Taking vitamin and mineral supplements is increasingly common with the rapid economic growth. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of vitamin and mineral supplement use among adults aged 20 or older from the third Korean National Health and Nutrition Survey data and to explore the effect of sociodemographic and lifestyle factors as well as nutrient intake on taking supplements. People who had participated in both a health questionnaire and a nutritional survey were selected, and 2,871 men and 3,555 women were finally included in this analysis. Both men and women with a higher level of education, those residing in a metropolitan area, and those with higher income were more likely to take supplements. Health behaviors were not significantly associated with taking supplements. Mean nutrient intake of all nutrients except energy intake was not significantly different in men or women taking supplements after adjusting for age, education, marital status, resident area, smoking, and energy intake. Compared to Dietary Reference Intake (DRI) for Koreans, most vitamins and minerals, except vitamin $B_2$ and calcium, were consumed at higher than the Recommended Intake (RI) without supplements. In conclusion, taking supplements such as vitamin $B_2$ and calcium may promote health and prevent disease. However, the type and frequency of other vitamin and mineral supplements consumed should be considered with caution.

The objective of this study was to compare the healthy dining out attitude of restaurant diners by self-rated health status. Using healthy dining attitude and behavior questionnaire and a single question describing self-rated health status, the needs and importance of healthy dining out was detected. Mean age of the 182 respondents was 38.9${\pm}$11.37 years old and 37.4% of the respondents answered their mean monthly income was over 6,000,000won showing the subjects belonged in high income diners. The needs of healthy dining measured by five scales and offering healthy menus(3.80), labeling foods about original country(3.79), using environmentally friendly foodstuffs(3.71) and labeling nutrients on menu board(3.62) show higher score than others. A total of 76.4% of the respondents assessed their health status as 'good-rated Health' and 23.6% was 'poor-rated health'. There was no difference in frequency of eating out by self-perception of health status but, the 'poor-rated health' group need more nutrition information in restaurant specially for calorie(p<0.05), cholesterol(p<0.05), fiber(p<0.05), functional nutrients(p<0.001) showing significant differences comparing to 'good-rated health' group. In good-rated health group, selection of Korean cuisine for eating out was more frequent than the poor. The results shows the needs of healthy dining can be varied by diner's health status and therefore restaurateur should focus on understanding of the needs of diners with various health status.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: This study investigated the relationship between adherence to the Mediterranean diet among Korean baby boomers and their levels of psychosocial stress. SUBJECTS/METHODS: The study included 1,656 adults (889 men and 797 women) born between 1955 and 1963 who participated in the 2005-2006 survey of the community-based Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study (KoGES). The Mediterranean-type diet score (MTDS) was calculated from the semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire (SQFFQ) data. The psychosocial stress levels were calculated using the psychosocial well-being indexshort form (PWI-SF). Logistic regression analyses were performed to analyze the association between the MTDS (tertiles) and the prevalence of high psychosocial stress by gender. RESULTS: The ranges of the MTDS tertile groups were T1 (20-33 points), T2 (34-37 points), and T3 (38-39 points) for men, T1 (20-33 points), T2 (34-37 points), and T3 (38-48 points) for women. In both men and women, the consumption of whole grains, potatoes, fruits, vegetables, legumes, and fish increased with higher MTDS, while the consumption of red meat and dairy products decreased (P for trend < 0.05). As MTDS score increased the intake of energy, fiber, vitamins, and minerals (P for trend < 0.05). Men in the highest MTDS tertile had a 41% lower odds ratio (OR) of high psychosocial stress compared with those in the lowest tertile (OR, 0.59; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.38-0.91). Similarly, women in the highest tertile of the MTDS had a 39% lower OR of high psychosocial stress compared with those in the lowest tertile (OR, 0.61; 95% CI, 0.40-0.95). CONCLUSION: Promoting adherence to the Mediterranean diet among baby boomers may have a positive impact on reducing their levels of psychosocial stress.

