  • 연구는 일부 공무원들의 생활습관병에 대한 건강행동과 HBM을 구성하는 인자(생활습관병에 대한 취약성, 중대성, 건강행동의 유효성, 장벽, 가족력, 매스컴으로부터의 정보, 사회적 지원 네트워크)와의 관련성을 규명하고자 시도하였다. 조사대상은 D광역시에 소재하고 있는 정부 공공기관의 행정공무원 729명으로 하였으며, 자료 수집은 2016년 2월 1일부터 3월 31일까지의 기간 동안에 구조화된 무기명 자기기입식 설문지를 이용한 설문조사에 의하였다. 연구결과, 생활습관병에 대한 건강행동점수는 생활습관병에 대한 취약성, 건강행동의 유효성 및 매스컴으로부터의 정보와 유의한 양의 상관관계를 보인 반면, 생활습관병에 대한 건강행동의 장벽과는 유의한 음의 상관관계를 보였다. 또한, 공분산구조분석 결과, 생활습관병에 대한 건강행동에 영향을 미치는 요인으로는 생활습관병의 취약성 및 중대성이 가장 큰 요인이었으며, 다음으로 생활습관병의 가족력 및 매스컴으로부터의 정보, 건강행동의 유효성 및 장벽, 수단적 지원 및 정서적 지원의 순이었다. 위와 같은 연구결과는 HBM을 구성하는 각 인자(생활습관병의 취약성 및 중대성, 건강행동의 유효성 및 장벽, 생활습관병의 가족력 및 매스컴으로부터의 정보, 수단적 지원 및 정서적 지원)는 생활습관병에 대한 건강행동을 실천하는데 중요한 요인이 되고 있음을 시사한다. 따라서 앞으로 생활습관병에 대한 효과적인 예방 지도를 위해서는 대상자 개개인의 생활습관병에 대한 건강행동 실천에 관련된 요인을 정확히 파악하여 지속적으로 관리해 나가는 것이 중요하다고 생각된다.

  • Background and objective: The purpose of this study is to analyze the case of healing experience for lifestyle and environmental diseases through life and activities in the forest from the perspecitive of critical realism, and how the causal power and mechanism of the healing experience relate to forest healing factors and programs. Methods: 93 video data of people who started living in the forest for disease treatment were analyzed using a qualitative content analysis method from the perspective of critical realism. Categories for analysis include general categories (age, duration, occupation, disease name), forest therapy categories (climate therapy, plant therapy, water therapy, diet therapy, kinesiotherapy, psychotherapy), and other categories (ecology, learning and management, life tools), etc., and the unit of analysis is the context unit. Results: 1) The diseases that motivated life in the forest were digestive system diseases, lung diseases, cardiovascular diseases, endocrine system diseases, and various lifestyle-related diseases and environmental diseases in similar proportions. This indicates that forest life does not have specificity to respond to specific diseases, but provides treatment and recovery for all lifestyle and environmental diseases. 2) Among the forest therapies, climate therapy and plant therapy are related to the climatic and residential environment in the forest where 'natural persons' live. And others such as water therapy, diet therapy, kinesiotherapy, psychotherapy indicate the change from the lifestyle that caused the disease to the lifestyle for treatment and recovery. Conclusion: Life and activities in the forest provide an environment for treatment and recovery in which the healing principles such as aromatherapy, nutritional and dietary therapy, kinesiotherapy, and emotional psychotherapy are integrated in the 'real world'.

  • A majority of the peoples in Indian cities depend on high fat diet, smoking, ghutka chewing and improper sleep, these all are lifestyle changes, can cause ischemic heart disease. Globally, ischemic heart disease (IHD) is the leading killer. Unani System of medicine not only provides well-based medical cures for diseases, but its holistic approaches as it possess unique principles of diet, lifestyle and particularly therapeutics, to balance and enrich all aspects of physiology and psyche. All diseases are the result of poor management of the six governing (or essential) factors, beyond the ability of physics or Tabiat to maintain and restore homeostasis. In this context, lifestyle diseases can be prevented by conscious changes to the person's diet, behavior and environment. The holistic approach of Unani medicine is well placed to cover the two main pillars of lifestyle diseases, namely, prevention and treatment. In this paper, we report on the prevalence of CAD in patients with known diagnosis of CAD and try to find out its relationship with different lifestyle changes.

