Background
: In our country, obesity, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hypercholesterolemia and hypertriglyceridemia are increasing according to the change of dietary patterns and other causes such as economic growth. So we investigated the prevalence of these diseases for a part of the insured persons in Taegu.

Methods : We checked height, body weight, blood pressure, fasting blood sugar, fasting cholesterol, fasting triglyceride, hemoglbin, serum protein, transaminase, urine sugar, urine protein, urine RBC, Pap smear for the 3,005 insured persons participated in health examination at Keimyung University Dongsan Medical Center, Taegu.

Results : The prevalence of obesity showed 27.5% in all, 11.3% in males, 33.0% in females and 5th decade is the highest as 32.3%. The prevalence of hypertension showed 20% in all, 27.0% in males, 18.6% in females and among the aged over 70 years is the highest as 34.3%. The prevalence of diabetes mellitus showed 2.8% in all, 3.3% in males, 2.6% in females and among the aged over 70 years is the highest as 5.3%. The prevalence of hypercholesterolemia showed 43.5% in all, 44.3% in males, 43.2% in famales and 5th decade is the highest as 54.3%. The prevalence of hypertriglyceridemia showed 2.4% in all, 4.4% in males, 1.7% in famales and 5th decade is the highest as 3.6%. The relative prevalene of hypertension was 2.6 in hypertriglyceridemia that was greater than that of other risk groups and relative prevalence of hypercholesterolemia was 3.6 in hypertriglyceridemia that was greater that that of other risk groups. And the relative prevalence of Diabetes Mellitus was 2.1 in hypercholesterolemia that was greater than that of other risk groups and the relative prevalence of hypertriglyceridemia was 3.6 in hypercholesterolemia that was greater than that of other risk groups.

Conclusion : The sequence of the prevalence in major diseases is hypercholesterolemia, obesity, hypertension, diabetes mellitus and hypertriglyceridemia. We measured the relative prevalence, so we had come to know the grade for the prevalence.

Background
: Previous numerous studies proved the reliability and validity of family APGAR score and FACES Ⅲ which are often used in family function test. We performed this study to analyze the correlation between family APGAR score and FACES Ⅲ.

Methods : This study based on the questionnaires answered by 204 unmarried productive part women who were engaged in a manufacturing plant at Ku-mi from August 1st to August 31th, 1992. The results were processed with SPSS statistical package and analysed by mantel-Haenzel trend test.

Results : Male were 87(42.6%) and female were 117(57.4%) and mean age was 23.26(±3.13) years, most of them(198(97.0%)) were high school graduated. There was a significant correlation between APGAR score and family types of FACES Ⅲ (P<0.01). There was a significant correlation between APGAR score and Cohesion of FACES Ⅲ (P<0.001). There was no significant correlation between APGAR socre and Adaptability of FACES Ⅲ.

Conclusion : From this tudy, we found that family APGAR score and FACES Ⅲ has close correlation each other, and this correlation depended on the Cohesion of FACES Ⅲ.
