In this study, grade of subjective symptom appealed by laborer of Jeollabuk-do was evaluated using questionary regarding factor made effect on musculoskeletal disease and in addition, studied relationship with health promotion life style of them. Based on the result, relationship of general characteristics of musculoskeletal subjective symptom and life-style of the subjects was concluded as below. 1. General characteristics of study subjects were as following. Ratio of male was higher as 57.7% of male and 42.2% female and age distribution was 5.1% of 20s, 34.99% of 30s, 36.3% of 40s and 23.7% of 50s and therefore, $30{\sim}40$ aged groups showed highest ratio. Most subjects (74.9%) was married status and in case of education level, high-school graduate and dropout (23.3%) and over-college graduate (46.8%) showed highest distribution. $1{\sim}2$ Mil. KRW (29.5%) and $2{\sim}2.99$ Mil. KRW (21.2%) is the main income distribution and however there was high ratio of non-reply (29.0%). In case of employment period, $10{\sim}14$ years (15.3%) and over 15 years (29.6%) showed highest ratio and there were many non-reply (39.4%) and in addition, 67.6% replied as own house and 14.3% as lease on deposit base in question of residence type. 2. Subjects showed high ratio of subjective symptom appeal of 62.79% and many cases (50.23%) appealed 1 or 2 symptoms. Symptom by body region was 29.8% (waist), 27% (shoulder), 21.2% (knee), 15.5% (neck), 9.5% (ankle), 8.1% (wrist) and 5.0% (elbow) in order. In case of relationship with general characteristics, female comparing with male, non-residence of own house, subjects with lower education level and employment period of $10{\sim}14$ years showed higher appeal rate and kind of symptoms than others. Therefore, it was concluded that rate of musculoskeletal symptom appeal have close relationship with gender, level of living, education level, age and employment period. 3. In case of severe pain of upper body except waist and ankle, it was appealed in both or right side and it means that upper body pain is originated from right side and right region pain is transited to both region pain. In addition, there was 39.41% of non-reply to existence of right-left region pain and therefore, it was evaluated that, in may cases, there was no awareness of their own symptom condition even on subjective symptom. 4. Degree of pain was, as pain over middle level, evaluated as 2.79 on full mark of 4.0 and in order of waist (2.97), ankle (2.83), knee (2.82), wrist (2.82), neck (2.79), shoulder (2.70) and elbow (2.62). In addition, 71.97% appealed $2{\sim}3$ cases for the latest 1 week. Owing to subjective symptom, 54.95% drop into hospital or pharmacy, 10.32% made temporary retirement or absence, 7.99% transferred into more comfortable duty and $39.4{\sim}54%$ experienced one or more managing mentioned above. 5.

Average mark of each area was personal relationship (3.05), self-realization (2.92), stress management (2.63), health control (2.48), physical exercise (2.19) and nutrition management (2.19) and personal relationship was highest and physical exercise and nutrition management were lowest. As general characteristics influencing health promotion life style, gender, residence style and employment period showed significant difference. Male showed higher mark than female and showed higher mark in order of own house, others, lease on deposit base, monthly rent. Subjects with longer employment period showed higher mark with significant difference. 6. Accounting of factor influencing each area of health promotion life style, self-realization showed significance in marriage status, income, residence style and education level and health control in age, residence style and employment period. Physical exercise showed significant difference in gender, age, residence style and employment period and nutrition in gender, age, residence style and employment period. Stress management showed significant difference in residence style and employment period and however not in personal relationship. 7. Health promotion life style relating with existence and kind of pain showed significant difference in all area except personal relationship area. In absence of pain, there was statistically significant high score in all area even in total health promotion life style and all area. Accounting of kind of pain, cases of $1{\sim}2$ kinds of pain and $5{\sim}6$ kinds of pain showed relatively high score and it was lower than mark of subject stated absence of pain. 8. Subjects appeal symptom were classified by symptom region and difference of total and each areas were evaluated. General area (p=0.002), self-realization (p=0.012), health management (p=0.023), physical exercise (p=0.028), nutrition management (p=0.028) and stress control (p=0.001) showed statistically significant difference and not in personal relationship area.

