Abstract

In this study, we examined the relationship between coping style and biochemical index among health check-up examinees. The data of 11, 852 examinees who filled in the“Stress-coping test”were analyzed. As the results of multiple regression analysis, active behavioral coping, distraction, passive resignation, and avoidance were significantly regressed on 8 biochemical index, although the highest total variances of coping variables accounted for biomedical index was only 0.03%. Therefore we divided the examinees into 3 groups (high, medium and low) according to clinical criteria and compared the coping score between these groups. As the results of the analysis, several significant differences between the groups on coping style were confirmed.
In conclusion, the active behavioral coping and balanced coping style of distraction and passive resignation were recommended from the viewpoint of prevention medicine.
