Oral malodor in companion animals is noticed by owners at first and it makes owners unpleasant. Therefore oral malodor affects the relationship between pet and owner. Oral malodor is produced by some putrefactive bacteria which putrefy proteins to volatile sulfur compounds (VSC) such as methyl mercaptan, hydrogen sulfide and dimethyl sulfide in the food remnants. And oral malodor is mostly consisted with these VSC. On oral examinations in dogs with oral malodor, it is common that plaque and calculus index were increased than normal dogs'. But organoleptic method is subjective to evaluate halitosis, in this study we measured VSC using organoleptic method and portable sulfide monitor to clarify the relationship between halitosis and periodontal disease in dogs with halitosis. And we found that plaque index and calculus index were significantly related with VSC (P<0.05, P<0.05) in measurement using Halimeter. However there was not significant relationship between gingivitis index and VSC. In conclusion, there was the significant, positive relationship between periodontal disease and halitosis.

이 연구는 비만(obesity)이 어떻게 독립적인 질병지위(status of disease)를 획득하게 되었는지 살펴봄으로써 질병 탄생의 메커니즘을 찾아보고자 하였다. 세계보건기구(WHO)는 1996년과 1997년에 "비만은 분명히 치료가 필요한 병"이라고 경고하였다. 그러나 그 이전까지 비만은 비(非)표준 비(非)정상의 신체 상태로 분류되었고 질병의 범주에 속하지 않았다. 이 논문은 비만이라는 질병의 탄생 메커니즘을 알아보기 위해 비만의 역사적 질병 담론 형성 과정과 병리학적 역학적 실재성을 고찰하였다. 연구 결과, 의료계가 BMI(Body Mass Index: 체질량지수)를 조정하고 정상 신체 범주를 좁히는 한편, 치수차별주의(sizism)를 제도화하였음을 확인하였다. 특히, 의료계가 비만의 신체 상태를 고혈압, 당뇨병 등 의료비 지출이 큰 만성적 고위험 질병과 결부(結付)짓는 비만공포증(fatphobia)을 유포함으로써 비만에 독립적인 질병지위를 부여하는 강력한 의료적 통제관리 메커니즘을 형성한 것으로 확인되었다. 이 논문은 이러한 고찰을 통해 비만과 같은 비(非)감염성 질병은, 실재의 병리학적 요인보다 문화적 사회경제적인 비(非)의료적 요인이 더 강력하게 개입하여 탄생할 수 있다는 함의를 발견하였다.

