Physical attraction, perceived in terms of satisfaction with body image and interpersonal relationships, can be an essential factor in an individual’s emotional and social well-being. However, empirical studies that link physical attraction to health are limited. This study explores the mediating effect of life satisfaction on the relation between perceived physical attractiveness and lifestyle of health, making an effort to reach an optimal state in physical, emotional, social, spiritual, and intellectual domains in Korean adults. Four hundred fifty-nine adults in a community setting participated in this cross-sectional study. The results showed positive associations among physical attractiveness, life satisfaction, and health-promoting lifestyle after adjusting for age, gender, marital status, education, and job status. Life satisfaction partially mediated the relationship between perceived physical attractiveness and a higher lifestyle of health (z = 2.80, p = 0.005). For health promotion and disease prevention, positive psychology can be a suitable strategy. Physical attractiveness and life satisfaction can be important keys to maintain health-promoting lifestyle behavior.

Based on spillover and crossover models in the family system, we hypothesized the mediating effect of parenting style in the association between maternal work–family conflict (WFC) and children’s problematic internet (PIU). This is a cross-sectional study using data from the 10th wave Panel Study on Korean Children (PSKC) in 2017. The study subjects were 707 mothers and their children. The WFC was measured using the Marshall and Barnett scale, parenting style by the Parenting Styles and Dimension Questionnaire developed by Robinson, and the PIU of a child by the K-Scale for adolescent observers. As a result, maternal WFC had a positive association with the PIU of a child. Maternal WFC also had a link with parenting styles. Specifically, WFC had a negative association with an authoritative parenting style, and a positive association with authoritarian and permissive parenting styles. Regarding the relationship between maternal WFC and the PIU of a child, parenting styles showed a mediating effect for authoritative (z = 2.08, p = 0.037), authoritarian (z = 2.71, p = 0.007), and permissive (z = 3.14, p = 0.002). Based on the results, we assert that when planning an intervention to reduce children’s PIU for working mothers, a multifaceted approach is essential, including both WFC and parenting behavior.

Modifiable lifestyle behaviors, such as lack of physical activity, smoking, and unhealthy diet, are associated with the risk of cardiovascular diseases in postmenopausal women, in addition to other risk factors, such as aging and physiological changes. Therefore, it is necessary to emphasize the importance of encouraging healthy lifestyles and health-promoting behaviors among postmenopausal women, to achieve a better health status. However, it is difficult to modify lifestyle and maintain that change. This study was aimed at identifying the factors that affect the maintenance of healthy lifestyle habits in postmenopausal women, using various theoretical models. This qualitative study included focus-group interviews with 21 Korean postmenopausal women aged 54 to 69 years. A theory-guided thematic analysis was performed based on the Health Belief Model, Self-Determination Theory, Social Cognitive Theory, and Theory of Planned Behavior. As a result, facilitators and inhibitors to healthy lifestyle modification and maintenance are identified. Various sources of motivation and reinforcement are important for menopausal women to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Autonomy support and self-regulation strategies play an important role in integrating health-promoting behaviors into a daily routine. In addition to personal effort, a social support system is also important to help individuals maintain a healthy lifestyle

Objective: This study examined the associations of work–family conflicts (WFC) with problem drinking and the mediating effect of depression among Korean married workers. Methods: The data of 2386 married workers were used from the 2017 Korean Welfare Panel Study. The data classified into two groups, young adults and middle-aged based on age 45. The association of WFC with problem drinking and the mediating effect of depression was assessed by combining logistic and linear regression. Results: WFC was associated with problem drinking, and the mediating effect of depression was significant in the middle-aged group. Meanwhile, depression only has a direct effect on problem drinking in the young adult group. Conclusion: A strategy for treating depression may be important for countering problem drinking. However, an age-tailored intervention should be considered WFC supporting middle-aged workers.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the relationship between intrinsic motivation and learning outcomes of nursing college students who took the Fundamentals of nursing as a problem-based learning method.Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we identified the intrinsic motivations of 114 nursing students who completed problem-based learning using the Intrinsic Motivation Inventory. The t-test was conducted to identify differences according to intrinsic motivation, and correlation analysis was performed to confirm the relationship between intrinsic motivation and learning outcomes.Results: The group with higher intrinsic motivation showed higher scores in all domains of self-assessed learning outcomes than the lower group. It was the ‘Relatedness with an instructor’ that showed the highest correlation with the learning outcomes in the domains of intrinsic motivation.Conclusion: Problem-based learning is an effective learning method for cultivating the competencies needed for nurses. The intrinsic motivation of students is an important factor in the performance of problem-based learning. For the efficiency of problem-based learning, efforts should be made to develop and apply autonomy-supportive interventions that can enhance intrinsic motivation.

