This study aims to discover the relations between physical activities and metabolic syndrome in postmenopausal women, in order to present basic data for health promotion of patients with metabolic syndrome. Based on Year 2 data of the 4th Korean National Health Nutrition Examination Survey, this study discovered that the prevalence rate of metabolic syndrome of the Korean women at the menopause was significantly higher as they got older and they had less physical activities. To keep their health and prevent from metabolic syndrome, it is suggested that further research is needed to develop physical activity programs for which preferences of patients and their restrictions are considered and verify the effects.

건강은 누구에게나 중요한 것이지만, 육체적인 노동을 주로 해야하는 농민들에게 있어 건강은 재산목록 1호가 아닐 수 없다. 그러나 우리 사회의 여건은, 이들의 재산목록 1호를 제대로 보장해 줄수 없는 실정이어서 관련자들의 안타까움은 말로 표현할 수가 없다. 이런 상황속에서 마산시농협은 조합원들에게 건강검사를 실시하고 있어 농민들의 갈증을 조금이나마 풀어주고 있다. '88년 조합원 신체검사를 시작으로 해서, 충분한 재원이 확보되면 종합검사를 실시하겠다는 이들의 포부를 건강검사의 현장에서 들어봤다.

건강이란 신체적, 정신적, 사회적으로 완전히 양호한 상태에 있는 것을 뜻하며, 단순히 병이 없다든지 허약하지 않은 것을 말하는 것이 아니다. 다시 말해, 건강이라 함은 삶의 질에 공헌하는 최적의 안녕(well-being)을 의미하며, 질병이나 고통으로부터 자유로운 것을 말한다. 질병이나 고통으로부터 자유로운 것은 좋은 건강을 유지하고 향상시키는데 있어서 매우 중요하다. 최적의 건강은(optimal health) 높은 수준의 정신적, 사회적, 감정적 및 육체적인 상태를 의미하며, 각 개인의 유전적이거나 장애적인 상태도 포함한다. 건강한 생활을 하기 위한 조건으로 규칙적인 생활과 충분한 휴식, 적당한 운동, 적당한 영양, 쾌적한 환경이 중요하다.

Objectives : This study aimed to investigate the risk factors of depression for patients with tuberculosis(TB). Methods : A total of 57 patients with TB were recruited. All participants completed the Becks Depression Inventory-II for evaluating depressive symptoms. The risk factor for depression was analyzed by binary logistic regression analysis. Nomogram was performed for probability of depression. Results : Low body mass index(BMI, OR 0.801, 95% CI 0.65, 0.98), interruption of treatment for TB(OR 5.908, 95% CI 1.19, 29.41), past history of depression(OR 24.653, 95% CI 1.99, 308.44) were associated with increased risk for depression. The calibration curve for predicting probability of survival showed a good agreement between the nomogram and actual observation(Original C-index=0.789, bias corrected C-index=0.754). Conclusions : The result of the present study indicate that low BMI, interruption of treatment for TB, and past history of depression were risk factors for depression in patients with TB. The psychiatric intervention may be needed to prevent depression if the patients with TB have risk factor during treatment for TB.

By 2025, South Korea is expected to enter an ultra-aged society with the elderly comprising 20.6% of the population. We measured changes in health status before and after by the use of a "Cognition-Emotion Enhancement Chatbot Integrated Product" among Baby Boomer generation women. Fifty participants, proficient in smart device usage and willing to provide data, were selected from health communities in Seoul. After excluding some applicants, 43 Baby Boomer women were analyzed. Results revealed significant differences in post-chatbot use physical activity (43.5.21 ± 1310.39 MET) and depression levels (6.84 ± 3.53). Correlation between the two variables was not statistically significant. The findings suggest specific effects of the chatbot on physical activity and depression, emphasizing the need for future research with diverse health indicators.

우리나라에서 현행되고 있는 학교보건의 현황을 요약하면 다음과 같다. (1) 교육청의 지시로 일관되는 현행 학교보건은 적절히 잘 시행하는 곳도 몇 학교 있지만 대부분의 학교에서는 학교보건에 대한 관심이 적어서 교육청의 지시사항이 잘 시행되고 있지 않다. (2) 이를 시정할 수 있는 방안으로 각학교의 책임자와 양호교사에게 학생들의 건강에 대한 재교육으로 그 중요성을 재강조할 것과, 교육위원회 수시로 시행되는 학교보건에 관한 교육청의 지도와 평가가 요망된다. (3) 교육청에서는 그 조직산하에 학교보건위원회를 두고, 그 위원회를 각분야의 대학교수들로 구성해서 학교보건에 관한 사업내용을 정하고, 그에 걸맞는 예산을 현실에 맞게 세워서 예산의 뒷받침 아래서 학교보건을 시행하여야 할 것이다. (4) 학교보건에는 종전에 해오던 신체적 건강 이외에 실제적으로 필요하는 정신건강과 정서안정을 위한 개별상담도 사업내용에 포함시킬 필요가 있다. (5) 학교보건을 보다 건전하게 하기 위해서는 국민학교 입학시에 입학원서와 더불어 기본 예방접종 필증과 건강기록부를 제출하도록 하면 학교에서 학생들 보건관리를 보다 쉽고 이상적으로 할 수 있을 것이다.

