The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between knowledge of breast feeding and practice of feeding pattern. A sample of 117 mothers who have the babies between age from 1 month to 12 months were selected from one university hospital and one public heath care center in J city. The data were collected with the questionnaire during the period from the January. 5, 2002 through January. 30, 2002. Analysis was done by using frequency, percentage, t-test, analysis of variance, and scheffe test. The results of this study can be summarized as follows. Comparision of the method of feeding by general characters. Income state, rearing (p=.019), rearing supporters(p=.026), infant age(p=.03) have shown significant difference as the variables affecting Breast practice rate. Breastfeeding rate were 24.8%, mixedfeeding type, 14.5%, milkfeeding type, 60.7%. The mean of knowledge on breastfeeding by feeding patterns were the highest in the group of breastfeeding. There was statistical significance between the group of breast feeding and milkfeeding(p=.000). In the conclusion, this study revealed that knowledge of breastfeeding promoted practice of breastfeeding. Therefore, to promote practice of breastfeeding, it is necessary that nurses provide adequate information about knowledge of breastfeeding.

BACKGROUND: To investigate the relationship between body composition and bone mineral density (BMD) in preand post-menopausal women in Korea. METHODS: The data of 4,334 pre- and post-menopausal women older than 20 years from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey conducted in 2008-2009 were assessed. BMD and body composition were measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. All analyses except stepwise multiple linear regression analysis were performed using the KNHANES sample weights to account for the complex survey design. RESULTS: After adjusting for confounding variables, lean mass and fat mass were positively correlated with BMD at both L1-4 spine and femur neck in both pre- and post-menopausal women (P<0.001). For the pre-menopausal women, lean mass was the most important determinant of BMD at both sites (R2=0.156 for L1-4 spine BMD, R2=0.168 for femur neck BMD), and the impact of fat mass were minimal. For the post-menopausal women, fat mass had a greater influence on the BMD at L1-4 spine than lean mass (R2=0.016 vs. R2=0.077), but lean mass had a greater impact than fat mass on the BMD at the femur neck (R2=0.077 vs. R2=0.007). After adjusting for confounding variables, post-menopausal osteoporosis increased as both lean mass and fat mass decreased (P(trend)<0.001). CONCLUSIONS: In Korean pre- and post-menopausal women, both lean mass and fat mass had positive correlations with the BMD at both sites and decreased the risk of osteoporosis. Lean mass had a greater influence on premenopausal BMD at both sites and postmenopausal BMD at the femur neck, whereas fat mass had greater influence on post-menopausal BMD at L1-4 spine.

Influenza is a disease known to continue to afflict a large number f people and cause many deaths throughout the world. Influenza A and B are the two types of influenza that cause epidemic human disease. The influenza illness is characterized by the abrupt onset of fever, myalgia, headache, and sore throat. Amantadine and rimantadine have been used to treatment and prophylaxis of influenza, but these agents can only reduce symptomatic illness due to influenza A virus and are ineffective against influenza B virus. Inhibitors of influenza neuraminidase constitute a new class of anti-influenza agents that reduce replication of influenza A and influenza B. Vaccination against influenza virus is the primary strategy to reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with influenza.
