Association of weekend catch-up sleep with the atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk score: a hypothesis-generating study from U.S. and Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.

Study Objectives: A proportion of the populations sleeps longer on the weekends. We investigated a possible association between weekend catch up sleep (WCUS) and a known index of later development of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). We tested for an association of WCUS and ASCVD risk scores in 2 existing datasets.

Association of Weekend Catch-Up Sleep With the Triglyceride/High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Ratio.

Purpose: Insulin resistance affects more than just diabetes, influencing overall health. Weekend catch-up sleep (WCUS) might alleviate the adverse health outcomes of ongoing sleep deprivation. The triglyceride/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (TG/HDL) ratio serves as an effective marker for insulin resistance.

Effectiveness of Bisphosphonates in Young Adults With Fragility Fractures: Representative Population-based Cohort Study.

Context: Fragility fractures in young adults present significant clinical challenges due to the limited evidence on the effectiveness of bisphosphonates in preventing subsequent fractures.

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of bisphosphonate therapy in reducing the fracture risk among premenopausal women with a history of osteoporotic fractures.

Design: A population-based retrospective cohort study was conducted using data from the National Health Insurance Service-National Sample Cohort in South Korea, covering the years 2003 to 2014.

Association Between Instant Coffee Consumption and the Development of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: Results From a Community-Based Prospective Cohort.

Background: A poor diet is a risk factor for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The interaction between dietary factors and cigarette smoking in the development of COPD is unclear. We investigated the interactions between dietary patterns and smoking status on COPD-related outcomes.

Association of Infant Feeding Characteristics With Dietary Patterns and Obesity in Korean Childhood.

Objectives: Young children's feeding characteristics can play an important role in eating habits and health during later childhood. This study was conducted to examine the associations of feeding characteristics with dietary patterns and obesity in children.

Methods: This study utilized data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey conducted between 2013 and 2017.

Feeding characteristics in infancy affect fruit and vegetable consumption and dietary variety in early childhood.

Background/objectives: Previous studies have shown an association between breastfeeding and higher fruit and vegetable consumption and the level of dietary variety in children. However, few studies have reported this association on the feeding characteristics. Therefore, this study examined the association of the feeding characteristics with the consumption of fruit and vegetable and dietary variety in children.

Association between long-term air pollution exposure and development of diabetes among community-dwelling adults: Modification of the associations by dietary nutrients.

Background: Studies on the modifying effects of dietary factors on the association between air pollution and diabetes-related outcomes are limited. We examined whether dietary nutrients could modify the association between long-term air pollution exposure and the development of diabetes.

Methods: We used data from the Cardiovascular Disease Association Study, which enrolled adults aged 40-69 years in Korea between 2005 and 2011 and followed them up until 2016 (n = 14,667).

Associations of cold exposure with hospital admission and mortality due to acute kidney injury: A nationwide time-series study in Korea.

Background: Emerging evidence supports an association between heat exposure and acute kidney injury (AKI). However, there is a paucity of studies on the association between cold exposure and AKI.

Objective: We aimed to investigate the associations of cold exposure with hospital admission and mortality due to AKI and to explore whether these associations were influenced by age and sex.

Risk factors associated with tuberculosis recurrence in South Korea determined using a nationwide cohort study.

Objective: Prevention of tuberculosis (TB) recurrence is an important issue in TB control. South Korea, a country with a high average income, has been challenged with an intermediate burden of TB. We aimed to estimate the TB recurrence rate after successful completion of the first anti-TB chemotherapy, and to identify the risk factors for the TB recurrence by focusing on co-morbidities and behavioral factors.

Association between Dietary Patterns and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease in Korean Adults: The Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study.

In addition to smoking, dietary habits may contribute to the development of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This study aimed to examine the association between dietary patterns and lung function in a Korean community cohort. A total of 5436 participants were included from the Ansan-Ansung cohort study.

Association of protein consumption and energy intake on sarcopenia in tuberculosis survivors.

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) causes undernutrition, and it has a long recovery time after treatment. It is accompanied by adverse health outcomes, such as sarcopenia.

Objective: We aimed to evaluate the prevalence of sarcopenia and its association with protein and total energy intakes among Korean TB survivors.

Dietary patterns are associated with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms among preschoolers in South Korea: a prospective cohort study.

Objectives: Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a prevalent neurobehavioral disorder in children. There are limited studies for diet or dietary supplement effects on ADHD in preschool children in Asia. This study aimed to determine the association between dietary patterns in 4-year-old children and ADHD symptoms in 6-year-old children.

The association between metabolic components and markers of inflammatory and endothelial dysfunction in adolescents, based on the Ewha Birth and Growth Cohort Study.

We assessed the association between metabolic health and markers of inflammation and of endothelial dysfunction using data from the Ewha Birth and Growth Cohort Study. The data of 195 subjects aged 13-15 years were analyzed. To assess metabolic syndrome, continuous metabolic syndrome (cMets) scores were calculated.

Association of C-Reactive Protein with Risk of Developing Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, and Role of Obesity and Hypertension: A Large Population-Based Korean Cohort Study.

This study was undertaken to assess the associations of C-reactive protein (CRP) with incident type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and to determine the joint effect of obesity and hypertension on them in the large-scale population-based Korean cohort of the Korean Genome and Epidemiology study (KoGES). We included 22,946 men and women from 11 rural communities at baseline (2005-2011). Epidemiological data and blood samples were collected.

High Prevalence of , , , and Factor 1 Microbes and Association of Spontaneous Abortion among Korean Women.

The purpose of this study was to (i) determine the cervical microbial composition in different abortion samples and to (ii) investigate the correlation between spontaneous abortion and cervical microbes in Korean women. We collected cervical swabs from women who had never undergone abortion ( = 36), had spontaneous abortion ( = 23), and had undergone induced abortion ( = 88) and subjected those samples to 16S rRNA pyrosequencing. Further, factor analysis and correlation between cervical microbiota and spontaneous abortion were evaluated by logistic regression analysis.

Dietary Patterns and Their Associations with the Diet Quality Index-International (DQI-I) in Korean Women with Gestational Diabetes Mellitus.

The aim of this study was to examine dietary pattern, nutritional intake, and diet quality of Korean pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Between October 2008 and May 2012, 166 pregnant women diagnosed with GDM completed a questionnaire and dietary intake was assessed using a 3-day food record. Blood pressure, fasting plasma glucose, and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) concentrations were measured and oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was performed.
