Abstract Background: The obesity rate has increased in South Korea as a result of changing dietary habits and decreasing physical activity. This study aimed to evaluate the relationships between eating rate and obesity.Methods: Multiple logistic regression analyses were conducted using raw data of the Korean Community Health Survey 2017 for the Gangwon Province and nationwide data to evaluate the relationships between eating rate and obesity.Results: Among men, the major factor affecting obesity was an eating rate of ≤ 20 min (odds ratio = 1.17 (1.03, 1.33); P < 0.01). In case of women, factors affecting obesity were an eating rate of ≤ 20 min (odds ratio = 1.15 (1.02, 1.29); P < 0.05), and irregular mealtimes (odds ratio = 1.16 (1.03, 1.30); P < 0.05).Conclusion: Implementing simple strategies to improve dietary and lifestyle habits may assist in weight and obesity management. These findings may provide useful strategies for future developing a culture-oriented approach to obesity management.

Hand hygiene is the most effective strategy to prevent infectious diseases. This study investigated and compared the hand hygiene practices of adults with diabetes and an age- and gender-matched comparison group. Adults with diabetes (n = 22,920) who participated in the 2015 Korea Community Health Survey and an appropriate comparison group (n = 22,920) were selected. Descriptive analyses, chi-square tests, and multiple logistic regression analyses were used. Greater than 98% of participants with diabetes recognized that hand hygiene helps prevent infectious diseases. Among participants with diabetes, 84.3%, 82.4%, 72.5%, and 64.1% washed their hands frequently before eating, after using the restroom, after returning from the outdoors, and with soap or hand sanitizer, respectively, but these values were significantly lower than those of the comparison group. After performing multiple regression analyses, treatments for diabetes, being educated about diabetes management and handwashing, and awareness of hemoglobin A1c levels were significantly associated with hand hygiene practices in participants with diabetes. Almost all people with diabetes were aware of the efficacy of hand hygiene, but handwashing rates were significantly lower in people with diabetes than in the comparison group. Considering treatments for diabetes, educational campaigns regarding handwashing, and increasing awareness of handwashing efficacy will help improve hand hygiene in people with diabetes.

RÉSUMÉLes chutes constituent une cause de morbidité et de mortalité fréquente chez les personnes âgées. Bien que plusieurs études aient exploré les liens entre les chutes des bénéficiaires de soins plus âgés et la santé de leurs aidants, peu de recherches ont abordé les liens entre les tâches effectuées par les aidants âgés et leurs propres chutes. La présente étude a évalué les rapports entre, d’une part, les chutes des aidants et, d’autre part, la fréquence et le type de tâches assumées par des aidants naturels plus âgés. Les données, tirées de l’Enquête sur la santé des collectivités canadiennes - Vieillissement en santé (ESCC 2008-2009; N=2934), ont été examinées à l’aide d’analyses descriptives et de régressions logistiques. Les fréquences de prestation de soins plus élevées étaient positivement associées, chez les aidants, avec un plus grand nombre de chutes subies au cours de la dernière année, tandis que les aidants effectuant des tâches ménagères rapportaient moins de chutes. Ces résultats indiquent qu’il pourrait y avoir une relation entre des facteurs associés aux soins fournis et les chutes, chez les aidants plus âgés. De plus amples recherches, utilisant des données longitudinales et expérimentales, sont nécessaires pour mieux comprendre les liens entre les tâches assumées par l’aidant âgé et ses risques de chute.
