Abstract

慢性的ストレスは人々の生活習慣や精神生理的機構を介してさまざまな生活習慣病の発症や進展に影響すると考えられる.心理社会的介入によって慢性的ストレスが緩和し,生活習慣病の予防や予後の改善が図れれば,この領域において心身医学は大きな貢献ができることになり,ひいてはサービスの提供者の社会的,経済的環境の向上にもつながるであろう.そのためには,心身医学が生活習慣病対策に貢献できることを国民が納得することが条件となるであろうし,その際には説得力のある疫学データを示すことが必要となるであろう.本稿の前半では,生活習慣病の中でわが国の死亡原因の第1位と第2位を占める悪性腫瘍と心疾患(とりわけ冠動脈心疾患)について,いくつかの心理社会的危険因子との関連や心理社会的介入の効果に関する疫学データを,主に最近の総説を通して振り返った.後半では,Grossarth-Maticekらによる生活習慣病とパーソナリティに関する一連の疫学研究を例として取り上げ,国内外で行われたその追試研究を概観した.

Chronic psychosocial stress is thought to affect the onset and development of different "lifestyle diseases" via human lifestyle and/or psycho-physiological mechanisms. If psychosocial interventions that alleviate chronic stress could prevent lifestyle diseases and improve disease courses, mind-body medicine would contribute much to the countermeasure of lifestyle diseases, which in turn would lead to the improvement of the social and/or economical environment of medical care/service providers. In this regard, however, it would be necessary for citizens to accept the utility of mind-body medicine in this field, which would require "convincing epidemiologic data". The former part of this paper presents an overview, mainly through recent reviews, of epidemiologic data concerning cancer and heart disease (especially coronary heart disease), which respectively are the first and second causes of death in Japan, in relation to selected psychosocial risk factors and the efficacy of psychosocial interventions. The latter part introduces a series of epidemiologic studies on lifestyle disease and personality carried out by Grossarth-Maticek and colleagues, and presents an overview of studies from home and abroad based on their theory and methods.
