본 연구의 목적은 집단 영양평가시 급식시설에서 제공하는 표준레시피의 자료로 단순히 영양분석하여 평가할 경우 1인 배식량과 섭취량이 서로 달라 정확한 영양평가를 할 수 없다는 점을 입증하고 정확한 영양분석을 위한 새로운 접근방법을 제시함과 동시에 노인복지시설에서 제공되는 1끼 식사의 영양 평가를 통해 노인급식 영양관리의 문제점을 파악하고 개선안을 도출하는데 있다. 서울 지역 3개노인복지회관을 선정한 후 표준레시피로 실험조리를 통해 메뉴별 조리중량변화계수를 산출하고, 개별 잔반계측방법으로 실제 제공된 양과 노인들이 섭취한 양을 조사하여 영양평가를 내렸다. 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 1) 조사대상자는 65세 이상 75세 미만이 51명, 75세 이상이 49명이었으며, 평균 신장은 남자 165.6 cm, 여자154.8 cm, 평균 몸무게는 남자 62.9 kg, 여자 57.1 kg이었다. BMI는 정상 체중군에 포함되는 남자는 42.6%, 여자는 43.4%로 나타났고, 남자의 38.3%, 여자의 43.4%가 거동이 불편한 것으로 조사되었다. 2) 단체급식소에서 사용하는 표준레시피의 1인 분량과 배식량간에 차이가 있고, 실제 섭취량과는 더 큰 차이가 있었다. 그러므로 영양평가시 단순히 식단의 표준레시피를 근거로 수행할 경우 실제 섭취량과 다르기 때문에 큰 오차가 발생할 수 있었다. 이를 해결하기 위해 영양사는 실험조리를 통해 표준레시피의 1인 분량과 실제 1인 분량을 동일하게 관리하는 것이 필요하였다. 음식별 조리중량변화계수는 조리방법, 식재료의 특성에 따라 차이가 있지만, 밥 2.4, 육류 찜, 조림, 볶음류 0.6~0.7, 브로컬리초무침 1.25를 보였고, 미역국과 같이 말린 재료를 불려 만든 맑은 국은 12.5, 동태찌개 1.58, 오징어국 2.60으로 나타났다. 따라서 표준레시피에 의거한 1인 분량은 밥류 237~343 g, 국류 284~375 g, 육류 찬 89.4~95.9 g, 야채찬 55~128.7 g, 김치 40 g이었고, 실제 제공하는 평균 배식량은 밥 239.08 g, 국 283.29 g, 육류찬 88.09 g, 야채찬 45.83 g, 김치 38.41 g이며, 노인의 실제 섭취량은 밥 235.97 g, 국 248.53 g, 육류찬 72.8 g, 야채찬 39.8 g, 김치 28.36 g으로 조사되었다. 메뉴군 별로는 밥류 (98.7%)의 섭취율이 가장 높았고, 다음으로 국 (87.7%), 야채찬 (87.0%), 육류찬 (82.7%), 김치 (73.8%) 순의 섭취율을 보였다. 노인들이 섭취하는 양은 밥을 제외하고 급식소 별로 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다 (p < 0.01). 3) 에너지 및 영양소의 실제 섭취 영양을 일반사항에 따라 비교한 결과, 성별에 따라, 지방, 철, 아연, 리보플라빈의 섭취에 유의적인 차이가 나타났고, 연령에 따라서는 75세 이상의 집단보다 65세 이상 75세 미만의 집단에서 비타민 A와 엽산을 유의적으로 더 많이 섭취하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. BMI에 따라서는 섭취영양에 차이를 보이지 않았으며, 거동 불편여부에 따라서는 단백질, 지방, 칼슘, 인, 나트륨, 비타민 A, 비타민 B6, 나이아신, 비타민 C, 엽산섭취에 유의적인 차이를 보였다. 5) 영양소 적정섭취비율과 질적지수 평가에서 노인급식시설의 점심식사는 철, 칼슘, 리보플라빈이 1 미만으로 낮게 섭취되는 것으로 나타나 개선이 요구되었다. 그러나 단백질 (1.96), 비타민 B6 (1.83), 인 (1.76), 아연 (1.34), 티아민 (1.17), 비타민 C (1.08), 비타민 A (1.06)의 적정 섭취비율은 1 이상으로 나타났다. 그러므로 노인급식을 위한 영양 계획 시 이러한 문제가 되는 영양소들을 공급할 수 있는 식품에 대한 고려가 필요하였다. 또한 복지시설 급식소별로 식사의 질에 대한 평가에 유의적인 차이가 있는 것으로 나타나 노인복지시설에 영양관리 서비스를 제공할 수 있는 영양사의 배치할 수 있도록 정부차원의 지원이 필요하였다. 6) 노인들의 실제 영양섭취 평가 결과, 65세 이상 75세 미만의 집단에서 칼슘을 부족 섭취하는 비율은 남녀 모두 100%였고, 비타민 A는 남자 17.4%, 여자 10.7%, 리보플라빈은 남자 34.8%, 여자 35.7%, 비타민 B6는 남자 4.3%, 여자 14.3%가 부족하게 섭취하고 있는 것으로 조사되었다. 65세 이상 75세 미만의 집단에서 티아민 (10.7%), 나이아신 (7.1%), 비타민 C (10.7%)는 여자에게서만 부족 섭취가 나타났다. 75세 이상의 집단에서는 여자에게서만 단백질이 4.0%부족한 것으로 나타났고, 칼슘은 부족 섭취하는 비율이 남녀 모두 100%였다. 