Marriage is not a mere convention, but an implicit condition of human society. It is an adjustment between the biological purposes of nature and the sociological purposes of man. Its success only depends on the way it is worked. The present study was planned to investigate the attitude towards marriage, sexual adjustment and performance of working women from different organized sectors. A sample of 300 working women was selected purposively. Forty six per cent respondents were strongly agreed about registration of marriage. A substantially high proportion (58.7%) of respondents strongly disagreed with the statement of having sexual relations without marriage. College teacher and clerk had more favorable attitude towards marriage. A small proportion of husbands and wives were unfaithful to their counterparts in sexual matters. Fifty-three per cent working women were able to manage their dual roles satisfactorily.Keywords

Cancer is an intimating disease. It is commonly associated with severe pain, suffering and death. Cancer is not a new disease. The rate of incidence and mortality from breast cancer in India are approximately five times as high as in North America and North Europe. The present study was design to access the diet and lifestyle of women suffering from breast cancer. The data were collected from breast cancer patients under the age of 20-75 years for the study. Food preferences in cancer patients appear to be associated with insufficient intake of nutrients. A high percentage of respondents consumed supari regularly (60%) followed by pan masala (22%) and alcohol (4%). A high intake of macronutrients, proteins, lipids and carbohydrates in the form of excess energy has some cancer stimulation properties. Stress in the family was one of the major causes (48 %) of breast cancer followed by stress at work place (6 %) only.Keywords

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder that prevents the body to utilize glucose completely or partially. It is characterized by raised glucose concentration in the blood and alterations in carbohydrate, protein and fat metabolism. The prevalence of diabetes in India is reaching alarming proportions. The present study was design to access the dietary pattern and life style behaviour of diabetic patients. Total 300 diabetes type -2 patients from five hospitals of Ranchi districts were purposively selected. Maximum 51.33 per cent reported diet control is the prime factor for diabetic patients. Diet is the single most important factor in the successful treatment of diabetes. Inspite of all advance medical treatment diet has maintained its supremacy. Despite frequent intake of meals continual loss of weight is the symptom of diabetes. Forty-seven per cent families had strong hereditary tendency to diabetes. The family plays an important role both in health and diseases in the prevention and treatment of individual illness. Health care is the primary necessity of the society.Keywords
