This study aimed to investigate the relationship between sleep duration and periodontitis in adult Korean women. This cross-sectional study was based on the 2014 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHNES). We selected the data from 3,292 women (over 19 years of age) out of 7,550 participants for analysis, after excluding data from men. Complex logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the effect of sleep duration on the risk of periodontitis; the crude and adjusted odds ratios (ORs) were calculated. The risk of periodontitis was higher in participants who had a sleep duration of 7 hours or more, than in those with less than 7 hours (crude OR) by 1.37 times (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.13~1.65). The adjusted OR of the participants after adjusting for the sample characteristics of the participants (age, education level, income level, diabetes, hypertension, obesity) was 1.04 times (95% CI, 0.82~1.32), but the risk for periodontitis was slightly higher, though not statistically significant. This study confirmed the relationship between sleep duration and the risk of periodontitis in Korean women. Therefore, it is necessary to develop and implement a comprehensive health promotion program that can improve the proper sleeping habits of adult women in Korea and to combine oral hygiene management programs to prevent periodontal disease.

The survey was conducted to look out the characteristics of menstruation and it's management, menstrual attitudes and degree of dysmenorrhea in the adult women. The subjects were 601 women, aged 20 year old and over, selected by convenient sampling. The results were as follows; 1. The mean age of the subjects was 29.1 years, the subjects were consisted of 346 unmarried and 304 delivery experienced person. 2. The characteristics of menstruation were as follows ; irregular 167 person(27.8%), painful 451 person(75%), mean score of pain was 5.9 point and first day was most severe(45.1%). On the while, they have used the method to manage the pain such as "endure 50.8%", "to have a medicine 31.5%". 3. Menstrual attitudes were as follows; attitudes was negative such as it was meaningful as a woman (78.9%), only for birth a baby (51.6%), and menstruation was acceptable (42.9%), hope to get away(28.8%). 4. The degree of dysmenorrhea was a significant difference by age(F=4.0, P<0.01). Especially, in the subcategory, it was significant except for water retension. That is, lower concent ration(F=2.60, p<0.05), negative affect(F=3.09, p<0.05), behavior change(F=6.41, p<0.050), pain(F=3.89, p<0.01), autonomic nerve response(F=2.80, p<0.05). We can conclude there were many women to have negative attitudes to menstruation and first day was most severe dysmenorrhea and it was different by age. From this results, we may suggest as follows; 1. We suggest the program for women to have a positive attitudes will be developed. 2. We can suggest that we need to develop the active and effective method to control dysmenorrhea in the first day during menstruation.

브래지어(Brassiere)는 유방을 중심으로 흉부를 감싸주는 여성용 파운데이션으로 브라(bra), 업리프트(uplipt), 밴도(bandeau)라고도 한다. 또한 브래지어는 유방을 받쳐주고 보호하며, 가슴의 모양을 교정해서 상의의 이상적인 실루엣을 조성해 주는 구실을 한다. 이러한 브래지어는 청결 보호뿐만 아니라 신체보정의 중요한 역할을 하고 있는 여성의 필수적인 속옷으로 최근 현대인들의 생활양식 변화와 소비수준의 향상으로 신체균형에 대한 인식이 대두되면서 아름다운 체형에 대한 관심과 욕구가 강해지고 이로 인해 보정과 기능성을 겸비한 브래지어에 대한 필요성이 대두되고 있는 실정이다.

최근 서구화된 생활습관과 만성퇴행성 질환으로 비만이 증가하고 있다. 1996년 세계보건기구에서는 비만을 치료해야 할 질병으로 규정하였고 체중감량은 비만인의 질병의 치료, 성인병의 예방 차원에서도 바람직하다고 볼 수 있다. 그러나 최근 건강에 대한 관심도가 증가하고 다이어트 산업이 성장하면서 매스컴의 영향에 의해 지나치게 마른 것을 선호하는 사회분위기가 조성되어 젊은 여성들이 신체에 자신감을 갖지 못하고 다양한 체중조절을 시도하고 있어 무분별한 다이어트로 인한 건강상의 문제가 지적되고 있다.(중략)

Purpose: This study was done to investigate the prevalence and factors affecting body shape misperception among Korean adult women. Methods: We analyzed raw data from the fourth Korean Longitudinal Survey of Women and Families, for 7,658 women over 20 years of age. For the multiple logistic regression model, the dependent variable was existence of misperception (yes/no). Results: The prevalence of body shape misperception was 42.6% (overestimation 6.5%, underestimation 36.1%). Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that age, education level, marital status, economic status and BMI were significantly associated with body shape underestimation. Education level and BMI were significantly associated with body shape overestimation. Conclusion: An effective obesity intervention program for women must reflect and monitor body shape perception as well as BMI.

