Although nearly 15 years have passed since the journal was launched, to the best of our knowledge, no study has reviewed articles published in the KJFM. Accordingly, we analyzed articles published in the KJFM for the first time.Methods: Articles published in the KJFM between January 2018 and November 2023 were categorized according to article type. Information about author affiliations, study subjects, research methods, and modes of data collection was then scrutinized. Moreover, we compared the frequencies of subjects, research methods and modes of data collection before, during, and after the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic.Results: Original article was the most common article type. Approximately 52% of the articles were published by authors affiliated with departments other than family medicine, and 40% were published by family medicine. Approximately 60% and 38% of the articles were published by Korean authors and authors of international affiliations, respectively. Throughout the pandemic periods, research subjects focusing on \"diseases & symptoms\" have diminished, while \"principles of family medicine\" have progressively increased. Additionally, the use of cross-sectional study methods has declined. In terms of data collection, the use of \"big data,\" \"medical records,\" and \"questionnaires\" has decreased, whereas the use of \"study results\" has increased.Conclusion: KJFM is journal with wide and international participation covering various research subjects and study methods. We believe that our study provides valuable data for the future direction and development of the KJFM.","PeriodicalId":17893,"journal":{"name":"Korean Journal of Family Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"316-326"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12463500/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141875241","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}

Smoking leads to an increase in triglyceride levels, which, in turn, increases insulin resistance. Although the number of e-cigarette users has increased in recent years, few studies have investigated the association between ecigarette use and insulin resistance. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the association between e-cigarette use and insulin resistance using the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index in Korean adults.Methods: This study included 4,404 healthy adults aged ≥20 years who participated in the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey between 2019 and 2020. Participants were categorized as never-smokers or ecigarette users, and the TyG index was categorized into low- and high-TyG index groups according to the median value (9.22). A logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the association between e-cigarette smoking and insulin resistance.Results: E-cigarette users had a higher TyG index than never smokers (e-cigarette: mean=9.35; never: mean=9.18; P<0.001). The ecigarette users had a higher risk of being in the high TyG index group than never-smokers (odds ratio [OR], 1.38; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.03-1.84). In the subgroup analysis stratified by sex, age, and body mass index, a higher OR for a high TyG index was observed in men (OR, 1.46; 95% CI, 1.03-2.08) and individuals aged 60 years or older (OR, 3.74; 95% CI, 1.14-12.30).Conclusion: Our findings suggest that e-cigarette use is significantly associated with insulin resistance.","PeriodicalId":17893,"journal":{"name":"Korean Journal of Family Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"327-332"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12463492/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142004517","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 develop a self-assessment screening method for athletes with mild COVID-19.Methods: Item generation, item reduction, and pretesting were used to develop a questionnaire that served as a screening tool to detect severe post-COVID-19 complications. The questionnaire was validated by both internal and external reviewers, and the final version consisted of 11 items. Face validity was assessed through direct interviews with 11 athletes. Severe COVID-19 complications were identified for criterion validity and correlation analysis. A total score of 11 indicates that there is no risk of severe COVID-19 complications and gradual return to play is recommended; results <11 indicate a need for further evaluation by trained medical personnel. For reliability test, 50 respondents were chosen and asked to answer the questionnaires 7 days after their first responses.Results: Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaires for post-COVID-19 athletes (PAR-COVID-Q) demonstrated excellent internal consistency (r=1, P<0.05) and test-retest reliability (r=1, P<0.05). A total of 118 athletes scored 11, had normal health screening, normal electrocardiogram and chest X-ray, and successfully returned to sports without any reported complications (r=1, P<0.05).

This study assessed the effectiveness of aquatic-based treatments in patients with knee OA.Methods: The participants were divided into a land-based exercise group (G1, n=30) and a water-based exercise group (G2, n=30). The exercises were performed for 8 weeks. The primary endpoint was a response to physical therapy, defined as a 20% decrease in the summed score for the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities-Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) pain subscale from T1 (before the start of the rehabilitation program) to T2 (8 weeks later). The secondary endpoints included the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for pain, WOMAC functional and stiffness subscales, Lequesne Index, and Medical Outcome Study Short Form (SF-12) for physical and mental health.Results: A 20% decrease in the summed WOMAC pain subscale score was noted in 33% of patients in G1 (n=10) and 93% in G2 (n=28) (P<0.001). VAS scores at walking decreased by 14% in G1 vs. 37% in G2 (P<0.001), WOMAC stiffness subscale decreased by 18% in G1 vs. 53% in G2 (P<0.001), and the Lequesne index decreased by 10% in G1 vs. 33% in G2 (P<0.001).

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.

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}
