This study was carried out to investigate the intake patterns of health food according to the kind of disease of the elderly aged over 60 years living in the Chuncheon area. This study was conducted by using a questionnaire from December 1999 to the March 2000. The data was analyzed using a SPSS program. The results were summarized as follows : The poorer the self- perceived health condition, the lower the level of activity of daily living(ADL) and instrumental activities of daily living(IADL) were the higher. the frequency score of health food intake. The incidence of disease, such as arthritis(44.7%), hypertension(18.8%), digestive diseases(17.1%), diabetes(10.5%) were found to be higher. than other chronic diseases among the elderly. The frequency score of health food intake was not significantly different according to self-perceived health status, disease status, or the level of ADL and IADl.. The must important source of information for health food intake was the recommendation of friends and relatives(68.7%). Twenty eight point two percent of the elderly considered health foods to be effective, however 8.3% of the elderly considered them to be ineffective. The elderly with chronic diseases had taken health floods in the descending order of neuralgia-arthritis, hypertension, digestive disease, diabetes. The elderly with digestive diseases, diabetes, renal disease, neuralgia- arthritis and respiratory disease were inclined to habitually take health floods once or twice per year. Intake of Korean traditional folk food was as high as intake of registered health food and Chinese tonic medicine. The most frequently taken health food was tonic medicine, which is fo11owed by pumpkin, ginseng products, herbal tea formula with black goat, deer antler and Kye-so-ju. Intakes of health food such as tonic medicine, blood of the deer, royal jelly, aloe were found to be higher among the elderly with chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, and digestive disease. However, intakes of ginseng products, deer antler, pumpkin, herbal tea formula with black goat and Kye-so-ju were found to be higher among the healthy elderly. The elderly with neuralgia-arthritis had taken sixteen kinds of health foods. From these results, a wide consumer education program should be developed to convince people of the importance of well-balanced diet and to choose proper health foods according to the elderly's health conditions. Also, comprehensive and scientific research into Korean traditional folk foods are needed for the correct use.

Purpose: This study was to estimate the prevalence of dementia in order to estimate the associations of dementia with its risk factors in the community elderly. Methods: The multistage random cluster sampling method was used to select the subjects. The response rate was 94.3%. For the 1st stage screening survey, the Korean-version Mini-Mental State Examination (K-MMSE) and the Bathel Index of activities of daily living (ADL) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) were used as primary screening tools. At the 2nd stage. diagnoses were confirmed according to the Clinical Dementia Rating Scale (CBR) and Computer Tomogram (CT). Results: Age-sex adjusted prevalence (%) [95% CI] of dementia was 6.25% [4.47-7.83] (male 4.21% [2.40-6.02]; female 8.28% [5.71-10.85]). Four statistically significant risk factors of the dementia were identified: age 70-74 (OR=1.367), age 75-79 (OR=1.712), age 80-84 (OR=2.465), age 85 over (OR=7.363) illiteracy (OR=3.827); unconsciousness after head injury (OR=3.383), and no exercise (OR=2.188). Hosmer and Lemeshow goodness-of-fit index of dementia risk model was E (legit of dementia)= -4.337+$0.312^*Age(70{\sim}74)+0.538^*Age(75{\sim}79)+0.902^*Age(80{\sim}84)+1.996^*Age$(85over)+$1.342^*$Illiteracy+$1.219^*$Unconsciousness after head trauma+$0.783^*$No exercise. We confirmed that the overall prevalence of dementia in adults aged 65 and older was 94.3%. The risk factors of dementia were explained by age, illiteracy unconsciousness after head trauma and no exercise. Conclusion: These data have been used to estimate the incidence of dementia in elderly community population and to manage the possible role of risk factors as predictors of dementia.

목적: 슬관절 손상 원인에 따른 골멍의 위치 및 빈도를 조사하여 전방십자인대 손상과 골멍의 상관관계를 분석하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 2006년 1월부터 2010년 12월까지 외상성 슬관절 동통을 주소로 내원한 환자 중 MRI 촬영 이후 전방십자인대 손상이 진단된 환자 87예를 대상으로 하였다. 슬관절 MRI를 이용하여 동반된 구조물 손상 및 그에 따른 골멍의 위치 및 빈도를 분석하였다. 골멍의 위치는 대퇴골과 경골에 대해 전후방 및 측방의 MRI 영상으로 나누고 각각의 영역에 대하여 다시 내측, 중앙, 외측 3구역으로 분류하였다. 골멍은 Costa Paz가 제시한 분류법을 이용하였다. 결과: 일상 생활 손상은 전체 87예 중 32예(37%), 스포츠 손상은 22예(25%), 교통사고 손상은 33예(38%)로 나타났다. 일상생활 손상의 경우 대퇴골에서는 내과의 전방 부분, 경골에서는 고평부 전방의 내측부에 골멍이 나타났다(각각 p=0.024, p=0.021, p=0.025, p=0.029). 스포츠 손상은 대퇴골에서는 외과의 중심 부분과 경골에서는 고평부 후방의 외측부에서 골멍이 나타났다(각각 p=0.014, p=0.015, p=0.018, p=0.017). 교통사고 손상은 대퇴골과 경골에서 골멍이 전반적으로 관찰되었다(각각 p=0.264, p=0.254, p=0.229, p=0.267). 결론: 일상 생활 손상이나 스포츠 손상의 경우 손상 기전이 교통사고 손상보다 통계적으로 유의한 골멍의 분포를 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 골멍이 경골 외측 고평부 및 대퇴골 외과에 있는 경우에는 스포츠 손상에 의한 전방십자인대 손상을 강력히 의심할 수 있는 근거가 될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
