We conducted a comparative analysis of lifestyle, mental stress, and medical check-up results between tanshin-funin workers and workers living with their families.
Study participants were 3,026 married men, aged 40-59 yr, who worked at a large financial firm in Japan. Tanshin-funin was defined as married men separated from their families due to workplace assignments, as determined by a self-administered questionnaire in 2004. Participants' lifestyle factors, including exercise, alcohol and smoking consumption, and dietary habits, and mental stress, including lack of vigor, irritability, fatigue, anxiety, depressed mood, and physical complaints, were examined using a self-administered questionnaire. Medical check-ups conducted in 2004 included measurements of BMI, SBP, DBP, FBS, GOT, GPT, γ-GTP, TC, TG, HDL, RBC, and WBC.
An analysis of lifestyle factors, using the χ(2) test, indicated that fewer tanshin-funin workers exercise, and that they had fewer regularly-scheduled meals. Tanshin-funin workers smoked more and consumed more alcohol, but ate fewer green and yellow vegetables. Tanshin-funin workers had fewer commuting hours and took fewer days off. Tanshin-funin workers also suffered more frequently from irritability and anxiety. A regression analysis, adjusted for age and smoking status, indicated that levels of TC, TG, and WBC for tanshin-funin workers were higher than workers living with their families.
The lifestyle habits of tanshin-funin workers, such as dietary habits, were worse than those of workers living with their families, and tanshin-funin workers suffered from more irritability and anxiety. Clinical markers, such as dyslipidemia, were worse among tanshin-funin workers than among workers living with their families.
我们对单身赴任员工和与家人同住的员工的生活方式、精神压力及体检结果进行了对比分析。
研究对象为3026名年龄在40至59岁之间、就职于日本一家大型金融公司的已婚男性。单身赴任被定义为因工作安排与家人分居的已婚男性，这是根据2004年的一份自填式问卷确定的。使用自填式问卷对参与者的生活方式因素（包括运动、饮酒和吸烟情况以及饮食习惯）和精神压力（包括精力不足、易怒、疲劳、焦虑、情绪低落和身体不适）进行了调查。2004年进行的体检包括测量体重指数（BMI）、收缩压（SBP）、舒张压（DBP）、空腹血糖（FBS）、谷草转氨酶（GOT）、谷丙转氨酶（GPT）、γ-谷氨酰转肽酶（γ-GTP）、总胆固醇（TC）、甘油三酯（TG）、高密度脂蛋白（HDL）、红细胞（RBC）和白细胞（WBC）。
使用χ²检验对生活方式因素进行分析表明，单身赴任员工运动较少，且定期用餐次数较少。单身赴任员工吸烟更多、饮酒量更大，但绿色和黄色蔬菜摄入量较少。单身赴任员工通勤时间较短，休假天数较少。单身赴任员工也更频繁地出现易怒和焦虑情绪。在对年龄和吸烟状况进行调整后的回归分析表明，单身赴任员工的总胆固醇、甘油三酯和白细胞水平高于与家人同住的员工。
单身赴任员工的生活习惯，如饮食习惯，比与家人同住的员工更差，且单身赴任员工更容易出现易怒和焦虑情绪。单身赴任员工的血脂异常等临床指标比与家人同住的员工更差。