  • Background: The influence of lifestyle diseases on postoperative complications and long-term survival in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is unclear. The aim of this study was to determine whether lifestyle diseases were significant risk factors of perioperative and long-term surgical outcomes in elderly patients with stage I NSCLC. Methods: Between December 1995 and November 2013, 110 patients aged 65 years or older who underwent surgical resection of stage I NSCLC at Dong-A University Hospital were retrospectively studied. We assessed the presence of the following lifestyle diseases as risk factors for postoperative complications and long-term mortality: diabetes, hypertension, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, stroke, and ischemic heart disease. Results: The mean age of the patients was 71 years (range, 65 to 82 years). Forty-six patients (41.8%) had hypertension, making it the most common lifestyle disease, followed by diabetes (n=23, 20.9%). The in-hospital mortality rate was 0.9% (n=1). The 3-year and 5-year survival rates were 78% and 64%, respectively. Postoperative complications developed in 32 patients (29.1%), including 7 (6.4%) with prolonged air leakage, 6 (5.5%) with atrial fibrillation, 5 (4.5%) with delirium and atelectasis, and 3 (2.7%) with acute kidney injury and pneumonia. Univariate and multivariate analyses showed that the presence of a lifestyle disease was the only independent risk factor for postoperative complications. In survival analysis, univariate analysis showed that age, smoking, body mass index, extent of resection, and pathologic stage were associated with impaired survival. Multivariate analysis revealed that resection type (hazard ratio [HR], 2.20; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.08 to 4.49; p=0.030) and pathologic stage (HR, 1.89; 95% CI, 1.02 to 3.49; p=0.043) had independent adverse impacts on survival. Conclusion: This study demonstrated that the presence of a lifestyle disease was a significant prognostic factor for postoperative complications, but not of survival, in elderly patients with stage I NSCLC. Therefore, postoperative complications may be influenced by the presence of a lifestyle disease.

  • Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has become a major health burden worldwide, with over 600 million confirmed cases and 6 million deaths by 15 December 2022. Although the acute phase of COVID-19 management has been established, the long-term clinical course and complications due to the relatively short outbreak is yet to be assessed. The current COVID-19 pandemic is causing significant morbidity and mortality around the world. Interestingly, epidemiological studies have shown that fatality rates vary considerably across different countries, and men and elderly patients are at higher risk of developing severe diseases. There is increasing evidence that COVID-19 infection causes neurological deficits in a substantial proportion to patients suffering from acute respiratory distress syndrome. Furthermore, lack of physical activity and smoking are associated with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) susceptibility. We should therefore explore why lack of physical activity, smoking, etc causing a population more susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 infection, and mechanism involved. Thus, in this review article, we summarize epidemiological evidence related to risk factors and lifestyle that affect COVID-19 severity and the mechanism involved. These risk factors or lifestyle interventions include smoking, cardiovascular health, obesity, exercise, environmental pollution, psychosocial social stress, and diet.

  • Digital therapeutics (DTx) are emerging as a novel solution to improve lifestyle and prevent non-communicable diseases. Obesity is a complex, multi-factorial, chronic condition that requires patient-centered lifestyle modification. DTx, such as mobile applications and wearables, may offer easily accessible, efficient, and personalized care in the field of obesity and metabolic diseases. Yet, there is controversy over its clinical usefulness. This review will provide a comprehensive overview of DTx, including its potential role and current limitation in obesity care, based on recent literature.

  • 당뇨병, 고혈압, 비만, 고콜레스테롤혈증이 노인의 구강건강상태에 미치는 영향을 파악하고 구강질환의 예방 및 치료의 기초자료를 마련하고자 2006년과 2007년에 성주군에 소재한 보건소에서 시행하는 건강검진을 받은 만 60세 이상의 노인을 대상으로 설문조사와 구강검사를 실시하고 이 대상자 중 2000년과 2001년에 조사되어 6년간 추적 관찰된 399명을 대상으로 분석하였다. 당뇨병, 고혈압, 비만과 고콜레스테롤혈증 유병기간에 따라서 당뇨병은 우식치아 수와 우식경험 영구치아 수, 고혈압은 결손치아 수와 우식경험 영구치아 수, 비만과 고콜레스테롤혈증은 결손치아수와 우식경험영구치아 수가 증가하는 것으로 나타났고 (p<0.05), 두 가지 이상 질병 보유군에서 결손치아 수와 우식경험영구치아 수가 유의하게 많은 것으로 나타났다(p<0.01). 단순회귀분석 결과 당뇨병의 유병기간이 길수록 우식치아 수가 증가하고, 고혈압과 비만의 유병기간이 길수록 결손치아 수가 증가하는 것으로 나타났으며, 4가지 질병의 유병기간이 길수록 우식경험영구치아 수도 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 다변량 회귀분석 결과 각 질병의 유병기간이 길수록 결손치아 수가 증가하는 것으로 나타났고, 당뇨병, 고혈압, 비만 등 각 질병의 유병기간이 길수록 그리고 보유질병 수가 많을수록 우식경험 영구치아 수가 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같이 당뇨병, 고혈압, 비만, 고콜레스테롤 혈증 환자가 구강질환 발생위험이 상당히 높게 나타났다. 따라서 이들 생활습관병의 예방 및 관리는 구강건강상태에 크게 기여할 것이다.