Purpose: Sodium is essentially required for homeostasis and physiological functions, but excessive sodium consumption increases the risk of obesity and other chronic disorders. Korean studies on the sodium-obesity relationship are limited, and thus, this study was undertaken to determine the nature of the relationship between sodium intake and obesity in Korean adults. Methods: Forty-two participants were divided into 2 groups according to body mass index (BMI, non-obese BMI < 25 kg/m², obese BMI ≥ 25 kg/m²). Dietary intakes and eating habits were analyzed using 3-day food records and a food frequency questionnaire. Anthropometric data were obtained from bioimpedance results, and fasting glucose and lipid levels were measured. Results: Mean weight, BMI, waist and hip circumferences, and body fat mass were greater in the obese group than in the non-obese group for men and women. Skeletal muscle mass and body fat mass were higher in obese women than in non-obese women. Biochemical data were no different in these two subgroups except triglycerides (TGs), which were higher in obese women. Nutrient intakes were not significantly different in obese and non-obese groups. However, obese men consumed excessive sodium, while obese women consumed slightly more than non-obese women. Obese men preferred salty foods and tended to overeat. Positive correlations were found between sodium intake and weight in men and percent body fat mass (PBFM) in women. Correlation analysis (adjusted for energy intake) of the relation between sodium intake and obesity-related factors showed sodium intake was positively correlated with PBFM and TG in women. Conclusion: This anthropometric and biochemical data analysis emphasizes the need for awareness and interventions to mitigate the health risks of elevated sodium consumption. Our findings should aid future studies on the relationship between sodium and obesity and contribute to preventing and managing this metabolic condition.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of eating with family or alone on the self-rated mental or physical health and then work out strategies of making people recognize the importance of eating with family and its practice. Study subjects were 610 primary school 5th- and 6th-grade students in Daejeon Area. A questionnaire survey was carried out. 57.9% of students had working mothers. The frequency of meal in a day was $2.90{\pm}0.42$ and this frequency was lower in students who had working mothers (p < 0.05). The frequency of skipping breakfast (times/week) was $1.02{\pm}1.77$. The frequencies of eating alone (times/week) were $1.04{\pm}1.65$ for breakfast and $0.97{\pm}1.52$ for dinner. Also, the frequency of eating alone for dinner was higher in students who had working mothers (p < 0.001). When the frequency of eating alone for breakfast or dinner was higher, the frequencies of skipping breakfast and dinner were also higher (for all, p <0.01). When the frequency of eating alone for breakfast or dinner was higher, the self-rated positive mental health were lower (p < 0.05 and p < 0.01 respectively) and the self-rated negative mental health (for dinner, p < 0.05) and the self-rated negative physical health was higher (p < 0.05 and p < 0.01 respectively), thus presenting negative health. The frequencies of eating with family (times/week) were $3.37{\pm}2.50$ for breakfast and $4.14{\pm}2.19$ for dinner. Also, the frequency of eating with family for dinner was lower in students who had working mothers (p < 0.01). When the frequency of eating with family for breakfast was higher, the frequency of skipping breakfast was lower (p < 0.01). When the frequency of eating with family for dinner was higher, the frequency of skipping dinner was lower (p <0.01). In addition, when the frequency of eating with family for breakfast or dinner was higher, the self-rated positive mental health were higher (for both, p <0.01) and the self-rated negative mental health was lower (for breakfast, p < 0.01) and self-rated negative physical health were lower (for both, p <0.01), thus presenting positive health. Therefore, in order to maintain positive health, it is necessary to recognize the importance of eating with family at home and educate people to carry out a systematic and continuous dietary life, thus increasing eating with family and reducing eating alone and skipping a meal.

We carried out a validation-calibration study of the food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) that we had previously developed for a community-based cohort of the Korean Genome and Health Study of the Korea National Genome Research Institute. We have collected a total of 254 3-day diet records (DRs) from 400 subjects, 200 each randomly selected from the two study cohorts of Ansung and Ansan. FFQ was administered at the time of cohort recruitment in 2001, and DRs were collected during a two month period from January through February of 2002. The mean age was 52.2 years. Farming for men and housewife for women were the most common occupations. The majority of the subjects had undergone 6∼12 years of education. The general characteristics including demographic and other data were not different from the total cohort subjects. Absolute levels of consumed nutrients including total energy (energy), protein, fat, carbohydrate, calcium, phosphorus, sodium, potassium, iron, retinol, carotene, vitamin A, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin and vitamin C were compared. The average of energy intake was not significantly different between the data collected by the 2 methods. However, consumptions of protein and fat were higher in data of DRs, whereas that of carbohydrate was higher in FFQ data. Significant correlation of each nutrient consumption between the data sets was observed (p ＜ 0.05) except in the case of iron, while the average correlation coefficient between them was 0.22 ranging from 0.33 for energy to 0.11 for iron. The results of cross classification by quantile for exact classification ranged from 25.2% (carotene) to 35.0% (phosphorus), and from 64.6% (vitamin A) to 76.4% (retinol) for adjacent classification. The proportion of completely opposite classification was 8.1% in average. Calibration slope was estimated by regression and calibration parameters ranged from 0.025 for carotene to 0.423 for niacin. We conclude that the FFQ we have developed is an appropriate tool for assessing the nutrient intakes as ranking exposures in epidemiology studies in view that amounts of consumed nutrients obtained by FFQ were similar to those collected by DRs, that correlations between consumed nutrients collected by these methods were significant, and that classification results were relatively fair. The correlation coefficients, however, were lower than expected, which may be mainly due to the survey season. In fact, any short-term dietary survey cannot accurately reflect the overall dietary intakes that change heavily depending on seasons. Further studies including the analysis of chemical indices would be helpful for the studies of causal relationship between the diet and disease.

