Purpose: This study was undertaken to identify the alcohol drinking status of industrial workers, their health care practice, and dietary behavior, as well as their nutrient intake.
Methods: In July 2019, 220 male subjects working in the Chungnam area were enrolled in the study. Their alcohol drinking status was evaluated by applying the Alcohol Use Disorder Identification-K (AUDIT-K) system. Demographic characteristics, status of health care practice, and dietary behaviors were assessed using a self-administered questionnaire; nutrient intakes were analyzed using 24-hour recalls. Data were analyzed by applying ¥ö2-test, ANOVA, Duncan test, and Pearson¡¯s correlation analysis with SPSS v. 25.0.
Results: Workers were classified by their alcohol drinking status as ¡®normal¡¯ (84, 38.2%), ¡®problem drinker¡¯ (45, 20.5%), ¡®alcohol dependence I¡¯ (60, 27.3%), and ¡®alcohol dependence II¡¯ (31, 16.0%). The alcohol drinking status showed significant differences with age (p < 0.05), monthly income (p < 0.05), smoking status (p < 0.05), and need for weight control (p < 0.05). Moreover, increased alcohol intake resulted in significantly decreased levels of health care practice and dietary behaviors (p < 0.05, p < 0.01, respectively). The energy intake was highest in the ¡®alcohol dependence I¡¯ group, followed by ¡®alcohol dependence II¡¯, ¡®problem drinker¡¯, and ¡®normal drinker¡¯ (p < 0.05). Intakes of vitamin E, vitamin C, and niacin in the ¡®alcohol dependence I¡¯ group were found to be higher than the other groups (p < 0.05). A negative correlation was obtained between alcohol drinking status, health care practice, and dietary behaviors, whereas a positive correlation was determined between alcohol drinking status, energy and water intakes.
Conclusion: Considering these results, we conclude the necessity to consider nutritional and alcoholic education programs for improving the quality of work life of industrial workers, based on their alcohol drinking status.
