노거수의 건강 및 보호 등에 대한 연구는 많이 있어 왔지만, 경험적인 판단 또는 원론적인 조치 등에 집중되고 있다. 건강 위험도 평가는 노거수의 현황 및 위험 순위를 반영할 수 있어 노거수의 보호 방안 수립에 귀중한 자료가 된다. 본 연구는 노거수의 건강 위험도를 평가할 수 있는 평가지표를 도출하여 6개 대분야와 46개 지표인자를 2개 층으로 나누고, AHP 및 PCA 기법을 이용하여 각 위험 대분야와 지표인자의 가중치를 산출하였다. AHP 기법은 각 대분야 간의 상대적인 중요성을 판단하는데 유용한 평가 기법으로 평가 결과, 노거수의 자체노화가 위험의 주요 원인으로 나타났다. PCA 기법 평가 결과, 수간의 부패 상태, 수광 상태, 외과수술 흔적, 진균병해, 토양 건습도, 낙뢰 등이 각 대분야의 가장 중요한 지표 인자로 나타나 보호 관리 시 우선적으로 고려하여야 한다. 각 세부 지표의 상대적 중요도 및 우선순위를 설정하여 건강 위험도 평가에 유용하게 적용할 수 있다. 본 연구 결과는 노거수 위험도 평가에 객관적인 판단 근거가 되며, 노거수 보호 관리에 지침이 될 것이다.

Objectives: This study examines the relationship between social capital and suicidal impulse for the Metropolitan Seoul residents, paying particular attention on individual and area level risk factors using multilevel analysis techniques. Methods: Data are obtained from the 2005 Seoul Health Indicators Survey and the Seoul Survey. At the individual level, we analyze demographic variables including sex, age, marital status, educational attainments, family income, field of economic activities, having close friends or relatives, and having participating groups or organization. To measure the area level social capital, happiness index, attitude toward minority, the percent of volunteer activity, the percent of having close friends or relatives, and the percent of participating groups or organization are considered. A multilevel logistic regression analysis is conducted utilizing the SAS 9.1. Result: Results show that non-aged, female, not currently married, unemployed individuals tend to have relatively high motivation of suicide. Controlling for individual level covariates, the relationship between social capital and suicidal impulse is neither significant nor substantial. Further, the consideration of area social capital does not explain the variances in suicidal impulse across 25 Kus. Conclusion: Suicidal impulse among Seoul residents is mainly attributable to the composition of individual characteristics but little to the contextual social capital.

One of the main indicators of the health status of a country is the Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR). In order to improve the MMR in Indonesia, the government has made a number of primary health centers (PHC) capable of providing basic obstetric and neonatal emergency care (PONED) services. The aim of this research is to learn how well PONED services have been implemented at the Baso PHC in Agam Regency as of 2015. We used a qualitative approach, with in-depth interviews and observations from June-August 2015. Ten respondents participated in the in-depth interviews, and observations were made about the infrastructure. The validity of the data is based on the standard of credibility, transferability, dependability, and confirmability of the content of the interviews. The analysis shows that there are still some obstacles in PONED PHC implementation, including the lack of human resources at the PHC and insufficient facilities, funding, and oversight, which causes many cases that should be handled by a PONED team to be referred to the hospital. Suggestions are provided to help improve policies and ultimately patient care.

Iron deficiency anemia is a worldwide public health problem relevant to unsound nutritional practice. While the prevalence of iron deficiency anemia is very common among pregnant women, appropriate nutritional service programs to improve the iron status are lacking in Korea. In an attempt to develop a nutritional screening tool to separate the high-risk subjects of iron deficiency, we carried out a nutritional survey for 115 Korean pregnant women whose gestational age ranged from 13 to 24 weeks. Each subject was interviewed with questionnaires for general characteristics and dietary habits. Food intake was measured by 24-hour recap method and 2 day record. Fasting blood was drawn for measuring hemoglobin and serum ferritin. It appeared that half of the pregnant women belonged to the anemia group and had insufficient dietary habits to provide adequate amounts of dietary iron. The first gravida and the working women had better hematological iron indicators than the second or more gravida and the housewives. It also appeared that women who had bigger family size and lower BMI in pre-pregnancy had poorer iron status. Among the food consumption habits, fruit dependent dietary habit was related to poor iron status. Sufficiently consumed green leafy vegetable and appropriate amount of food before morning sickness were positive factors of iron stares. Our results indicated that parity, BMI, current job, family size, food habits including consumption of fruits, green & yellow vegetables, and food habits before the onset of morning sickness are significant factors to contribute the Fe deficiency anemia during pregnancy.

To find health problems of Pohang city and to plan the activities to solve them in the situation of localization, the mortalities of the citizens in recent three years from 1994 to 1996 were analyzed from the notices and the certificates of death. The ratios of the notices with the certificates of death In the rural area of Pohang city were higher than those of whole country, the ratios of the urban area were lower than the respective ones, and the ratio differences between the rural and urban area were increasing. It may be that medical facilities are not within easy access of the rural inhabitants. especially in the rural south district with high population density. The proportional mortality indicators(PMI) were lower them those of whole country, much lower in male. So the health status of young aged males is relatively unsatisfactory. The urban inhabitants died in hospitals about two times more than the rural inhabitants and the differences were increasing. It may be that living and housing conditions and socio-cultural differences affected on the places of death. Because it is thought that death in hospitals will be growing at high speed, it is necessary to enlarge facilities fur funeral services. The age standardized mortalities were lower than those of whole country and age grouped mortalities were also the same. There were not any consistent and meaningful findings in the sex ratios of mortality according to the age groups or the calendar years. The mortalities by neoplasms and cardiovascular diseases according to the twenty one major causes of death were rapidly increased from the middle ages in both male and female. So it is important to plan the activities for early detection and health maintenance or promotion by behavior modifications. The leading causes of death were cardiovascular diseases, hypertensive diseases, and traffic accidents. And accidental drowning because of coastal area, liver diseases in male, and low respiratory tract diseases in female were the leading causes of death in part of age groups.

