However, it is unavailable in the Indonesian language. We aimed to adapt and evaluate the validity and reliability of the PAR-Q+ 2020 culturally for the Indonesian population and its application in general and family medicine.Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study to adapt the PAR-Q+ 2020 to the Indonesian language. A face validity interview with 20 participants followed the translation and back-translation processes. Subsequently, an online questionnaire was distributed between June and October 2022, with 378 participants responding and a 72.2% response rate for the second test. Cohen's kappa was calculated to determine the intra-rater reliability of each item. Intra-class correlation (ICC) and Cronbach's alpha analyses were conducted to examine the first and second parts of the questionnaire and the overall intra-rater reliability and internal consistency of the questionnaire.Results: The median age of the participants was 27 years (range, 18-61 years), and 63% (n=172) were female. The Cohen's kappa value of each item ranged from to 0.801-1.000 (almost perfect to perfect agreement). The ICC values for the first and second parts and the overall questionnaire were 0.957, 0.993, and 0.987, respectively. Cronbach's alpha was adequate for the first part (α=0.958), second part (α=0.993), and overall questionnaire (α=0.987).Conclusion: The Indonesian version of the PAR-Q+ 2020 demonstrated reliability and preliminary evidence of its validity in measuring individual readiness for PA. Further studies involving a broader population and employing more comprehensive validation methods are necessary to establish its validity and applicability fully.","PeriodicalId":17893,"journal":{"name":"Korean Journal of Family Medicine","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144675192","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Depression frequently co-occurs with these conditions, and may significantly reduce medication adherence, thereby worsening health outcomes. This narrative review examines the relationship between depression and medication adherence in patients with NCDs. It also highlights the current challenges in managing this comorbidity and explores potential strategies for improving adherence outcomes. Most studies have reported a significant negative association between depression and medication adherence in diverse NCD populations. Depressive symptoms impair motivation, memory, and executive functioning, which are essential for the maintenance of treatment regimens. However, inconsistencies across studies have been observed due to variability in the measurement of depression and adherence, study design, and control of confounding factors. Despite evidence from high-income countries supporting integrated care models such as collaborative care and cognitive behavioral therapy, implementation of these models in low- and middle-income countries remains limited. Emerging strategies, including task shifting, digital health tools (e.g., mobile health apps and telemedicine), and community-based support systems, offer promising avenues for intervention. Addressing this issue requires integrated and scalable interventions tailored to local contexts. Future research should focus on longitudinal and interventional studies, particularly in resource-limited settings, to inform policies and practices.","PeriodicalId":17893,"journal":{"name":"Korean Journal of Family Medicine","volume":"46 4","pages":"231-239"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12301678/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144732044","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Dyslipidemia, defined as a low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) level, is associated with these risks. Recent bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) devices offer precise measurements of the percent body fat (PBF). We aimed to determine the association between PBF and HDL-C levels in middle-aged men in Korea.Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional sstudy of men aged 40-65 years who visited a health examination center. Body composition was analyzed using BIA. Health habits were assessed using a self-administered questionnaire. The participants were divided into four groups based on their PBF: group 1 (<21%), group 2 (21%-23.99%), group 3 (24%-28.99%), and group 4 (≥29%). Logistic regression was used to obtain the odds ratio (OR) between the PBF group and the low HDL-C level and adjusted for other variables.Results: In this study, 2,685 men were analyzed. The number of individuals diagnosed with low HDL-C levels increased significantly as the group-specific PBF increased. Group 4 showed a 5.5-fold greater association with low HDL-C compared to group 1 (P<0.01), whereas group 3 and group 2 showed an OR of 4.38 and 2.95 (P<0.01 and P<0.01), respectively.Conclusion: These results suggest that if middle-aged men are able to decrease their body fat by <5%, their HDL-C levels will increase. We suggest that 3%-5% PBF is a useful guideline for general body fat reduction in Korean middle- aged men in primary care.","PeriodicalId":17893,"journal":{"name":"Korean Journal of Family Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"247-252"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12301668/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141296359","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to investigate whether changes in body weight among participants in different baseline body mass index categories are associated with physical and mental health functioning.Methods: We conducted an analysis involving 5,106 adults who participated in the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study, a cohort comprising Korean adults aged 40 to 69 years. We categorized participants into three groups based on body weight change, and physical and mental health were assessed using the 12-Item Short-Form Health Survey in year 4. We employed logistic regression analysis to assess the association between body weight change and poor functioning at year 4. We also utilized a generalized estimating equation to determine the relationship between weight changes and mental component summary (MCS) scores over the study period for each weight group.Results: Weight gain in both the normal weight (odds ratio [OR], 1.88; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.13-3.11; P=0.01) and overweight groups (OR, 1.75; 95% CI, 1.05-2.91; P=0.03) was associated with poor MCS.

During this time, they are vulnerable to various social issues, such as experimenting with alcohol, among others. Although alcohol consumption was proven to be detrimental to physical and cognitive development toward adulthood, and almost one in 10 Malaysian adolescents aged 13 years and above are current drinkers, studies concerning the driving factors are still scarce. This cross-sectional study aimed to determine alcohol use among 244 adolescents in Nabawan, Sabah.Methods: This study assessed the associations between alcohol use and three potential factors: demographic, environmental, and psychological. Respondents who were selected through stratified proportionate random sampling answered a set of assessment tools.Results: Results showed that 30.7% (95% confidence interval [CI], 24.91-36.48) of Nabawan adolescents use alcohol. Analysis revealed that older age adolescents 18 years and 19 years, respectively (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 3.93; P=0.021; aOR, 5.38; P=0.003), having parents (aOR, 4.11; P=0.001) and peers (aOR, 11.57; P<0.001) who consume alcohol were significantly associated with alcohol use. Unexpectedly, good parental monitoring (aOR, 2.46; P=0.019) and discussing serious problems with parents (aOR, 3.86; P=0.001) were significantly associated with alcohol use.Conclusion: Conclusively, policies on alcohol-related harm reduction and prevention should be developed, especially school-based programs, programs addressing family functioning, and parent-child communication, among others, should be further looked into. Future research on the school environment, adolescents' drinking motives, and the development of practical adolescent-friendly alcohol screening tools are recommendations for improvements.","PeriodicalId":17893,"journal":{"name":"Korean Journal of Family Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"278-287"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12301667/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141296358","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
