Survey on the State of Nutrition Support Team (NST) Activity: Comparison of the Questionnaire Survey 2016 vs. 2005 and the State of NST Activity since the Introduction of the Medical Insurance Fee: Ji-Yoon Cho, Jung-Tae Kim, Seoung-Lan Kim; J Clin Nutr 2016;8(2):38-44.

The Korean Society of Health-System Pharmacists (KSHP) and Korean Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (KSPEN) jointly performed a nation-wide questionnaire survey on the current state of Nutrition Support Team (NST) activity from March to May of 2016. The aim of the survey was to suggest ways to develop NST as well as to improve the relationship between the KSHP and KSPEN. Compared to the results of the 2005 survey, some progress was made in the activity of NST over the last decade. Not only was the activity of NST settled, but quantitative and qualitative growth was also achieved by activating rounds and regular meeting. On the other hand, the ratio of hospitals providing home care services has decreased. Therefore, further effort is needed for their revitalization.

Background:

The purpose of this study is to collect research data on sugar intake and obesity of Koreans and through systematic review, present our views on the topic.

Materials and Methods:

An analysis of previously reported research studies was conducted through systematic review and data were collected from databases in Korea and other countries. Out of 1,316 studies collected, 7 were chosen for the purpose of this research study.

Result:

According to a study including female Korean high school students and college students in Seoul as the subjects, those who were overweight had slightly lower sugar intake than those who were normal weight. Another study conducted on a large group of females showed that there was no substantial difference in the level of sugar intake between the “Obese Group” and the “Normal Weight Group.” In the group of Korean adults with a high level of carb consumption, the cross ratio of the overall sugar intake and obesity showed a tendency to increase, but no significant differences were observed. Intake of sugar-sweetened drinks by children and teenagers (age 7 to 12) in Korea resulted in an increase in the odds ratio of obesity.

Conclusion:

This study does not show that the amount of sugar intake and obesity does not show a direct correlation among Koreans. A more developed and thorough study that considers not only the amount of sugar intake, but also other factors such as physical activity or exercise, should be devised.
