This study examined how the participation rates contribute to subjects' outcomes after a nutrition education (once/week) and exercise (3 times/week) intervention program for 12 weeks in 44 obese female subjects. The subjects were divided into two groups: high-participator (HP) or low-participator (LP) groups according to their participation levels based on the median visit value (30 visits out of a total of 48 visits). Daily nutrient intakes assessed by a 24-hour recall, body composition, blood lipid profiles and physical fitness were measured at baseline and after 12 weeks. After the intervention, weight, BMI, percent body fat, and the waist-hip ratio were significantly decreased in the HP group. In addition, the HP group had a greater rates of changes in weight (HP group: -6.6% and LP group: -3.1%, p < 0.01), BMI (-7.0% and -3.2%, p < 0.01), percent body fat (-7.8% and -4.2%, p < 0.05), and waist-hip ratio (-3.1% and -0.4%, p < 0.01) compared to the LP group. Energy-adjusted protein, fiber, potassium, vitamin $B_1$, vitamin $B_6$, and vitamin C were significantly increased in the HP group. The HP group showed a significant increase in HDLcholesterol and a decrease in blood pressure, total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, triglycerides, and atherogenic index (AI). While the muscle endurance, muscle strength, power, agility and flexibility were significantly increased in the HP group, agility and balance were improved in the LP group. In addition, dietary behavior score was significantly increased and stress score decreased in the HP group compared to the LP group. High participation rates were correlated with the improvement of the nutrient density (protein, fiber, potassium, Vitamin $B_1$, Vitamin $B_2$, Vitamin $B_6$ and folate), anthropometric parameters (body weight, BMI and percent body fat), serum lipid profiles (HDL-cholesterol, Triglyceride, and AI) and physical fitness (muscle endurance) adjusted for age, menopausal status, alcohol drinking, nutritional supplement use and baseline BMI. Our results suggest that high participation in nutrition education and exercise program was effective not only for weight reduction but also for the improvement of physical fitness in obese women.

This study was conducted to investigate health status and nutrient intakes among 5th grade elementary students at Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 2010. This study was cross-sectional study on 1,384 children (687 boys, 697 girls) from nine elementary schools located in Seoul and Gyeonggi province. The average height, weight and BMI were 145 cm, 40.6 kg $19.2\;kg/m^2$ for boys and 145.4 cm, 38.2 kg, $18.0\;kg/m^2$ for girls. The prevalence of overweight and obesity were 11.3%, 5.2%, respectively. Serum AST, ALT, glucose, HDL-Cholesterol and RBC levels were significantly higher, while TG levels was significantly lower for boys than for girls. The average energy intake was 1772.4 kcal, which was 98.7% of Estimated Energy Requirement (EER). The boys consumed more energy intake (1800.4 kcal) than the girls (1744.7 kcal). Also, they took insufficient calcium and folate (69.1% and 83.3% of Recommended Intake (RI)) and excess sodium (297.6% of Adequate Intake (AI)) and 85.1% of the subjects had breakfast everyday. In general, the proportion of the children who consumed fruits and vegetables at least once or more a day was low. There was a higher proportion of children in boys who had ramyun and milk with sufficient physical activity than those in girls. As a result of this study, we can find risk factors on obesity and metabolic disorders, and the results can be used for an evidence of nutrition education program and the intervention program.

The purpose of this study was to compare the food behavior and nutrient intakes, and the analysis of constituent parts of blood related to iron nutrition conditions and to investigate the correlation between iron nutrition conditions and obesity. Each subject was assigned to one of such as normal(n=55) and obese groups(n=60) according to their obesity index. Their nutritional status, serum iron status were evaluated based in 24-hr dietary recalls, questionnaire and blood analysis. The mean age of the normal group(10.76 years) and that of the obese group(10.95 years) made little difference. The height(p<0.05), weight(p<0.001), and obesity index(p<0.001) in the obese group were higher than those of the normal group in every respect. The 63.55% of the subject of this study gave an answer 'They eat breakfast daily', and the frequency of eating breakfast made little difference. The average intakes of energy were 1669.44 kcal(84.19% of EER) in the obese group and 1673.59 kcal(86.72% of EER) in the normal group respectively, which made little difference between two groups. The intake of nutrients such as calcium and folate was as insufficient as below 75% of RI. The heme iron intake of the obese group was low that of the normal group(p<0.05). Among the major 20 iron resources the iron intake through animal food intake were 1.43 mg(12.00%) in the obese group and 1.93 mg(17.72%) in the normal group respectively. The rating of iron condition in the blood showed that the number of red blood cell(p<0.01), the hemoglobin(p<0.001), and hematocrit(p<0.01) of the obese group were lower than those of the normal group. These results suggest that there should be the right choice of food according to its bioavailability and nutritive guidance to appropriate food behavior, in addition to increasing iron intake to improve iron nutrition conditions of obese male elementary school students.

