This article is the result of the investigation on the actual condition of food preparation program carried out in elementary schools. Food preparation program belongs to the subject of ‘Shilgwa(Practice)’at elementary level. Though the result shows that instructors have no big problem in teaching theoretical part of the program, it is seriously doubtful whether students can acquire any scientifically practical knowledge which is able to be got through ‘practice’Only 4% of the investigated schools have cooking rooms, and even they have only very few cooking utensils or instruments. In spite of the importance of children’s earlier initiation into food preparation program, most schools are very poorly facilitated for education the program.

고도로 발전되는 현대과학은 시대의 흐름에 따라 우리의 생활문화를 급격히 변화시키고 있다. 물질의 풍요는 주위환경의 여건을 변화시키지만 인간의 지식 및 관리능력이이에 따르지 못하면 생활의 진정한 향상과 혁신은 실천될 수가 없다. 본 연찬회의 목적은 대학교육이 지역사회 개발에 직접적인 관련과 도움이 되기 위해 시행된 일련의 교도행사이다. 생활과학연찬회는 1978 년 11월 7일부터 9일까지 3일간 각 시도군의 생활지도사를 대상으로 의생활분야, 식생활분야, 주생활분야, 아동학분야의 강의와 실습을 통하여, 지역사회의 생활개선 지도방향을 교육 실시하였다. 금번에 가정대학이 실시한 연찬회 참여자들의 반응 및 의견을 종합해 볼 때 상당히 만족할 만한 것으로 나타났다. 그런 궁극적으로 생활과학의 보급은 더 넓은 범위와 지방민에까지 전달되어야만 더욱 효과적인 프로그램이 될 수 있다고 하겠다. 그렇게 되기 위해서는 우선 세분화되고 필요로 하는 교육내용에 관한 연구와 실제 응용할수 있는 기술 및 지식의 보급이 시급하다 하겠다. 특별히 지방인들이 과거보다 더 요구하는 영역은 주생활분야와 아동학분야이다. 또한 지도자들이 훈련을 받을 때 사용한 교재나 교구를 지방에 갖고 갈수 있게 다양하고 보다 자세한 자료의 개발 및 보급이 뒤따라야하겠다. 결과적으로 이번 연찬회는 성공적이었고 앞으로 위에서 제언된 몇 가지를 감안하여 정기적인 Program이 계속되어야하겠다.

Specially, the male students is in a critical situation than the females. Moreover, 66% of the students were very stressed out and it seemed to be continued for about 3days. The female students showed increase in the size of their meal when they were stressed, however the male students did not show difference on their meal. Most of the male students preferred to have alcohol & beverage when they are under lots of stress, and many females had sweets. The students in age 19~21 choose sweets, in 22~24 choose alcohol & beverage, and ages over 25 preferred spicy soup & stew. The students drunk alcohol & beverage for stress releasing never considering their monthly spending money. Many of the students said they worry about body weight after eating to get rid of stress, but they thought it is good for free from stress. The stress comes from worrying about their the past and the future life, or job & work. They release themselves from the stress listening to the music, sleeping or drinking alcohols. As a result, we need to provide them a nutrition education program that guide the students to improve their dietary life style.

Purpose: This study analyzes the association between depression, emotional eating, and dietary practices, and investigates the mediating effects of emotional eating between depression and dietary practice. Methods: A total of 345 women aged 40-59 years participated in the Seoul and Gyeonggido region. Assessments were achieved by self-reported questionnaires for emotional eating (Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire), Nutrition Quotients (NQ), and depression (Patient Health Questionnaire-9). Results: Analyzing the NQ scores by considering the depression group, revealed that compared to the normal group, balance, diversity, and eating behavior scores were lower in the depression group, whereas the moderation score was lower in the borderline depression group and depression group. The emotional eating scores were determined to be higher in the depression group than in the normal group. Partial correlation analysis between depression, emotional eating, and NQ revealed that depression is positively correlated with emotional eating and negatively correlated with all other factors of the nutrition quotient, balance, diversity, moderation, and eating behavior. Among the nutrition quotient factors considered, emotional eating was determined to be negatively correlated with both diversity and moderation. The bootstrapping method was applied to analyze the mediating effect of emotional eating for determining the association between depression and NQ. Results indicate that among the nutrition quotient factors evaluated using emotional eating as a medium, depression exerted a negative effect on moderation. Conclusion: Results of this study confirm that emotional eating, as a medium, affects the intake of unhealthy foods especially when depression is associated with dietary practices.

This study aimed at analyzing the food safety units of technology and home economics textbooks, as 'safety' emerged as a key concept in the 2015 revised curriculum. From each textbook, the main text, auxiliary elements(including tables, figures, etc.), and related activities were analyzed. According to the results, first, the main texts emphasized the importance of food selection(3.08 pages), food safety hazards(2.93 pages), safe storage and management of food(2.63 pages), and meal preparation with safety and hygiene(0.98 pages). Secondly, when the auxiliary elements were examined, the food safety content was most often presented in the form of tables/illustrations/pictures, followed by supplementary learning materials, activities, captions, end-of-chapter summaries, the chapter introduction and review quiz, and unit introduction. Thirdly, most activities were individual activities rather than small group or collective activities and were focused on investigation, evaluation, craft, application, implementation, inference and judgment, utilization, and proposition. In conclusion, it is recommended for textbooks to evenly distribute the content in the main texts and auxiliary elements, and include more group activities when developing textbooks in the future.

