The purpose of this study is to examine the moderated mediating effect of family cohesion in the relationships among work-family conflict, job stress, and turnover intension of female low-wage workers. Participants included 190 low-wage workers whose monthly salary was less than 2 million Korean won (approximately $1,900). The results are as follows. First, the work-family conflict was associated with turnover intension. Second, job stress mediate the relationships between work-family conflict and turnover intension, and family cohesion have the moderated mediating effect among these variables. These results suggested that there is a need to enhance policies and programs for work-family compatibility to decrease work-family conflicts and job stress and to strengthen family cohesion to reduce the turnover of female low-wage workers.

Familial concordance of vascular risk factors is well understood and there are many studies about inter-spouse concordance of the risk factors for coronary heart disease. However, there are no studies for inter-spousal relation of the risk factors in cerebrovascular disease patients. We analysed inter-spouse correlation of cerebrovascular risk factors in patients admitted our hospital due to stroke and their spouses. There was statistically significant inter-spouse concordance in the presence of hypertension(p=0.025) and carotid IMT(r=0.479, p=0.001). However, the further age-adjusted analysis revealed no significant result. Differently from the results of previous studie,, the present study shows no significant spousal concordance. Althought there are tendencies of spousal concordance in some risk factors, the age is major determinant.

Gingival fibromatosis is a non-inflammatory oral disease, characterized by slowly progress enlargement of the free and attached gingiva. Gingival fibromatosis may have familial tendency. Gingival enlargement usually begins with the eruption of the permanent dentition but can also develop with the eruption of the primary dentition. In this case, a 6-year-old female had gingival enlargement at birth. There was no familial, medical and pharmacologic history of gingival overgrowth. Treatment is gingivectomy with a rigorous program of oral hygiene. Recurrence of gingival fibromatosis may well be inevitable. Therefore there is no general aggrement as to the timing of surgical intervention. Generally the best time is when all the permanent teeth have erupted. However early intervention can improve oral function and esthetic and psychologic effect.

This descriptive survey study identified the factors influencing the abiliy of healthcare perceived by high school students. The survey was conducted from May 7, 2020, to Sep. 17, 2020 for 119 high school students in City D. SPSS WIN 22.0 program was used to for t-test and one-way ANOVA with Pearson's correlation coefficients and hierarchical regression analysis. The ability of healthcare perceived by high school students had a static correlation with the sub-domains of family function, that is, family cohesion(r=.65, p<.001) and family adaptability(r=.54, p<.001). For male students(β=.17, p=.012), those who reported a high level of perceived health status showed a high level of ability of healthcare(β=.25, p<.001). Significant influencing factors on high school students' health management ability were identified as gender (β=.17), their own health status perception (β=.23), and family cohesion (β=.45), and the explanatory power of the model was 50%. appear. Further research is hereby suggested for validation of the mediating role and effects of health care education programs to improve the family function perceived by high school students, encourage their practicing of health care management and help them to enter into healthy adulthood.

The purpose of the study was to investigate the convergence factors to posttraumatic growth(PTG) in survivors with female urogenital neoplasm survivors. A self-reported questionnaire was completed by 141 female urogenital neoplasm survivors via e-mail from September to October, 2016. The questionnaire consisted of PTG inventory, illness intrusiveness rating scale, cancer coping, family cohesion evaluation scale, and medical outcomes study social support survey. The data were analyzed by ANOVA, Pearson-correlation coefficient, and multiple regression analysis. Total score of PTG was 84.13points and statistically significant according to age, religion, marital status and positively associated with coping, family cohesion and social support. Results of the regression analysis showed religion(${\beta}=.127$), marital status(${\beta}=.081$), coping(${\beta}=.232$) and family cohesion(${\beta}=.415$), it were explained 44.7%. This study indicates that it is important to understand general characteristics of personal. And a convergent approach is needed to promote PTG by hospital and community.

The aim of this paper is to examine the buffering effect of family cohesion in the relationship between depression and suicidal risk among adolescents, adults, and the elderly. To achieve the research aim, surveys were conducted in 10 cities across the country for 399 adolescents, 473 adults, and 370 elderly from May to August 2010. Major findings of the data analysis are as follows. First, while, in the relationship between depression and suicidal risk, the elderly were the highest, followed by adolescents and adults in descending order, in family cohesion, adults were the highest, followed by the elderly and adolescents. Second, the analysis of the buffering effect of family cohesion in the relationship between depression and suicidal risk showed that it was significant only for adolescents and adults, which means that for those two groups family cohesion alleviates the effects of depression on suicidal risk, demonstrating the necessity of strengthening family cohesion to reduce suicides among the two groups of people. But, for the elderly for whom family relationship is more important than any other age group, the buffering effect of family cohesion in the relationship between depression and suicidal risk was not proved. The interpretation of this phenomenon is given in the part of the paper where the characteristics of the suicide of the old age group is discussed.

This study was carried out to identify the relationship of biochemical bone turnover markers, bone mineral density (BMD), and general characteristics in Korean women. One hundred eighty healthy women, 20 to 50 years of age, living in Gwangju and Chonnam participated. Serum bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BAP) and osteocalcin (OC) were used as bone formation markers and N-telopeptide of type 1 collagen (NTx) was used as a bone resorption maker to evaluate the state of bone turnover. T-scores were measured to evaluate BMD. We analyzed general characteristics, including age, menopause status, osteoporosis history, alcohol consumption, physical activity level, and degree of obesity (BMI, percent of fat). The BAP level significantly decreased in the group of twenty-year olds and increased in the non-alcohol consuming group, the group with a family history of osteoporosis, the menopause group, and the obese group (p<0.05). The OC level was lower in the group of twenty-year olds and increased in the non-alcohol intake group and the menopause group (p<0.05). BMD significantly decreased in the obese group (p<0.05). In conclusion, BAP and OC were affected by age, alcohol consumption, osteoporosis history, menopause status, and obesity. BMD was affected by obesity degree. These results suggest that the management of alcohol consumption and obesity are important for maintaining bone status during aging in Korean women.

To evaluate the prevalence of food allergies and the causative food allergens, 1,469 subjects in various age groups were studied by using a food Allergy questionnaire. Also, specific food antibodies were tested with the MAST method, a chemiluminescent assay, in 84 people who have a positive history of food allergies. The results were as follows : Among the total number of 1,469 subjects, about one- half of the total number(46.6%) have a family history of allergies. According to the questionnaire, the prevalence of food allergies was 11.4%. The group with a family history of allergies showed a higher Prevalence than the group without a family history. Skin allergies were the most common type of food allergies in both groups of male and female subjects. The questionnaire revealed mackerel as the most common food allergen, followed by the allergens of peach, pork, chicken, milk and eggs in decreasing order. According to the MAST allergy test, these diagnosed with an actual food allergy totalled 4.1% of the subjects. Peach and pork were the most common food allergens listed on the MAST results.
