The subjects (n = 512) were restricted to aged 45 - 64 years old who live with spouses and have children, and one of whose parent or parent-in-law is still alive. Multiple regression analysis was used to investigate how family health status moderates the relationship between involvement in housework of parents’ families and parents-in-law’s families and the happiness of middle-aged women. <strong>Results:</strong> 1) Family health status is positively correlated with their happiness. 2) The parents’ health status can moderate the relationship between involvement in housework of parents’ families and happiness of the middle-aged women. 3) The middle-aged women’s health status can moderate the relationship between involvement in housework of parents-in-law’s families and those women’s happiness, and fathers-in-law’s health status can moderate the relationship between husbands’ involvement in housework of the women’s parents-in-law’s families and women’s happiness. <strong>Conclusions:</strong> In future, when policies and programs related to the well-being of middle-aged women are being planned, the effect of women’s health and family health status shall be considered as a key to improve those women’s quality of life.展开更多

At the same time, estimate whether the data shows a normal distribution, and evaluate the reference range of healthy pregnant women according to Mean ± 1.96s.Results:BUN and CERA data are normally distributed, and UA data is in a positive skew distribution. There were statistically significant differences in serum BUN, CERA and UA levels between healthy pregnant women and healthy non-pregnant women. There were statistically significant differences in serum BUN, CERA and UA levels of healthy pregnant women and healthy non-pregnant women in the same age group. The difference was not statistically significant in serum BUN, CERA and UA levels in different age groups of healthy pregnant women. The serum BUN of the healthy pregnant women reference range was lower than the healthy non-pregnant women, and the serum UA reference range of the healthy pregnant women was wider than the healthy non-pregnant women.Conclusion:Assessment the renal function status of pregnant women is not reasonable by non-pregnant woman's reference range of BUN, Cr and UA. It is imminent that targeted to establish local regional pregnant women BUN, Cr and UA normal reference range to accurately assess the renal function.展开更多
