.

This study is a secondary data analysis study that analyzed the data of the 8th Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey(2019) to identify factors that affect physical and mental health status according to the presence or absence of a spouse of the elderly. 𝜒² test, logistic and linear regression analysis were performed on 1,510 elderly aged 65 years or older. As a result of the study, general characteristics (gender, age, education level, household income) and health-related characteristics (smoking, drinking, and physical activity) were adjusted according to the spouse status. As a result, compared to those without a spouse, the probability of diagnosis of arthritis (OR=0.673, p=.010) and the Possibility of experiencing depression (OR=0.535, p=003) lower. It was confirmed that the quality of life was significantly higher (B=0.023, p=.040). The results of this study can be used as basic data to determine the factors that influence the health status of the elderly by existence of spouses.

This study aimed to assess trends in the prevalence, treatment, and control of diabetes according to the socio-economic level in Korean adults aged ${\geq}30$ years, using the 2007-2017 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data. Socio-economic status was assessed based on the household income. Multivariable logistic regression and predictive margins were used to evaluate the adjusted proportion of diabetes prevalence, awareness, treatment, and adequate glycemic control. During 2007-2017, the socio-economic inequalities on diabetes prevalence were observed in both men and women. However, the gradient of inequality increased only in men (p for interaction=0.034). Diabetes awareness, treatment, and control did not show socio-economic inequalities or increasing gradients in both sexes. Monitoring of these trends should be continued, and further research on effective interventions is needed.