이상의 결과에서 노인 복지시설에 영양사를 배치하여 영양상담과 급식서비스를 원할히 제공함은 물론이고, 보다 정확한 영양평가를 위하여 표준레시피 량과 실제 배식량 간에 차이를 줄일 수 있도록, 실험조리를 통해 표준레시피에 따른 1인 분량 설정과 조리중량변화계수의 산출과 기록관리가 필요하였다. 더 나아가 잔식량 측정을 병행하여 배식량과 섭취량간의 차이를 지속적으로 모니터링하는 노력이 필요하였다. 본 연구에서 채택한 조리변환계수, 잔식률, 섭취율을 이용하여 영양평가 하는 방법은 정확한 영양진단 방법론으로 활용될 수 있으며, 특히 조리중량계수는 조리후 완성된 음식물의 량을 예측하는데 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Purpose: The necrotizing fasciitis is a terrifying infectious disease that can rapidly spreads to surrounding tissues when fascia is infected and it can cause sepsis to death if not properly diagnosed and treated. The purpose of this study is to investigate the characteristics, causes, and treatment methods of necrotizing fasciitis in Korea through reviewing patients admitted to our burn center. Methods: 21 patients with necrotizing fasciitis were selected for this study among those inpatients with electronic medical records (EMR) admitted to Hallym University Hangang Sacred Heart Medical Center from Jan 1, 2008 to June 30, 2019. The medical records and wound photos of those 21 selected subjects were reviewed. Results: There were 13 male and 8 female patients and mean age was 58.76 years old. 13 of 21 subjects were survived and 8 died (38% mortality rate). The surgical treatments performed were I&D, fasciotomy, debridement, allograft, burring, STSG, flap, and amputation. The most common causes were burns in 9 subjects (6 contact burns) and cellulitis occurred on skins in 5 subjects. And other various causes were observed as fournier's gangrene, stab wound, intramuscular injection, tumor and bleu toe syndrome (toe necrosis). The infected areas were 11 feet and legs, 7 hips, 3 abdomen and trunk in 21 subjects. Of the 8 deaths, 3 were infected in feet and legs, 2 were infected in hips, and 2 were infected in abdomen and trunk. As for underlying diseases, 12 patients with hypertension or diabetes were the highest and others such as cancer and stroke were found. Conclusion: The only method to increase the survival rate is to 'suspect' the disease as much as possible and perform early extensive excision. It is advisable to treat the disease by the burn center to properly provide adequate and optimal wound management, infection control, medical care and nutritional supports.