남성도 갱년기를 겪는다. 중년 여성의 전유물로 여겨졌던 갱년기가 남성에게도 나타나는 것이다. 40세 이후 남성의 신체기능 저하는 최근까지 자연적인 노화현상으로 치부됐다. 그러나 평균수명의 연장과 의학의 발달 등으로 건강한 노년 생활에 대한 욕구가 커지면서 남성의 갱년기 증상이 발견되기 시작했다. 특히 20대에 최고조로 증가하는 남성 호르몬(테스토스테론)이 점차 줄어들다가 40~55세 사이에 급격히 감소하면서 여러 가지 신체적, 정신적, 심리적 변화가 나타난다. 남성호르몬 감소의 첫 번째 징후는 부부관계에 관심이 없어지고, 좀 더 진행되면 만성피로를 느끼고 얼굴이 달아오르거나 식은 땀을 흘리며 손발이 저리기도 하다. 그리고 감정이 잘 조절되지 않아 사소한 일에도 짜증을 내게 되는데, 남성 호르몬 부족 때문에 나타나는 이러한 증상들을‘남성 갱년기’라 한다. 이번 호에서는 서울아산병원 비뇨기과 안태영 교수와 성의학클리닉 연구소 강동우 전문의의 도움으로 남성 갱년기에 관해 자세히 알아본다.

빈혈의 유병률은 매년 증가하고 있으나 이를 가벼운 질병으로 인식해 치료 시기를 놓치는 환자들이 존재한다. 빈혈의 발생원인으로 혈액 내 헤모글로빈 및 헤모글로빈 내 철 부족이 있으며, 헤모글로빈 측정기술의 경우 채혈 이외에 사람의 신체 및 건강 정보를 적용한 사례는 찾아보기 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 신체(키, 몸무게 및 허리둘레) 및 건강 정보(혈청지오티, 이완기 혈압 및 감마지티피 등)가 포함된 건강검진 빅데이터를 이용하여 단일 특징에 대해 선형회귀분석을 수행하고, 다중 특징에 대해 다중회귀분석을 수행하여 회귀분석 식을 산출, 산출된 회귀분석 식을 통해 헤모글로빈을 추정하여 실제 헤모글로빈값과 오차율을 계산하고 비교한다. 실험 결과, 선형회귀분석 식을 통해 헤모글로빈을 추정하였을 때 평균 8.124%의 오차율이 계산되었으며, 다중회귀분석의 경우 선형회귀분석보다 낮은 6.767%의 오차율이 계산되었다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the dietary behavior, health-related lifestyles and nutrient intake status of college students according to physical activity levels. The physical activity levels were measured using the Korean version of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) short form. The subjects of this study were 438 college students (243 males and 195 females) in Incheon area and were divided by gender and by physical activity levels, which included low, moderate and high physical activity groups. The average age of male and female students were 23.7 and 21.0 years old, respectively. The prevalence of the low physical activity group was 11.5% for males and 30.8% for females and that of the high physical activity group was 38.7% for males and 22.6% for females. According to the criteria for obesity in Asia-Pacific region, 39.1% of the males and 64.1% of the female students investigated were in the normal range of BMI and 30.9% of the males and 4.6% of the female students were in the obesity category. However, percent of body fat in the female students was significantly higher than that of the male students. The soft lean mass of the high physical activity group was higher compared to the other groups. In the low physical activity group, frequency of “eating out” was lower compared to the other groups. The average consumption of energy was 74.4% for males and 80.1% for females of the estimated energy requirement (EER). The mean intakes of vitamin C, vitamin B2, folic acid and Ca were 67.3%, 84%, 52.7% and 36.7% for males and 64.8%, 99.9%, 51.1% and 40.1% for females of recommended intake (RI), respectively. Therefore, it was necessary for obesity prevention as well as health promotion to increase physical activity and to eat an adequate, balanced diet in female college students.

Objectives: This study was done to find out fatigue and self-reported physical symptoms of Vinylhouse farmers. The results of this study could be used as a basic data to develop health promotion program for Vinylhouse farmers who are suffering from fatigue and physical symptoms. Methods: The 166 respondents, who were working in Vinylhouse and were living in a remoted area where the primary health post located, were participated in this study. Thirty: 30 items of self-reported fatigue scale was used to evaluate the farmers fatigue level which made by Japanese industrial and hygenic association(1988). Twenty four: 24 items of index used by researcher for self-reported physical symptoms was from Lee In Bae's(1999) modified Index which was originated from Cornell Medical Index(1949). Another questionnaires used in this study were developed by researcher through related documents. Results: The results of this study were as follows; Fatigue scores were high in accordance with women(t=-2.212, p<0.05), worse recognized health state(F=20.610, p<.001), lack of sleeping hours(F=3.937, p<0.05), eat irregularly(t=-3.883, p<0.001), don't take a bath after application of chemical(t=-2.950, p<0.01), working time per a day(F=5.633, p<0.01) & working time per a day in Vinylhouse(F=5.247, p<0.01) were long. Subjective physical symptoms were high in accordance with women(t=-3.176, p<0.01), worse recognized health state(F=35.335, p<0.001), and low education(F=3.467, p<0.05). eat irregularly(t=-3.384, p<0.01), alcohol drinking(t=-2.389, p<0.05). When farmers don't take a bath after application of chemical show high(t=-3.188, p<0.01). As a result, the factors affecting to Vinylhouse worker's health were irregular diet habit, scarce exercise, lack of proper rest, symptoms oriented from Vinylhouse work in contaminated environment with high temperature and humidity. Conclusions: Based on this study, health promotion program is necessary for Vinylhouse workers. Also, the development of continuously practical strategy of healthy life style including exercise and comprehensive health promotion program considered the country's social and cultural background are needed.
