Methods: Using a structured questionnaire, data were collected from 311 middle aged women. Descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation coefficient, a t-test and ANOVA, a Scheffe test, and Stepwise multiple regression were conducted using the SAS package. Results: The mean score of perceived health status was 3.17($\pm$.63), while that of fatigue was 2.65($\pm$.49) and that of family health was 2.91($\pm$.37). Fatigue was negatively related to perceived health status and family health. In addition, perceived health status was positively correlated with the family health. The major factors that affect family health in middle aged women were perceived health status, economic status, mental fatigue, and satisfaction with marital status, which explained 27.2% of family health.
