  • The purpose of this study was to obtain baseline data on dietary management of women's constipation. We estimated the prevalence of self reported constipation, bowel habits and foods & nutrients intake. The subjects were 169 female college students (normal = 92, constipation group = 77) aged 19 to 23 years. We conducted anthropometric measurements, an evacuation habits survey, and a dietary intake assessment for three days by a 24 hour recall method. The prevalence of self reported constipation was 46% (n = 77). Results showed that bowel habits (the difficulty of evacuation, the duration of evacuation and the feeling after evacuation) were significantly different between the two groups. Over 65% of constipation group used laxatives for constipation relief. Frequency of stress and deep sleeping were related with constipation. In daily food consumption and nutrients intake, there was not a significant difference between the groups. However in relation to bowel habits which factors influence constipation, the study showed that the intake of water, potatoes, kimchi, and fruits correlated with evacuation facility. Further, there were no findings in the difference of foods consumption and nutrients intake between the two groups. But some life style changes and food intakes (potato and kimchi) may be useful to improve constipation symptoms in young women.

  • 대학생들의 변비유병률과 배변습관을 알아보고 영양소섭취 상태를 알아보고자 인천지역 대학교에서 건강관련 교양강의를 듣는 수강생들을 대상으로 (남자 166명, 여자 187명) 설문조사와 신체계측 및 3일간 식이섭취 조사를 실시한 결과는 다음과 같다. 조사 대상자의 평균 연령은 남학생 23.5세, 여학생 20.9세이었으며, 자택에서 거주하는 비율이 가장 많았으며 자취, 기숙사, 하숙이나 친척집에 거주하는 순이었다. 남학생의 63.9%, 여학생의 63.1%는 21~40만원의 용돈을 받고 있었고 지난 2개월 동안 남학생의 45.2%, 여학생의 47.1%는 체중을 유지하고 있었다. 로마기준 II를 이용하여 조사한 기능성 변비유병률은 남녀 각각 12.7%, 28.9%, 자의적 변비 유병률은 남녀 각각 12.0%, 36.9%로 여학생이 남학생에 비해 유의적으로 높았으며 일반사항에 따른 기능성 변비와 자의적 변비의 차이는 보이지 않았다. 자의적 변비 중 남학생의 35.0%, 여학생의 44.9%만이 기능성 변비의 진단기준에 부합하였고, 본인은 변비가 아니라고 응답했지만 기능성 변비의 진단기준에 부합한 경우는 11.4%이었다. 본인이 변비라고 인식하는 경우 남학생의 94.7%, 여학생의 91.0%는 의료기관을 방문한 경험이 없었고 남학생은 모두 변비약이나 건강기능식품을 이용하고 있지 않았으며 여학생은 변비 완화를 위해 10.3%가 변비약, 11.8%가 건강기능식품을 복용하고 있었다. 배변습관 조사 결과 남학생의 75.3%, 여학생의 40.1%는 주 5회 이상 배변을 하고 있었고, 변의 양은 2 cup 이상이라고 응답한 경우가 남학생은 93.4%, 여학생은 75.9%로 남학생이 많은 경향을 보였다. 남녀 모두 대상자의 70%정도가 배변 후 상쾌하다고 하였으며 남학생의 49.4%, 여학생의 24.6%만이 규칙적으로 배변을 하였다. 신체계측치와 영양소 섭취량 분석 결과 기능성 변비와 자의적 변비 유무에 따른 차이는 보이지 않았으나 단백질의 경우 성별이나 변비 유무와 상관없이 RI에서 UL 사이로 섭취하는 비율이 가장 높았고, 남학생은 여학생에 비해 EAR 보다 낮게 섭취하는 비율이 유의적으로 높았다. 비타민 C, Vit $B_2$, 엽산, 칼슘, 아연의 섭취는 EAR 이하로 섭취하는 비율이 모두 50%를 넘어 영양소의 섭취량이 매우 낮음을 알 수 있었고 특히 엽산은 남녀 모두 95% 이상이 EAR 이하로 섭취하고 있어 섭취 부족이 심각하였다. 변비와 관련이 있는 것으로 알려진 식이섬유 섭취량은 1,000 kcal당 섭취량으로 환산에 남학생은 8.5 g, 여학생은 8.9 g으로 한국인 영양섭취기준의 식이섬유 충분섭취량에 훨씬 못 미치는 수준이었다. 여학생의 경우 기능성 변비의 유병률은 28.9%, 자의적 변비의 유병률은 36.9%로 조사되었는데, 본인은 변비가 아니라고 응답했지만 기능성 변비의 진단기준에 부합한 경우도 13.6%이며 본인이 변비라고 응답한 경우의 대다수는 의료기관 방문이나 약물, 기능성 식품 섭취 같은 노력도 하지 않고 있어 만성적 변비로 인한 질병의 위험이 우려된다. 또한 식이섬유 섭취를 비롯한 각종 영양소들도 균형 있는 섭취를 하고 있지 않아 이후 다가올 임신기와 수유기의 영양문제로 이어질 것이므로 올바른 영양섭취를 비롯한 적절한 영양교육이 활성화 되어야겠다.

