代替医療の利用と健康習慣の関連およびその背景

抄録

The analyses presented here examine relationships between the use of alternative medicine and health practices as an attitude to health. The sample is individuals aged 20 and older living in Tokyo. Multivariate analyses show that there are two attitudes to the use of alternative medicine and health practices. One is the choice of both alternative medicine and health practice except time of sleep and living a regular life, the other is the choice of either traditional medicine or health practices. Though they don’t almost related with age, education and health status, they associate with sex, the saliency of health, and the consciousness of relationship between body and mind which is a major concept of holistic health.