연구배경 : 폐 경화성혈관종은 중년 여성에서 호발하며 양성 폐종양 중 2번째로 많은 빈도를 보이나 국내에서는 이제까지 이에 대한 간헐적인 연구보고가 있었다. 방법 : 저자들은 1985년 1월부터 1993년 4월까지 연세대학교 의과대학 세브란스병원에서 절제수술로서 확진된 폐 경화성혈관종 8예에 대하여 임상기록과 함께 방사선학적, 조직병리학적 소견 등을 후향적으로 조사하였다. 결과 : 상기 조사기간중 본원에서 폐종양으로 수술받은 총 381명의 환자중 폐 경화성혈관종은 양성종양 가운데 2번째의 발생빈도를 보였다. 환자는 남자 1명과 여자 7명이었고 수술당시 환자연령은 14세부터 63세로 평균 43.8세이었다. 호흡기 증상이 있어 진단된 경우는 2예뿐이며 대부분이 무증상군으로 6예에서 통상적인 흉부 X-선 촬영상 우연히 발견되었다. 흉부 X-선상 이상소견이 발견되어 수술로 확진되기까지의 평균기간은 7.9개월이었으며 수술전 양성종양으로 추정된 경우가 4예 있었고 나머지 4예는 악성 폐종양과의 감별을 요하였다. 수술은 5예에서 폐엽절제술, 1예는 폐엽 부분절제, 2예는 종괴적출만 시행되었다. 결론 : 저자들은 수술로 확진된 폐 경화성혈관종 8예를 임상 및 조직병리학적으로 분석한 결과 상기 종양이 비록 양성종양으로 분류되지만 드물게 림프절 전이나 다발성을 보인다는 사실과 수술전에 악성종양과의 감별이 쉽지 않으며 최근 폐 악성종양이 증가하고 있음을 고려할 때 수술은 진단 및 치료목적으로 필요하다고 생각된다.

본 연구는 성별에 따른 중 장년의 만성질환과 구강건강행태가 치주질환에 미치는 위험도를 살펴보고자 한다. 국민건강영양조사 제6기 원시자료를 이용하여 만35~65세의 중 장년 남성 3,071명, 여성 4,273명 총 7,344명을 최종연구대상자로 선정하였다. 본 연구 결과, 주관적 구강건강상태 '나쁨'이 남성은 1.69배(p<0.001), 여성은 1.50배(p<0.001) 치주질환 위험도를 나타냈다. 저작불편 '있음'은 남성은 2.01배(p<0.001), 여성은 1.40배((p=0.001)의 치주질환 위험도를 나타냈다. 흡연자는 남성에서는 1.68배(p<0.001), 여성은 2.07배(p<0.001) 치주질환 위험도를 나타냈다. 고혈압유병은 정상에 비해 고혈압전단계 군이 남성은 1.44배(p<0.001), 여성은 1.30배(p<0.05)의 치주질환 위험도를 나타냈다. 비만은 정상에 비해 비만군에서 남성은 1.199배(p<0.05), 여성은 1.202배(p<0.05)의 치주질환의 위험도를 나타냈다. 당뇨는 정상인에 비해 당뇨병 유병군에서 남성은 1.28배(p<0.05), 여성은 1.53배(p<0.05)의 치주질환 위험도를 나타냈다. 이상의 결과로 볼 때 남성은 저작불편, 여성은 흡연이 치주질환에 가장 큰 위험도를 나타냈다. 흡연과 당뇨병군을 제외한 모든 변수에서 남성이 여성에 비해 치주질환의 위험도가 더 높게 나타났다. 남성이 치주질환의 위험도가 더 높게 나타난 것으로 보아, 남성의 구강건강관리에 좀 더 관심을 갖고 구강질병 예방을 위한 체계적인 구강보건교육 및 정책이 필요하다고 여겨진다.
