Objectives: This study investigated the association between menopausal-specific quality of life (MENQOL) and breast cancer screening beliefs among Hong Kong Chinese menopausal and postmenopausal women. Methods: A cross-sectional study was employed to collect data. The questionnaire was distributed to a convenience sample of 218 women aged above 45. The outcome variables were breast cancer screening beliefs and breast examination. Multiple regression analyses were conducted to test the effect of 4 domains in MENQOL (vasomotor, psycho-social, physical, and sexual symptom) and the health behaviors on the 2 outcome variables. Results: This study found that the overall MENQOL scores (in particular psycho-social, and physical aspects) were significantly associated with positive attitudes toward health check-ups and better knowledge and perceptions in breast cancer. Regular exercise was also significantly related to breast examination. Conclusions: MENQOL (especially psycho-social and physical domain) and regular exercise are important factors associated with breast cancer screening beliefs. The results of this study illuminate health care professionals to develop primary health care strategies to improve the quality of life of mid-life women.

Purpose: This study aimed to assess the prevalence of smoking, alcohol consumption, physical activity and diet and to identify sociodemographic factors related with health behaviors among Asian immigrant women in Korea by ethnicity. Methods: A cross-sectional study using structured questionnaires was conducted in 396 immigrant women from China, Vietnam, and the Philippines to Korea through international marriage. The associations between health behaviors and sociodemographic characteristics were assessed using multivariate logistic regression analyses. Results: The prevalence of current smoking, alcohol consumption, physical inactivity, and abnormal diet were 4.2%, 7.6%, 49.3%, and 31.9%, respectively. The prevalence of current smoking (7.6%) and physical inactivity (56.7%) was highest in Chinese immigrant women. However, the prevalence of current smoking (2.7%) and alcohol consumption (3.8%) were lowest in Vietnamese immigrant women. Immigrant women who had been living in Korea for a long time since immigration (${\geq}$ 5 years) had a higher prevalence of alcohol consumption compared to those of who had been living in Korea for a short time since immigration (< 5 years) (OR=2.95, 95% CI=1.74-5.01). Conclusion: Health promotion programs for immigrant women should be differentiated based on health behaviors and their related factors by ethnicity.

동아시아 삼국 여대생의 신체가치와 신체존중감을 비교하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 한국(n=168)과 중국(n=108), 일본(n=152)의 여대생을 대상으로 신체에 관한 가치로서 조작성, 편향성, 평가소재와 사회적유용성을 측정하였고, 전반적 신체존중감 척도를 이용해서 외모존중감, 체중존중감, 건강존중감을 측정하였다. 신체의 자의적 변형에 대한 수용정도는 일본이 가장 높았고 중국이 가장 낮았다. 건강에 비해 외모를 중시하는 경향은 한국이 일본과 중국에 비해 높았고, 타인의 관점에서 자신의 신체를 평가하는 경향은 한국과 일본이 중국보다 높았다. 신체의 외모나 건강의 사회적 유용성에 대해서는 한국이 가장 높게 지각하고 있었고, 일본과 중국의 순이었다. 한국 여대생은 외모존중감은 가장 높고 건강존중감은 가장 낮은 반면, 일본 여대생은 건강존중감이 가장 높고 외모존중감과 체중존중감은 가장 낮았다. 중국 여대생은 체중존중감이 가장 높았다. 네 가지 신체 가치는 외모와 체중존중감과는 유의한 상관이 있었으나, 건강존중감과는 아무런 상관이 없었다. 연구결과의 함의를 논의하고 향후연구의 필요성을 제안하였다.
