The Objectives: The purpose of this study is to identify the factors related to management of DM in Korea. Methods: The subjects selected by using data of National Health and Nutrition Survey(NHANS) in 2005 were 415 adults, aged 20 and older, and diagnosed with DM. This study used data mining algorithms. This study validated the predictive power of data mining algorithms by comparing the performance of logistic regression, decision tree, and Neural Network on the basic of validation, it was found that the model performance of decision tree was the best among the above three techniques. Result: First, awareness of DM was positively associated with age, residential area, and job. The most important factor of DM awareness is age. Awareness rate of DM with 52 age over is 76.1%. Among the ${\geq}52$ age group, an important factor is family history. Among patients who are 52 years or over with family history of DM, an important factor is job. The awareness rate of patients who are 52 age over, family, history of DM, and professionals is 95.0%. Second, treatment of DM was also positively associated with awareness, region, and job. The most important factor of DM treatment is DM awareness. Treatment rate of patients who are aware of DM is 84.8%. Among patients who have awareness of DM, an important factor is region. The awareness rate of patients who are aware of DM in rural area is 10.4%. Conclusion: Finally, the result of analysis suggest that DM management programs should consider group characteristic of DM patients.

This study is a descriptive research study with secondary analysis of data from the 8th National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. The purpose of this study was to analyze the prevalence and awareness of diabetes in 300 Korean adults aged 30 to 49 with diabetes, and to identify the factors influencing it. For data analysis, the composite sample frequency and percentage, χ²-test, and logistic regression analysis were performed using the SPSS 25.0 program. Among the diabetic patients, 171 patients (57.0%) recognized that they had diabetes, and the factors influencing cognition were gender, education level, BMI, subjective health status, cardiovascular disease, and paternal and maternal family history. Based on the results of this study, it can be used as basic data to establish policies and intervention programs that reduce the prevalence of diabetes in relatively young people aged 30 to 49 years and increase awareness among those with diabetes in Korea.

The increasing prevalence of diabetes is a socioeconomic and health issue. Diabetes control is a lifelong management rather than a cure, and self-care should be undertaken. This study is to classify diabetes mellitus into non-regulatory group, and to prove the difference in risk factors for diabetes. Furthermore, we want to clarify the relationship between the emotional factors by diabetics and the prevalence of diabetes. As a result, the factor of prevalence for glycemic control which is a diabetic person was demonstrated. In addition, negative emotions such as depression and stress were found to be associated with diabetes mellitus and blood sugar control. Therefore, the diagnosis of diabetes is considered to be necessary in combination with negative emotions such as depression and stress.

당뇨는 고혈압, 고지혈증, 흡연과 함께 관상동맥질환을 일으키는 4대 주요한 위험요인 중의 하나이다. 당뇨를 가지고 있으면 관상동맥질환, 뇌졸중, 말초동맥질환을 비롯한 동맥경화성 심혈관질환에 걸릴 위험이 증가한다. 관상동맥질환은 당뇨병환자에서 높은 유병율을 가지며 당뇨병환자의 사망원인의 75%는 죽상동맥경화와 관련이 있고 그 중 75%는 관동맥질환이다. 과거에 관동맥질환이 없는 당뇨병환자에서 급성심근경색의 발생위험은 현재 관동맥질환이 있는 환자와 같으며, 특히 여성에서 관동맥질환 사망위험도는 비당뇨여성의 5$\sim$8배로 현저히 높다. 치료법의 현저한 발전으로 관동맥질환의 사망률이 많이 줄어들었지만 당뇨병환자에서는 여전히 높은 상태이다.

The purpose of this study was to explore the cultural perspectives and experiences relating to insulin therapy among the diabetes. The authors conducted four semi-structured focus groups and individual interviews with 19 adults with type 1 and 2 diabetes, focusing on the personal experiences and thoughts regarding insulin therapy. Patients' perspectives and experiences relating to taking insulin formed three categories of themes: preoccupations about insulin, barriers to taking insulin, and benefits to taking insulin. The theme for preoccupations about insulin was "vague fear," while the theme of barriers to taking insulin were "worrisome insulin-related issues", "ambivalent feelings (trust/mistrust) about healthcare providers," "dependent life," "feeling about supporters(family, friends, and religion)," "inconvenience," "regret about the past," and "embarrassment." The theme of benefits to taking insulin were "recognition" and "physical recovery and confidence in regulating blood glucose". Based on this study, patients' feelings about their insulin should be respected by healthcare providers.

