Predictors of Quitting Smoking: Results of worksite smoking cessation campaign of a steel manufacturing industry: Myung Hwa Ha, Duk Hee Lee; Korean Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine 2000;12(2):170-178. Published online June 30, 2000; DOI: https://doi.org/10.35371/kjoem.2000.12.2.170

OBJECTIVES
We evaluated demographic, socioeconomic, smoking-related, other health behavior, and disease factors associated with smoking cessation.
METHODS
This study included 5,493 male employees in a steel manufacturing industry, who smoked at health examination underwent in 1998. Quitters were defined as those who had stopped smoking at least one month prior to re-examination in 1999. The information on related factors was collected by self-administered questionnare.
RESULTS
At 12 months of follow-up, 1,955 patients (35.6 %) had quit smoking. The quit rate was higher in middle-aged, white collar, and high rank personnels. The quit rate increased with decreasing amount of cigarette, decreasing duration of smoking, and increasing age of starting smoking. There were higher quit rates among smokers who drank less or exercise. However, the existence of disease did not affect the quit rate.
CONCLUSION
This study showed that many demographic, socioeconomic, smoking-related and other health behaviors associated with smoking cessation. These results could be of use in the other worksite smoking cessation campaigns to enhance the quit rate.

Lead Levels in Maternal and Umbilical Cord Blood: Jin Ha Kim, Jong Kook Moon, Gang Won Park, Kang Woo Bae, Duk Hee Lee, Yong Hwan Lee; Korean Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine 1996;8(3):414-422. Published online December 31, 1996; DOI: https://doi.org/10.35371/kjoem.1996.8.3.414

Abstract PDF: This study was conducted to evaluate the blood lead levels in 141 pregnant women who were not occupationally exposed to lead and their umbilical cord, arid to identify some differences in blood lead levels by living area. ; The subjects-were all delivered at St. Benedict Hospital in Pusan and the blood lead levels were measured by graphite furance atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The summarized results were as follows. 1. The geometric mean lead levels in maternal and cord blood were 8.0+/-1.8microgram/dl, 5.0+/-0.6lmicrogram/dl respectively. 2. Lead levels in maternal (8.7+/-1.7microgram/dl) and cord blood(5.4+/-0.7microgram/dl) of industrial area(n=24) were higher than residential area(n= 124) which were 7.9+/-1.7microgram/dl and 5.0+/-0.6microgram/dl respectively (p<0.05). 3. Maternal blood lead concentration was significantly correlated to cord blood lead concentration (r=0.6090, p<0.001), but other variables (maternal age, paternal smoking, birth weight, etc) were not correlated.

Blood Lead Levels in Children: Yong Hwan Lee, Duk Hee Lee, Jin Ha Kim, In Geun Park, Tae Young Han, She Han Jang; Korean Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine 1995;7(1):82-87. Published online February 28, 1995; DOI: https://doi.org/10.35371/kjoem.1995.7.1.82

Abstract PDF

The authors conducted this study to evaluate some differences in blood lead levels between inner-city and suburban children and obtain the basic data of the reference value of the blood lead concentrations in children. The subjects were composed of 102 children residing in inner-city and 86 children in suburban. Their age range were 6 to 8 years old and the obtained results were as follow; 1. The arithmetic means of the blood lead level in male and fenlale, male, and female children were 7.24, 7,40, 7.08 microgram/100ml, and geometric means were 6.92, 7.08, 6.76 microgram/100ml, respectively. 2. The children residing in inner-city had the higher blood lead levels both male and female than suburban children with statistical signficance (p < 0.05) 3. Seventeen percent of the total subjects had lead cencentrations ( 5 microgram/100ml, and 5.88% of inner-city children and 30.23 % of suburban children had this lead values. But in > or = 10 microgram/100ml group, the inner-city children (20.39 %) were more distributed than suburban chilren(2.33 %) , and 12.33 % of total subjects had this lead values.
