BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Curfew due to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic could influence health behaviors in people, especially in children, who can easily acquire unhealthy eating habits. This study aimed to investigate the effect of COVID-19 on weight, health behaviors including eating habits, physical activity, and sedentary behavior in children aged 6-15 years in Saudi Arabia. SUBJECTS/METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional online survey that included 280 children aged 6-15 years in Saudi Arabia during the COVID-19 curfew. The survey included questions on sociodemographic characteristics, anthropometric measures, and health behaviors including eating habits, physical activity, and sedentary behavior. RESULTS: We observed a significant difference in the body mass index before and after the COVID-19 pandemic (P < 0.001). Children significantly tended to skip breakfast, along with a decreased intake of dairy products and fast food (P < 0.001). Moreover, children were less physically active and significantly tended to be involved in leisure screen-based activities, including watching TV and use of computer/games (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: This study provides evidence for the negative influences of the COVID-19 curfew on health behaviors, including eating habits, physical activity, and sedentary behavior in children in Saudi Arabia.

본 연구는 주거 환경이 한부모 여성의 건강에 미치는 영향을 파악하여 이들의 주거와 건강을 개선할 수 있는 방안을 모색하고자 한다. 이를 위하여 여성가족부에서 실시한 '2015년 한부모실태조사'를 활용하였으며, 주거환경의 물리적 특성과 사회경제적 특성이 주관적 건강과 우울감에 미치는 영향을 로지스틱 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 주거의 물리적 특성 중 채광, 난방, 소음 등과 같은 주거 성능이 충족되지 되지 않는 상황에서 한부모 여성들은 건강하지 못하다고 느낄 확률이 높았다. 주거의 사회경제적 특성에서는 자가 보다는 공공 임대에 거주하는 경우와 주거로 인한 과한 부채가 있는 경우가 없는 경우보다 건강하지 못하다고 인식할 확률이 높았다. 우울에는 주거의 사회경제적 특성만 유의미하게 영향을 미쳤다. 자가보다는 공공임대주택인 경우와 과도한 주거 부채가 있는 경우가 우울감을 느낄 확률이 높았다. 본 연구 결과를 바탕으로, 한부모 여성의 건강 증진을 위하여 주거개선서비스의 필요성과 주거실태조사, 주거 부채를 고려한 서비스 제공, 공공임대주택의 주거 환경 개선의 필요성 등을 제언하였다.

A total of 320 dental hygienists completed a self-administered survey; after excluding data from 21 respondents, 299 responses were included in the analysis. Frequency analyses, t-tests, one-way analysis of variation (ANOVA), and correlation analyses were conducted. A path analysis was also conducted to confirm the causal relationships. The findings are as follows. First, there was a significant difference in several general characteristics of the organizational culture including years in the current job and the number of dental hygienists; organizational support including age and the number of dental hygienists; organizational health including years in the current job and annual salary; and personal health including annual salary. Second, the quality of work life showed a positive correlation with organizational culture, organizational support, personal health, and organizational health in that order. Third, the results of path analysis revealed that organizational culture had a positive effect on organizational support; organizational support and personal health on organizational health; organizational support on personal health; and organizational support and organizational health on quality of work life. In addition, organizational support and organizational health had a direct effect on the quality of work life, while organizational culture, organizational support, and personal health had an indirect effect. These results indicated existence of a relationship among organizational culture, organizational support, organizational health, personal health, and quality of work life.

이 연구는 우리나라에서 영주권을 얻었거나 귀화한 외국인들의 정신건강과 한국문화 동화 간의 관계를 고찰하였다. 영주권자 및 귀화자의 건강을 포함한 가장 최근 자료인 2012년 거주외국인 조사자료가 분석에 활용되었다. 분석에 사용된 주요변수는 한국거주기간과 한국어 수준으로 측정된 문화동화 수준과 정신건강이었다. 문화동화수준이 영주권자와 귀화자의 정신건강을 보호하는 것처럼 보였지만 통제변수들이 분석에 추가된 후 그 효과는 사라졌다. 이러한 경향은 다른 나라에서 발견된 문화동화와 정신건강 간의 일반적 결과에 융합하지 않는 결과이다. 한편 차별경험이 이주민 건강에 매우 중요한 변수임이 발견되었다.

Purpose - This research is to review the state of standard labeling compliance and identify the factors that are conducive to compliance with the Labeling Standards of the Health Functional Foods Act in internet distribution. Research design, data, and methodology - We checked 9 labels including product name, expiration date, manufacturing date, raw material, ingredient, operative dose, nutritional information, daily intake, and functional effect which are based on Labeling Standards of the Act from 100 health functional foods in the internet shopping malls. These 9 structure & function claims were compared using a Chi-square test. Results - There was a statistically significant difference in the use of standard labeling between domestic product and imported products (p<.001). The related strength between these two variables showed a moderate effect size. Also, there was a statistically significant difference between accredited advertising/unaccredited advertising distinction and use of standard labeling (p<.001). The related strength between these two variables showed a moderate effect size. Conclusions - The Labeling Standards of the Act were not followed and found to be related to imports or unauthorized advertising in internet distribution. The information displayed according to the Labeling Standards was only about 2 on the average, so many labels have been posted unreadably without arrangement.