This study has researched and analyzed the relation among adolescents metabolic syndrome, dietary life, physical activity and mental health using $7^{th}$ National Nutrition Survey of $1^{st}$ year(2016) to provide the base data for the prevention of adolescent metabolic syndrome and the promotion of mental health. The subjects have been aimed at 13-18 year-old adolescents. The normal group consists of 201 males(56.4%) and 187 females(47.4%) and the adolescents with metabolic syndrome are composed of 9 males(56.4%) and 6 females(43.6%), totally 403 subjects. As a result of analyzing on the relation among adolescents' metabolic syndrome, dietary life, physical activity and mental health, the main influencing factors of metabolic syndrome are as follows. First, with regard to physical features, as BMI increases 1, the prevalence rate of metabolic syndrome multiplies 1.746 times. Second, when eating breakfast once to twice a week, the prevalence rate of metabolic syndrome decreases 0.87 times. Third, with regard to physical activity, as usual sitting hours a day increase 1 hour, the prevalence rate of metabolic syndrome multiplies 1.054 times. Fourth, the relation between metabolic syndrome and mental health of adolescents is not significant at all. Thus, the further study on metabolic syndrome focused on adolescents should be extended through the development of various variables of dietary life, physical activity and mental health focused on adolescents. In addition, the development of effective intervention program combining with dietary life, physical activity and mental health factors is necessary.

This study was conducted to investigate dietary attitude, and nutritional knowledge of middle school students in Gwangju and examine their perception and utilization of food labeling systems. The total and mean dietary attitude scores were 75 and 49.47, respectively. The total and mean nutrition knowledge scores were 15 and 10.88, respectively. Girls showed significantly higher nutrition knowledge than boys (p<0.01). Overall, 62.9% of respondents checked food labeling, and there were significant differences in dietary attitudes among groups that did and did not checking labeling (p<0.001), with higher dietary attitude being associated with checking the label. Moreover, higher nutritional knowledge was associated with checking the food label. Individuals who checked the food label considered the expiration date (54.9%), product name (14.4%) and price (10.2%). The main reasons for checking food labeling were (in descending order) to confirm the expiration date (61.6%), determine the ingredients and nutritional information, learn how to store the product, and compare the price and weight with other products. The overall satisfaction with the food labeling system was 16.20 out of 30, and significant differences (p<0.001) were observed among individuals with high, moderate and low dietary attitudes, as indicated by satisfaction scores of 17.54, 16.32 and 14.86, respectively. Individuals with high, moderate and low dietary attitudes had nutritional knowledge scores of 15.79, 16.08, and 17.08 respectively. The overall score for understanding nutrition labeling was 4.71 out of 7, and the understanding differed significantly among groups (p<0.01), with those with moderate food attitudes having the highest score.

This study was conducted to investigate causes for health problems among college women by analyzing factors related to their dietary habits, physical development, health habits, and blood parameters. The subjects were ages 20 to 24 years, lived in the Seoul area and were randomly selected during March, 2008 to August, 2009. The average height and weight of the overall subjects were $162.02{\pm}4.89\;cm$ and $53.96{\pm}7.00\;kg$, respectively. According to a 3-point assessment scale for the subjects' dietary habits, the average point value was 21.2. The percentage of subjects that ate breakfast daily was only 30.5%, and they omitted regular meals at least once a week. Approximately 83.5% of the subjects reported eating out often or frequently, and preferred Korean foods when they ate out. The subjects had interim meals (snacks) one or two times daily, and 40.4% of them preferred unbalanced meals. As their interim meals, among the 'good' group, ate breaded potatoes (39.3%), carbonated beverages, and ice cream (36.8%), whereas the 'poor' group, drank milk and ate dairy products (38.0%) as well as fast food and fried food (22.8%). Intakes of energy, fat, vitamins $B_2$ and $B_6$, niacin, folic acid, calcium, iron, zinc, and phosphorus were higher in the 'poor' group. The average hemoglobin level ($13.77{\pm}1.00\;g/dL$) among the subjects was within normal range; while 2.7% of subjects had hemoglobin levels under 11.1 g/dL (standard value) and were examined as anemic. The degree of interest in health was 24.5% higher among the subjects who had poor dietary habits. In contrast, among those who had good dietary habits, 49.6% reported they had no interest in regular exercise. The subjects reported that regular meals, nutrient intake, sufficient rest, and sleep as necessary to maintain health. The average amount of sleep obtained by the subjects was 6~8 hours. Among the 'poor' group, 36.2% reported that they exercised regularly, whereas 18.5% of the subjects in the 'good' group reported regular exercise (p<0.05). In conclusion, it appears necessary to provide nutrition education through teaching and to promote nutrition and health to college women so they can control their individual health status and create practicable dietary plans.
