The purpose of this study was to identify the effect of nutrition related factors on mortality risk among community-residing older adults in Korea. We analyzed data from 8,532 older adults who took part in the 2008 living profiles of older people survey and 2011 death mortality data. According to Cox regression analysis, male (Hazard Ratio [HR], 2.03; 95% Confidence Interval [CI], 1.74~2.37), diabetes mellitus (HR, 1.35; 95% CI, 1.12~1.64), underweighted (HR, 2.68; 95% CI, 2.16~3.31), dysphagia (HR, 1.23; 95% CI, 1.02~1.47), chewing ability (HR, 1.33; 95% CI, 1.11~1.59), and undernutrition (HR, 1.47; 95% CI, 1.23~1.75) significantly affected mortality risk. Systematic nutrition support programs should be developed to decrease the mortality among Korean older adults.

This study examined the effects of 'Dietary education for children's health UP' (DECHUP) on the changes in knowledge, attitudes, and practice (KAP) of nutrition and food safety in $5^{th}$ grade elementary school students in Incheon. The DECHUP program was conducted from May to October 2018 and consisted of education and activities focusing on the children's levels of understanding. Data were collected before, immediately after, and 6 weeks after DECHUP using the same method. All data were analyzed using SPSS ver 20.0. The level of knowledge and attitudes of the subjects to nutrition and food safety was significantly higher after than before DECHUP, but the attitude of boys did not show any significant difference after 6 weeks. Although there were no significant differences in the behavior for nutrition in the practice of the subjects, there were significant positive changes in the behavior of food safety. The higher the satisfaction of DECHUP, the more positive the change in knowledge, and the more positive the attitude and practice behaviors. Therefore, DECHUP has positive effects on the KAP of the subjects, and it will be helpful for elementary school students to form desirable eating habits if it can be carried out periodically and continuously.

Objectives: This study compared the nutritional intakes of early and late preterm infants in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and at home. The dietary problems and the need for community care services for premature infants were further investigated. Methods: This is a cross-sectional and descriptive study on 125 preterm infants and their parents (Early preterm n = 70, Late preterm n = 55). The data were collected by surveying the parents of preterm infants and from hospital medical records. Results: No significant differences were obtained between the early and late preterm infant groups when considering the proportion of feeding types in the NICU and at home. Early preterm infants were fed with a greater amount of additional calories at home and had more hours of tube feeding (P = 0.022). Most preterm infants had feeding problems. However, there was no significant difference between early and late preterm infants in the mental pain of parents, sleeping, feeding, and weaning problems at home. Many parents of preterm babies had no external support, and more than half the parents required community care to take care of their preterm babies. Conclusions: Regardless of the gestational age, most preterm infants have several problems with dietary intake. Our study indicates the need to establish community care services for preterm infants.

This study was conducted to survey students' current eating behavior and nutritional knowledge to provide researchers with basic data that can help students with positive, practical, and healthy eating habits. For this purpose, a self-administered questionnaire was distributed to students of a vocational high school located in Gyeongsangnam-do. A total of 270 questionnaires were collected from a convenience sample and the data were analyzed using SPSS Version 25.0. The results are as follows. First, 57.40% of students lived with "parents," and 55.56% of students' household monthly income levels were "Low." Second, as for the eating behavior of the subjects, the students who ate 'two meals' a day showed the highest at 64.81%, 'one meal' occupied 17.41%, and those who ate one meal a day, 'School cafeteria' was the eating place most frequently mentioned (65.96%). Third, when students were classified based on their nutritional knowledge levels, "High" group comprised 37.78%, "Moderate" group 37.41%, and "Low" group 24.81% of the total students. Regarding the experience of nutrition education, 64.44% answered 'no experience of nutrition education' in the last 12 months, and among the 35.56% of students who had received nutrition education, 72.92% received the education from school teachers. Based on these results, to prevent problems with the eating habits that can occur to vocational high school students, organic cooperation between families, schools, and local communities is required. Furthermore, full support from the government is needed. In addition, more efforts are needed for practice-oriented dietary education so that nutritional knowledge can be converted into correct eating behavior.