Food intake patterns and iron nutritional status of male and female college students were studied based on dietary iron density. Dietary data were collected using the method of 24-hour recalls for 3 consecutive days from 106 students, and fasting blood were drawn to measure iron nutritional status indicators such as total iron binding capacity, serum iron, hematocrit, hemoglobin, and red blood cell count. Mean daily iron intakes of male and female students were 13.3㎎ and 10.0㎎, which were 107% and 63% of the RDA, respectively. However, dietary iron density were similar between male and female students as 5.9㎎/1,000㎉ and 5.7㎎/1,000㎉, respectively. The diets were divided into two groups according to iron density; high iron density group (6㎎/1,000㎉ or more) and low iron density group (less than 6㎎/1,000㎉). The students in high density group had lower intakes of energy, especially fat, than those in low density group. Female students in high density group showed significantly higher intakes of iron, and non-heme iron and folate than those of low density group. The students in high density group consumed more rice, hamburger, and eggs, while those in low density group consumed more Ra-myon and alcoholic beverages. The students in high density group consumed greater proportions of iron from plant-origin foods. Vegetables, legumes and seasonings were the food groups that female students in high density group consumed significantly more than those in low density group. Also the percentages of female students with iron deficiency were higher in low density group. These results suggest that diet with high iron density is important to improve iron nutritional status of women, and further research about the effective way to increase iron density in our diet is needed.

The principal objective of this study was to assess the effects of low-calorie diets(LCD) for 8 weeks of medical nutrition therapy in individuals with BMI in excess of $23\;kg/m^2$. 41 over-weight or obese individuals (male=14, female=27, age $28.6{\pm}8.9\;yrs$), none of whom were diagnosed with a medical disease, were administered MNT 4 times over the study period. Approximately $1,100{\sim}1,300\;kcal/day$ were prescribed by a dietitian, via individualized counseling. Anthropometric parameters, daily nutrient intake, and blood levels of leptin, insulin, and lipid profiles were measured prior to and after the 8 weeks of the intervention period. We noted significant reductions in body weight, body mass index (BMI), fat mass (FM), visceral adipose tissue (VAT), abdominal skin-fold thickness, and waist circumference in both men and women. The mean body weight losses in men and women were $3.2{\pm}0.6\;kg$/8 weeks and $2.8{\pm}0.6\;kg$/8 weeks, respectively. However, the % of lean body mass (LBM) in men and women was shown to increase significantly (p<0.05). The daily intake of calorie, fat, protein, vitamin E, folate, and iron were significantly reduced during the LCD period. Blood levels of lipids and glucose were in normal range, and evidenced no changes after LCD. However, the serum levels of leptin in female subjects were significantly reduced (p<0.00l) from $8.9{\pm}4.8\;ng/mL$ to $6.9{\pm}4.8\;ng/mL$. In conclusion, 8 weeks of LCD with individualized counseling by a dietitian effectively reduced body fat and visceral fat in both men and women with BMI in excess of $23\;kg/m^2$.

Objectives: To evaluate the critical environmental factors on healthy-aging of Korean people, we investigated the significant factors influencing health status of septuagenarians living in rural area of Jeonla province, known to be one of the representative longevity regions in Korea. Methods: We divided subjects into healthy group (36M/25F) or poor-health group (26M/73F) based on self-reported health status, body mass index, a number of prescription, and blood test data. General characteristics, physical measurements, lifestyle, dietary behavior and nutrient intake, physical health and mental health data were statistically compared between the two groups. Results: Average age was not different between healthy group and poor-health group in men and women, respectively. In men, significantly favorable factors to health were observed to be higher education, regular exercise, higher grip strength and walking function, body mass index (${\geq}18.5kg/m^2$), moderate frequency of drinking and eating-out, non-smoking, normal red blood cell (RBC) count, higher serum dehydroepiandrosterone-sulfate (DHEAS) level, good digestive function and appetite, normal hearing function, regular meals, adequate vegetable and fruit intake, diverse food intake, adequate energy and nutrients (protein, vitamin $B_1$, $B_6$, C and E, folate, niacin, P, Zn and K) intake, higher mini-nutrient status assessment (MNA) score and low level of depression. On the other hand, in women, those were literacy, living arrangement, moderate frequency of drinking, healthy teeth, higher grip strength and walking function, bone mineral density, normal RBC and white blood cell (WBC) count, higher DHEAS concentration, higher MNA score, normal cognition and memory function, having snack and adequate fruit intake. Conclusions: These results could be useful to plan effective strategies to increase health-life expectancy of Korean old people living in rural areas.