This study analyzed the influence of Korean adults sleep time on psychological symptoms, suicidal ideation and attempts considering gender differences. The data was collected from the community health survey in 2017 with 228,381 people. When categorizing them into male and female, logistic regression analysis was conducted and the main analysis results are as follows. First, there are more women with shorter or longer sleep time than men. Second, in case of shorter sleep time (5 hours and less), stress, depression, and the suicidal ideation rates were high while suicidal attempts were higher in case of sleep greater than 9 hours and more. Third, in case of men, based on 6~8 hours of sleep time, people with shorter sleep time showed higher stress (1.84 times), depression (1.98), suicidal ideation (1.88), and attempts (2.38). People with 9 hours and more sleep showed greater depression (1.79), suicidal ideation (1.96) and attempts (2.39). Fourth, in the case of women, people with shorter sleep time showed greater stress (2.09), depression (1.94), suicidal ideation (1.96), and attempts (2.90). People with longer sleep showed greater depression (1.39), suicidal ideation (1.45) and attempts (1.71). Fifth, people's stress with greater sleep for both genders was higher than that of people with normal sleep. but there was no significant difference. Further prospective studies are needed on specific sleep dysfunctions effects on suicidal ideation and attempts.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop a smartphone application and evaluate it's effectiveness and usability for promoting bone health in Korean young adult women. Methods: A smartphone application was developed covering exercise, nutrition, and health habits related to bone health. A pilot testing was conducted using a one-group pre/posttest design. A total of 22 female college students with low bone mass participated in the 8-week use of a pilot testing. Results: The "Strong bone Fit body (SbFb)" application was developed using Android platform. In the pilot testing, bone mineral density, serum CTX, and 25 (OH)Vit.D were significantly decreased. There is no significant change in serum osteocalcin and calcium. Serum phosphorus concentration, nutrient intakes (fiber, VitB6, and pantotenic acid), and all bone composition profiles were significantly increased. Bone-health knowledge was significantly increased but no change in health belief and self-efficacy. Conclusion: The results of this pilot testing suggest the effectiveness of the SbFb application to enhance and promote self-managing abilities for bone health. It can provide continuous feedback and high-quality bone health information. However, some contents and working methods of the application need to be modified and its effectiveness on bone health requires further investigations.

Purpose: This study is to study sleep disorder, sleep pattern, and depression in adult women, and to offer basic data for a program of the improvement of women's health and nursing intervention. Method: A structured questionnaire was carried out from September 1, 2001 to October 30, 2001 on the subject of 441 females, who are above 18 years old and lived in Seoul. This research tool measured insomnia with APA's insomnia scale(1994), sleep pattern and sleep disorder factors scale(Shin et al(1999)'s), and depression with Radloff's CES-D scale (1977). The data were analyzed with a SPSS program for descriptive statistics, ${\chi}^2-test$, and t-test. Result: The result were as follows; 1) 35.1% of all participants have insomnia. 2) Sleep disorder group appeared shorter($50.98{\pm}29.41min$.) than normal group($73.03{\pm}38.7min$.) in daytime sleepiness(p=0.001). 3) Factors of sleep disorder were stress(76.6%), worry(55.6%), without reason(39.6%), and noise outside(37.4%). 4) In relation between sleep disorder and depression, group with sleep disorder($20.20{\pm}11.06$) marked higher depression score than normal group($14.25{\pm}8.81$)(p<0.0001). Conclusion: Based upon these finding, sleep disorder in adult women was influenced by psychological factors, group with sleep disorder showed a higher depression score than normal group, and which indicated correlation with sleep disorder and depression. This study shows that nursing intervention on women's sleep disorder and depression is needed and further research be done to verify the results.
