Suicide is a major problem in Korean health care and a serious social problem. In Korea, 12,463 people (24.3 per 100,000) lost their lives due to suicide in 2017. Although the government has established three National Comprehensive Plan of Suicide Prevention (2004, 2009, 2016), and National Action Plan of Suicide Prevention (2018), the suicide rate is still high. The suicide rate of the elderly is especially high. This is due to the economic vulnerability of the elderly in Korea. Therefore, in order to prevent suicide in Korea, mental health care approach and social welfare approach should be integrated. The intervention of preventing suicide of suicide attempters should include social welfare services as well as mental health program and should be based on community. There are many health problems, including prevention of suicide, which can not be solved only by the efforts of health care. Many health problems are social problems and the integrated approach is needed to solve them.

본 연구는 고지혈증 유병률의 지역 간 변이 정도와 위험 요인을 규명하여 지역별 특성에 맞는 고지혈증 관리 사업을 지원하기 위한 기초자료를 제공하기 위해 수행되었다. 이를 위해 질병관리본부의 2012년도 시군구 지역사회건강조사 249건의 자료를 이용하여 단순 상관관계 분석, 단계적 회귀분석, 의사결정나무 등의 기법으로 분석하였다. 249개 시군구 지역의 고지혈증 유병률은 9.2%였고, 변동계수는 28.3%였다. 남동부 해안지역에 비해 수도권과 내륙지방의 고지혈증 유병률이 높았다. 의사결정나무 모형이 회귀모형에 비해 예측력이 좋았는데, 지역의 임금근로자 비율, 스트레스 인지율, 고혈압, 협심증, 관절염 유병률이 높은 지역일수록 고지혈증 유병률이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 사회 역학적 관점에서 지역사회의 개입이 가능한 지점을 중심으로 고지혈증 유병률을 감소시키기 위한 전략 마련이 필요하다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate food service management system and nutrition education of the early childhood education institute in Yongdungpo, Seoul. Self-administered questionnaires were completed by 26 public early childhood education institute and 34 private ones. A majority of the teachers were women over 40 with at least bachelor's degree. Other than the fact that food service provides food to the children, it contributed in providing the essential nutrients to the children, as well as giving them the opportunity to learn table manners. A normal food service would provide one set of lunch and two sets of snacks, which would be provided by the institute itself. In most cases, the director or teachers planned the menus instead of dietitians. Journals, cookbooks, and other information put out by mass communication, such as TV and newspapers, were used as reference to those menus. The factors considered in planning the menus were mainly nutritional balance and the children's food preference. The difficulties in meal management were about the budget and nutritional menu planning. Fifty five percent of the subjects were did nutrition education, and they focused mainly on the table manners and hygiene education but once a year. The difficulties and complaints in execution nutrition education at the institutes were lack of nutritional knowledge, personal shortage, and excessive work. The institutes were urgently requesting for menu provisions from local Public Health Clinics. As a recommendation from the results of this study, food service management and nutrition related subjects should be more enforced into the nursery teacher training curriculum. Also, it is necessary to provide nutrition education to teachers, and as a link, the need to develop a manual for nutrition education has become urgent.