본 연구는 저소득층 노인을 대상으로 하여 식생활 실태 및 건강상태를 조사하여 노인의 건강과 영양상태의 상호연관성 및 이에 영향을 미치는 위험 요인을 파악하고자 실시되었다. 조사는 광주광역시에 거주하는 저소득층 여자노인 92명을 대상으로 하였으며, 조사대상자를 연령에 따라 세 그룹 ($65{\sim}74$세, $75{\sim}84$세, 85세 이상)으로 체위, 혈액, 영양상태 등을 비교하였으며, Nutritional Screening Initiative (NSI) 점수에 따라 $NSI{\leq}3$은 영양 양호군, NSI > 3은 영양 위험군으로 구분하여 영양위험정도에 따른 식생활 관련 건강요인을 비교하였으며 연구결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1) 본 조사대상자의 평균 연령은 79.0세이었으며, 사회경제적 수준이 매우 낮았으며, 치아건강상태 (70.7%) 및 경제적인 이유 (76.1%)로 음식섭취가 부실하였으며 혼자거동하기 힘든 여자 노인의 비율이 48.9%인데, 63.0%의 노인이 혼자 식사한다고 응답하여 저소득층 여자 노인의 사회경제적 위험 요인이 영양상태를 더욱 악화시키는 것으로 조사되었다. 2) 본 조사 대상자가 앓고 있는 주요 질병으로는 고혈압(42.9%), 관절염 및 신경통(33.0%), 당뇨병 (15.4%), 심혈관계 질환 (8.8%), 소화기계 질환 (8.8%) 등의 순이었다. 전체 여자 노인의 44.6%가 비만하였으며, 고혈압, 당뇨병, 심혈관계 질환 중 1개 이상의 질병을 보유한 노인이 53.3%, 대사 증후군을 보유한 노인이 49.3%로서 여자 노인의 건강상태가 전반적으로 불량한 것 판단되었다. 3) 조사대상자의 평균 체중은 54.5, 신장은 147.1cm로서 한국인 영양권장량설정을 위한 체위 기준치와 비교할 때 체중은 더 많은 반면 신장은 낮은 것으로 조사되었으며, 연령증가에 따라 체중과 체단백질이 감소한 반면 체지방은 감소되지 않았고, 체지방 비율이 40.0%, 허리둘레가 87.7cm에 달하였으며, BMI가 25.1 $kg/m^2$으로 전체적으로 비만한 경향을 나타내었다. 4) 연령에 따라 혈압에 유의적인 차이가 없었으며, 혈청알부민을 제외하고는 혈액의 지질성분, 면역성분, 항산화 성분에서 연령별로 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 여자 노인의 평균 수축기 혈압 143.0 mmHg, 공복 혈당은 119.7mg/dl로서 노인의 중요한 건강 문제는 고혈압, 당뇨 등임을 확인할 수 있으며, TNF-${\alpha}$수준이 높아 노년기 염증 반응 증가를 시사하였다. 5) 조사대상자의 영양상태는 매우 불량하였으며, 연령증가에 따라 영양섭취 실태가 더 불량해지는 경향을 나타내고 있으나 연령에 따른 유의적인 차이는 없었다. NSI 점수를 기준으로 하여, 영양 위험군 (NSI>3)에 비해 영양 양호군 $(NSI{\leq}3)$으로 구분된 노인의 하루 3회 이상의 식사 비율이 높았으며, 건강 인지도가 더 좋고, 우울증이 적었으며 운동 실시율이 높고, 당뇨 유병률이 낮았다. 6) 영양섭취 실태와 면역, 염증반응, 항산화 능과의 상관관계를 살펴 본 결과, 혈청의 IL-6와 $TNF-{\alpha}$가 영양상태와 유의적인 상관관계를 나타내어 항 염증성 인자보다는 염증유발인자가 노인의 영양상태와 관련이 있었으며, IL-2, TAS, 공복 혈당 등이 체위와 유의적인 관계가 있어 노인의 영양상태나 체위가 염증반응을 일으켜 노인의 건강에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 것으로 생각된다. 결론적으로, 연령이 증가함에 따라 생리적, 심리적, 사회경제적 요인이 노인의 영양상태에 복합적으로 작용하여, 영양불균형을 초래하고, 만성질환이 있는 경우에는 영양상태가 더욱 불량해지는 등의 건강상의 악순환을 초래하고 있다. 노년기에 건강한 삶을 유지하기 위해서는 적절한 영양소 섭취, 운동, 정상체중 유지가 중요하며 영양문제를 초래할 수 있는 위험요인을 줄여야 될 것이다. 특히, 노인이 양질의 식사를 할 수 있는 방안이 필요하며, 노인의 영양개선 및 건강 증진을 위해서 우리나라 노인의 식습관 및 영양상태, 체위, 질병 등에 관한 종합적이고 체계적인 연구방법에 대한 타당성 연구가 선행되어야 할 것이며 타당성 있는 연구결과를 바탕으로 하여 노인의 영양균형 및 건강증진을 위한 적절한 연구와 지원대책이 필요한 것으로 사료된다.
