Fibromyalgia is a disorder characterized by the core symptom of chronic widespread pain, along with fatigue, sleep disturbances, mood changes, and cognitive difficulties. The etiology of fibromyalgia involves a combination of biological factors, such as genetic vulnerability, alterations in pain processing and stress response system ; psychological factors, such as anxiety, depression, anger, and perceived stress ; environmental factors, such as infections, febrile diseases, and trauma. Central sensitization, which is amplified in the process of sensory stimulation, has been emphasized as a key etiological factor, as supported by enhanced wind-up, delayed aftersensation, decreased nociceptive flexion reflex threshold and functional imaging studies. Several guidelines recommend that a multimodal approach be used to treat fibromyalgia, including both pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments, tailored to each individual, and that clinicians should provide an intellectual framework through sufficient education and emphasis on the importance of self-management. The prevalence of mood disorders, anxiety disorders, and other psychiatric problems is 7-9 times higher in patients with fibromyalgia than in the general population ; moreover, the association between fibromyalgia and certain psychopathologies or sleep problems has also been suggested. Since psychiatric problems, with shared vulnerabilities and risk factors, interact with fibromyalgia bidirectionally and also affect the disease course, an integrated management approach is needed to determine the risk of comorbidities.

To investigate the effects of type of exercise on inflammatory factor and vascular endothelial growth factor in middle aged women, we recruited 18 people middle-aged women and they divided into 3 groups (N=6, resistance exercise group, 40-60% of 1RM, N=6 aerobic exercise group, 60-70% of VO2max, N=6, flexibility exercise group, 10-60 sec/sets). The data were compared to the effect of exercise between 50 ~ 60 minutes per a day, 3 day times per week on the body composition, inflammatory factor, vascular endothelial growth factor and vascular compliance in middle aged women. First, in regards to inflammatory factors between groups, a significant difference (p<.05) was identified in the effects of CRP and IL-6 in terms of time (T). Second, regarding vascular endothelial growth factors between groups based on the type of exercise, a significant difference (p<.05) was found in the effects of VEGF's time (T) and the interaction between time and group (TxG). In conclusion, All types of exercise could partially improve inflammatory factors and vascular endothelial growth factors.

The purpose of this study is to examine how the rural elderly assess the multi-dimensions of health. This includes the physical, mental and social dimensions of health, correlations among them, and whether there are gender differences and age-group (60's, 70's, 80 and over) differences. For this purpose, survey data was gathered from 881 rural elderly who live in a village. The statistical methods used for data analysis were descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA and correlations. The major findings of this study are as follows: Physical health was measured by self-rated health, ADL, IADL, and farmer symptoms. The respondents classified as 80 and over and female perceived their physical health more negatively. Mental health was perceived somewhat positively in general but female participants perceived their mental health more negatively than males. Social health of the rural elderly was relatively positive in comparison to the other dimensions of health. The rural elderly engaged in many social activities, and the majority of them had many social support networks composed of more than 12 persons. Relationships among the physical, mental and social health dimensions were different. The correlation of physical and mental health and the correlation of social and psychological health were statistically significant. However, the correlation of physical and social health had no significant meanings.

Testosterone acts to protect the heart as a male hormone. If it is secreted suitably, health, but too less it will have an bad influence in organs of the body. In particular, when normal levels of testosterone secretion is less, arteriosclerosis will be increased risk of heart diseases. According to the amount of testosterone is influenced difference in the ring finger length of male. Therefore, we organize groups of subjects in heart diseases and normal who measure these groups' length of the ring finger and index finger. With this in mind, we carried out analysis of interrelationship in length of the ring finger and heart diseases through cross-comparison analysis in this paper.

Although serum gamma-glutamyl transferase(GGT) has been widely used as a marker of alcoholic hepatic dysfunction, little is known as to behavioral correlates in the normal population. To examine the association between serum GGT activity and some behavioral factors in male rural population, data un health examination in a rural population (248 males aged 40 years and older) was analyzed Multiple linear regression and analysis of convariance were used to control the effect of confounding factors. Adjusted average differences in the level of serum GGT according to body mass index(BMI: $kg/m^2$) and alcohol intake(ml/day) were statistically significant(p=0.051 0<0.001 respectively). Serum GGT activity for BMII$\geq$25 was significantly higher than for BMI<25 in non-drinkers(p=0.007), but not significantly different in drinkers(p=0.892). Alcohol intake was significantly associated with elevated serum GGT activity for both BMI$\geq$25 and BMI<25(p<0.001, p=0.002 respectively). These findings suggest that alcohol drinking, obesity in non-drinkers are important factors associated with serum GGT in male rural population.
