The excretion rate of adrenaline and noradrenaline in urine was tested at 168 male workers of various professions at the age of 20 years up to 60 years, during daily work and on a free Sunday. It has been shown that adrenaline and noradrenaline excretion rates increase with age. The differential reactivity of adrenaline and of noradrenaline are not related to age. The differential reactivity of adrenaline, but not noradrenaline is related to the self-reported health status of the subject, measured several weeks before the field study itself. It is not related to absenteeism. In special studies on busdrivers a differential reactivity in adrenaline was found with respect to absenteeism. The results of the present study indicate, that this effect is probably accounted for by the component of health and wellbeing that is incorporated in the absenteeism figures.
对168名年龄在20岁至60岁之间从事各种职业的男性工人，在日常工作期间以及一个空闲的周日，测试了他们尿液中肾上腺素和去甲肾上腺素的排泄率。结果表明，肾上腺素和去甲肾上腺素的排泄率随年龄增长而增加。肾上腺素和去甲肾上腺素的差异反应性与年龄无关。肾上腺素的差异反应性（而非去甲肾上腺素）与受试者在现场研究前几周自我报告的健康状况有关。它与旷工率无关。在对公交车司机的专项研究中，发现肾上腺素在旷工方面存在差异反应性。本研究结果表明，这种效应可能是由旷工数据中所包含的健康和幸福因素造成的。