In order to obtain baseline data for the development of an educational program on breastfeeding, a survey was carried out to investigate infant feeding practices, the characteristics the subjects have in common, and the factors that influence the feeding methods among women in Seoul and the Chungbuk area. Subjects included 671 lactating mothers who visited public health centers or pediatric clinics between December 1999 and February 2000, and were interviewed using a questionnaire. The results were as follows : With respect to feeding methods, the incidence of breastfeeding, formula feeding, mixed feeding and formula feeding switched from breastfeeding was 20.6%, 29.8%, 11.6%, and 38.0%, respectively. With respect to the characteristics the subjects had in common, the incidence of women who planned their infants' feeding methods before pregnancy, during pregancy, and after delivery was 48.7%, 31.0％, and 20.3%, respectively. The incidence of women who started breastfeeding in the hospital after delivery was 38.8％. About seventy seven percet of the subjects had not previously attended an educational program on breastfeeding, and most of these wanted to participate in the future in an educational program to learn about breastfeeding. Some of the topics they were interested in were“Nutritional Management for Sufficient Breast Milk”(60.3%),“Breast Care”(25.0%), and“Correct Nursing Positions”(9.8%). Most (88.2%) of the women who breastfeed suffered from physical discomforts including discomfort of the waist, and legs and discomfort due to cracked or sore nipples. “Insufficient breast milk”was the main reason for breastfeeding cessation or for switching to formula feeding. With respect to formula feeding practices, the main reasons for selecting a specific brand of formula were“the same brand the hospital used after delivery”(34.3%) and“an advertised brand”(23.3%). The strongest factor for promoting breastfeeding was“the support of husband or parents”, next were “breastfeeding in the hospital after delivery”and“planning to breastfeed before pregnancy”in that order. The characteristics the subjects had in common relating to formula feeding were“mother's job”,“high economic level”,“Caesarian section”and “planning to breastfeed after delivery”. In conclusion, it is recommended that breastfeeding be pro-moted, and educational programs be developed and offered as soon as possible to each group which had unfavorable attitudes toward breastfeeding. In addition, the monitoring and supervision of formula advertisements is required to protect consumers from the adverse effects of exaggerated advertising.

Objectives: This study examines the intake of food and nutrients of children according to the employment and working hours of their mothers. Methods: The married women in the source data from the 6th National Health and Nutrition Survey were classified into full-time working mothers, part-time working mothers and housewives according to the working type and the data on their children from 3 to 18 years old were analyzed using SAS 9.4. Results: The group from 3 to 5 years old was the smallest group with 682 children (20.2%), followed by the group from 6 to 11 years with 1,345 children (39.8%) and the group from 12 to 18 years old with 1,355 children (40.1%). The lowest rates for having no breakfast and dinner were observed in the group with housewives (p<0.05). The calcium and phosphorous intakes were the highest in the group with housewives at 61.9% and 126.8%, respectively, and the lowest in the group with full-time working mothers at 54.7% and 115.3%, respectively (p<0.05). The group with full-time working mothers had the highest rate in the calcium and iron intake less than the dietary reference intake at 74.9% and 30.0%, respectively. It indicated that the group with full-time working mothers did not have sufficient nutrients as compared to the other two groups. Moreover, the group with the part-time working mothers showed the high vitamin A intake ratio of 41.4% (p<0.05). Conclusions: This study found evidence of a negative association between mother's employment status and children's diet quality. The employment and economic activity of married women will continuously increase in the future. Therefore, a national nutrition policy is required to provide quality nutrition care for children in the households.