Breast cancer is the second most prevalent malignancy among Korean women. Changes in lifestyle during and after remission of breast cancer tend to increase abdominal visceral fat, leading to increased risks of metabolic syndrome and chronic diseases. This cross-sectional study examined the differences in metabolic syndrome risk factors and health-related behaviors between abdominally obese and nonabdominally obese groups of Korean patients with breast cancer. The participants were assigned to nonabdominal obesity (waist circumference n The average age was 54.2 years in the abdominal obesity group and 51.3 years in the nonabdominal obesity group. The average blood pressure and fasting blood glucose levels were higher in the abdominal obesity than the nonabdominal obesity group (117.3/76.3 vs. 108.9/70.4 mmHg, respectively [p = .001]; 96.9 and 90.1 mg/dl, respectively [p = .007]). High-density lipoprotein cholesterol was lower in the abdominal obesity than the nonabdominal obesity group (55.4 and 62.5 mg/dl, respectively [p = .005]), whereas triglycerides were higher in the abdominal obesity than the nonabdominal obesity group (151.6 and 111.3 mg/dl, respectively [p = .006]). The prevalence of metabolic syndrome in the abdominal obesity and nonabdominal obesity groups were 42.4% and 9.1%, respectively (p = .001). Moreover, eating habits differed between the two groups, with the frequency of vegetable consumption lower in the abdominal obesity than the nonabdominal obesity group (p = .040) and the frequencies of salty and sweet food consumption and of overeating higher in the abdominal obesity than the nonabdominal obesity group. The percentage of participants who exercised for 30 minutes three times per week was 52.5% in the abdominal obesity group and 71.4% in the nonabdominal obesity group (p = .024). This observational study found more metabolic syndrome risk factors in the abdominal obesity group than the nonabdominal obesity group. Consumption of sweet foods and overeating were higher and the frequencies of vegetable intake and exercise were lower in the abdominal obesity group. These findings suggest that female abdominally obese patients with breast cancer exhibit health-related behaviors that require improvement and better management. Interventional programs should be developed based on the findings of this study to reduce cancer recurrence and mortality in patients with breast cancer.

The management of cardiometabolic risk factors, such as abdominal obesity, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and hyperglycemia, is essential for the health of postmenopausal women. In this study, we identified the effects of autonomy‐supportive, Web‐based lifestyle modification for the management cardiometabolic risk of postmenopausal women, and assessed the mediation effect of intrinsic motivation. This study was a randomized trial involving 71 postmenopausal Korean women. For the intervention group, we provided the Web‐based autonomy supports for 12 weeks; however, for the control group, individual consultations on healthy lifestyle was conducted at the first meeting. In the intervention group, cardiometabolic risks ameliorated as follows: waist circumference and waist‐to‐height ratio decreased by 3.9 cm and 0.03 cm, respectively; triglycerides decreased by 8.5 mg/dl; triglycerides‐to‐high‐density‐lipoprotein cholesterol ratio decreased by 0.21; systolic blood pressure decreased by 3.3 mmHg, and the visceral adiposity index decreased. Among the subdomain of intrinsic motivation, perceived competence, effort/importance, and perceived choice showed an association with waist circumference changes. Web‐based autonomy supports can be effective in implementation and maintenance, and the amelioration of cardiometabolic risk in postmenopausal women.

Cutoff values were obtained both from the point on the receive operating characteristic curve which was closest to (0,1) and from the Youden's index. ResultsAmong the participants, 34.5% and 73% were classified as having MetS and MO. The optimal cutoff of waist circumference and WHR were 81.9 cm [area under curve (AUC): 0.687, sensitivity: 61.7%, specificity: 68.9%], 0.87 (AUC: 0.660, sensitivity: 64.7%, Specificity: 60.2%) for MetS and 77.4 cm (AUC: 0.655, sensitivity: 65.6%, specificity: 57.8%), 0.86 (AUC: 0.680, sensitivity: 67.0%, specificity: 62.7%) for MO. Triglyceride to high-density lipoprotein ratio for MetS and MO were 2.11 (AUC: 0.838, sensitivity: 71.5%, specificity: 79.6%) and 1.59 (AUC: 0.725, sensitivity: 65.9%, specificity: 68.2%) respectively. The HOMA-IR for MetS was 1.36 (AUC: 0.773, sensitivity: 73%, specificity: 71.9%) and for MO was 1.17 (AUC: 0.713, sensitivity: 64.5%, specificity: 69.2%). Among the participants, 34.5% and 73% were classified as having MetS and MO.

ConclusionsFor postmenopausal women, we suggest waist circumference of 81.9 cm and WHR of 0.87 as criteria of MetS. However, women with waist circumference over 77.4 cm and WHR over 0.86 should be monitored for the future development of MetS. For postmenopausal women, we suggest waist circumference of 81.9 cm and WHR of 0.87 as criteria of MetS. However, women with waist circumference over 77.4 cm and WHR over 0.86 should be monitored for the future development of MetS.

