Background
Osteoporosis is one of the inevitable diseases affecting an aging society, substantially impacting the quality of life of its population. Protein intake has been shown to be beneficial in reducing the incidence of osteoporosis, and the effects of both animal and vegetable proteins have been studied. However, the relationship between processed meat consumption and osteoporosis has not been studied in Korea. Therefore, we aimed to analyze the correlation between processed meat consumption and incident osteoporosis in adults.
Methods
Our analysis included 1,260 adults aged 50 years and older from the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study (KoGES), recruited between 2005 and 2020. Participants were categorized into two groups according to their processed meat intake, assessed using a semi-quantitative 103-food item food frequency questionnaire. Diagnosis of osteoporosis was based on questionnaire answers. Multiple Cox hazard regression analyses were conducted to examine the association between processed meat intake and incident osteoporosis.
Results
During an average follow-up period of 8.8 years, 230 participants developed osteoporosis. According to the Cox proportional regression models, the hazard ratio (95% confidence interval) of incident osteoporosis in the high intake group was 0.62 (0.41–0.94), compared to the low intake group after adjusting for confounding variables.
Conclusion
These findings reveal that processed meat protein intake is inversely related to the incidence of osteoporosis in adults aged 50 years and older. This in turn suggests that processed meat intake can be proposed as an additional strategy to prevent osteoporosis.

Short-Term Success Rates of Smoking Cessation Support Programs and Factors Predicting Smoking Relapse: Using Data from a Smoking Cessation Clinic in a Hospital: Seung-Hyun Yu, Myeong-Jun Kim, Jin Jeon, Hoon-Ki Park, Hwan-Sik Hwang, Kye-Yeung Park; Korean J Fam Med 2019;40(6):373-379. Published online November 20, 2019; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4082/kjfm.18.0094

Abstract
PDF

Background
Although the number of medical institutions running a smoking cessation clinic is on the rise, there remains a paucity of research on the long- and short-term success rates of smoking cessation programs, as well as on smoking relapse rates, before and after project implementation. This study assessed the general characteristics of patients visiting the smoking cessation clinic, success rate of smoking cessation in the short term, and risks of relapse.
Methods
Medical records from March 2015 to April 2017 were analyzed and telephone surveys were conducted with 151 smokers who visited a hospital smoking cessation clinic from March 2015 to April 2017.
Results
Of the 139 smokers who were eligible for follow-up, 22 (15.8%) failed to quit smoking initially. The clinic’s 6-month success rate of smoking cessation was 64.83%. Those with higher medication compliance had a lower risk of primary failure (odds ratio, 0.056; 95% confidence interval, 0.005–0.609), whereas those with higher age (hazard ratio [HR], 0.128; P=0.0252) and a greater number of visits to the clinic (HR, 0.274; P=0.0124) had a lower risk of relapsing.
Conclusion
The risk of primary failure to quit was higher with low medication compliance, and that of relapsing was higher with lower age and fewer number of clinic visits. Various evaluation and analysis methods can be carried out in the future based on the accumulated data for maintenance of smoking cessation and relapse prevention.

Relationship between Dry Eye Syndrome and Frequency of Coffee Consumption in Korean Adults: Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey V, 2010–2012: Kwon-Jin Jeong, Jong-Gi Choi, Eun-Joo Park, Hyo-Eun Kim, Sun-Mi Yoo, Seung-Guk Park; Korean J Fam Med 2018;39(5):290-294. Published online July 27, 2018; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4082/kjfm.17.0047

Abstract
PDF

Background
Dry eye syndrome is a common health problem in the adult population. Many risk factors including age, sex, prior eye surgery, various chronic diseases, and lifestyle factors can affect its development. We have evaluated the risk of dry eye syndrome based on the frequency of coffee consumption among Korean adult population.
Methods
A total of 9,752 adults with age 19 years and older were randomly selected between 2010 and 2012. They have all participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey V of Korea. Dry eye syndrome was being diagnosed by the physicians at some points in the participant’s lifetime. The average daily coffee intake was divided into the following: less than 1 cup, 1 to 2 cups, and 3 cups or more. Various physio-environmental factors and medical conditions were used as correction variables to assess the risk of dry eye syndrome in relation to the frequency of coffee consumption.
Results
The prevalence of dry eye syndrome decreased to 9.2%, 8.8%, and 6.3% as coffee consumption increased from less than 1 cup to 1–2 cups and more than 3 cups, respectively. However, there was no significant relationship between the frequency of coffee consumption and the risk of dry eye syndrome after adjusting various risk factors.
Conclusion
There is no relationship between the frequency of coffee consumption and risk of dry eye syndrome.

