Abstract
The Present Relationship between Japanese Workers' Health Status and Lifestyle: Ichiro Sakurada, et al. Department of Hygiene, Chiba University School of Medicine—To clarify the factors of lifestyle which are really relevant to present Japanese industrial workers' health, the relationship between physical or mental health status and lifestyle among workers of three different companies in Japan (2265 male) was investigated. The indices of physical health status investigated here were as follows: SBP, DBP, GOT, GPT,γ‐GTP, T‐CHO, TG, RBC, Hb. The index of mental health status was SDS. The explanatory variables were age, nine lifestyle factors, and obesity index. Age and obesity index were statistically significant to physical health status in the three companies. The relationship between health status and the other lifestyle factors differed among the three companies. The lifestyle factors which were significant to the mental health status differed among the three companies. These results suggest that the management of obesity may be the most important issue for present day Japanese industrial workers. But the focus of effective mental health education differed among the three companies.