Traditional wastewater research mainly focuses on 1) estimating the amount of waste entering sewage treatment facilities, 2) evaluating the treatment efficiency of sewage facilities, 3) investigating the role of sewage treatment effluent as a point source, and 4) designing and managing sewage treatment facilities. However, since wastewater contains a variety of chemical and biological substances due to the discharge of human excreta and material used for daily living into it, the collective constituents of wastewater are likely a reflection of a community's status. Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE), an emerging and promising field of study that involves the analysis of substances in wastewater, can be applied to monitor the state of a defined community. WBE provides opportunities for exploiting indicators in wastewater to fulfill various objectives. The data analyzed under WBE are those pertaining to selected natural and anthropogenic substances in wastewater that are a result of the discharge of metabolic excreta, illicit or legal drugs, and infectious pathogens into the wastewater. This paper reviews recent progress in WBE and addresses current challenges in the field. It primarily discusses several representative applications including the investigation of drug consumption across different communities and the management of community disease and health. Finally, it summarizes established indicators for WBE.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to examine whether heart rate variability (HRV) and pulse wave of cancer patients can be used as indicators of their health status and prognosis. Methods: We retrospectively compared HRV, pulse wave and body mass index (BMI) of cancer patients and healthy individuals who visited W hospital from November of 2020 to October of 2021. Results: As a result of comparing HRV and pulse wave parameters between cancer patients and healthy subjects, among HRV indices, mean heart rate (MHR), standard deviation of normal to normal (SDNN) and total power (TP), very low frequency (VLF) showed significant differences between two groups. Cancer patients' pulse wave parameters showed more rapid and superficial than that of healthy subjects. Also, cancer patients weighed less and had lower BMI. Conclusion: For increased MHR, decreased SDNN, rapid and superficial pulse wave can be indicators of poor prognosis of cancer patients, keep monitoring HRV and pulse wave can help to manage patients efficiently.

본 연구는 부적절한 영양지원이 ECMO 환자의 영양상태 뿐만 아니라 사망률 등에도 부정적인 영향을 미칠 수 있음을 보여주었다. 대부분의 ECMO 환자는 중환자실 입실 초기부터 영양상태가 이미 영양불량이거나 영양불량 위험군이었고, 재원기간이 경과하면서 악화되는 것을 관찰하였다. 이는 ECMO 환자들이 가장 위중할 때에 필요로 하는 칼로리와 단백질의 영양 지원이 충분하지 않았음을 시사하는 것이며, 특히 PN과 EN의 개시 시점이 영양관리지침의 권고보다 지연되지 않도록 노력하는 개선이 시급하다. 또한, ECMO 환자의 영양상태 평가만 아니라 공급한 영양지원에 대한 환자의 반응까지 고려한 영양관리가 필요한데, 이를 위해서는 영양관리가 중환자 간호에서 우선시 되어야 하며, 영양사를 포함한 다학제간 접근이 반드시 포함되어야 한다. 점차 증가하는 ECMO 적용 사례를 고려한다면, 중환자실에서의 집중치료 과정에 영양관리도 비중있게 반영되어야 할 것이다. 차후에는 전향적 무작위통제 연구로 환자의 질환 유형이나 ECMO 배치형태에 따른 영양지원방법과 효과를 비교할 것을 제안한다. 더 많은 대상자 수 확보를 위하여 여러 병원의 자료를 취합하여 분석하거나 환자 상태에 따라 영양공급의 적정량을 평가하고 비교하는 연구를 제안한다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relations between HbA1c level and health risk factor. For analysis, 330 elderly women aged 65 years and over were recruited in Jeonla province, Korea. The subjects were classified into two groups according to their HbA1c level; the diabetic group (HbA1c level${\geq}6.5%$, n=68, 20.6%) and control group (HbA1c level<6.5%, n=262, 79.4%). Demographic characteristics were collected, as well as information on physical measurements, blood tests for biochemical indicators, a health status and health-related life style, dietary behavior, favorite food groups, consumption frequency of food groups and nutrient intake. Educational level of the diabetic group was significantly lower than that of the control group. The height of the diabetic group was shorter, and percentage fat of the diabetic group was higher than those of the control group. In the diabetic group, the higher concentrations of creatinine and activity of alkaline phosphatase were found to be significantly unfavorable factors. Therefore, the diabetic group was assumed to be at risk of decreased liver and renal function. The self-rated health level of the diabetic group has a declining tendency, while the medicine intake was significantly higher than that of the control group, but there are no significant differences in visiting frequency of hospital and community health center. The distribution of physical activity showed a significant difference between the groups. Although there are no significant differences in nutrient intake, the diabetic group had relatively inferior nutrient intake of diet, especially vitamin C, as contrasted with the control group. In conclusion, the weight control and increasing physical activity may be effective in the prevention of the diabetes and continuous education and intervention by specialized nutritionists will be needed for diabetic patients. These results could be useful to plan effective strategies to increase the health-life expectancy and the prevention of the diabetes of Korean elderly people living in rural areas.
