Prevalence of self-reported stress was measured in a sample workforce of 1342 men. About 8% at all ages reported being "often stressed", while the peak was 11% at age 45-54 years. The socioeconomic profile of the workers approximated that of the New Zealand male workforce and it is suggested that the prevalence rate for the total workforce will be similar to that of the sample. In addition, information was obtained on blood pressure, alcohol intake, smoking, obesity, and exercise. There is a statistically significant positive association between stress and mild hypertension (p less than 0.001) and smoking (p less than 0.005) and a negative association between stress and exercise (p less than 0.025). This has implications for occupational health workers.
在一个由1342名男性组成的样本劳动力群体中测量了自我报告的压力患病率。所有年龄段中约8%的人报告称“经常感到压力”，而在45 - 54岁年龄段达到峰值11%。这些工人的社会经济概况与新西兰男性劳动力群体相似，据推测整个劳动力群体的患病率将与样本相似。此外，还获取了有关血压、酒精摄入量、吸烟、肥胖和运动的信息。压力与轻度高血压（p < 0.001）和吸烟（p < 0.005）之间存在统计学上显著的正相关，与运动之间存在负相关（p < 0.025）。这对职业健康工作者具有启示意义。
