Background
Inpatient smoking cessation programs have been known to be quite effective for smoking cessation, but it was rarely conducted among Koreans. This study was to investigate the effect of inpatient smoking cessation program among Korean smokers. Methods: From March 1 to April 30, 2008, we carried out a randomized controlled trial for inpatient smoking cessation program among 70 smokers who were 18 years of age or over and admitted to a university hospital in Seoul, Korea. For the intervention group, a trained doctor conducted the systematic educational program for smoking cessation of 30 minutes to an hour. For the control group, they were advised with a 3-minute explanation for smoking cessation. We assessed the abstinence rates of study participants at 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months after discharge. Results: In 3 months after the discharge, the abstinence rate for the intervention group was 37.1% while that of the control group was 14.3%. In simple logistic regression analysis, the smokers among the intervention group were 3.5 times more likely to abstain than those in the control group. After controlling for confounding factors, the smokers among the intervention group was 11.4 times more likely to abstain than those in the control group. Conclusion: For Korean smokers, the inpatient smoking cessation program showed a higher success rate of abstinence compared to simple advice and limited counselling.

Background
: Up to the present, there has been little study on chronic fatigue or chronic fatigue syndrome, and there is equally sparse relevant statistical data For this reason, we attempted to investigate the present status of fatigue, particularly its incidence and actual conditions.

Methods : The study subjects were 12,152 outpatients who visited family practice in hospitals all over Korea between July 24 and September 21,1997. They were given a questionnaire which included questions reflection the (U.S) Center for Disease Control criteria defining chronic fatigue syndrome.

Results : Among the subjects, 861 people complained of fatigue in their response to the questionnaire-re and they became the focus of the study. Of this fatigue group, 426 people(49.4%) had manifested fatigue for more than 6 months, and the male/female ratio was 54%/46%, respectively. People who re-ported that fatigue impaired their ability to function on a daily basis made up 35.8% of the fatigue group and the percentage of people who had considered visiting a clinic due to fatigue was an unexpectedly high 52.8%. The reported causes of fatigue, in decreasing order, were: social interactions(males 68.5%/females 45.1%); sleep disturbance(males 26.8%/females 21.8%); and physical maladies(males 24.2%/fe-mals 26.5%). There were significant gender differences in social interaction relating to domestic problems(males 4.7%/females 16.7%) and emotional problems(males 12.2%.femals 21.4%). Among 33 chronic fatigue syndrome patients who indicted what they thought were the causes of their problems, 68.8% reported physical maladies, 65.5% social life, 31.3% emotional problems, 21.9% sleep disturbance, and 21.9% domestic problems. The associated symptoms of fatigue reported in both males and females, in de-creasing order, included: myalgia, headache and neurological symptoms. The prevalence of chronic fatigue was 0.27%.

Conclusion : Our study showed that 7.1% of family practice outpatients complained of fatigue and that their daily activities or occupational life were disturbed as a result. This group demonstrates is serious need for medical assistance. Therefore, doctors should have more interest in fatigue, particularly in chronic fatigue syndrome, so as to provide real and versatile care.( J Korean Acad Fam Med 1999;20:978-990)

Background
: Osteoporosis is one of the characteristic adult diseases and important health problem. It brings to high prevalence, easy fracture, many complications, and lowers geriat-ric quality of life. With concern about osteoporosis as a primary care physician, we would like to know the relations between risk factors and BMD.

Methods : Among the patients who have taken the Bone-mineralodensitometry(BMD) ex-amination, from January. 4, 1994, to July. 31, 1995, at Sung Nam Central Hospital, we sele-cted 112. Data was gathered from the BMD examination and questionnaire. These data were analysed using SPSS/PC correlation and stepwise multiple regression statistic program.

Results : The study subjects were composed of 112 patients (female:51, male:61). By osteoporosis definition, the 2.5 S.D. below the peak bone mass is 51(45.5%), the normal group is 61(54.5%). In the stepwise multiple regression analysis, the most important risk factors are age and weight in female, exercise and weight in male.

Conclusion : In the prevention and early diagnosis and treatment of osteoporosis, the physician should consider the risk factors. Due to noticeable frequency of male osteoporosis, more studies are needed.

Background
: Depression is frequently observed during long-term hemodialysis of patients. Comp-lications occur in proportion to depression tendency which gives wrong influences of their prognosis. Family function is influenced by long-term hemodialysis and patients show severe declines in their family function due to stresses and depression during treatment. We carried out this study to estimat the depression tendency of HD patients and their family function, compared them with non-HD patients and searching for relations between depression tendency and family function of HD patients.

Methods : As the study group, we took 78 cases(male 54, female 24 cases) among respondents who had hemodialysis regularly at Artificial Hemodialysis Unit in Seongnam Central Hospital and InHa University and as a control group took 78 cases of patients hospitalized in Internal Medicine department. We compared two groups about depression tendency by B야 scores and family function by Family APGAR score trough interview and questionnaire survey consisted of 37 questions.

Results : Average BDI score in HD patients was 27.1 and 19.3 in non-HD patients. Average Family APGAR score of HD patients and non-HD patients were respectively 5.8 and 6.8 and there was a statistic significance between two groups. And there was a close correlation between Family APGAR score and depression tendency in non-HD patients.

Conclusion : Ratio of depression tendency was 66.7% in HD patients, significantly higher thatn non-HD patients. Depression tendency was high in women and higher in older than younger. Family APGAR score was lower in HD patients than non-HD patients. In both groups depression tendency was highest in severely dysfunctional families. And there was no close correlations between depression tendency and Family APGAR score in HD patients.
