The relations between salivary variables, lifestyle and mental health status were investigated for 61 healthy female university students. The salivary secretion rates were significantly higher in the good lifestyle groups compared with the poor lifestyle groups. Among the 8 lifestyle items tested. "eating breakfast" and "mental stress" were significantly related to the salivary secretion rates. The present findings suggest that the acquisition of a good lifestyle is also very important from the viewpoint of the prevention of oral disease.A highly significant correlation (r=0.97; p<0.01) between the salivary cortisol levels and the cortisol secretion rates when controlled for the salivary secretion rates was also observed. This suggests that there is a high correlation between the intact salivary cortisol levels and the total cortisol quantity per unit time. Therefore, both these values can be used as a good index for the salivary cortisol determination.
本研究调查了 61 名健康的女性大学生的唾液变量、生活方式和心理健康状况之间的关系。与生活方式较差的组相比,生活方式良好的组的唾液分泌率明显更高。在测试的 8 项生活方式项目中,“吃早餐”和“精神压力”与唾液分泌率有显著关系。本研究结果表明,从预防口腔疾病的角度来看,养成良好的生活方式也非常重要。当控制唾液分泌率时,唾液皮质醇水平与皮质醇分泌率之间也存在高度显著的相关性(r=0.97;p<0.01)。这表明完整的唾液皮质醇水平与单位时间内的总皮质醇量之间存在高度相关性。因此,这两个值都可以作为唾液皮质醇测定的良好指标。
