Department of Health Science, Shiga University of Medical Science<\/jats:bold>\u2014Marital status is related to cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors in Western countries. However, few studies have addressed the relationship between marital status and CVD risk factors in other populations. We investigated lifestyle and CVD risk factors relative to marital status among middle\u2010aged Japanese men. We analyzed baseline data of 40\u201359\u2010yr\u2010old male workers who participated in the high\u2010risk and population strategy for occupational health promotion (HIPOPOHP) study. We compared lifestyle and CVD risk factors between men who were married (Group M; n=1,419, mean age 47.9 \u00b1 5.1 yr) and those who had never married (Group N; n=163, mean age 46.7 \u00b1 4.3 yr). Men in Group N were more likely to skip breakfast, work more shifts and exercise less. Current smoking rates, as well as average values of diastolic blood pressure (DBP), serum total cholesterol and fasting plasma glucose were also higher in Group N than in Group M. The proportion of participants with three or more CVD risk factors, namely smoking, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia and hyperglycemia was higher in Group N, than in Group M (12.9% vs. 5.0%, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>&lt;0.01). The difference between Groups M and N was more evident in the subgroup of living with others, than in the subgroup of living alone. Since men who have never married might be at higher risk for CVD, effort should be made to educate this population about decreasing lifestyle\u2010related risk factors.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1539\/joh.l7158","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,8,7]],"date-time":"2008-08-07T05:53:15Z","timestamp":1218088395000},"page":"348-356","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Marital Status and Cardiovascular Risk Factors among Middle\u2010aged Japanese Male Workers: The High\u2010risk and Population Strategy for Occupational Health Promotion (HIPOP\u2010OHP) Study"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"50","author":[{"given":"Yuko","family":"Kamon","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Science Shiga University of Medical Science Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tomonori","family":"Okamura","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Preventive Cardiology, National Cardiovascular Center Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Taichiro","family":"Tanaka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Sciences, Faculty of Medicine University of Yamanashi Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Atsushi","family":"Hozawa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Science Shiga University of Medical Science Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zentaro","family":"Yamagata","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Sciences, Faculty of Medicine University of Yamanashi Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Toru","family":"Takebayashi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Preventive Medicine and Public Health School of Medicine, Keio University Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yukinori","family":"Kusaka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Environmental Health, Faculty of Medical Sciences University of Fukui Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sumio","family":"Urano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Matsushita Health Care Center Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hideaki","family":"Nakagawa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Epidemiology and Public Health Kanazawa Medical University Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Takashi","family":"Kadowaki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Science Shiga University of Medical Science Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yuji","family":"Miyoshi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tokyo Central Clinic, Health Insurance Society of Meiji Yasuda Life Insurance Company Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hiroshi","family":"Yamato","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Industrial Ecological Science, University of Occupational and Environmental Health Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Akira","family":"Okayama","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The First Institute of Health Service, Japan Anti\u2010Tuberculosis Association Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hirotsugu","family":"Ueshima","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Science Shiga University of Medical Science Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"name":"HIPOP\u2010OHP Research Group","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2008,8,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1047-2797(99)00052-6"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1047-2797(03)00133-9"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s003910050033"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/ije\/21.3.460"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/oxfordjournals.aje.a117723"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0277-9536(94)00149-N"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0091-7435(86)90064-2"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1365-2796.2001.00817.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_10_1","first-page":"72","article-title":"Men who never married.
