The present study was carried out to clarify the concordance or similarity of risk factors among 298 spouse pairs in a random sample who lived in Mizobe town of Kagoshima Prefecture. A sample of 298 spouse pairs was surveyed by using the house-to-house interviewing method and was classified into three groups by the marriage duration. The following results were obtained. 1) Statistically significant partial correlation coefficients were demonstrated among the spouses for blood pressure in the present study. However, they were smaller than among spouses in remote islands, this fact suggested that there was no higher spouse concordance in this surveyed area than in remote island areas, and also that there might be a difference in the shared environment of spouse pairs and the genetic effect on blood pressure between the former area and the latter. 2) In regard to the intake of salt in miso soup and the ratio of sodium to potassium (Na/K), an increasing gradient of partial correlation coefficients for the risk factors among the spouses was observed with increasing marriage duration, suggesting that the intake might be caused by the shared environment on the basis of a similar dietary pattern for the spouse pairs.
本研究旨在阐明鹿儿岛县水俵町随机抽取的298对配偶中危险因素的一致性或相似性。采用逐户访谈法对298对配偶样本进行调查，并根据婚姻持续时间分为三组。结果如下：1）本研究中，配偶间血压的部分相关系数具有统计学意义。然而，这些系数小于偏远岛屿配偶间的系数，这一事实表明，该调查地区配偶间的一致性并不高于偏远岛屿地区，而且这两个地区配偶对的共同环境以及血压的遗传效应可能存在差异。2）关于味噌汤中盐的摄入量以及钠钾比（Na/K），随着婚姻持续时间的增加，配偶间危险因素的部分相关系数呈现上升趋势，这表明摄入量可能是基于配偶对相似饮食模式的共同环境导致的。