  • The aim of this study was to investigate the dietary and lifestyle factors related to bowel pattern of female high school and college students in Gyeonggi Province. The total of 202 self-administered questionnaires (high school students 77 ; college students 125) were analyzed. All respondents were devided into four groups based on their self-reported pattern of defecation: 18 subjects ($9.0\%$) comprised the normal group, 73 ($36.1\%$) the constipation group, 73 ($36.1\%$) the constipation/diarrhea group, and 38 ($18.8\%$) the diarrhea group. Regularity of exercise was significantly higher in the college students than high school students, and times spending on a chair were longer in the high school students than college students. Most students ($72.7\%$) reported that they had stress. Fourty point six percent of the subjects reported that they had 3 meals per day, which tended to be higher in the normal and diarrhea group than constipation and constipation/ diarrhea group. Most students (69.7) skipped breakfast which was lower in the normal group than the other groups. The most preferred dietary fiber food was korean cabbage kimchi. Fifty-eight point four percent of the subjects reported that they had irregular bowel movement. Bowel movement was more irregular in the high school students than college students, and in the constipation group than the other groups. Of the subjects, $77.7\%$ had defecation frequency between three per week and three per day. Those who spent within 10 minutes for defecation were $79.6\%$, and those had difficulty in evacuating were $76.0\%$. High school students and those with constipation and constipation/diarrhea had a significantly lower defecation frequency, longer time spent at the toilet, and greater difficulty in evacuating than college students and normal and diarrhea group. The percentage of those who had feelings of residue in the intestine after defecation was $92.5\%$, and it was greater in the constipation or diarrhea group than in the normal group. Most students ($93.5\%$) reported that they had abdominal pain or discomfort. These results suggest that decreasing times spending on a chair, decreasing stress, keeping 3 meal per day at regular hours, and increasing dietary fiber intake are associated with desirable bowel pattern.

  • The purpose of this study was to examine bowel habits, dietary habits, and nutrient intake of constipated adults, and the effects of prune products on relieving constipation symptoms. Fifty one adults with self-reported constipation (mean age 23 years, range 19-41 years, 10 males and 41 females) participated in this study. After a baseline survey on bowel habits and dietuy habits, participants were asked to consume at least 50 g of prune and 200 ml of prune juice per day during a 4-week period in addition to usual diet. Nutrient intake was estimated by a 24 hour recall at the baseline and once every week by diet records during the intervention. Data were analyzed after classifying the subjects into mild constipation group and severe constipation group by the severity of the symptoms. During the intervention, the subjects with mild constipation consumed 56 g of prunes (about 5.6 fruits) and 200 ml of prune juice, and the subjects with severe constipation consumed 59 g of prunes (about 5.9 fruits) and 207 ml of prune juice. Average intakes of energy, dietary fiber and water of the subjects in the mild constipation and severe constipation group increased during the intervention compared to the baseline. Average dietary fiber intake of the mild constipation and severe constipation groups significantly increased from 12.5 g and 11.6 g at the baseline to 18.5 g and 16.8 g after consuming prune products, respectively. These changes were accompanied by an increase in the number of bowel movements, a decrease of defecation time, a change to a softer stool consistency, and a decrease of abdominal pain during defecation. Seventy two subjects answered that prune products were effective to improve their overall constipation symptoms. Our data show that supplementation of prune products is effective to provide energy, dietary fiber and water, and to relieve constipation symptoms for constipated adults.

  • Background: Although insomnia and constipation are highly prevalent worldwide, studies examining a possible association between them are lacking. We examined the relationship between insomnia and constipation in shift workers who have a high prevalence of insomnia and other diseases. Methods: This study had a multicenter cross-sectional design and conducted using health examination data including self-reported questionnaires. In total, 12,879 and 4,650 shift workers were enrolled in Severance Hospital and Wonju Severance Hospital, respectively, during 2015-2017. Multivariate logistic regression models and subgroup analysis were performed in each center with the same protocol, using a common data model. Results: The mean age of the total population was 44.35 (standard deviation = 8.75); the proportion of males was 56.9%. Female sex, being underweight and non-smoker were strongly associated with an increased risk of constipation symptom (p < 0.001). Pooled odds ratios (ORs) were calculated using ORs of both centers with weights; there was a significant dose-response relationship (sub-threshold 1.76 [95% confidence interval [CI] 1.62-1.91]; moderate 2.28 [95% CI 2.01-2.60]; severe 4.15 [95% CI 3.18-5.41] in the final model, p for trend < 0.001). Subgroup analysis performed by stratifying sex and pooled ORs showed a similar trend to that of the entire group. Conclusion: We observed a strong correlation between insomnia and constipation in this population. Our findings may help in formulating guidelines and policies to improve quality of life in shift workers through the management of sleep quality and proper bowel function. This study is the first to report this relationship among people working in shifts.

  • Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of weight loss in Korean Medicine (KM) obesity treatment combined with self-monitoring and to identify the relevant factors which are related to successful weight loss. In addition to this, adverse events reported by the patients were analyzed to assess the safety of KM treatments for obesity Methods: This was a retrospective observational study that analyzed the medical records of the patients that participated in the 10-week of KM treatment. All patients took herbal medicine for weight loss and were instructed to reduce calorie intake and adhere to self-monitoring. Clinical data including body weight were collected for evaluating the effect of the treatments. Behavior factors affecting weight loss were collected. The correlation between each factor and weight loss was analyzed. Adverse events (AEs) were collected at each time to evaluate the safety of the intervention. Results: One hundred eighteen patients' records were included in this study. The average weight loss was 7.64kg(74.59kg to 66.95kg). 94.9% of patients lost 5% or more of their initial weight. The degree of weight loss was identified to be related to self-assessment of diet control and self-assessment of appetite control. The average self-weighing frequency significantly increased(2.45 times/week before treatment and 4.70 times/weeks during treatment). Constipation, insomnia, and dizziness were found to be the most frequent AEs, and except for one case, most AEs were mild cases. Conclusion: From this study, we found that KM obesity treatment combined with self-monitoring showed significant weight loss without serious AE.