본 연구대상자들은 열량공급 영양소인 탄수화물 : 단백질 : 지방으로 부터 각각 전체 열량의 63% : 14% : 24%를 공급받아 한국인의 권장비인 65 : 15 : 20에 근사한 값을 보여주고 있다. 이러한 이상적인 섭취양상은 sucrose/starch ratio나 P/S ratio cholesterol 등에서도 바람직한 섭취수준을 보여주고 있어 본 조사대상자는 식이를 통한 고혈압 위험인자를 비교적 적게 갖고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 단, 섭취량이 위험수준 이상 보다 높을 것으로 기대되는 나트륨의 섭취량은 조리과정에서 첨가되는 식염의 양을 측정하지 못하여 그 위함의 심각성을 도출하지 못했다. 영양소 섭취의 식품공급원의 순위와 개인간의 변이식품의 순위는 일반적으로 모든 영양소(열량, 단백질, 지방, 나트륨, 칼륨)에서 크게 다른 것으로 나타나 영양소의 주된 공급식품을 중심으로 빈도조사법의 설문지를 작성할 경우 개인간의 섭취량의 차이를 찾아내는데 크게 실패할 가능성을 보여주고 있다. 단, cholesterol의 경우는 제한된 식품에 의존해서 공급받는 것으로 나타나 공급식품과 변이식품의 순위가 크게 차이 나지않아 빈도조사법 설문지 개발시 주된 공급식품의 섭취빈도 조사만으로도 개인간의 변이를 충분히 반영할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 그러므로 질병과의 관련성을 규명하기 위해 식이조사에서 식품섭취 빈도법을 이용하여 설문지를 개발할 경우 주된 급원식품만을 포함시킨다면 개인간의 섭취량의 차이를 도출해 낼 수 없으나, 포함되는 식품항목의 금원식품 뿐 아니라 변이식품도 포함시키는 것이 개인간의 영양소 섭취의 차이를 찾아낼 수 있는 좋은 방법임을 본 연구결과는 시사하고 있다. 본 연구는 고혈압의 식이성 위험인자가 되는 영양소를 중심으로 개인간의 섭취량의 차이를 규명하기 위한 식이조사를 한다는 전제하에 조사에 사용될 식품섭취 빈도법의 설문지 개발시 포함시켜야 할 식품항목의 타당성을 공급식품과 변이식품의 순위 분석을 통해 관찰해 봄으로써 조사표 작성의 기초자료를 제공하고자 하였다. 앞으로 고혈압 이오의 다른 질병인 경우에도 이와같은 연구가 진행되어 각각의 질병연구에 적절한 조사표 작성의 기초자료들이 제공되어야 역학연구에서 식이조사의 효율성을 기대할 수 있을 것이다.

In this study, we assessed consumers' recognition of frozen foods via a survey study, and monitored the contamination levels of total aerobic bacteria and Escherichia coli in imported and domestic frozen seafoods obtained from five whole sale markets in Seoul. A questionnaire used to assess the perception of frozen food safety and the attitude towards frozen food usage was developed and distributed to 350 adults. A total of 324 questionnaires were subjected to frequency analysis and a chi-square test, using SPSS for Windows. The results of our survey study demonstrated that 44.6% of the respondent consumed frozen processed foods two to three times per month, with dumplings being the most frequently purchased. 70.5% of the respondents selected "convenient cooking" as the principal reason for their frozen food purchases. 58% of the respondents believed that frozen processed food is not safe to eat as the result of food additives and changes in quality during the shelf life period. Consumers most profoundly preferred frozen seafood originating from America, and preferred that from China least profoundly (81.2%). Microbiological analyses demonstrated that the aerobic plate counts of frozen seafood, regardless of origin, fulfill the standard requirements except for one frozen clam (6.6 Log CFU/g), which was a heated-frozen domestic product. In addition, E. coli was isolated from frozen cooked mussels, frozen raw clams and squids, thus indicating that more strict hygienic regulation for frozen seafoods will be necessary to protect the consumer in both domestic and foreign markets.

