This study aims to look into the relationship between the parents's family history of diabetes and factors of metabolic syndrome focusing on Korean adult males with a family history of diabetes. The data used for the study was collected from the 2010 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. The subjects of the study totaled 2,045. For statistical analysis, double sampling general linear regression was used and the statistical significance was p<0.05. As a result of a multi-variate analysis with general characteristics corrected, the following was discovered: when fathers had a family history of diabetes, girth increased by 2.5cm, fasting blood sugar(glu) increased by 9.6mg/dL and neutral fat increased by 41.6mg/dL When the mothers had a family history of diabetes, girth increased by 2.4cm, fasting blood sugar(glu) increased by 15.4mg/dL, and the neutral fat increased by 27.2mg/dL. In conclusion, when the fathers had a family history of diabetes, their children's girth, fasting blood sugar and neutral fat were significantly higher, and when the mothers had a family history of diabetes, their children's girth and fasting blood sugar were significantly higher.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of family health on self-regulation and social competence in infants of single-parent families. The subject of this study was a survey of 350 children aged 3 to 5 who were enrolled in a kindergarten located in Seoul. Parents were asked to respond, and the collected data were analyzed using SPSS Statistics and SPSS Process Macro, and multiple regression analysis, Pearson's correlation analysis, and bootstrapping analysis were performed. The research results were as follows. First, the family health of single-parent families was partially positively correlated with self-regulation and social competence of infants. Second, it was found that the self-regulation ability of infants had a mediating effect on the relationship between single-parent family health and the social competence of infants. Considering the results of this study, it could be understood that the social competence of infants is affected by the relationship between family members rather than the family type of a single-parent family.

Purpose : In previous studies, various risk factors for recurrent febrile seizures have been identified. But none of these risk factors alone could sufficiently discriminate children at high or low risk for recurrent seizures. Therefore, we tried to identify patients at high risk of recurrent febrile seizures by combining risk factors. Methods : Two hundred and four children who had been admitted to our hospital from March, 1997 to July, 1999 with their first febrile seizures were enrolled in our study, and followed up over 2 years. We investigated the recurrence rate according to variables such as sex, age at first febrile seizure, family history of febrile seizures or epilepsy, type of the first seizure, neurologic abnormality and EEG abnormality. Results : Family history of febrile seizures and age at first febrile seizure(<12 months) were significant independent risk factors for recurrent febrile seizures. With these two combined factors, four groups were allocated and the recurrence rate by each group was designated as follows: group with no family history of febrile seizures and age at first febrile seizure ${\geq}12$ months (no risk factor), 43.8%; the group with no family history and age <12 months(one risk factor), 61.7%; group with family history and age ${\geq}12$ months(one risk factor), 64.5%; group with family history and age <12 months(two risk factors), 90.4%. Conclusion : A correlation between numbers of risk factors and recurrence rate was present and the children with a family history of febrile seizures and a young age at onset(<12 months) were regarded as a high risk group of recurrence.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relation among peer support, family strength and self-control. This subjects were the 438 high school students living in Gwangju. Data were analyzed with SPSS 18.0 program. The major findings were as follows; First, the high school students' peer support and family strength scores were higher than median(3.00). Also, long-term satisfaction pursuit scores were higher than median and the immediate satisfaction pursuit scores were lower than median. Second, peer support showed significant difference according to sex. Family strength showed partially significant difference according to standard of living and parents' education achievement. Self-controls showed significant difference according to sex and father's education achievement. Third, family strength and the self-control showed significant correlation. Forth, the high school students' self-control was influenced by role sharing and problem solving, communication and family bonding and fathers' education achievement. And the high school students' self-control was explained about 15% by these variables. In conclusion, the role of home is important. it is necessary to enhance the education of financial stability and to improve self-control in order to help the students enhance solidity among family and communicate affirmatively.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of weekend forest healing programs using urban forest on family cohesion and family relationship improvement and parental satisfaction with programs. 21 families (65 people)participated in the weekend forest healing program in Incheon Grand Park from April to August 2018. The program using family forest experience activity and forest healing therapy was newly constructed and implemented with 4 times 8 hours for 2 hours each week. The results of this study is that weekend forest healing programs for family gave a positive effect on family cohesion and family relationship, and parents' satisfaction showed high satisfaction in most items. Therefore, we concluded that forest healing activities are suitable for effective healing activities in modern society where functions such as family cohesion and emotional bond are recognized as important by improving family cohesion and family relationship. Further research should be extended to different types of families, and the development of diverse and interesting family-experience forest healing programs that reflect family needs should continue.

The purpose of this study is to examine the associations among family cohesion, self-efficacy, and school adjustment in adolescence. This study investigated these interrelationships using structural equation modeling. The results indicated that family cohesion had effects on school adjustment both directly and indirectly through self-efficacy. The mediating effect of self-efficacy was statistically significant. These results imply that family cohesion and self-efficacy need to be emphasized as a strategy to improve school adjustment among adolescents.

This study examines the causal mechanisms of low fertility and regional differentials in Korea. Utilizing the 2005 census and the 2005 vital statistics, and labor statistics at the regional level, major variables were calculated for administrative units of 234 'Gu's, 'Si's and 'Gun's. Gender equity orientation, labor market insecurity and family formation were hypothesized as key factors of recent decline in Korean fertility. This study first presents four maps of gender equity orientation, labor market insecurity, family formation and fertility. Then ANOVA and path analysis were carried out in an effort to generalize the causal mechanisms. Results of analysis reveal that gender equity orientation has played a central role in the second fertility transition in Korea. In metropolitan regions, however, labor market insecurity is found to have a significant influence on the level of family formation and fertility. Family formation also turns out to be an important intermediate variable of fertility.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of family cohesion and self-care agency on the quality of life in community-dwelling elderly. Using a descriptive survey design, data were collected during September 2-20, 2016 by distributing questionnaires to and retrieving them from 197 elderly participants aged 65 years or older in two senior welfare centers located in "B" metropolitan city. Results showed that family cohesion of community-dwelling elderly was significantly positively correlated with their self-care agency (r=.434, p<.001) and quality of life (r=.544, p<.001), while self-care agency was significantly positively correlated with quality of life (r=.571, p<.001). The factors that had the biggest effect on the quality of life in community-dwelling elderly were identified in the order of self-care agency (${\beta}=0.413$, p<.001) and family cohesiveness (${\beta}=0.365$, p<.001). These variables were found to have an explanatory power of 42.8% for quality of life (F=74.31, p<.001). Therefore, a strategy to improve self-care agency and family cohesion may be helpful in improving the quality of life in community-dwelling elderly.