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to investigate cancer-specific survival (CSS) and associated risk factors in elderly gastric cancer (EGC) patients. SUBJECTS/METHODS: EGC patients (≥ 70 yrs) who underwent curative gastrectomy between January 2013 and December 2017 at our hospital were included. Clinicopathologic characteristics and survival data were collected. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was used to extract the best cutoff point for body mass index (BMI). A Cox proportional hazards model was used to determine the risk factors for CSS. RESULTS: In total, 290 EGC patients were included, with a median age of 74.7 yrs. The median follow-up time was 31 (1-77) mon. The postoperative 1-yr, 3-yr and 5-yr CSS rates were 93.7%, 75.9% and 65.1%, respectively. Univariate analysis revealed risk factors for CSS, including age (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.08; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.01-1.15), intensive care unit (ICU) admission (HR = 1.73; 95% CI, 1.08-2.79), nutritional risk screening (NRS 2002) score ≥ 5 (HR = 2.33; 95% CI, 1.49-3.75), and preoperative prognostic nutrition index score < 45 (HR = 2.06; 95% CI, 1.27-3.33). The ROC curve showed that the best BMI cutoff value was 20.6 kg/m². Multivariate analysis indicated that a BMI ≤ 20.6 kg/m² (HR = 2.30; 95% CI, 1.36-3.87), ICU admission (HR = 1.97; 95% CI, 1.17-3.30) and TNM stage (stage II: HR = 5.56; 95% CI, 1.59-19.43; stage III: HR = 16.20; 95% CI, 4.99-52.59) were significantly associated with CSS. CONCLUSIONS: Low BMI (≤ 20.6 kg/m²), ICU admission and advanced pathological TNM stages (II and III) are independent risk factors for CSS in EGC patients after curative gastrectomy. Nutrition support, better perioperative management and early diagnosis would be helpful for better survival.

The objectives of this study were to analyze the operational characteristics and to explore the substantiality plan of inpatient diets for foreigners in hospitals. Questionnaires were mail-delivered to 128 hospitals, and a total of 62 questionnaires were usable with a response rate of 48.4 percent. Statistical data analysis was completed using SPSS Win 11.0 for descriptive analysis, independent t-test, and ${\chi}^2$ test. Results can be summarized as follows. The average number of inpatient meals for foreigners in the last 6 months were 405 and 53 for general therapeutic diets and special therapeutic diets, respectively. The rates of hospitals with an exclusive department and exclusive staff for foreign inpatients were 48.4% and 53.2%, respectively. Major nationalities of foreign inpatients were China (37.5%) and Russia (31.3%), and their major medical departments were internal medicine (43.9%) and surgery (39.0%). The number of hospitals that provided inpatient diet only for foreigners was 42 (72.4%) and influencing factors were number of permitted beds (P<0.05), an exclusive department (P<0.001), and exclusive staff (P<0.01). The main type of menu was USA European style (61.1%), and the price of inpatient meals for foreigners was mostly \10,000~\25,000 (62.0%). As 75.9% of hospitals did not possess dietary slip manuals for foreigners, the case of preparing inpatient meals for foreigners in the form of a general therapeutic diet partially-modified according to disease was the majority (55.4%). Dietitians felt the need for nutrition management guidelines and dietary slip manuals (47.3%) as a substantiality plan of inpatient diets for foreigners. There is a need for exclusive foodservice standards for foreign inpatients in the changing medical environment.

