In order to clarify the relationships between lifestyle behaviors and mental health status in Japanese workers, the 28-item General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28) and Zung's Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) were administered to 254 male factory workers; further, eight of their personal health practices were surveyed using the Health Practice Index (HPI). Few studies have used the GHQ-28 and SDS simultaneously; moreover, to date, no study has included the lifestyle factors in these scales. We used these tools for the concurrent assessment of mental health status and classified the subjects into high-risk and low-risk groups. The GHQ-28 and SDS scores correlated negatively with the HPI scores. In the older age group, these scores decreased significantly corresponding to an increase in the total number of favorable lifestyle practices followed. Significant relationships were observed between the GHQ-28 subscales and the HPI. Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that four of the eight health practices surveyed were significantly related to the mental health status in all subjects. Thus, good health practices appear to be closely associated with good mental health status. However, to establish our results, larger study populations are required for further studies in various occupational fields.
为了阐明日本工人的生活方式行为与心理健康状况之间的关系，对254名男性工厂工人进行了28项一般健康问卷（GHQ - 28）和zung自评抑郁量表（SDS）的测试；此外，还使用健康行为指数（HPI）对他们的八项个人健康行为进行了调查。很少有研究同时使用GHQ - 28和SDS；而且，迄今为止，没有研究将生活方式因素纳入这些量表。我们使用这些工具对心理健康状况进行同步评估，并将受试者分为高风险和低风险组。GHQ - 28和SDS得分与HPI得分呈负相关。在老年组中，随着遵循的良好生活方式行为总数的增加，这些得分显著下降。在GHQ - 28子量表和HPI之间观察到显著关系。多元逻辑回归分析显示，所调查的八项健康行为中有四项与所有受试者的心理健康状况显著相关。因此，良好的健康行为似乎与良好的心理健康状况密切相关。然而，为了证实我们的结果，需要更大的研究群体在各个职业领域进行进一步研究。