In particular, people with central obesity, an excessive deposit of fat in the abdomen is at high risk of health problems than people with any other types of obesity due to a functional abnormality of adipose tissues and accumulations of triglycerides (TG) [4, 5]. Central obesity is considered the leading factor of cardiometabolic risk [5][5]. Cardiometabolic risk has increased the incidence of cardiovascular disease and mortality rate due to the combined action of abdominal obesity, impaired fasting glucose, dyslipidemia, and elevated blood pressure [6][6]. Central obesity can be detected directly and indirectly. Computed tomography scan, magnetic resonance imaging, and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry detect central obesity directly. Even though these methods can detect visceral fats precisely, the costs are quite expensive. Waist circumference or waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) is a convenient indicator of central obesity; however, there is a limit in distinctions between visceral fats and subcutaneous fats.Waist circumference, the most widely used indices of central obesity is one of the diagnostic criteria for metabolic syndrome. The European Group for the Study of Insulin Resistance defined central obesity as more than 94 cm of waist circumference in male, and more than 80 cm of waist circumference in female [7][7]. The National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III defined it as more than 102 cm in male, and more than 88 cm in the female. However, in the case of Asians, they presented lower criteria, which are 90 cm in male, 80 cm in female [8][8]. The criteria of the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) are the same as those of the European Group for the Study of Insulin Resistance (94 cm in male, 80 cm in female), and those of the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III (90 cm in male, 80 cm in female) in the Asian group [9][9]. The Korean Society for the Study of Obesity presented the Korean specific criteria as more than 90 cm in male, and 85 cm in female by the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 1998 [10][10]. However, there are arguments that these criteria are inadequate to identify the cardiometabolic risk [11, 12]. In the case of a female, menopausal status, and age, influencing factors on the cardiometabolic risk should be considered in determining central obesity with waist circumference [13, 14].There is a high probability of central obesity in postmenopausal women on account of redistribution of adipose tissues and deficiency of estrogen [15][15]. Thus, it is important to set the optimal cutoff of waist circumference or WHR for identifying central obesity to predict and to manage the metabolic syndrome or metabolic obesity in postmenopausal women. The prevalence of metabolic syndrome in postmenopausal women is increasing with age, ranging from 19.6% in the 50s to 30.6% in the 60s [16][16]. Metabolic obesity is the state of increased cardiometabolic risk in consideration of endocrinal function and metabolism independent of external obesity [17][17]. Metabolic obesity is not a matter of the amount of body fat, but a matter of areas with lipid accumulation, which is distinct from typical obesity; it usually has an association with the increase of visceral adiposity [18][18].Moreover, even though serum lipid ratio and the homeostatic model of assessment-insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) are cardiometabolic risks [19, 20, 21]. To the best of our knowledge, no studies tried to determine postmenopausal women specific cutoff values of these indices.The purpose of this study was to identify the optimal cutoff values of various cardiometabolic risk factors in postmenopausal women in South Korea. Specifically, we intended to identify the cutoffs of waist circumference, WHR, serum lipid ratio, and HOMA-IR for detecting metabolic syndrome and metabolic obesity.MethodsJump to SectionIntroductionMethods Study design Setting and participants Ethical consideration Data collection Definitions for the study Postmenopausal women Metabolic syndrome Metabolic obesity Statistical analysisResults Participant characteristics Optimal cutoffs of diagnostic indices for metabolic syndrome Optimal cutoffs of diagnostic indices for metabolic obesityDiscussionConclusionConflict of interestAcknowledgmentsReferencesStudy designJump to SectionIntroductionMethods Study design Setting and participants Ethical consideration Data collection Definitions for the study Postmenopausal women Metabolic syndrome Metabolic obesity Statistical analysisResults Participant characteristics Optimal cutoffs of diagnostic indices for metabolic syndrome Optimal cutoffs of diagnostic indices for metabolic obesityDiscussionConclusionConflict of interestAcknowledgmentsReferencesThis is a cross-sectional study of 397 postmenopausal women.Setting and participantsJump to SectionIntroductionMethods Study design Setting and participants Ethical consideration Data collection Definitions for the study Postmenopausal women Metabolic syndrome Metabolic obesity Statistical analysisResults Participant characteristics Optimal cutoffs of diagnostic indices for metabolic syndrome Optimal cutoffs of diagnostic indices for metabolic obesityDiscussionConclusionConflict of interestAcknowledgmentsReferencesThe participants of the study were the postmenopausal women in their fifties and sixties who helped with hospital chores as volunteers at the Catholic University of Korea St. Mary's hospital in Seoul and St. Vincent's Hospital in Suwon.