The principal objective of this study was to provide basic data regarding health care services for middle-aged men, via an analysis of the relationships among stress level, food habits and well-being-related attitudes with social-demographic characteristics and health-related factors. The main findings of this study were as follows. The average age of the participants was $48.7{\pm}5.2$. With regard to health status, 18.8% of the participants were diagnosed with digestive diseases within the past year. Stress levels were higher in the participants with lower levels of educational attainment. Furthermore, participants who had become divorced or lived separately from their families, participants who did not have their own houses, and participants who reported low marital satisfaction also had high levels of stress. Our food habits scores revealed meaningful differences among the study subjects, and were shown to vary with marital satisfaction, occupation, and residence type. In terms of both the importance and practice level of well-being-associated food habits, the most frequent response in this study was 'Consume home-made food rather than processed or ready-to-eat food' ($4.30{\pm}0.86$, $3.68{\pm}1.04$). In terms of importance level, the factors most relevant to well-being in terms of food habits were education level, marital satisfaction, residence type, self-assessed health status, smoking, drinking, regular exercises and leisure activities. With regard to practice levels, the degree to which subjects engaged in food habits targeted toward well-being differed meaningfully depending on marital status, marital satisfaction, residence type, family type, self-assessed health status, smoking, drinking, nutritional supplement intake, regular exercises and leisure activities. After analyzing the correlation among stress level, food habit score and the attitude towards well-being-related dietary habits (importance and practice level), we observed a meaningful relationship between the four factors at the level of p<0.001. According to the above result, continuous attention to health, including the appropriate control of smoking and drinking, as well as, stress management, via regular exercises and appropriate food habits is expected to exert a positive influence on the prevention of disease, and is also expected to improve quality of life. For all well-being-associated items, the importance level was shown to be higher than the practice level. Thus, in order to foster health-oriented food habits, we recommend that a new plan be designed, targeted toward ease of active practice for middle-aged men.

Background: To evaluate the perception of cancer patients toward treatment services and influencing factors and to inquire about the use of complementary alternative medicine (CAM). Materials and Methods: Information was obtained through pre-tested structured questionnaires completed by cancer patients during treatment at King Abdulaziz University Hospital, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Results: Of 242 patients, 137 (64.6%) accepted to enter this study. Most were Saudi (n=93, 68%), female (n=80, 58%), educated at university (n=71, 52%), married (n=97, 72%) and with breast cancer (n=36, 26%). One-hundred (73%) patients were satisfied with the services provided; 61% were Saudi. Ninety-four (68%) respondents were satisfied with the explanation of their cancer. Twenty-eight (21.6%) patients received CAM, of them 54.0% received herbal followed by rakia (21.0%), nutritional supplements/vitamins (7.0%) and Zamam water (18.0%), with significant differences among them (p =0.004). Seven (5%) patients believed this therapy could be used alone; 34 (25%) patients believed it could be used with other treatments, regardless of whether they themselves used this therapy. Fifty-three (53%) satisfied patients felt they received enough support; 31 (58%) patients received support from family and friends; 22 (41.6%) patients received support from the health-care team. Patients who received information about their disease from their physicians and those who felt they had enough support were more satisfied. The patients who took alternative treatment were older age, mostly female and highly educated but values did not reach significance. Conclusions: We stress enhancing the educational and supportive aspects of cancer-patient services to improve their treatment satisfaction and emphasize the need for increasing the educational and awareness programs offered to these patients.

Objectives: Being overweight or obese is central to metabolic syndrome, and these characteristics constitute dominant risk factors for chronic diseases. Although behavioral factors, including eating habits and sedentary lifestyles, are considered to be determinants of obesity, the specific childhood factors that contribute to this condition have not been clearly defined. Methods: The subjects consisted of 261 children aged 7- 9 years who were recruited from an elementary school during October 2003. Information was obtained from their parents using a questionnaire focused on eating behaviors and lifestyle factors, additional data were also collected via anthropometric measurements and biochemical examinations, including blood tests. Results: A total of 48 (18.4%) of the 261 children were overweight, and 34 (70.8%) had at least one other component of metabolic syndrome. Eating behaviors emerged as significant lifestyle-related risk factors for being overweight or obese. Those who engaged in overeating more than twice per week had three times the risk of being overweight (odds ratio [OR], 3.10, 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.39 to 6.92), and those who ate rapidly had three times the risk of being overweight (OR, 3.28; 95% CI, 1.68 to 6.41). Those who had fewer family meals (fewer than 2?3/month) had a nine times higher risk of being overweight than those who had family meals more frequently (at least 1/day) (OR, 9.51; 95% CI, 1.21 to 74.82). Conclusions: This study showed that being overweight or obese during preadolescence is associated with a higher risk of metabolic syndrome and is related to unhealthy eating behaviors. Thus, weight-control strategies and healthy eating behaviors should be developed early in life to reduce the risk for metabolic syndrome.
