Abstract

In order to investigate the relationship between health practices and mental health, a survey was conducted by means of a self-rating questionnaire on 793 seamen of domestic-trade ships. The questionnaire includes items concerning Goldberg's 12 selected items from Japanese version of the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ) and Breslow's 7 health practices. A total of 290 or 36.6% surveyed seamen of domestic-trade ships responded to the questionnaire. In a health practice, young person's eating rate of the breakfast was low. For the middle aged, the intake rate of smoking and the alcohol drinking was high. There is a relation between Health Practice Index (number of good health practice) and GHQ score, GHQ score was significantly higher in the 2 and 3 of Health Practice Index. Mental health level was dichotomyzed by GHQ score, namely, GHQ low score group (GHQ score from two points and under), GHQ high score group (GHQ score from three point up). The GHQ high score group was significantly higher in the rate of alcohol drinking.
