Abstract

We conducted a questionnaire survey to elucidate cross-sectionally the correlation between personal lifestyles and mental health (self-rating stress and depression estimated by SDD),　and to investigate the significance of lifestyle intervention to promote mental health in a rural district. <br>The results obtained were as follows. Good lifestyle was correlated with low incidences of stress and depression irrespective of gender. This correlation was remarkable more in females than in males, and significantly strong in the 40's and the 50's. <br>The results indicate that better personal lifestyles by lifestyle intervention may contribute to not only physical health promotion but also mental health promotion of residents.
