Abstract |
Background: Metabolic syndrome and depressive symptoms are common issues to be addressed in health promotion strategies for Japanese workers. Both CRC Study and Ryobi Study have been carried out for i...nvestigating the influence of physical, psycho-behavioral socioeconomic factors on the vicious cycle of metabolic syndrome and depressive symptoms in Japanese workers. The aim of this paper was to describe the protocols of these cohort studies and the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and depressive symptoms from the baseline data. Methods: Two cohort studies were started up at 2009, and baseline information on lifestyle habit and psychosocial factors was collected using questionnaires and objective measuring tools. Medical status was also collected from annual health check-ups. Results: In total, 1315 adult employees (1025 men and 290 women) participated in baseline surveys. The prevalence of metabolic syndrome and depressive symptoms of the participants were 11.5% and 18.8%, respectively. Conclusions: Potential mechanisms for the mutual effect of metabolic dysregulation and emotional response should be clarified through prospective analyses.show more