Most diseases are caused by complex processes of various factors. Although previous researches have tried to identify the causes of the disease, there are still lots of limitations to clarify the complex factors. Here, we present a disease classification model based on an evolutionary learning approach of combinatorial features using the data sets from the genetics and cohort studies. We implemented a system for finding the combinatorial risk factors and visualizing the results. Our results show that the proposed method not only improves classification accuracy but also identifies biologically meaningful sets of risk factors.

Many people suffers from multiple chronic diseases, leading cause of death and disability in the world. The purpose of this study was to investigate factors affecting multiple chronic diseases, hypertension, and diabetes. We analyzed the data of one metropolitan city of community health survey, 2015. 4,590 citizens were enrolled in this study. Prevalence of multiple chronic diseases, hypertension, and diabetes were 5.14%, 16.8%, and 3.89%, respectively. Educational attainment, income, salt intake, and BMI were identified as independent risk factors associated with multiple chronic diseases. Educational attainment, income, salt intake were significantly associated with hypertension and age, educational attainment, frequency of alcohol drinking, salt intake were associated with diabetes. Multiple chronic diseases, hypertension, and diabetes were associated with sociodemographic, economic, and health behavioral factors. We should consider these variables in the prevention and management programs and policies for patients with multiple chronic diseases.

Purpose: This study aimed to identify patterns of diagnosis and to explore risk factors for type 2 diabetes beyond the postpartum period in women with a previous history of gestational diabetes, and to identify differences in such risk factors between early and late-onset (aged <45 and ${\geq}45$). Methods: Using epidemiological data from the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study, a retrospective analysis of 175 women with various timings of type 2 diabetes diagnosis was performed. Results: The average age ($42.6{\pm}10.6$) at type 2 diabetes diagnosis was earlier than the general population, and obesity was prevalent with marked weight gains around 35 years old. Longer duration of breastfeeding was observed in women with late-onset of type 2 diabetes. Conclusion: For prevention of type 2 diabetes, early intervention is required, and modifiable factors such as weight control and breastfeeding should be taken into consideration for intervention strategies.

This study was carried out to identify the perceived educational needs of diabetes mellitus type 2(DM 2) patients and the factors influencing their diabetes educational needs. The descriptive and correlation study design was used. The data was collected from January 2, 2012 to February 29 10, 2012 and a total of 346 diabetes patients responded in a structured instrument regarding their characteristics, diabetes knowledge and needs for diabetes education. The data was analyzed using ANOVA, t-test, Scheffe test, Pearson correlation, and stepwise multiple regression. The mean score of the diabetes educational needs was 3.03 (range: 1.09-4.00). Of the factors significantly influencing the diabetes educational needs, age (${\beta}$=-.25, p<.001), diabetes education participation of the family (${\beta}$=.21, p=.003), and self blood sugar test (${\beta}$=-.13, p=.045) explained the 11% variance of the diabetes educational needs. These three factors need to be considered when implementing diabetes education programs for diabetes management.

The purpose of this study was to identify suicidal ideation and related factors of elderly people with diabetes mellitus living alone in rural area. A descriptive study design was used. The participants were 466 elderly people, aged 65 years and over, and diagnosed with diabetes mellitus living at O province in South Korea. Collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, χ²-test, and logistic regression analysis with SPSS statistics 26.0 program. The results of the analysis showed that the suicidal ideation rate of the subjects was 27.3%, and the subjects showed significant differences in suicidal ideation as Cognitive function was lower (t=-4.23, p<.001), Depression(t=9.56, p<.001) and Loneliness (t=4.88, p<.001) were higher. Related Factors of suicidal ideation were Cognitive function (OR=0.86, p<.001), Depression (OR=1.18, p<.001) and Loneliness (OR=1.17, p=.001). These variables explained 32.2% of suicidal ideation. Therefore, in order to reduce suicide ideation of the elderly with diabetes mellitus living alone in rural areas, intervention that can improve Cognitive function, Depression, and Loneliness is needed.
