“… 8 Second, there are remarkable seasonal variations in physical activities and energy requirements between the farming season and off-season among farmers in rural areas in South Korea, and the differences vary further according to the type of farming. 9 , 10 Third, the endogenous circadian clock has been known to regulate energy homeostasis, 11 and there may be differences in the circadian rhythm between farmers and non-farmers living in the same rural area.…”

Background: The prevalence of obesity has been continuously increasing, especially in rural areas of South Korea. Therefore, it is important to examine various genetic, behavioral, and environmental factors associated with obesity in these rural areas. The Korean Society for the Study of Obesity commenced a community-based prospective cohort study of the Gangwon area called the Gangwon Obesity and Metabolic Syndrome (GOMS) study to investigate longitudinal changes in the status of obesity and its related factors. Methods: A total of 317 adults 40-69 years of age were recruited from Hongcheon and Inje districts, Gangwon province, as part of the first wave of this cohort study. Information on participants' demographic, behavioral, psychological, dietary, and environmental factors and past medical histories were collected by self-administered questionnaires and interviewer-administered questionnaires. Anthropometric measurements, blood tests, and a hand grip strength test were performed, and skin keratin and stool samples were collected. Among the 317 enrolled subjects, two participants who did not have anthropometric data were excluded from the data analyses, resulting in an inclusion of a total of 315 participants. Results: The mean age of the 315 participants in the GOMS initial baseline survey was 58.5 years old, 87 of them were men, and the mean body mass index was 24.7±3.7 kg/m 2 . Among all participants, 48.9% had hypertension, 21.4% had diabetes mellitus (DM), 55.6% had dyslipidemia, and 46.0% had metabolic syndrome (MS). Both the prevalence rates of DM and MS were significantly higher in men. Conclusion:The first baseline survey of the GOMS study was initiated, and a more detailed analysis of respondents' data is expected to be continued. Further follow-up and additional recruitment will allow the investigation of risk factors and the etiology of obesity and its comorbidities in rural areas of Gangwon province.

서 론연구의 필요성 1. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the level of dietary behavior in nursing students and also, to investigate factors that influence dietary behavior. Methods: In this study, 250 nursing students who were enrolled in a university school in B city, Korea and who gave written consent completed the questionnaire. The data were collected between June 22 and 30, 2015 and analyzed using t test, one way ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficients and multiple regression. Results: The level of dietary behavior in nursing students was 3.06±0.52. Models including the variables, health concern and dietary self efficacy explained 12% of the variance for dietary behavior. Dietary self efficacy(β=.26, p<.001) was the most influential factor. Conclusion: Based on the outcomes of this study, steps should be taken to design intervention programs that emphasize the health dietary behavior of nursing students. 세를 전후한 대학생들은 육체적 정신적으로 활발한 활동

Background: Aging related decrease in muscle strength and flexibility leads to functional loss of physical ability. Power training is known to improve these capacities and helps in performing daily routine better. Therefore, we modified previously proven and certified sarcopenia intervention exercise for elderly in rural community and applied them to examine the effects on physical fitness and muscle functions to show its applicability. Methods: Subjects were divided into control and exercise group using single-blind method. Exercise group underwent high-speed elastic band training(concentric contraction in 1 second) 2 days per week for 12 weeks. Before and after the intervention, we performed body composition analysis, anthropometric measurement, blood test, blood pressure check, senior fitness test (SFT), upper body and lower body strength examination. Korean version of Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly (K-PASE), and Center for Epidemiological StudiesDepression Scale (CES-D) were also assessed. Results: Body weight in control group was significantly increased (Paired t-test: P＝0.008), although it was consistent in exercise group (Group×Time: P＝0.013). 30-second chair stand (P＜0.001) and 30-second arm curl (P＜0.001) of the senior fitness test were also significantly improved in exercise group compared to control. In addition, muscle strength of knee flexion (P＝0.034) and K-PASE score (P＜0.001) were improved in training group with statistical significance. Conclusions: The modified high-speed elastic band training for rural elderly improved muscle strength and daily physical performance. This result suggests a simple and easy to perform band training could be an excellent solution to prevent sarcopenia in rural elderly. It also supports the evidence that this program would be widely distributed. Korean J Health Promot 2015;15(4):254-261