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to evaluate the status of events and importance-performance analysis (IPA) between industry and school foodservices. Methods: The study subjects were dietitians in industry foodservices (n = 73) and nutrition teachers in school foodservices (n = 135) in the Jeonbuk area. Demographic characteristics, status of events, and problems of implementing events were assessed using a self-administered questionnaire. Results: Approximately 67% of industry foodservices had implemented an event a month, whereas 40.7% of school foodservices did not implement events for students. The type of events that industry and school foodservices had implemented most frequently were Sambok event, Dongji event, Daeboreum event, Spring-Namul event, and Chuseok event. The industry foodservices had significantly higher average scores for performance of events than those of the school foodservices (p < 0.001). In the Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA), high importance and high performance (A area: doing great) in industry foodservices were seasonal events, traditional festival day events, anniversary events, traditional seasonal events, and personal memory events, whereas in school foodservices were traditional festival day events, traditional seasonal events, school events, and environment events. Conclusion: These results showed that events are important for the increase in customer satisfaction. Therefore, it is necessary to consider educational programs on event implementation for dietitians and employees in industry and school foodservices.

The feathery branched green alga Bryopsis plumosa (Hudson) C. Agardh bloomed at Songji Beach, Haenam, Korea, in November 2022. A terrible stench was present on the beach, and the bottom was covered in a thick green mat of green algae. The alga was identified as B. plumosa, which is an opportunistic species currently distributed worldwide. Dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) and dissolved inorganic phosphorus (DIP) were analyzed in the bloomed area and compared with those of other vicinities. The DIN and DIP concentrations were 1.067 and 0.461 mg L^-1, respectively, which were 6 to 19 times higher than the average concentrations on southwest coasts, including Haenam. The B. plumosa bloom at Songji Beach in November 2022 appears to have depended on DIN and DIP concentrations in seawater. In this study, we report on the mass occurrence of B. plumosa, which appeared for the first time in Korea. This occurrence was found to be closely related to the concentration of nutrients in seawater. Therefore, it is necessary to manage the concentration of nutrients on land flowing into coastal waters to control green algal blooms such as Bryopsis.

미숙아는 단백질 대사 속도가 빠르기 때문에 성장이 충분히 이루어질 수 있도록 ASPEN 가이드라인에서는 아미노산 초기용량을 1-2 g/kg/day로 투여하도록 권장하고 있다. 또한 최근 여러 연구에서 출생초기 고용량 (1.5-4 g/kg/day) 아미노산 투여에 대해 보고하고 있다. 이를 근거로 하여 삼성서울병원 신생아 중환자실에서도 2009년 6월부터 아미노산 초기용량을 0.5 g/kg/day에서 1.5~2 g/kg/day으로 증량하여 투여하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 신생아 중환자실에서 정맥영양요법을 받은 미숙아를 대상으로 고용량 아미노산 공급 효과를 평가하고자 하였다. 2009년 6월 기준으로 출생 후 48시간 이내에 0.5 g/kg/day로 아미노산을 투여 받은 저용량 환아군(38명: 대조군)과 1.5~2 g/kg/day로 투여 받은 고용량 환아군(38명: 시험군)의 전자의무기록을 후향적으로 검토하였다. 고용량 아미노산 공급 효과를 체중증가량 및 총 정맥영양기간, 경구 및 경장 영양 시작 시기, 재원기간으로 평가하였고, 안전성 평가를 위해 혈액화학검사 및 합병증을 조사하였다. 또한 두 군의 인구학적 및 주산기 인자, 영양 공급량 등에 대해 조사하였다. 두 군의 인구학적 및 주산기 인자는 재태기간에서만 차이를 보였으며, 시험군에서 재태기간이 길었다(p < 0.05). 초기 아미노산 용량만이 생후 28일간 일평균 체중증가량에 영향을 미치는 인자였으며 시험군의 일평균 체중증가량이 대조군보다 유의하게 큰 것으로 나타났다($12.6{\pm}4.5$ g/day vs $9.8{\pm}4.5$ g/day, p < 0.05). 목표 체중증가량에 도달한 비율도 시험군이 높았다(65.8% vs 47.4%). 총 공급열량, 총 정맥영양 공급 기간과 경구 및 경장 영양 시작 시기는 두 군간 차이가 없었으나 시험군에서 목표열량 도달시간, 신생아 중환자실 재원기간이 단축되었다(p < 0.05). 혈액화학검사 결과 및 대사성 산증, 호흡곤란증후군, 괴사성장염 발생은 두 군간 차이가 없었으며 고혈당 및 감염, 기관지폐이형증, 뇌실내출혈 발생률은 대조군에서 유의하게 높았다(p < 0.05). 연구 결과, 미숙아에서 출생 초기 고용량 아미노산 공급은 혈액화학검사 이상이나 합병증 없이 체중증가와 재원기간 감소에 효과가 있음을 확인하였다. 따라서 미숙아에 대한 출생초기 영양지원으로 1.5~2 g/kg/day 아미노산 공급은 안전하고 효과적이라고 사료된다.
