In this study, the data from Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) was used to find out the relationship between breakfast patterns and suicide ideation of Koreans. This study used data from the 6th (2013-2015) and 7th (2016) of the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) to analyze 8,508 participants, excluding those without information on breakfast frequency, age, gender, region, income levels, education levels, marital status, subjective health status, and drinking frequency for one year. The frequency of breakfast is classified as “5 to 7 times a week”, “3 to 4 times a week”, “1 to 2 times a week”, and “Rarely” (0 time a week). Whether breakfast accompanied by family members and non-family members was classified as “Yes” or “No” through a self-reported response to the question, “Did you eat with other people for most of the time when having breakfast during the past year?” When asked if he had seriously considered suicide in the past year, the answers were “Yes” or “No” through self-reported response and analyzed it through a chi-square test and multiple logistic regression. Analyses of associations after adjusting the correction parameters such as age, gender and income levels showed that the risk of suicide ideation was statistically significantly 1.41 times higher (OR: 1.41 95% CI 1.09-1.84) in the unaccompanied group, compared to those accompanied family and non-family members at breakfast. Also, the analysis of stratification by age showed that the risk of suicide was 1.45 times higher (OR: 1.45 95% CI 1.04-2.03) in the unaccompanied group, compared to those accompanied family and non-family members at breakfast. With the results of this study, it is necessary to seek ways to ensure that breakfast can be accompanied by family and non-family members, as well as efforts to reduce the rate of skipping breakfast.

The purpose of this study is to identify the potential for prevention of cardiovascular diseases when examinations of dyslipidemia are conducted for high-risk groups of cardiovascular diseases. A systematic literature review was carried out in accordance with the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis) Group's systematic literature review reporting guidelines, and the search keyword was set to this : dyslipidemia and screening and high and risk and group and prevention and (CHD OR CAD OR CVD OR cardio heart disease OR coronary artery disease OR cardio vascular disease) As a result of the review, patients with diabetes and abnormal cholesterol levels were selected as high-risk groups, and the results of the examination of dyslipidemia in high-risk groups could reduce the possibility of cardiovascular disease. Hence, it is also believed that examination should be conducted in consideration of high-risk groups, and it is suggested that the cost effect of dyslipidemia examination for high-risk groups of cardiovascular diseases will continue.

The purpose of this study is to identify factors related to quality of life, focusing on oral health and nutritional status of vulnerable elderly people. A total of 368 middle and high-aged people aged 45 or older were selected as subjects of the study by conducting a full survey of vulnerable residents registered in the C-City Health and Living Center. From October 10 to December 20, 2019, the quality of writing, pronunciation, nutrition, subjective health, and quality of life were measured through a visit interview using structured questionnaires. There was a significant difference in the quality of life for the subjects (P = 0.003) between diabetes (2.93) and non-diabetic (3.09). The greater the discomfort of masticatory movement and pronunciation, the lower the quality of life (r = -0.239, r = -0.241), the higher the nutritional state, the higher the quality of life (r = 0.345). For diabetes, the factors affecting quality of life were subjective health (β= 0.376, P < 0.001), masticatory movement discomfort (β= -0.277, P = 0.049), nutritional status (β= 0.252, P = 0.005), and the modified explanation of the model was 29.1%. Overall, the quality of life of diabetics was an important factor in masticatory movement discomfort and nutrition. Therefore, it is suggested that a strategy is necessary to carry out proper oral health care in diabetes care.
