This study was conducted to define dietary patterns and to evaluate the effects of socioeconomic, acculturation and lifestyle factors on dietary patterns among 2,746 Korean- Americans in California. It was a cross-sectional telephone survey based on a representative sampling of individuals with a Korean surname using residential phone listings. It was conducted using a food frequency questionnaire that covered 20 food items, socioeconomic variables such as age, gender, income, education and acculturation, and lifestyle factors such as body weight, alcohol consumption, smoking, exercise and consumption of fast food. Four dietary patterns were identified: American Foods (AF), American Breakfast (AB), Korean Foods (KF) and Vegetables (Ⅴ). AF was associated with younger men, acculturation and fast food consumption. AB was associated with women, higher education, current smoking and fast food consumption. KF was associated with acculturation and lower socioeconomic status. Ⅴ was associated with lifestyle factors such as smoking, exercising and fast food consumption. The results of the study showed that socioeconomic and lifestyle factors influenced the dietary patterns of Korean- Americans. This should be considered when dietary interventions are designed for Korean-Americans to improve their health status.

Lots of forginfs used in automobile and aerospce industries are made in hot or cold working conditions, depending on the size and shape of a product. Usually the die design for new items has been first made on the basis of experiences and many know-hows accumulated in the company and then slightly modified through trial and error method to get the desired forgings without defects. Most of drawings at the die design stage have been manually drawn, butrecently some of forging companies have begun to apply a computer-aided drafting technique to the die design for reducing drafting time as well as repeatedly utilizing standardized parts form registerd data base. In this paper the automated die design technique for forward extrusion of axisymmetric forgings is developed by using AutoLISP language. For this study the representative die system is determined form the investigation of several types of forging dies being currently employed in the metal forming field and the design rules for cold extrusion die are summarized and programmed on a personal computer. A few design examples of forward extrusion die are given and discusses.
