Personal values, which are formed in early life, can have an impact on health outcome later in life.
The aim of this study is to investigate the relation between personal values in adolescence and bio-indicators related to metabolic syndrome (MetS) in adulthood.
The longitudinal data used was from the Japanese Study on Stratification, Health, Income, and Neighborhood (J-SHINE). Personal values in adolescence were retrospectively obtained in 2017 from a self-reporting questionnaire, composed of value priorities and commitment to the values. Venous samples were collected in 2012 for low and high-density lipoprotein (LDL, HDL) cholesterol and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c). Body mass index (BMI), waist circumference and systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP, DBP) were also measured. The associations of each variable were examined by partial correlation analysis. In addition, multiple linear regression analysis was conducted to examine overall associations between personal values and the sum of standardized scores (Z-score) of the biomarkers as a proxy of MetS.
The total population ( = 668) included 261 men and 407 women. For men, the personal value priority of "Having influence on society" was associated with high HDL cholesterol (0.133, = 0.032) and "Cherishing familiar people" with low waist circumference ( = -0.129, = 0.049), low SBP, and high DBP ( = -0.135, = 0.039; = 0.134, = 0.041). For women, "Not bothering others" was associated with high SBP and low DBP ( = 0.125, = 0.015; = -0.123, = 0.017). "Economically succeeding" was associated with a worse outcome (β = 0.162, = 0.042) in men.
Although some significant associations were found between personal values in adolescence and MetS-related markers in adulthood, the overall associations were not strong. Culturally prevailing values were likely to be associated with a good outcome of metabolic health.
个人价值观在早年形成,可能会对晚年的健康结果产生影响。
本研究旨在调查青少年时期的个人价值观与成年后代谢综合征(MetS)相关生物指标之间的关系。
所使用的纵向数据来自日本分层、健康、收入和邻里关系研究(J-SHINE)。2017年通过一份自我报告问卷回顾性获取青少年时期的个人价值观,该问卷由价值优先级和对这些价值观的承诺组成。2012年采集静脉血样以检测低密度脂蛋白(LDL)、高密度脂蛋白(HDL)胆固醇和糖化血红蛋白(HbA1c)。还测量了体重指数(BMI)、腰围以及收缩压和舒张压(SBP、DBP)。通过偏相关分析检验各变量之间的关联。此外,进行多元线性回归分析以检验个人价值观与作为MetS替代指标的生物标志物标准化分数(Z分数)总和之间的总体关联。
总样本量(n = 668)包括261名男性和407名女性。对于男性,“对社会有影响力”这一个人价值优先级与高HDL胆固醇相关(r = 0.133,p = 0.032),“珍视熟悉的人”与低腰围相关(r = -0.129,p = 0.049)、低SBP和高DBP相关(r = -0.135,p = 0.039;r = 0.134,p = 0.041)。对于女性,“不打扰他人”与高SBP和低DBP相关(r = 0.125,p = 0.015;r = -0.123,p = 0.017)。“在经济上取得成功”与男性较差的结果相关(β = 0.162,p = 0.042)。
尽管在青少年时期的个人价值观与成年后MetS相关标志物之间发现了一些显著关联,但总体关联并不强。文化上普遍流行的价值观可能与代谢健康的良好结果相关。