본 연구는 경기지역 대학생 218명(남 95명; 여 123명)을 대상으로 DFQ를 이용하여 나트륨 섭취량을 조사하고 관련된 식행동을 비교, 평가하였다. 수축기와 이완기혈압, DFQ-15 점수와 DFQ-125에 의한 나트륨 섭취량(남 6094.2 mg; 여자 4760.7 mg)은 모두 남자에서 더 높았다(p<0.01). 전체대상자를 DFQ-15에 의해 고염과 저염 섭취군으로 분류한 결과, 두 집단의 혈압에는 차이가 없었으나 여자에서는 저염군의 수축기와 이완기혈압이 높았는데(p<0.05), 이는 여자 저염군에서 유의하게 높은 BMI 때문으로 생각된다. 고염 식태도 점수와 나트륨 섭취량은 고염군에서 매우 높았다(p<0.001). 식습관 비교 결과, 매일 단백질 음식을 먹거나 골고루 먹는 식습관 빈도는 저염군에서 높았으며(p<0.05), 튀김, 볶음요리 및 지방이 많은 육류를 자주 먹거나 식사시 소금과 간장을 더 넣는 부정적 식습관 빈도는 고염군에서 더 높았다(p<0.05). 고염군은 조린 음식 및 중식, 일식을 좋아하고 된장국을 자주 먹으며 튀김, 생선회는 간장에 듬뿍 적셔 먹는 고염 식태도 빈도가 높았으며, 식탁에서 소금을 잘 넣지 않는 저염 식행동 빈도는 낮았다(p<0.05). 나트륨 섭취량을 기준으로 분류한 고염군은 볶음밥 등 별미밥과 조린 음식을 좋아하고 식사 전 습관적으로 소금을 더 넣는 고염 식태도 문항 점수가 높았고, 라면 국물을 남기거나 식탁에서 소금을 추가로 잘 넣지 않는 저염 식행동 문항 점수는 낮았다(p<0.05). 한편, 전체대상자에서 식품구매 시 영양표시를 확인하는 군의 고염 식태도 점수, DFQ-15 점수, 나트륨 섭취량은 비확인군에 비하여 모두 유의하게 낮았으며 저염 식행동 점수는 높았다(p<0.01). 특히, 영양표시 비확인군의 나트륨 섭취량(5669.1 mg)은 확인군(4241.9 mg)의 133.6%에 달해 영양표시 확인여부가 고염섭취의 위험요인인 것으로 생각된다. 남, 여 각 집단과 전체대상자에서 자신이 짜게 먹는 것을 선호한다고 스스로 평가한 군이 그렇지않다고 한 군에 비하여 고염 식태도 점수는 높고 저염 식행동 점수는 낮았다(p<0.001). 하지만 여학생에서는 짜게 먹는 것을 선호한다고 답한 군의 나트륨 섭취가 매우 높은 반면, 남학생에서는 싱겁게 먹는 것을 선호한다고 답한 군의 나트륨 섭취가 매우 높아(p<0.05), 주관적으로 판단한 음식 간의 선호도가 실제 나트륨 섭취 수준을 잘 반영하지 못하는 것으로 나타났다. 결론적으로, 남학생은 나트륨 섭취량이 여학생보다 높고 충분섭취량의 406.3%에 달해 고염 섭취의 위험군이라 할 수 있었다. 고염군의 식행동 특성에는 지방 함량이 높고 조린 음식을 좋아하고 식탁에서 소금 간을 자주하는 반면, 균형식을 실천하는 비율은 낮았다. 따라서 대학생 특히, 남학생을 위한 고혈압 영양교육에는 소금 감량에 관한 내용 외에도 기본적인 식품영양 지식과 올바른 식습관의 중요성 등에 관한 내용이 포함되어야 할 것으로 사료된다.