The purpose of this epidermiological analysis was to evaluate the periodontal status of Korean young adults(twenties) in order to provide detail & baseline data for frequence of periodontal disease. Two hundred and fifty young adults, aged 20-29 years, were selected by random sampling. Dental visity, scaling treatment, education, income, toothbrushing frequence & method were checked, and plaque index(Loe and silness), calculus index(Ramfjord), gingival index(Loe and silness), attached gingival width, perio probing depth, gingival recession were measured. The obtained results were as follows. 1. Average plaque index(1.96), calculus index(1.43), gingival index(1.7) were higher in mandible than maxillar. It was most prevalent in lst molar. 2. Average attached gingival width(4.0mm) was wider in maxillar than mandible. It was most prominent in lateral incisor. 3. Pocket depth(>4mm) was distributed in 42% subject, it was higher in mandible than maxilla and most prevalent in 1st molar. 4. Gingival recession(>1mm) was distributed in 94% subject, it was higher in mandible than maxilla, and most prevalant in canine. 5. According to unpaired t-test, palque index, calculus index, gingival index were not statistically significant in history of scaling treatment, level of eduction and account of income, but were showed statistically significant in histrory of dental clinic.(PB0.05) 6. According to ANOVA test, correlation between tooth-brushing(frequence, method) and gingival index was showed statistically significant.(P<0.05) 7. There was gingival recessionof 87% subject in only one time brushing, 80% subject in two time, and 68% subject in three times. There was gingival recessionof 68% subject in leftright direction tooth brushing, 73% subject in upper-low method and 77% subject in combination method.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between early menopause and periodontal disease in postmenopausal women using data from the 6th Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2013~2015). A study was conducted with 2,048 postmenopausal women aged 45 to 74 years. Participants were divided into the early menopause group (menopause occurring at age 45 years or before) and normal menopause group (menopause occurring after age 45 years). A community periodontal index greater than or equal to code 3 was used to define periodontal treatment needs. A chi-square test was used to confirm the bivariate relationship between the variables. Multinomial logistic regression analysis was used to adjust for covariates (age, education, family income, body mass index, alcohol drinking, smoking, visiting dentist in the last year, use of oral care products, frequency of tooth brushing per day). The risk of periodontal disease was higher in the early menopause group after adjusting for potential confounders (odds ratio, 1.59). In particular, the relationship between early menopause and periodontal disease was more evident in women with low education and those who did not use oral care products. The findings of this study suggest that early menopause is a significant factor of periodontal disease in Korean women.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate influences of drinking, smoking, and obesity indices on cardio-cerebrovascular disease risk factors in Korean young men. Methods: The subjects were 234 young men, aged 20 to 39 years. Body mass index (BMI), percent body fat (PBF), body fat mass (kg), and waist hip ratio (WHR) were measured as obesity indices. Systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), fasting blood sugar (FBS), total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) were measured as cardio-cerebrovascular disease risk factors. The data were analyzed by t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and multiple regression analysis using SAS 9.4. Results: Statistically significant factors were BMI for SEP; age, degree of drinking, body fat mass for DBP; WHR for TC; WHR and age for TG; age, degree of smoking and PBF for HDL-C; WHR, age and degree of smoking for LDL-C. Conclusion: Factors identified in this study need to be considered in cardio-cerebrovascular disease prevention programs for young men.

Objectives: This study aimed to analyze long-term trends in the contribution of each cause of death to socioeconomic inequalities in all-cause mortality among Korean adults. Methods: Data were collected from death certificates between 1990 and 2004 and from censuses in 1990, 1995, and 2000. Age-standardized death rates by gender were produced according to education as the socioeconomic position indicator, and the slope index of inequality was calculated to evaluate the contribution of each cause of death to socioeconomic inequalities in all-cause mortality. Results: Among adults aged 25-44, accidental injuries with transport accidents, suicide, liver disease and cerebrovascular disease made relatively large contributions to socioeconomic inequalities in all-cause mortality, while, among adults aged 45-64, liver disease, cerebrovascular disease, transport accidents, liver cancer, and lung cancer did so. Ischemic heart disease, a very important contributor to socioeconomic mortality inequality in North America and Western Europe, showed a very low contribution (less than 3%) in both genders of Koreans. Conclusions: Considering the contributions of different causes of death to absolute mortality inequalities, establishing effective strategies to reduce socioeconomic inequalities in mortality is warranted.

Clinical measures that Quantify falling risk factors are needed for the accurate evaluation of patients and to plan an intervention strategy. The purpose of this study was to examine the test-retest and interrater reliability of the dynamic gait index (DGI) for persons with Parkinson's disease (PD). A total of 22 idiopathic PD patients were recruited from rehabilitation hospital, Korea in this study. The DGI was assessed in two sessions that were, three days apart. We also measured Berg balance test (BBT) and geriatric depression scale (GDS) for concurrent validity with DGI. Intrarater and interrater reliability (.96 and .98 respectively) for DGI were high. indicating good agreement. The DGI was showed a good positive correlation with the BBS (r=.852). but not GDS (r=-.462). Intrarater and interrater reliability of DGI were high in people with PD. The DGI could be a reliable measure to evaluate functional postural control during gait activities in the PD population, and the ability of DGI to detect real change is acceptable in research and clinical settings.