Case Report

Exertional Rhabdomyolysis after Spinning: Youjin Jeong, Hyuk-Jung Kweon, Eun-Jung Oh, Ah-Leum Ahn, Jae-Kyung Choi, Dong-Yung Cho; Korean J Fam Med 2016;37(6):356-358. Published online November 18, 2016; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4082/kjfm.2016.37.6.356

Abstract
PDF

Any strenuous muscular exercise may trigger rhabdomyolysis. We report an episode of clinically manifested exertional rhabdomyolysis due to stationary cycling, commonly known as spinning. Reports of spinning-related rhabdomyolysis are rare in the English literature, and the current case appears to be the first such case reported in South Korea. A previously healthy 21-year-old Asian woman presented with severe thigh pain and reddish-brown urinary discoloration 24–48 hours after attending a spinning class at a local gymnasium. Paired with key laboratory findings, her symptoms were suggestive of rhabdomyolysis. She required hospital admission to sustain renal function through fluid resuscitation therapy and fluid balance monitoring. Because exertional rhabdomyolysis may occur in any unfit but otherwise healthy individual who indulges in stationary cycling, the potential health risks of this activity must be considered.

The Accuracy of the Accelerometers (Actical and Actigraph) among Korean People.: Hyun min Kim, Yun jun Yang, Young suk Yun, En suk Lee, Dong en Lee, Hyo jin Jeon; J Korean Acad Fam Med 2008;29(9):668-674. Published online September 10, 2008

Abstract
PDF

Background: Nowadays, decreased physical activity is considered to be a contributor to increase the prevalence of many diseases such as obesity, coronary heart disease and so on. Many researches demonstrated that regular physical activity reduce all cause mortality. To increase the physical activities of the population, accurate estimation of the activities is needed. Actical and actigraph are confirmed as accurate tools to measure physical activities. But the target populations of the validity studies were not Asian people. Therefore, the accuracy of the accelerometers should be confirmed in Asian people. The accuracy of the tools could be different. Therefore head to head comparison study between the tools would be needed. Methods: Thirty volunteers from the community, ages over 20 yrs, were recruited. The participants put on the two accelerometers (Actical, Actigraph) on the waists, secured with elastic belts, and performed a session of rest and three structured activities (two walking speeds, 4 km/hr and 6 km/hr, and one jogging speed, 8 km/hr). During each activity, expired respiratory gases were collected, and oxygen consumption (VO₂) was measured by indirect calorimetry (Model Quark Ղ₂^Ⱂ). The calories measured by gas analyzer and two accelerometers were compared by correlation analysis using SPSS program. Results: Pearson correlation coefficient between gas analyzer and two accelerometers was calculated at three structured activities. The r in Actical was 0.747, 0.785, and 0.677, at speed of 4, 6, 8 km/hr, respectively (P＜0.05), and the same measures in Actigraph was 0.617, 0.737, and 0.530 (P＜0.05), respectively. Pearson correlation coefficient was also calculated between the two accelerometers, and the r was 0.881, 0.927, and 0.824, at each speed. Conclusion: The Actical and Actigraph are valid tools for measuring physical activities in Korean people. (J Korean Acad Fam Med 2008;29:668-674)

The relationship between osteoarthritis and bone mineral density in the lumar spine.: Jeong Yeol Oh, Choon Woo Lee, Dong Jin Jeon, Hee Tak Ryu; J Korean Acad Fam Med 2001;22(7):1043-1051. Published online July 1, 2001

Abstract
PDF

Background
: Osteoporosis is becoming major health problem in old age and menopausal women, and osteoarthritis is most common joint disease in both ages. The inverse relationship between osteoporosis and osteoarthritis was first noticed 20years ago. However the subject had not been studied in korea. Thus, our objectives is to examine the influence of osteoarthritis on bone density measurements.

Methods : The study group consisted of 120 women, aged over 40 years, who visited for health examination in Health Center of Poondang-Jesaeng general hospital from October 1998 to April 1999. Bone mineral density(BMD) of the lumar spine was measured, using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry(Lunar, Expert XL), and lateal lumbar spine radiograph was taken. Severity of osteoarthritis were scored on osteophytes, disk space narrowing and vertebral body sclerosis.

Results : Postmenopausal women had significantly lower BMD than premenopausal women(P<0.001). Age(r=-0.545,p<0.001), body mass index(r=0.264,p<0.01) and education(r=0.284, p<0.001) were significantly correlated with BMD, but smoking, exercise, radiogrphic OA variables not correlated. However, stepwise multiple regression analysis using osteoporosis related variables and OA variables is indicated that menopausal status, body mass index, age, osteophytes were significantly associated factor with BMD, and lumbar osteophytes explained 2.7% of variation in lumbar spine BMD.

Conclusion : We conclude that, among women, lumbar BMD is higher in those with osteophytosis of the lumbar spine. The effect is largely directed by osteophytes being included in the BMD measurement.
